Green and Blue Studio

What Green and Blue Studio does

Green and Blue Studio is a privately held luxury bridal services provider operating from a single studio in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington DC since 2006. The studio's core offering is expert couture-quality alterations on bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride attire, evening wear, and vintage or family-heirloom pieces. The work is delivered by an in-house team of designers and seamstresses with combined decades of experience working with delicate fabrics (silk, lace, organza) using traditional fitting and garment construction techniques rather than proprietary technology.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services with unit-based pricing across six primary revenue streams: wedding gown alterations, bridesmaid and evening dress alterations, bespoke bridal design (custom gowns, bridesmaids, mother-of-the-bride, flower girl, evening attire), wedding gown cleaning and preservation (in-studio and a $360 DIY kit), bridal gown steaming and pressing ($295), and wedding dress shopping consultations ($85). An authorized (Elite) dealer relationship with Wedding Gown Preservation Company underwrites the preservation line, while accessory retail and a shippable preservation kit provide minor e-commerce revenue. Customers include brides, bridal parties, mothers of the bride/groom, and broader evening wear customers in the DC metropolitan area; pricing for alterations varies by job complexity with 30% rush fees under 2-3 months and 50% rush fees under 3 weeks.

Go-to-market is primarily local and inbound: a Georgetown storefront, online appointment booking, a content-marketing blog, and Instagram/Facebook presence, supplemented by a related partnership with Bailey Gordon DC. The firm has 8 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates as Green and Blue LLC; operating geography is stated as Mid-Atlantic USA with the online preservation kit enabling limited national reach.
