Wish I could give 10 stars to be honest. From my very first appointment to find my dress to my alterations, the staff has gone above and beyond. Finding the right dress was perfect, never felt rushed or pressured. I have one more fitting appointment before the big day, but these have gone so smooth and the staff is super knowledgeable 💖 so glad we found here and now Bridal!!!!

My experience at Here & Now Bridal was amazing! Jan was great at picking dresses that suited my taste and made it a very stress-free and fun experience! This was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I wasn’t expecting to leave with THE dress but I did and am in love! Thank you Jan for making this experience a memorable and fun for my mom and I!

This beautiful Bridal boutique is definitely number one. I found my wedding dress here and the experience was so amazing. I felt so comfortable and pleased with their costumer service. The prices for their beautiful gowns are amazing. You wont be disappointed. Thank you ladies.

I worked with Nicole at her wedding on October 17th, 2020. She raved about how much she loved the personal experience at this store. Her dress matched her personality perfectly!

After purchasing my dress from Studio I Do, we moved my dress to Here and Now Bridal for it to be tailored. Melanie at Here and Now was a dream to work with. Having your wedding dress tailored can be tricky being that you are usually at this stage in the game months before the big day. Melanie did such a wonderful job. At my last fitting one area was a tiny bit too loose and Melanie was able to alter the dress and get it back to me in less than four hours. The other ladies at Here and Now were so amazing. They would call and let me know of any openings in alternations and were always able to accommodate me. Thank you Here and Now Bridal!

Very friendly. Good selection of affordable dresses. Danielle was great!

This review is for the bridal dress alterations I received from Melanie at Here and Now last year. I have just realized that I never left this review after all the aftermath of the wedding, a family members passing, and then COVID craziness and I feel badly about that because Melanie was nothing short of amazing. My dress fit perfectly on my wedding day and felt like it was made just for me! It really did fit like a glove! The style of my dress also allowed her to make my bustle very simple- just one button that I could easily do myself- and Im so glad she suggested that because it definitely made things much easier before the reception! I told my now husband that I always felt like royalty when I was going in for gown fittings at Here and Now- so thanks for making it fun and thank you for Melanies immense talent and beautiful intelligence!

I’m not going to get into the details about my experience but let’s just say that the owner of this place & studio I do is downright amazing. I just wish the stylists could get a little bit more training on how to make a plus size bride feel more comfortable during their appointments.

I can not say enough great things about my experience at Here & Now Bridal. From the second we walked into the studio, we all felt so welcome! Our consultant, Meghan, was absolutely amazing! It was my first time ever trying on wedding dresses and she was amazing at pulling all different types of dresses to try. She did such a great job that I was torn between 2 totally different dresses! She gave me her advice and was so nice and helpful throughout the entire process. She even encouraged I take a break and think about it/look at the photos and come back, which was just what I needed! I said yes to the dress at my first ever bridal appointment, which is something I wasnt expecting at all! I couldnt believe the huge selection they have and the prices are unbeatable! I couldnt be happier with my experience or my purchase!

We got my sisters wedding dress here, and we had an amazing experience! Allison was such a huge help and has the sweetest personality. Great prices, great dresses, and great service. Highly recommend Here & Now for every bride!:)

Wonderful bridal boutique. Friendly service. Highly recommend for your wedding dress. Ericka said yes to the dress.

Absolutely outstanding all around! I went into my appointment nervous as it was my first time trying on dresses and I left over the moon with my dream dress in tow. Not only is the staff very personable, warm, and helpful, the dresses are drop dead gorgeous! I am so glad I chose to go here for my wedding dress, I couldn’t imagine a better experience.

Wow! Definitely 5 stars! I was so so anxious leading up to this appointment but Brittany took amazing care of me. She found me so many options to choose from, was patient as I tried on MANY of them. I found THE dress today during my appointment AND got to go home with it! Amazing experience!

Shopping at Here & Now has been my favorite part of planning our wedding so far. I love the way the store is organized by gown type instead of designer, it helps you narrow down what style you like and makes things so much less intimidating. Emily was an absolute dream to work with. She read me so well, helped me discover my style, and pointed out things I didn’t even think about. She got me into the perfect dress for the perfect price. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I can not recommend Here & Now enough.

Emily was amazing! I am a novice dress shopper and was dreading the whole dress trying and buying process, but I ended up having such a great time here! Emily and the staff were so down to earth and helpful. I probably didnt do a very good job describing what I liked, but the dresses she pulled for me were amazing, and I ended up buying one of the first ones I tried on after trying a bunch of others! Such a great experience and I am in love with my dress!!!

Amazing experience overall! The staff was phenomenal and treated me like family. I found a few “one of a kind” dresses that I LOVED, which means that no one else in the country has a dress like those. Jess, the manager, answered every question I had and even ones that I didn’t know I had. I also got my alterations done here and Vicky did an AMAZING job. She’s the bustle queen for a reason! From start to finish I was overwhelmed with joy with my shopping experience at Here & Now!

Jessica was the sweetest! I booked and appointment and she helped me find the perfect dress in an hour! When I didn’t get the thumbs up from everyone in my party, she met me back in the room and told me that if that dress was the one then I should go for it! She really made me feel like a bride and I carried that with me into my special day. I recommend Here & Now to every bride. Bonus- they have so many different styles & they’re all affordable! I went in thinking I wanted one thing but she opened my mind & I left in something I never thought I would see myself in!

I loved my experience at Here & Now! They had an amazing selection and were open to letting me try on anything me and my party picked out. I ended up finding my perfect dress and a great matching veil at a reasonable price! They are the best off the rack shop in the area.

So I had the most wonderful experience with Jan. She was absolutely amazing knew exactly my style I wanted, and really stuck to it. She was honest about the dresses and what there store entailed, and how some dresses could be altered and some couldn’t as easily. I tried on a few dresses and in the begging I found the one that was it, I tried on others but still kept going back to a particular one jan, was so amazing! Thanks here and now bridal for my amazing experience!

Got my dress that I didn’t even know was my dream dress and then had perfect alterations! Wasn’t sure whether to go to them for alterations or not, seemed a little pricey to cut off tulle and bustle but I was a little scared to take it anywhere else. Who better to trust than the woman that sold me the dress in the first place?! Everyone loved my dress and the shop was so easy to work with when I tried on dresses.

I found my dress at Here and Now Bridal! I was very pleased by the phenomenal service I received and by the wide selection the store had to offer. I saved a ton on a designer dress, and was shocked when I saw the original ticket price. I highly recommend the store!

Everyone at the shop is wonderful! I made an appointment and went to try gowns with my mom and sister. Jan was our consultant. She was so friendly and fun to be around. Initially, I was nervous because of the off the rack setup. But all the gowns were beautiful and more unique than what bigger box stores offer. Jan pulled lots of options for me to explore. I was stuck between 2 dresses and she was patient in letting me try the dresses on as many times as I needed. I never felt rushed. She even pulled accessories to help complete the look. I didnt take a gown home that day, but ended up coming back 2 days later. The second time around Jessica was a delight. I am so happy I found my dress at Here & Now and would highly recommend them!

While I did not buy my dress here, I came VERY close to doing so. There was a huge selection of dresses, and my attendant Alexis was amazing. She was funny, honest, friendly, and knew exactly which dresses to pull for me to try on. I wish we had found THE dress here, because I would have loved to give this shop my business. The store itself was also beautiful too!

Bridal Alterations! I was recommended by Studio I do to do my alterations here. I was super nervous since I have some friends who had bad experiences with alterations (elsewhere). I am SO happy I decided on getting my alterations done here. Melanie completed all the work and she was absolutely fabulous. Here and Now is extremely professional and timely. I do not feel like I was charged in excess and my dress looks so beautiful now that it fits my body as it should. Thanks, Melanie!

Despite a general negative experience because of parents, the ladies in the salon did everything they could to keep me happy and working to find the dress for me. Though the selection was minimal, I know to expect that from consignment boutiques. We ended up using the full 90 minute appointment, but I did end up finding the right dress for me! I will definitely recommend Here & Now to any ladies seeking a wedding dress in the Hampton Roads area.Edit:I went back to Here & Now for alterations and while I had a satisfactory completed dress, the experience was slightly less fantastic than I would have liked. I wanted to ask a few questions about changing or slightly altering the halter back of my dress, but found myself unable to even ask a single question due to the seamstress making all the decisions for me. I wasnt super upset, but I did end up with cups in my dress that were too big and felt uncomfortable, and when I finally was able to ask about them, the seamstress explained that I needed to scoop them in to fit properly (this is something that women with bigger breasts can do, but those of us with smaller are not really able to). All in all, the dress fit well enough and it looked beautiful. If I could do it again, I would probably ask to go with the younger seamstress, as I think it might have been a generational/personality thing that I have seen before with other seamstresses/tailors. Overall, glad I purchased my dress here, but maybe consider other options for alterations, or address this up-front before committing to anything.

What an amazing experience to find my dress!!! Went in with the idea of what I wanted. I saw the dress instantly!! I left with my dress, a reception body suit, hair piece and earrings... all together less that the max budget of the dress!!!!!! Highly recommended!!

I always wanted that Say Yes To The Dress experience and I definitely got that from this store! I couldnt believe I got my dream dress for the price I did. Jessica was absolutely amazing and completely knew my style! While it was busy in the store with the huge sale going on, I felt like the focus was completely on me. It was my first time wedding dress shopping and I couldnt have been happier!

Loved the dresses and the ladies that helped us were so professional and helpful. If a wedding is in your near future I suggest you check this place out.

Amazing service! I couldn’t have imaged going anywhere else. Friendly service that made me feel so listened to!

We had a fantastic experience with Jan! She was incredibly helpful and patient with me and my bridesmaids (who were there to help me.) I would recommend Here and Now to anyone! They really made me feel like I was getting a genuine say yes to the dress experience. Thank you Jan for helping me to find my dream, princess wedding dress!

I am still trying to find words for my appointment at Here and Now! The staff is warm, friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable in their craft. They are willing to take you out of your comfort zone, but never at the risk of sacrificing your preferences. They worked tirelessly to find options that would cater to my style, while at the same time working well within my budget. I cannot even begin to tell you enough how wonderful my experience was! I would recommend Here and Now 1,000 times over.

Jess and Jan provided an amazing experience with their knowledge and attention to detail. Our appointment was delightful, memorable and my daughter found a beautiful Casablanca gown that fits her like a glove. The ladies did an excellent job of pulling dresses to try on. I would recommend Here and Now to anyone looking for a top quality dress for a fraction of the price.

This is an amazing bridal store with phenomenal prices!! I had the best help the whole time I was there and everyone was nothing but super sweet. I took awhile to decide and I never felt pressured or rushed and when i decided to purchase a dress that was retailed at $2,500 I bought it for $1,200. Prices are amazing, staff is amazing, the dresses are amazing and the experience is quick! Definitely recommend!!

I LOVED this shop. It was perfect for a bride like myself. Im an introverted person and a studio like this with an intimate feel was just what i needed. Their selection is so unique and personal. You can see everything they have but not be overwhelmed.The reason Im leaving this review, though, is because of my stylist Brianna Cossu. She was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful and attentive and supportive. She was honest with me and brought over dresses that she was inspired by because of my interests and really made me enjoy trying on these dresses.10/10 absolutely reccomend the shop and Brianna to any bride looking for a dress

I went here for my first ever bridal appointment! Yay right? Wrong. I made my appointment for 10 AM right when the store opened. I was greeted along with 4 other brides needing to see dresses during that time. I was introduced to my “stylist” and was quickly shoved in a room while she continuously showed me dresses that weren’t flattering to my body type over and over again. She also didn’t listen when I said I wanted something with a sleeve. A simple, “we don’t have that style, but alterations can add it” would have been nice. Overall, my experience wasn’t great. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this bridal shop to friends.

I literally couldn’t say enough good things about here and now bridal. I found my perfect dress. We had a depressing situation happen during my alterations (alterations not originally done in house) and they fixed my dress within a matter of 4 days before my wedding and it was PERFECT. They made me feel like a bride when I was there. Their selection of name brand gowns is HUGE and the entire shop is so modern and gorgeous. The lady who fixed my alterations was a literal rockstar and Jessica was so sweet and so so helpful. I’d recommend here and now bridal all day every day because they saved my perfect dress!

My sister and I are having a double wedding and purchased both our gowns from Here and Now. Our bridal consultant Keonna was amazing. So sweet and catering. We showed her pictures of what we liked and she nailed it...The prices were beyond fair and shop was so inviting. We are so happy!

I found the perfect dress in less than 10 minutes and it was half of my original budget amount. Also, the staff were SO nice and helpful. It really made what would have been a stressful situation so much more at ease. Such a different experience than the one I had at Davids.

I had a very short timeframe to find and buy a dress, and I was honestly planning to order online because I’m petite and had a small budget for the gown... both of which don’t make for a great dress-shopping experience. But Maria at “Here and Now Bridal” showed me which dresses they had that would fit me (A LOT), and they had so many in my price range too! I was just planning to look around, but Maria helped me find and try on some gorgeous dresses, fully supporting me and taking videos for me to send to my friends and family back home the whole time. In the end, I said yes to the dress and cried like a baby. THANK YOU, MARIA! You guys are the best!

Janice was so helpful! Even though we didn’t have an appointment she went out of her way to help me find my dream dress. Thank you so much for your help!

Jan and Amanda were so great! Jan conducted my appointment and the time she spent with me in the beginning and her opinion were so helpful. I walked away with a dress I never in a million years would have tried on without her suggestion. Jan was so kind

I love this shop! They have a variety of dresses and the associates are amazing! Jan helped my find my ceremony dress and it’s perfect (and met my tight budget)! Thanks Jan and the Here & Now family!

Jan was wonderful, she listened to my vision of what I was looking for and brought dresses to me that fit that perfectly. Based on my feedback, she even brought me something I never would have thought I would like but it ended up being one of my favorites! And the other ladies in the parlor gave such sweet feedback and ooh and awws :)

My experience at Here & Now was fantastic! Jane and Amanda were helpful, the selection and quality of dresses were great, and the environment was comfortable and low pressure. I loved the warmth and intimacy of the small shop and, of course, found the most beautiful dress. I cant say enough good things. Thank you!

The staff was very helpful but its not the place for a plus sized girl to find her wedding dress. I did find it at their sister store

Probably the most impersonal shopping experience I’ve had. I called ahead and ensured that the store had my size (0-2), the lady I spoke to on the phone said this wouldn’t be a problem and they’d have plenty of dresses that would fit me. When I arrived, they seemed surprised that I would need a small size (like I already said on the phone). They proceeded to put me in about 10 dresses that didn’t even remotely fit. When I expressed that these looked really strange because they did not fit correctly, the woman helping me was extremely short with me and didn’t make an attempt to try to help or remedy the situation. At the end, she left me in the dressing room and got back on her computer without even saying goodbye. I would not recommend this place at all and wish I hadn’t even wasted my time going here.

Jan is AMAZING!! So sweet and genuine. You can tell she really wants to help. The dresses are gorgeous and reasonably priced.

Upon walking in I was quickly greeted and advised that their dresses start at $2,000 for the ones on the rack and it must be paid in cash up front before I could leave with the dress. I felt offended that this would be the first statement out of someones mouth after greeting. I would not bother to return to this store due to what I felt to be judgment for me coming in just to look.

In November I went dress shopping with my best friend - we went to All the Rage at first, she found BEAUTIFUL gowns, just not THE one. Ashley expressed we should try their sister store Here and Now Bridal which is off the rack store - meaning all dresses are discounted 40-80% off! Our eyes grew and we were very interested. When we all walked in we just browsed and were greeted by Brookelin ((who was a doll to work with)). Nicole was able to find THE dress. She didnt think shed cry or show emotion - well that day she did! I was so thankful for Brookelins positive mindset knowing she didnt find anything earlier that day and she was so friendly.I was previously in this business and I can tell you Id highly recommend this shop to all!

My mom, sister in law and I walked in to browse the sales lady greeted us asked how she could help. I replied we were just looking and that we had Called ahead and were told they had appointments, she then said yea we have a appointments and walked away. I then started looking at the gowns and I carried one across the show room lifted well off the ground and showed it to my sister in law and was told that if I wanted to see something that they would take it off the rack and was told not to take anymore off the rack. Definitely not the way to sell bridal growns . WILL NOT BE BACK!

I walked in looking for a dress with my friend and as soon as we walked in it was empty and the girl was rude She didn’t seem like she wanted to help and when we said we wanted to try on a dress the worker told us “ our dresses are a thousand dollars and up “ as if we couldn’t afford to shop there I was soo shocked I have never experienced such disrespect especially because I come from a very wealthy background and have never been judged like that ever nor would I conduct my self in such a manner

I really enjoyed my experience at Here and Now. Jess listened to exactly what I wanted and pulled the perfect dresses in my budget.

I loved that I could walk in and and browse and the staff was super friendly and helpful without being pushy!

Here & Now Bridal was recommended to me by a friend of mine and I am so glad I took her advice. Highly recommended!

Amazing service my sister found her dress immediately

Great staff. Beautiful dresses.

Very helpful team but small selection
