From the reviews

My experience here was amazing! They were so helping in selecting a dress, helping me narrow down what I was really looking for, and then deciding on the perfect dress! It was a beautiful strapless dress but I wanted to add some flowy straps to hang off my arms and they were able to add those no problem.

★★★★★ — Marissa, Oct 2025

My bridal journey at Elegance by Roya Bridal Alexandria was truly exceptional, largely thanks to the incredible Farah. From the moment I stepped into the boutique, Farah provided unparalleled service, guiding me through the entire process with expertise and genuine care.

★★★★★ — Emily, Mar 2025

I had an amazing experience purchasing my wedding gown at Elegance by Roya. I worked with Farah who was absolutely wonderful; she helped me select the perfect gown and worked with the designers to customize. I really appreciated how thorough she was throughout the process.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, May 2026

accompanied my sister to shop for her wedding dress, and I wanted to highlight the exceptional service we received from Farah. Before visiting this store, we had gone to several bridal shops, and honestly, none of them compare in the slightest to the experience we had here.

Plus size bridal & formal at Elegance by Roya Alexandria

Elegance by Roya Alexandria comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
