K&B Bridals

I can’t say enough about K&B. This was the first bridal store I went to, and luckily for me I fell in love with my dress here. The staff was amazing and really helpful when I was trying on dresses, purchasing, and all my fitting visits. Kate was my stylist and she was wonderful. She was honest and definitely didn’t push me into buying something I didn’t love. After I bought my dress I had no trouble getting it delivered or scheduling my fitting appointments. Susan did my alterations and she was amazing. My dress was tricky to alter, but she did a perfect job. Even when I realized a last minute problem, she fixed it quickly so that my dress was ready in time. Also, they have accessories available if you want anything. Truly wonderful and stress free!

Absolutely love this shop! Highly recommended!
After a TERRIBLE experience at David’s Bridal in York, I had already previously made an appt at K&B and wanted to check out David’s but I walked out of David’s in tears because the sales people were so pushy and was I ever GLAD I kept the appt at K&B. I was so nervous going in because I didn’t want another David’s experience and I was greeted with warm smiles from the lady who ran the front desk and I had Chris help me with dresses. She asked me what I wanted which at the time was a fit and flare but she recommended trying on every style so we did, some of the dresses I ever wondered how lady’s get in them with all the stuff they pack into the bottom of the dresses lol! I utimately went with the first one I tried on which was a beautiful Maggie dress that had actually come in the day and I was the first to try it on, it was meant to be!
I’m also having my dress altered there as well by Susan who is awesome! I have had a pair of earrings made by Randie haven’t seen them yet but can’t wait to and my bridemaids have had their dresses ordered from there as well!
It may cost a little more to go to a privately owned shop but it is worth it!

The service here is really attentive and wonderful. When I tried on dresses I think every employee came in during the process to «ooo» and «ahh» at me, which really made me feel great. My mother and bridesmaid were served a glass of champagne each and given a free cake sample from their wedding cake business that they are affiliated with. The only reason I DIDN’T get my dress from here was because they did not carry the designer I was ultimately looking for, otherwise I would have said yes to the dress! I plan on coming back for bridesmaid gowns and accessories. I would recommend them to anyone in MD looking for personalized service a far cry away from the discount stores like David’s Bridal or Alfred Angelo.

I’ve been a bridesmaid in 2 bridal parties that have used K&b Bridal and 2 that used Amanda Ritchie Bridal. The bridesmaids dresses are about $ 10-​$ 15 cheaper at K &b but imo its worth it to go to Amanda’s for the better experience. Even though K&b is by appointment only the service is very slow and hit or miss. The seamstresses and salespeople are nice, but they seem clueless and stressed out. I also think they treat brides with different budgets differently. One of my friends had a lot higher of a budget and we were taken on a tour and given wine and shown a lot of attention. The bride was put in her dresses and shown accessories to go with her dress and a jewlery lady showed her different pieces she could wear and everyone in the store came and introduced themselves. The other time I was there with another bride with a lower budget and we had to wait for our appointment, we had to ask for water when we got thirsty, the same jewlery lady ignored us and talked to her friend in the lobby, we had to put the bride in all of the dresses ourselves and she was told they didnt have straps to show her for a strapless gown when I knew they did. They also ignored her budget when they picked out dresses for her and it upset my friends mother so much she made us all leave. Also all the dresses are dirty on the bottoms from the floors, and the dressing rooms and bathroom are just not real clean. It’s not nearly as bad as David’s Bridal but its not that much better. Amanda Ritchie’s is clean and organized and everyone there makes it fun and they really try to make the bride feel special.

I got my wedding dress here back in 2012. A beautiful lace number with a sweetheart neckline. It was $ 1200, which I’d say was about midrange among the other dresses in the store. Here’s what I absolutely loved about this place:
1. Attendants are warm and knowledgeable.
2. I was there for an hour, during which I had 110% of their attention.
3. I fell in love with a strapless dress, but thought I wanted sleeves. The seamstress explained with confidence and enthusiasm that she could sew a pair that could attach and reattach at my discretion. She listened intently to my vision and gracefully interjected with her own professional opinions. The final result was amazing and just what I’d wanted.
4. At one point I said, «this dress would look amazing with a belt or sash at the waist.» I was addressing my mom, but seconds later, my attendant was tying something silky around me, beaming. And I loved it.
5. The dress came in 2 weeks earlier than the estimated time.
6. It was tailored to perfection. The seamstress was professional, competent, and kind. She took great care in her work on my dress.
From start to finish, it felt like the endeavor of buying my wedding dress was as important to the staff as it was to me. And you can’t put a price tag on that. I’m so grateful to recall the experience, two years later, with such fondness. Thanks, K&B!

We stopped in here looking for a wedding gown. From the moment we walked in, all staff was warm and accommodating. They had a great selection of gowns of all shapes and styles. We even experienced them going above and beyond to help the bride see what a strapless gown would look like with straps.
While we were there, an employee mistakenly thought a walk in was with another group, and when she left without being greeted, the owner realized what had happened and sent the employee after the person. That shows that she really care about customers and will go the extra mile to show you attention.
This shop also has a second floor of wedding party gowns and a selection of prom appropriate gowns as well. On top of that there are wedding planning services to make sure your gown isn’t the only perfect thing about your day. What a great experience.
Very warm and intimate, not like some other larger bridal shops which will remain nameless, though you’ve all heard of them. Those feel more like a carmax for dresses, this is individual treatment, and the quality of the gowns you see here, make the other larger chain look like you’re buying a dress from Target.
Definitely check these folks out!
