I dropped by to say hello to my friend Sonia Sibay, owner of LeReve Bridal in Leesburg, on Friday. The name of Sonia’s store means “The Dream” in French and it really is a dreamy wedding boutique, housed in a historic home on Loudoun Street.

In addition to Sonia’s own designs, she also carries some lovely gowns from top designers. As they makes way for new inventory, LeReve is having a sample sale on selected wedding fashions, with prices from $99 to $299. Featured designs include Casablanca, Moonlight, Symphony, Mon Cheri and Venus. And the samples are in “real girl” sizes - 10 to 16.

And if something else strikes your fancy, LeReve is offering a 10% discount on a wide selection of bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses when you mention Brides & Weddings. You can also save 10% on tuxedo rentals & sales, headpieces, shoes, jewelry & accessories, alterations and gown preservation.

Walk-ins are welcome, but it’s always great to schedule an appointment to ensure the best in personal service. For more details call 703.777.3757.

Happy Shopping,
