    Amazing Experience!

    I cannot say enough good about Milk and Honey Bride!

    Our daughter and her best friend and maid of honor, and I started shopping for the perfect wedding gown in December.

    Milk and Honey Bride was our second appointment, and we didn't have to go anywhere else!

    Brooke is AMAZING! She and her staff really listened and selected dresses that were perfect for my daughter.

    When we found "THE DRESS," Brooke popped a bottle of champagne for us all to enjoy!

    I will always remember the day I went with my daughter and her best friend and maid of honor to find the perfect wedding gown!

    Over the course of the year, Brooke and her staff were great to work with! Each member of the team provides individualized assistance. Cheryl, the seamstress who works with Milk and Honey Bride, is phenomenally talented!

    My daughter's dress fit like it had been made just for her!

    Milk and Honey Bride has gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gowns, and I am so happy that my daughter found the perfect wedding gown at Milk and Honey Bride!

    The daughter of our dear friends will soon be shopping for the perfect wedding gown at Milk and Honey Bride; and, my niece is planning to fly in from Connecticut to shop for the perfect wedding gown at Milk and Honey Bride.

    I highly recommend Milk and Honey Bride!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We all enjoyed working with you and your daughter throughout her wedding gown journey. Diane, Cheryl and I love what we do and enjoyed sharing in your special day. All the best!

    Need the perfect dress? Start here!

    My only regret is that I didn't start at Milk & Honey!!!! My now husband and I are long-distance, so I tried three bridal shops within a 350-mile radius. At Milk & Honey Bride, I was never rushed, I could tell their selection was extremely top-tier, and Diane and Brooke were fun and professional. In-house alterations were absolutely perfect, stress-free, and very reasonably priced. I recommend Milk and Honey Bride to any and all future brides.

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Alicia, thank you so much for the great review! You were a wonderful bride and we so enjoyed working with you. Congratulations and all the best to you! Hugs, Diane and Brooke

    Absolutely amazing

    This boutique has the most unique selection of dresses. They have the perfect dress for everyone and they make you feel beautiful while you try them on. I went to 5 different places before I went here and they found my perfect dress right away. I 100% recommend getting your dress here!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    lydia, it was truly our pleasure helping you find your perfect gown. We wish you the best and look forward to seeing your beautiful pictures. Congratulations! Diane and Brooke

    Milk and Honey Bride- Always has time for you!

    In my bridal dress search, I went to three different bridal salons, and I ended up at Milk and Honey Bride, as I was looking for a "boho beach bride" vibe. I reached out to their Facebook page first to see if they had dresses by Lillian West or Justin Alexander, as those dresses caught my eye the most, and when they responded ever so quickly to say yes, they did, I immediately scheduled an appointment to go look for myself. I'm so glad that I did because Diane, Brooke, and their alterations seamstress are SO sweet, personable, and excited to make your special day amazing. The joy they express when you find THE ONE dress that calls to you is clearly evident, and each time you come back for fittings or for whatever reason, it's like you're being reunited with family or friends. They even make it a point to steam your dress and veil prior to your wedding day to be sure that it is wrinkle free! I'm so beyond grateful for Milk and Honey Bridal because they never made me feel like I was wasting their time, and they always just seemed so thrilled to help in any way possible! Thank you so much for all you do for each and every one of your brides! It does not go unnoticed!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Liz, thank you so much for the kind words. It was truly our pleasure to play a part in your wedding day. We wish you all the best always!
    Hugs, Diane, Brooke and Cheryl

    Enjoyable experience all around!

    I originally found my dress on Instagram. I noticed that milk and honey bride sold the designer of my dress but did not have that exact dress available. They contacted the store in New York that sells the dress and had it shipped in as a rental for me to try on. The rental shipping was fast and they warmly invited me and my family/friends in to try dresses on. We were allowed to bring champagne and everyone had a good time in their beautiful shop.

    My dress came in very quickly and everything was pretty smooth from there. I went in for an alterations appointment and they also steamed my dress and a veil before my wedding day.

    They made this process so smooth!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Taylor! Congratulations to you! It was our pleasure to help make your wedding gown dreams a reality. We wish you all the best in your new life.
    Cheers! Diane and Brooke

    Amazing team!!

    Milk & Honey was the perfect bridal boutique for our wedding day! When we arrived the team made us feel immediately at home and after describing what I was looking for, Diane came back with the PERFECT Lillian West dress. Brooke and Diane were so much fun to work with!

    Amazing staff with wonderful customer service!

    Finding a dress was harder than I thought it was going to be! I am very decisive, but just couldn't find a dress. The warehouse style boutiques was overwhelming and tiring. Milk & Honey has consultants who know just what you want! The y make you feel beautiful and help every step of the way!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Haley-Anne,
    Congratulations! It was our pleasure working with you to make your wedding day special. You looked beautiful and we were happy to play a special part in it. We wish you all the best.

    Fun, poised, professional pros!!!

    Milk & Honey Bride is the best of the best!!! There may be a fair few bridal shops to choose from in Hampton Roads but I’m telling you go. With. Milk and honey. They have out of sight dresses. Stunning inventory and even more stunning service. They will make you feel like you are all that matters snd will bend over backward to help you find your dream gown. It truly wasn’t hard for me as Diane brought me different silhouettes and we narrowed it down. Brooke and Diane are the best !!! You can tell they have a great demeanor and reputation with the designers and colleagues they work with too. So pleased!! I would come for my fittings or pick up and roll in from work not always in the best mood and they had a way of being so kind that the magic of the biz would just transport me and my mom and get us so excited about wedding planning. Thank you Milk and Honey it was a breeze! I LOVE MY DRESS.

    Better than I could have imagined!

    Being a plus sized bride was scary for me! I HATE shopping for clothes and the thought of trying to find the perfect dress made me so anxious! When I walked into Milk and Honey, I just felt so relaxed. Diane and Brooke made sure that I felt beautiful and listened to everything I was concerned about! It took me three dresses to find the perfect one; one that was not anything I would have never expected to fall in love with. Size didn’t matter anymore, I felt like the most beautiful woman in the room! I can’t thank Diane and Brooke enough for helping feel amazing for my big day.

    Amazing amazing amazing!!!

    The first moment I stepped in to Milk & Honey, I could feel the passion and care Diane and Brooke put into their business. I wasn’t just another sale to them, I was a person that they celebrated along the way and truly took the time to know. I walked in, told them my budget and what I was looking for, and the very first dress I put on was the one. I tried one more on just for fun but knew immediately that was my dress. From that moment forward, Diane made sure I was taken care of and scheduled all my appointments in a timely manner with plenty of communication in between. She was sweet, funny, and on top of everything. These ladies were absolutely fabulous and I could not imagine choosing anywhere else to get my dress. I got my veil and earrings there as well!! You are guaranteed to feel spoiled, taken care of, and a personal touch that is hard to come by. Thank you Diane and Brooke for making me feel beautiful on the best day of my life.

    Simply the best! Diane and Brooke listened to what I wanted and did everything they could to help me find the perfect dress. So happy I chose Milk and Honey.

    The best energy -- such a unique salon!

    Brooke is AMAZING and made the whole experience of trying on dresses with my "I Do Crew" so exciting and magical. Of all the salons I'd gone to, the experience at Milk & Honey was definitely the most fun and enjoyable. Couldn't recommend more highly!!

    Fun and Personal

    Brooke was absolutely amazing. Milk & Honey was the second dress shop I visited and Brooke wanted to see her competition (another dress I loved)! Brooke definitely competed to win and while I haven’t picked my dress yet, the dress she picked is constantly on my mind. She knew my style right off the bat! The shop was beautiful, fun and intimate and I will definitely do a second visit!

    The women at Milk & Honey are so sweet, helpful, and professional. I was dead set on getting a dress with sleeves. I ended up getting the complete opposite but am completely obsessed with this dress!!

    Love, Love, LOVE

    I can't possibly recommend Milk & Honey more highly to anyone shopping for a wedding dress in the VA Beach area! We had tried a few places, weren't having good luck, and I was about to give up when we drove past Milk & Honey. It said "appointments only" on the door so I got nervous they wouldn't take me, but they totally did! In fact, Brooke stayed an hour past closing time to help me find my dress and we didn't even realize until we left! The ladies there are so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping you find your dream dress! When my wedding got postponed in April because of COVID, one of the ladies even called just to check in and ask if there was anything she could help with in rescheduling it! These ladies are amazing, their gowns are beautiful, and they are the absolute best place to go in the 757 if you're looking for your dream gown!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Ashley, it was our pleasure! We love having you as a Milk & Honey Bride. Your family is just amazing and we wish only the best for you!

    Regards,
    Diane and Brooke

    The best experience!!

    There are so many wonderful things I could write about Brooke and Diane and their shop. Buying my dress there was one of the highlights of the entire wedding planning experience. They are amazingly knowledgeable about the dresses and what looks good, the prices are reasonable and they have a great selection - especially for those of us with CURVES! It makes such a difference to actually be able to put on a dress in a size 18 and have it zip up the back. If you are a "bigger gal", make this your first stop!! Brooke and Diane are also just lovely human beings and it was such a pleasure to deal with them and see them during fittings and my accessory visit. I would highly, highly recommend them!

    Amazing experience!

    My sister and I stopped here for my first bridal appointment and I walked away with my dress ordered just about an hour later! The staff was so friendly and fun! The designers they have in stock have BEAUTIFUL gowns!! They took my style and every piece of information I told them and had me try on a bunch of different types of dresses. I have no doubt I picked out my perfect dress.

    Stunning in Star Dust

    The ladies at Milk & Honey are fantastic! I felt very comfortable working with them and my guests had a ball. I tried on multiple dresses my first visit, but none were just right. My second visit, we were able to combine aspects of different dresses to custom design what was perfect for me. I had on three dresses to see how it looked and it was a great experience. The start dust glitter layer was amazing and they steam cleaned it for me multiple times so I didn't leave a trail everywhere I went!

    They make you feel like a bride!!!

    From start to finish the entire experience was fun and exciting!! The staff give 150% to make the experience special. It’s a smaller boutique so you get the attention and personal experience rather than a major store who sees 200 shoppers a day! They have all sizes for women of all shapes. My wedding was black tie and they made sure I looked and felt the part! I’m 6’2 and they found the most beautiful dress and veil for me! I can’t recommend this bridal shop enough!

    Milk & Honey Bride's reply:

    Thank you Krista for such a nice review:) We will truly miss seeing you and had so much fun helping you find your perfect gown!! Cannot wait to see all the gorgeous pictures from your wedding!!
    Always,

    Absolutely perfect!

    I cannot believe the absolute incredible experience I had at milk and honey bride in Virginia Beach. Brooke is simply phenomenal. I will be the first to admit, I was so nervous to go dress shopping, I am a very hard fit in clothes. This was my first stop and my dress was the second one I tried on. She just knew! Please, if you are looking for a wedding dress and can make it to milk and honey, go! You will not regret it! Thank you again so much Brooke, you made me feel like I was your only priority that day, gave me a memorable experience and truly found me the dress that was everything I never knew I wanted!

    I went in to get a dress with about 30 days before my wedding. Brooke took my budget and my timeline and I walked out with a beautiful dress the same day. She was so helpful in finding me something that I would have ASAP, not to mention a dress that I loved! The first dress she picked was the one, but also had me try a few more. Her exciting and uplifting energy made the experience so amazing, especially as a picky plus size bride with many insecurities. I would recommend anyone to go there for the best bridal gown shopping experience.

    I had a really wonderful experience at Milk and Honey wedding dress shopping. My consultant was so helpful and friendly and made it a really special, exciting and personal day. She pulled so many dresses I loved and hadn't thought of. All of the gowns were stunning and I left with the most perfect, yet affordable dress. I could not have asked for a better memory in this wedding experience.
