Soliloquy Bridal Couture

my appointment. She is incredibly astute to what the bride is thinking and her reactions to the dresses she tries on. She made me feel comfortable the whole time and reassured me when I worried about certain aspects of the dress turning out. She always followed through and things I thought could not be done were doable. Honestly, do not waste your time and money trying on off the rack dresses that will need to be altered a million times and not fit your body the way it should. Miriam's method of made-to-order is fabulous and it truly does fit you like a glove. Because it is made for you and only you.

ce! From my first visit where I tried on dresses throughout the fitting process, Miriam was patient and kind. The dress I ended up purchasing was absolutely perfect for me, and it fit both my personality and venue completely. Miriam was such a pleasure to work with and seemed truly invested in ensuring that I 100% happy with the dress that I bought. It took me a while to finalize my decision, but I never felt pressured to buy before I was ready. I truly felt that Miriam just wanted me to love my dress, more than just focusing on making a sale. I attended many other bridal salons before buying my gown and I am so thankful that I completed my process with Soliloquy. I have recommended Soliloquy to every bride I know and will continue to do so!

2020 (with all COVID protocols in place, which was especially important because we have many vulnerable people in our "bubble"). I was very nervous and unsure about what I was looking for, but my aunt happened to pull a dress she'd seen online that she thought would be "me." It was beautiful, featuring hand-painted flowers, but it wasn't quite "me." Seeing how interested I was in the flowers, Miriam said, "Well, this dress actually has a sister!" And pulled another. From there, we talked about what we could do with the design, and Miriam and Barbara created something completely unique, replacing the pale pink flowers with my favorites, sunflowers and lavender. It was incredibly beautiful and I was completely in awe to see the final product. And all that in a compressed timeline, with collaboration and understanding at every step. Miriam really made me feel heard and appreciated as a bride, in a time when everything felt overwhelming. I am looking forward to someday passing my one-of-a-kind, perfect dress along to daughters.

nt that I met Miriam, she made me feel comfortable and was always willing to listen to my endless questions and concerns. I also met Ramya who is their in-house alterations expert, and I can honestly say that between finding a beautiful dress and working with Miriam, Ramya was the other deciding factor in saying yes to the dress and yes to Solilquy! Ramya and Miriam helped to transform and make my dress perfect for my big day. I also customized a beautiful veil and hair piece to go with my dress. I truly enjoyed my visits to Solilquy and I highly recommend to all brides!!

We had only been to one store prior but after stepping into store number two (Soliloquy) on a whim, I found my dress and experienced stellar customer service from that moment on. I had a customization done with Soliloquy which I was a little afraid would be risky, but it was executed perfectly. Everything from start to finish was seamless. Thank you so much!

and I never found a gown that spoke to me. The gown is perfect and I have never felt so much excitement. Sharon was my angel and Miriam was just as excited as I was! The experience of the entire appointment felt like what you dream about. I had lowered my expectations after going to a couple of (perfectly nice) other shops and Soliloquy brought magic back into finding the perfect wedding dress. On the more practical side they are very professional and keep to their appointment requirements. You won't have to worry about random people popping in just to browse and they have the entire building set up so you have your own space for trying on dresses with your entourage. The dresses line the walls and they have several on mannequins which makes picking dresses out incredibly easy. To be honest though, we never had to browse (though we did after for fun!). They have a detailed online survey that helps them pick out dresses that fit your vision. After trying on a few that were right up my alley Sharon brought in several that started to truly resonate with me and my family. It came down to two gowns that were perfect for me but totally opposite. They let you try on your favorites again if there is time and they do an excellent job pinning and clipping the samples. I have zero question that my dress will be perfect and you can even customize!! I will forever recommend Soliloquy, they transformed a dreaded task into an experiance I thought was only in stories.

d!

modated my large group very well and kept me in my budget. Once I found the dress, she didn't mind me coming back to just stand in it and enjoy it. Her down to earth personality and care for each of her brides truly adds to the whole wedding experience, I knew I was in good hands with Miriam and her staff.

kind and accommodating. The shop itself is incredibly intimate and we felt like she was entirely focused on our appointment. I told her the style and feel I was interested in for my wedding day, and she was able to pull a variety of options. She even let me try on dresses I wasn't particularly interested in, just to see/for fun :) I ended up finding my dream dress, and was able to have multiple appointments closer to June '17 (wedding date) for custom alterations with Miriam and Ramya, the in-house alteration specialist. I cannot tell you how kind, accommodating, and efficient both Miriam and Ramya are. They made this such a stress-free process with their thoroughness and desire to make sure I was 110% satisfied with my dress. Soliloquy is WONDERFUL!!

dn't want anything to fancy, not strapless or need for a veil. Flash forward several months and I'm walking down the aisle a beautiful sweetheart strapless champagne wedding dress with lace overlay, delicate hand sewn veil and beautiful dangling diamond pearl earrings. I could not have been more pleased and Groom's response when he first saw the Bride in this wedding dress was "Wow". Miriam, her seamstress and staff were so personable and helped me to find the exact dress and accessories for a lovely beach wedding. I could not be more pleased with their services and the outcome of having such a beautiful wedding dress. Thanks!!

, Natalie, a staff member, had already picked out 4 dresses that she felt perfectly described my vision. Both the first and second dress I tried on were in my own top picks, and I found myself struggling to choose, but I met with Miriam, the owner, the next day and she washed all of my troubles away. Because of their amazing customer service and fantastic staff, I had an absolutely phenomenal experience. They were very communicative and always available if I needed anything - Not to mention, accommodating all of my requests. Kim, the seamstress, did an amazing job using fabric from my previous veil to create the veil I had always imagined. Every time I walked through those doors I had a huge smile on my face. Miriam and the Soliloquy crew welcomed me into their family and I couldn't be more appreciative.

energy and enthusiasm. She was very passionate about her job and finding me the perfect gown! I cannot wait until I receive my Andrea Campbell Couture Wedding Gown!

ses. My mother and I were very happy with my experience and I was very happy to find and purchase my beautiful wedding gown here! The owner of the salon is very knowledgeable and was very helpful in easing any worries about sizing/fittings when ordering my dress and veil. She even helped my mother find a mother-of-the-bride gown she was happy with! I highly recommend Soliloquy to any bride!

t it. Miriam and her team really get involved and participate on this wedding journey with you. They genuinely love what they do, and it shows. It was clear from my first appointment that I was in good hands there. They really helped me find the best style to look good on me, and within my budget. They also lead the way for tweaking and altering the dress so it looked amazing and highlighted my features the way I wanted it to. They take pride in the work they do. It's not a shop about the money, it's a shop that loves bridal and loves to experience those happy moments with you. Oh - and their alterations team is AMAZING. They work they do is impeccable and beautiful. Honestly, this is the ONLY shop I would recommend.

ork of Miriam (the owner) and Ramya (my tailor). When I walked into their shop, I was so undone - I had tried on many dresses, and just couldn't find what I was looking for. Miriam and Ramya personally helped me pick out a brand new stock dress and customize it completely to fit my size and style. I had close to 10 fittings (since we were totally altering the dress) and in that time, I gained the best friendship with the Soliloquy staff. The dress they made me and veil I purchased were unbelievable, and I received so many compliments on them both. Also, the dress fit to a "t" - Ramya is all about the "perfect fit" and she did it! I will honestly miss seeing these two every few weeks. Soliloquy was definitely the best part of my wedding planning process!

dding and only needed dresses for the Best Woman and 2 flower girls. The process was great from the beginning as we selected the dresses to the end and adjustments were made. How incredibly gorgeous and beautiful these dresses were. The flower girls were amazing and the Best Woman was certainly a conversation for the evening. Soliloquy made adjustment to the sash of the flower girl dresses which was to die for. Also minor enhancements to what was already an incredible dress for the Best Woman made it a show stopper. Picture do not even do them justice. It was a fall wedding and these precious garments fit in with the season in such a stylish way. Miriam and team took such good care of us so well and were so professional. Soliloquy Bridal Boutique, You listened to what we wanted, made wonderful suggestions, worked with us with adjustments and in the end you were part of what made our evening magical. Thank you so much. I believe we selected the best of the best in DC area.

my wedding it had more give to it than I would have liked, and wish I hadn't had it let out as much as it was. I also found scheduling appointments to not be very flexible. Also, during my "last fitting" my bustle wasn't complete (this is after 2 prior fittings). I was leaving for my out of town wedding two days later so I had to wait while that was completed (they wanted me to come back again to pick up the dress). I think some of the time could have been managed better, luckily I work close so this wasn't inconvenient. In the end I was satisfied with the work.

been to, where I felt judged the minute I walked through the door, I could tell how charming Soliloquy was and how genuine their staff was, right off the bat. They were so welcoming and willing to help me find a dress that would be perfect for my garden wedding, yet still within my budget. I was hopeful I would find my dress here, and sure enough, I had it narrowed down to two by the end of my first appointment…just had to get mom’s approval! Although I was in the latter half of the window for ordering my dress, I never felt pressured to make a decision and Miriam and the girls at Soliloquy made sure the dress would be here in plenty of time for any last minute alterations. My experience was absolutely wonderful here, and my mom and I were treated like family. They made it a priority to learn our names and to get to know us, which made the experience so much more authentic. This was the least stressful element of wedding planning for me, and I am still in love with how gorgeous my dress was; not to mention, it fit like a glove! Ramya did such an amazing job with my alterations, and even let me customize a lace train, which required a lot of handwork. I had complete confidence in her and there was a not a single day leading up to the wedding that I worried about how my dress would look, or how it would fit. I could not have been more pleased, and even came back a few weeks later so she could alter a bridesmaid dress I was wearing for my best friend’s wedding. The girls at Soliloquy took great care of me and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. My only regret is not finding this boutique sooner!

pping that I knew they would do a great job. Miriam and her staff are very friendly, warm, and professional. My tailor did an amazing job over the past few months throughout my dress fittings. I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend them for sure!

style but was concerned about the fit around my hip/waist area. There was a lot of bunching of the fabric and I expressed this concern to Lindsey as I was unsure I wanted to purchase. Lindsey told me that because the dress was in such a large size, the fit was not going to be perfect, but that when I purchased in my size and received alterations that the dress would "fit like a glove" and that the bunching of the fabric that I was concerned about would not be an issue. At my first fitting in February, I was very disappointed in the fit of the dress as the bunching of the fabric was still an issue. I expressed my concern to the tailor and she explained that the dress could not be fitted too tight to me or else I would not be able to sit. I communicated that had I known that it was not possible, I would've never purchased this dress. Miriam asked that I allow them to do alterations and then re-asses when I returned for my second fitting. I came back after my first fitting and had the same issue with bunching, even while standing perfectly straight. When I communicated that Lindsey assured it would fit in a way that was clearly not possible, Lindsey denied ever saying this and said "as the manager, I would never tell someone that a dress is going to fit in a way that it cannot". She continued to be argumentative, pretended as though she did not see the bunching, and was generally very unprofessional and rude towards me. Not the type of customer service you would expect for such an important part of your wedding that has such a high price tag. I was clearly upset as I was now 3 months away from my wedding and have a great deal of money and time invested in a dress that does not look or fit as promised. After a long back and forth, Miriam asked that I consider trying another dress and they would cover the cost of this new dress should I want to continue to work with them. I later communicated to Miriam that while I appreciated the offer, I would prefer to head in a different direction for my dress as I did not feel comfortable working with them due to the unpleasant exchange I had. How could I trust them again, especially with a timeframe that now left no room for error? I asked that they refund my money for the dress so that I could afford to purchase a new one at another store. She refused to refund my money and also refused to accept responsibility or any blame for the fit of the dress (at least via email - don't want to leave a paper trail). I said I did not understand what the difference would be between them purchasing me a new dress versus refunding the money for the dress I had already purchased, as it is all money lost. She said she offered that to me "in a moment of compassion" but was still unwilling to provide me with a refund. Needless to say, I would definitely not recommend using Soliloquy Bridal as they have very poor customer service and will say anything just to make a sale or to save face. It appears that when everything with the dress turns out beautifully, they are perfectly fine to work with. However, when something goes wrong, they are unresponsive to concerns and unwilling to accept responsibility or take accountability for their wrong-doing.

e with them. Other bridal shops I had called prior to my call to Soliloquy, were not as courteous or excited as Miriam (Soliloquy's owner), Lindsay, and the other ladies at Soliloquy were. On the big dress shopping day, I came to Soliloquy with my mom, three sisters, and best friend. (Soliloquy was very accommodating of all of my guests!) Along with my company, I brought a handful of nerves and loads of excitement. While excited for this huge part of the wedding planning, I was nervous as to how the process would go; would dresses fit the way I hoped, would I like styles, would the Soliloquy staff be kind? My nerves were instantly calmed. From the moment my group got to the boutique, to the moment we left, Soliloquy made certain I felt special, appreciated, and supported! I did find my dress! It was the 4th dress I tried. I am in love with it and it is far more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be. What was truly helpful was Miriam (the owner's) innate ability to pull dresses in the style I described, but ones that also flattered my figure. I felt beautiful in all of the dresses I tried. After finding THE dress, we celebrated with a toast of delicious mango lemonade (though, if you'd rather, they provide champagne!) We took photos to celebrate and tagged them with Soliloquy's Instagram hashtag #SoliloquySelfie :) Some other factors to consider - the salon is extremely clean, thoughtful in decor, and welcoming. The lighting is perfect for trying on dresses. There are beautiful and comfortable couches and chairs for your guests to sit in while you are trying on dresses. They put a "Welcome" sign out, just for you! The store is very spacious. While there was another party on the other half of the show room, I never saw them. The division of space is incredible. There is ample parking in the parking lot, and it is a very easy location to find. Within a week of my visit, Miriam mailed me a hand-written, thoughtful thank you card. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. I highly, highly encourage you go to Soliloquy. I am so happy I did!

ited Soliloquy with my mom, sister, and future mother-in-law. It was a great experience, even for a relatively low-budget person like me. I ended up finding a dress for a little more money than I originally expected, but I feel good about my decision, and NEVER felt any pressure to buy from my wonderful consultant Lindsey. Trying on dresses was a quick, stress-free, and low-key process. The team is really able to accommodate whatever type of dress buying experience any individual bride is looking for while still maintaining absolute professionalism and the excitement of the process. When I decided to go ahead select my top choice from Soliloquy, they were able to get me in for a fitting that same day and worked to accommodate me as best as possible, and even included a champagne toast when upon finalizing my decision! I am so happy with my dress and experience with Soliloquy, and am excited to return for my fittings later this year. Thank you, Soliloquy Team, for a wonderful and efficient dress-buying adventure!

was so helpful and accommodating. Finding my dress at Soliloquy was one of the best days of my life. Everything was perfect and definitely made for a memorable experience. I couldn't have asked for a better day with my mom and maid of honor. I can't wait to go back for my fitting!!

! She even entertained my 13 year old daughter's and 5 year old niece's need to try on dresses of their own!! Nothing like seeing young girls light up after having endured an adult trying on dresses! They had a blast as Miriam helped them each into a few dresses, made a big fuss over them and had them show off the dresses to our group! So much fun!!

t this 8 month journey would have been a nightmare versus the joyous event it became. I tried 4 bridal shops and 4 high-end department stores (e.g. Nordstrom) before choosing Soliloquy Bridal Couture. I decided not to go with a department store dress because I wanted a one-of-a kind dress tailored just for me. At Soliloquy you are family and their only goal is to make you look and feel gorgeous. So Miriam became my BFF who had the expertise and knowledge to help me find my dress, we ordered it but Mother-of-the-Bride (MOB) didn’t like it. Miriam was able to cancel the order on her day off and worked to find me another dress. She suggested a silhouette that I would have never tried on, that met all the requirements but made me look even more amazing and thin at the same time. Her customer service is second to none. She has an amazing attention to details; she always honors her promises and follows through; she has a wonderful ability to listen and articulate your vision with what makes you feel comfortable. When I had an appointment in her lovely shop, I was the only customer there and had her undivided attention. Her service did not end when I had ordered the dress because she is also helped with the shoes, jewelry, foundation garments, and hair to complement my dress. She took e-mail questions, kept me informed as to when my dress had come in, and scheduled my 3 fittings. Miriam’s staff provided the same fabulous experience. Sandra, her in-house tailor, is just amazing. My dress fits me like a glove versus something off-the-rack. Needless to say I was thrilled from beginning to end with the experience and can’t wait to wear my gorgeous dress on my son’s wedding day. I wished I had more events that they could dress me for because we had so much fun together.

and makes you feel special but still offers dresses across a wide range of prices points (so if you don't want to spend a fortune they have good options!). Soliloquy also had by far the most unique dresses of anywhere I went. I went looking for Sarah Seven dresses but they had a bunch of other fun dresses also. I ended up going with a Sarah Seven dress and substantially reworking it with Soliloquy's truly amazing seamstress/designer Sondra, who helped me add a gorgeous lace top she designed. They didn't have a lace I wanted in house so she ended up picking up some in NYC and creating something truly spectacular and unique. She even helped me turn a plaid tie I had bought (matching my groom's) into a belt. In the end, it was just as much a dress by Sondra as a Sarah Seven and greatly improved as a result! Sondra and the owner Miriam who worked with me throughout the process really went above and beyond to make sure I would feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. Miriam always responded quickly to emails and was just super supportive throughout the whole process. On the big day the dress was a huge hit -- I felt spectacular in it and everyone loved how one of a kind it was. I would definitely recommend Soliloquy to brides like me that are looking for something non-traditional on their wedding days (though they seemed to have plenty of more classic options also).

re no stores close to DC that carried the brand. Soliloquy happened to have a trunk show coming up and was very accommodating to have me come try this and other dresses. Though I eventually tried on a few others, this first dress was THE one and Brittney, my consultant, and Miriam, Soliloquy's owner, did everything to make sure I had a very special experience getting it. I felt from the beginning that Miriam and her team were all about me. My budget was modest and I had no bridesmaids but, no matter, I was treated like a very valued and special client. They guided me through the process (which should not have been daunting but somehow was), were unfazed when my groom accompanied me to chose the dress and made sure that my sister, in Arizona, could join by Skype. Brittney and Sandra (who did my fittings) were lovely to work with. It was a huge surprise when I found out the Soliloquy has only been serving clients for a couple of year now. It seemed that Miriam was doing this for ages. She has achieved her dream of creating a beautiful and caring place for couples to find the right dress and feel great about it. Everything about Soliloquy is warm, professional and genuine! I feel lucky to have found this gem of a store and recommend Soliloquy to those who want to have their wedding dress experience be a special one.

lucky enough to work directly with the owner, Miriam, who is a lovely person and took the time to get to learn more about me and my vision for my wedding day. Though I wasn’t sure exactly what I was searching for, Miriam was right on when choosing a dress for me-I purchased the first one she suggested! It was so perfect for me and the look I wanted to achieve for my wedding day. She was also very respectful of our budget and was upfront at all times. With the help of the Soliloquy staff, I pulled off the simple elegant look I was going for without breaking the bank! I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day! Through the months that I was lucky enough to work with the staff of Soliloquy Bridal, I found that there are several perks to being a Soliloquy bride. Here are just a few: 1) You get a first class experience when trying on dresses. They can accommodate just you and your mom, larger groups, and you can even Skype with others. Once you find your dream dress, they break out the champagne and give a toast! 2) Once you purchase your dress and before your actual dress arrives, Soliloquy allows you to "visit your dress"! Treat yourself to trying on the "floor model" of your dress–you'll be able to make lots of accessory decisions that way. Or just enjoy admiring your beautiful dress in the mirror! 3) You can participate in trunk shows for dresses and accessories. This is a great way to see a wider selection of products that the designers offer, and I also found it neat to be able to meet the designers who created the different elements of my bridal outfit. 4) You can participate in a style day where you can get a trial run of your hair and makeup on your big day. I was very pleased with the results of Shaunda (hair) and Liz's (makeup) efforts, and ended up hiring Shaunda for my wedding day. It was so much fun to get my hair and makeup done and then get to put on the "floor model" of my dress and veil to see the entire look-it was quite a magical moment. 5) You have an opportunity to work with Sondra, wonder seamstress! She is quite amazing. She made the small adjustments needed on my dress quickly and cost effectively, and always had a smile to share! She was so wonderful to work with, and I expected no less from my experiences with the rest of the Soliloquy staff. 6) The Soliloquy staff will make you feel like part of the Soliloquy family. There are hugs and smiles all around when you enter and leave the store–they are always genuinely glad to see you. Having found my dream dress, it was important to me that my mom find the perfect Mother of the Bride dress. She had tried on many dresses from department stores without much luck. Miriam to the rescue! She selected an absolutely gorgeous gown for my mom–it was the perfect color and cut for her! My mother looked stunning in her Soliloquy dress. By now, I hope you can tell how much I loved every aspect of my experience with Soliloquy Bridal. I hope that every bride has the opportunity to feel so special leading up to her wedding day. Luckily, you do-make a visit to Soliloquy #1 on your to-do list! In my opinion, Soliloquy rivals Disney as "The Happiest Place On Earth" =)

own I wanted to try on and that led me to Soliloquy, who carried it. My experience started out wonderfully after I heard back from Miriam only a couple days after I inquired about the gown. Her communication is amazing and made me feel so much better after such a bad prior experience (where I would wait weeks, sometimes even a month for a response). Soliloquy didn't have the sample in stock (because it's a 2012 Fall dress) but ordered it just for me so that I could try it on before ordering! After driving 5 hours to come to my appointment, my mom and I were greeted with smiling faces, mango lemonade (delicious!) and Miriam herself! They had the dress I wanted to try on all ready for me, including a sketch and a fabric swatch of what the dress would look like brand new! SO awesome! I quickly tried on the gown and realized it was definitely the ONE and made me so happy that I had had the prior awful experience because otherwise I never would have found this dress and never would have met Miriam and the sweet ladies at Soliloquy!! All the girls came down to see the dress, as they had all probably talked to me on the phone at some point lol! It was so great, I felt SO special! Miriam helped pick out the perfect veil (I told her what I was looking for and she only had to pull one for it to be perfect!), and she randomly added a headpiece that I just HAD to have after seeing it... it's like she knew me and my style right away without any explanation! It was so great to only have to try on one dress and one veil and have my bridal look complete! We finished up with a champagne toast, accompanied by sweet and special marriage advice from Miriam. The whole day was so memorable and I definitely think it was worth the drive!! I can't wait for my dress to arrive and for the fittings to have my dress on again! I never thought that such a terrible dress experience could lead me to finding my dream gown and working with such amazing people...it was SO refreshing! Basically it was the best day ever!! :)

unting DRESS process so easy. Right up to the time I took the dress home, Miriam was involved and even steamed the dress herself to get the last minute wrinkles out. I would highly recommend them to any bride!

ased my veil at Soliloquy, but had an older dress I was planning to wear. They treated me the same as though I bought the dress through them, helping me with alterations and getting it in tip top shape for my wedding. I am truly so thankful to Soliloquy! Not to mention, the salon is adorable (and clean/organized)! :)

rt set on one. As soon as I arrived, I immediately felt so welcomed and comfortable thanks to Miriam. Unlike other bridal salons and wedding vendors in general, Miriam and the other staff at Soliloquy don't treat you differently based on your budget and are not judgmental regardless of your budget. I was able to find the perfect gown at the perfect price and Miriam was very flexible in scheduling fitting appointments around my very busy work/grad school schedule every step of the way. I was excited to take my dress home but also so sad that I had to say goodbye to Miriam. :(

ess styles and minimal customer service or interest to what I wanted. I was beginning to think that, that was just how this industry operated. When I went to Soliloquy, upon walking in the door I knew I was going to find my dress. Miriam and her team were/are able to create a personal experience for each bride by understanding your venue and finding a dress that appropriately speaks to YOUR vision, style and personality. Even after selecting my dress the customer service is still top notch. I knew I was in good hands with Soliloquy and would easily recommend this boutique to any bride!

to try on. One thing that I appreciated was that while I was in love with two dresses, one was significantly less expensive and she in no way tried to push the more expensive dress. I sort of felt bad buying the less expensive dress after being treated with so much respect in that aspect of dress buying! You leave there feeling very special...that you and your dress were really the important thing going on for them at that time and you weren't just another appointment that day. I honestly can't wait to go to my first fitting now!

nitely the ultimate Dream Team that will help you look sensational--not only for the brides, but also for the bride's mom (me!). From the moment we walked into the boutique, my daughter and I knew this appointment would be special. Miriam had an attractive window display of a wedding dress as well as a few beautifully displayed on mannequins in the store. Miriam was dressed professionally and smartly. The boutique's marble floors gleamed, the lighting was soft, and Big Band style crooner-type music played soothingly in the background. Dresses were hung along the walls of the store and were easily accessible for browsing. The most notable thing about the dresses was that they were all made with natural fabrics and Miriam chose designers that were attentive to quality construction and beautiful detailing. Miriam was pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, very attentive to my daughter. Miriam listened carefully as my daughter talked about the style of dress she was looking for. Miriam showed my daughter a silk dress designed by Heidi Elnora. When my daughter walked out of the dressing room with it on, her eyes were huge with wonder and excitement and she was speechless. Even though my daughter had on minimal makeup that day and her hair was in a ponytail, The Dress transformed her into a stunningly beautiful, gorgeously elegant young woman. Miriam had hit a homerun with the first dress! Miriam helped us mark the moment with a champagne toast. Every step of the way, Miriam informed us up front regarding the pricing of the dress, veil, and other accoutrements, so there never were any surprises. I also had to find a dress for the wedding and thought I could save money by looking at the department stores. Boy, was I ever wrong! The department store styles for Mothers of the Bride were either frumpy and old-fashioned, or they were way too slinky and age-inappropriate! So, I let Miriam have her way with me and I am so glad I did! She chose a dress for me that was elegant with a touch of age-appropriate sass. Best of all, Miriam's prices were very competitive with the department store's! The Soliloquy Staff was also top notch. All of the women were pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, professional, great dressers, and genuinely nice people. Also, Sondra, the Alterations Genius, was fantastic. With her skill and genius, she was able to make the alterations to my daughter's wedding dress without breaking the bank. She was wonderful and a delight to work with! I can't say enough wonderful things about Miriam and her staff. Make it your top priority to visit Miriam and her staff and let them transform you into the Bride of Your Dreams (or Mother-of-the-Bride of Your Dreams as she did with me)!

ck out the PERFECT dress! The owner, consultants and seamstress were very nice and helpful in every dealing I've had with them. I highly recommend this boutique to anyone living in the DC/MD/VA area who is looking to find THE perfect dress.

making sure all of her customers are happy and get the best possible service. All of her staff were extremely friendly to me (and those that came in with me) and they make the whole experience so special and enjoyable. A huge shout out to the seamstress Sondra, who did an amazing job with my alterations; again, in the most calm, professional, and friendly manner possible. The space is beautiful and calming, which was so important to me. They have a great selection of beautiful, unique dresses. And sweets to share as well! :)

ess, I looked at several other stores, and then came back to Soliloquy. All of the staff were so friendly and excited to help. They were even able to include portions from my mother and grandmothers dresses into my gown, which made it incredibly special. I would definitely recommend this boutique if you are looking for something special and not your every day gown. thanks soliloquy

his shop far exceeds what I was expecting from watching those shows:) Miriam and the rest of her team are spot on when they were finding dresses to fit my vision. I would recommend this shop for someone who won't compromise when it comes to exceptional service.

dal shops and nothing compared to this store. The customer service is the best I've experienced and the dress is perfect. They did everything they could to make it a wonderful experience and I could not be happier. Just picked up my dress after my final dress fitting and it's perfect!

may even be sisters since we have the same last name. She did the initial pull of gowns for me based on what I told her I thought I liked. She let me browse the racks and there was absolutely no pressure during the visit. We had a wide variety to chose from. The dress I ended up purchasing was 15% off because it was a trunk show gown AND eco-friendly. I hadn't considered eco-friendly until I saw the Celia-Grace line. The designer donates a water filtration system to a family in need with every dress purchased. In the end, my advice would be to cancel that appointment with some chain wedding dress store and drive to Soliloquy Bridal. The service is out of this world and there really isn't a price tag for the peace of mind you get when you work with these amazing women. 5 Stars!

he had what I needed and that everything would be taken care of in time. On my first visit to the boutique, I was greeted warmly and sincerely, and from that point on I made the decision to handle the rest of my wedding attire details with Soliloquy Bridal Couture. I gave genuine 5 star ratings, because my experience with Soliloquy Bridal has been top notch from the beginning and remained throughout. I am sad that my wedding experience is coming to a close, but I know that I have cultivated a relationship with Soliloquy Bridal that will keep me recommending it, and me utilizing their services for any special occasion need. Fabulous salon, fabulous service, fabulous fashion... I would DEFINITELY suggest you pay those ladies a visit!

und a dress there that I absolutely loved for my maids and it was more money than I wanted them to spend, so after consulting with Myriam, the owner, they agreed to give me about a 20% discount just because! Ordering with them was a breeze, and throughout the process Joanna would send me these really nice, handwritten notes about where we were in the ordering stage... a very nice and personal touch! When my dresses came in, one of my bridesmaids wouldn't be able to try it on until 2 days before the wedding (she lives in Brazil). Soliloquy was so flexible to our needs; they called in a seamstress especially for us that day just to fit my bridesmaid. Unfortunately my bridesmaid ended up missing her flight to DCA, but Myriam was still in it to help her get fitted. We ended up having to go to a last minute tailor in Landmark mall just because we were running out of time, but Myriam and all the folks at Soliloquy really had my back and were ready to work all night if they needed to in order to get my bridesmaid fitted. She called me several times throughout the day just because she was concerned... how sweet is that! Joanna, Myriam, and all the folks at Soliloquy really showed me that they were willing to go far above and beyond to make their piece of my wedding day special, so I know they'd do that for anyone. I'd definitely recommend them to any bride looking to outfit herself or her maids. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go right back to them!

ething equally stunning had I looked for my dress there. I found Miriam because I needed the perfect veil. I had found a picture of a Sara Gabriel veil. Miriam answered my email asking if she had it. I went to her store and looked at things. She ended up ordering exactly the veil I desired. It was beautiful. And she helped me pick out a beautiful hair clip to wear during the receptions. It shows so perfectly in the pictures. Miriam took such personal care of me. She showed me how to put on the veil over my face, how my husband-to-be would raise it, and how to remove it and attach the hair clip. Everything worked perfectly.
