Diamonds & Pearls Bridal — Local services in Manassas Park

If you're searching for the perfect bridal boutique, look no further—Diamonds and Pearls is the place you need to visit.

I started my search for a long-sleeve ballgown nearly a year before my wedding, visiting several bridal shops in Northern VA without success. With just four months left until my big day, I was running out of time and began calling local shops, hoping someone could fit me in. Diamonds and Pearls went above and beyond. They answered my call after hours, even though they were closed, and took the time to share model numbers with me so I could get an idea of their selection. They quickly arranged a time for me to visit, even accommodating my hectic work schedule by opening the shop after hours that same day just for me.

When I arrived, I was amazed by the beautiful selection they had. Every style, color, material, and trend you could imagine was available, and their rack of ballgowns stood out as far superior to what I’d seen elsewhere. Brittany, who had kindly opened the shop for us, immediately began pulling the dresses we had discussed on the phone, along with other styles so I could try various silhouettes. She was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the process of trying on the dresses, envisioning myself in them, and adding accessories like veils and crowns to complete the look.

In the end, I fell in love with a stunning Demetrios ballgown—one I never would have considered if I hadn’t tried it on in their shop. It came with a separate cathedral skirt train that was unlike anything I had seen and left everyone at my wedding speechless. Despite the chaos of wedding planning, shopping for my dress was the least stressful part of the entire process. Brittany was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. The dress selection was incredible, the prices were competitive, and I left feeling completely confident in my choice.

I’ve recommended Diamonds and Pearls to so many brides, and I’ll continue to do so. Their level of professionalism, kindness, and class is unmatched. Thank you to the entire team for making my dream princess ballgown a reality and for playing such a special part in my...

My future dil , age 22, size 0, was assured by the owner Melanie that a size 10 dress with complicated overlay, corset back and distinct neckline could “definitely be altered” to fit her. My dil trusted her. Bought it. Our professional seamstress took time on a Sunday to figure out the alterations and concluded it could not be done without looking quite awkward. Despite her losing the business of altering the dress, she told us honestly. We called Melanie immediately. Less than 48 hours after purchasing the dress and Melanie refused to accept the return of the dress. My dil bought it trusting Melanie’s insistence it could be altered - which was a false pretense. My son called and kindly explained the situation but Melanie would not budge. I entered the call and Melanie said “I told her it could be altered t bc I know it can be altered.” I asked if she was a seamstress. She said no. I said did your seamstress look at the dress on my dil. She said no. Well my seamstress did and said it would not look normal altered bc of all of the combined challenges mentioned above. I explained to Melanie that these kids are paying for almost their entire wedding themselves, so please understand she bought it on your word it could be altered -which implies altered to still look good , not awkward. She became rude and told me not to question her integrity. If she made a false statement in selling the dress -even if unintentionally -the noble honest thing to do is to allow the return. I will be filing a lawsuit in small claims court against Diamonds and Pearls while my dil is out 1800 on a dress she can not wear. Terrible customer service. Especially awful bc it hurts a young bride to be who bought a dress on the word of the owner insisting it could go from size 10 to 0 without a problem. Even if unintentional this was not true. Beware. Don’t ruin one of the joys of wedding planning with the unnecessary stress of such practices of a local establishment. Sadly, We will have to handle...

Let me start by saying that the owner, Melanie, and her two-woman team are just wonderful, from their cheerful smiles to their positive vibes, and their dress selection is absolutely stunning! I was instantly greeted and invited to look around the second I walked in the door. The fun really started when I arrived for my appointment a few days later! I knew some of the things that were on my “must have” and “don’t want” list, and we went from there. It’s amazing how many dresses you can try on in 90 minutes! They ranged from lacy to frilly, needle-worked to bedazzled, and all of them had their own unique notes of fun and elegance. And ALL the trains were jaw-dropping! Melanie was so helpful in picking the dresses, helping me change in/out of them, keeping track of favorites, and offering insight into actually wearing the dress for the big day (rather than for just a few minutes). There was one I instantly fell in love with as soon as I put it on (lacey, with hand-embroidered flowers, off the shoulder waterfall-type sleeves, and a very sexy slit), but with both of us having older parents, I wanted to pay homage to the classy Vogue style that would honor them. I describe my dress as Elizabeth Taylor-style, like in the old perfume commercials. It’s strapless, glittery, and has a layered lace bottom half, like I’m walking in clouds. It’s just amazing! It makes me feel like a princess…not the Disney kind, like Daddy’s princess. I couldn’t be happier at how it blends classic styles with modern looks and materials. My whole experience was just euphoric, especially between the stress of wedding planning. I couldn’t be happier! And ladies, when you go, don’t forget to bring some champagne to...
