Unveiled: Harriet Kassman Bridal Salon

In Bridal Party’s new feature, Unveiled, we break down the basics—and extra frills—of area bridal salons to help you decide where to shop. First up: Harriet Kassman in Mazza Gallerie.

By Marissa Conrad

Harriet Kassman Bridal Salon delivers a classic gown-shopping experience. Photographs by Abby Greenawalt.

If you’re looking for the out-of-the-movies dress-shopping experience—trying on elegant gowns in a fitting area with couches and flowers—Harriet Kassman Bridal Salon (5300 Wisconsin Ave., NW; 202-363-1870) won’t disappoint. The salon, going on two years old, is the epitome of classic: a glittering chandelier, a courteous staff, a selection just big enough to give you options but not so big that it overwhelms. Kassman, a petite woman who has owned the adjoining Harriet Kassman women’s boutique for 35 years, is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. She’ll chat your ear off (while you pet Bastien, her pretty much perfect pet poodle), but she’ll never push you to buy. “The bride needs to feel it in her heart that this is the dress she has dreamed of,” she says. “All you have to do is watch her face. When she knows it, she flushes.”

Harriet Kassman carries dresses by Badgley Mischka, Stephen Yearick, and more.

On-site alteration—there’s a room of tailors in the back—cuts down on the number of fittings you’d have at most salons, which typically send dresses out of house to be taken in or hemmed. Harriet Kassman also has the Washington exclusive on Romona Keveza gowns and Chris Kole’s new Cotton Bride collection. If the wares here are out of your price range, at least swing by to check out the sample rack, which usually has about 20 dresses up to 60 percent off. Most are size 10, but remember: Those in-house tailors can work wonders.

After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks!

Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know so much about this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I feel that you just could do with a few p.c. to power the message house a bit, but instead of that, that is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

What I have seen in terms of laptop or computer memory is the fact there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must fit in with the specific features of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is pretty current and there are no main system issues, updating the memory space literally requires under 1 hour. It’s among the easiest laptop upgrade techniques one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

I bought my wedding gown from Harriet Kassman and I had the best customer sevice experience ever! Unlike alot of other bridal salons in the area I felt very comfortable and the staff really tended to my needs.

Harriet isn’t that nice - she a little manipulating devil who doesn’t pay her bills. Order from her at your own risk - god knows if your dress will every come.
