Lovely Bride was born of the concept that bridal could be way cooler. When the company was founded in 2009, there was a creative swell of bloggers, photographers, planners, florists and fashion designers doing things differently. A change was happening in weddings, and brides were looking for something more authentic and REAL for their wedding day. Not the glitz and polish of weddings memorialized in gilded frames. The wedding dress shopping experience lagged way behind, with its exclusionary and formal feel.
1632 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC, USA
lovelybride.com/stores/washington-dc-bridal-shop/Georgetown is a busy shopping destination, so if you are driving we recommend you leave some time to find parking. There are metered parking spaces available on Wisconsin Avenue and two hour parking is available on the residential side streets. Side streets tend to have more availability, and as a bonus you can wander among Georgetowns gorgeous and historic homes.
First Appointments at our DC location are 75 minutes in length. We dedicate a stylist to finding you a gown, so bring your 'I do' crew be ready to buy! Just looking? Give us a buzz...we'll have you in to browse!
We recommend that you limit your party to three or less during your visit at Lovely. We are cozy little boutiques with limited seating and we have found that the opinions of a trusted few always make for an easier decision for you. For larger parties, please chose a salon that best fits your number of people, and we ask that you bring no more than four max as space is limited.

We like to order the dress as close to your current size as possible, but all bridal gowns need alterations to give it a perfect fit for your wedding day. Before picking up the gown you purchase at Lovely, we suggest you contact a tailor to schedule your appointment to start the fitting process. Lovely has recommended tailors in each of our shops, so contact your local store for a referral. We recommend allowing starting your alterations two months prior to the wedding date, so make sure to add this time onto the four to six months for gown production.
We carry many accessories for all our brides; including veils, headpieces, earrings and bracelets.
Hi Lovely! I’m Lanie List, the dreamer and founder of this incredible bridal collective.
I created Lovely to speak to brides who wanted to shop on their own terms. To go their own way. Ten years ago, you’d be hard pressed to find a bridal shop that didn’t carry a standard list of the ‘big name’ designers. But there was this amazing groundswell of indie designers stepping out with unique and edgy designs. I was set on being the retailer that stepped out with them and offer something new to brides. That is why we are called the ‘OG indie bridal shop’. Some of our first designers have incredible businesses today and we love the fact that we grew this indie bridal industry together.
I still love to push the envelope, whether it’s with Marketing, Design, or how we are doing business. We are proud that we take this business to heart.
