Nelia M. Sent on 11/19/2023Amazing ! Felt like a princess !
I had such a wonderful and memorable experience at the GBC ! Rachel was my consultant and she made me feel comfortable as soon as I had walked in . I told her was I was a young breast cancer survivor and she made me feel special, especially when I found my dream dress ! Rachel I had let her know I had a single mastectomy on my right aids and was sensitive to my needs . She didn’t sacrifice my desires when it came to the style of dress I wanted just because I had lost my right breast and was using a prosthetic! Brides who have gone through cancer or any brides who are looking for a princess experience, I would recommend to anyone ! Love my wedding dress and can’t wait to marry my best friend 10/26/2024 !Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:

We researched and asked for recommendations from local friends and everyone said “you have to go to GBC!” From the initial call to book the appointment to working through the selection process, Janet provided such incredible service and expertise. Janet truly listened to my daughter and helped us select the absolute most perfect dress. Janet was patient, observant, and knowledgeable. The gowns are beautiful and high quality. Overall, the wedding dress shopping experience at GBC exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend GBC to everyone that cherishes outstanding service and an array of styles and sizes.Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Hi Susanne!
We are thrilled that your experience was so amazing with Janet and our lovely selection of gowns! Thank you for the kind words.
XOXO

Incredible experience finding my dress! Alexis was so amazing in helping me find the perfect dress, trying on a few styles I wouldn’t have tried otherwise but loved, and helping me find a dress that was 10/10! As a plus-size bride, I was really nervous, but they had so many options and I felt gorgeous in everything I tried on. Highly recommend!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Hi Ashleigh!
We are thrilled that you had an amazing experience with Alexis and our beautiful size inclusive dresses. We can not wait to see photos from your wedding!

Elise S. Sent on 09/12/2022Said YES to the Dress at GBC
After visiting 7 bridal salons, I said YES to the dress at BGC! Alexis was absolutely better than amazing! She gave me honest advice and went above and beyond to help me find the one. She found the style I liked and picked the perfect dress. Was then helping with accessories and color matching of bridesmaid's dresses. She was bending over backward for me and my three guests to make sure we had the best experience possible. If I could do it all over again, I would hands down start with Alexis first because she was an absolute rockstar and made the experience so much better compared to other salons!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Elise!
Your kind words mean the world to us and we are so honored to have you in our GBC Bride Tribe! Your dress is just perfect for you and we loved watching how happy it made you! Cheers to saying Yes to the Dress!

I don't even know where to begin! I could not have asked for a better shopping experience at GBC in finding the perfect dress for our big day. I traveled from Atlanta for my appointment because our wedding is in Charleston and I am so glad I did!
My stylist, Jamie Smolik made the whole experience an absolute DREAM! She was positively upbeat, patient, incredibly knowledgable, the best hype girl a bride could ask for and made the entire process easy and so fun. It is a day I will remember for the rest of my life!
My Mum said it best ~ we all need to be more like Jamie! Super fun, have more pink in our lives and drink rose all the way!
To future brides looking at GBC - BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT & ask for Jamie! I can promise you, you will not regret it!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Emma!
We love your kind words oh so much and are so excited to have you in our GBC Family! We are so glad you were paired with Jamie its nice to have an instant connection off the bat, both being ATL Gals! We are so excited for you and cannot wait to pop some more Rose when your dress arrives!

Paige W. Sent on 08/19/2022One of the best experiences of my life!
I could not have possibly asked for a better wedding dress shopping experience!! Jamie is such a DREAM to work with! Right when myself, mom, and bridesmaids showed up, we were instantly greeted and taken to our area. Jamie had me in happy tears before I even talked about a wedding dress. One of my bridesmaids/best friend could not make the dress appointment so she had flowers sent to the shop the day before my appointment. Jamie kept the flowers and brought out the flowers saying the most wonderful things, which made me lose it (in a great way)! Jamie really understood what I was looking for in a dress and helped pick out some amazing dresses. It was almost hard to choose because every dress was so beautiful! I never thought that I would have the issue of being in love with every dress that I tried on! Jamie made the experience feel like I was shopping with a best friend, even though I had only met her minutes before! Her amazing positive energy made the whole experience so much fun, she truly made me feel SO beautiful in every single dress that I tried on. GBC really made the whole experience from beginning to ¨popping the champs¨ and throwing confetti when saying ¨yes to the dress¨ a day that I will truly never forget. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to go to Gown Boutique of Charleston if they are looking for an amazing experience wedding dress shopping. Just be prepared, because there is a VERY high chance that you will find the absolute dress of your dreams and leave there with the biggest smile on your face for days!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Paige!
You are going to make such a beautiful bride and we literally cannot wait to have the dress arrive so we can recreate your magical experience all over again! Cheers to finding the one and being a part of the best Bride Tribe Ever!

Aliza Sent on 10/13/2022The best and most personal experience! 11/10!
I had the most incredible experience at GBC! I attended a fashion show there, and found out that they were having a trunk show a few weeks after for my favorite designer, All Who Wander! It was certainly meant to be. Alexis and Janet both helped me, and they are the most genuine and kind people. They are truly there to be your biggest cheerleaders, and your voice of reason throughout the experience. Since it was really last minute for me, I only had a couple people with me, and we facetimed the rest of my family. Alexis made sure that my family on ft were able to see the entire time, and she was the most patient person when I had a hard time deciding. I've been with a few friends at bridal appointments, and I've never had a fun, personal experience like this one. At GBC they go above and beyond. And be prepared, when they put on the veil and hand you the flowers, you will cry all the happy tears!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Hi, Aliza!
Thank you for the double sweet review! We were so happy that you were able to view the fashion show and get you extra excited about all who wander! We feel like this collection was made for you! We can not wait to see the photos from your wedding! Please let us know if we can do anything else for you. For now, enjoy the rest of your wedding planning!

The best wedding dress shop in Charleston!
They were able to fit me in to an appointment slot that got cancelled and were so accommodating! They truly have the best dress selection. I was amazed by every dress I tried on. My stylist, Rachel, pulled a variety of dresses that were well within my budget and that also were exactly what I was looking to try on and also showed me the sample dress rack to look at. She was so considerate and easy going and made me feel completely comfortable. The owner, Janet, personally weighed in and pulled some dresses as well based on what I wanted and actually ended up pulling the dress that I went with. They were both so easy to work with and suggested little tweaks and additions to make everything exactly how I wanted it. I am so relieved that I was able to get in there because it truly is leagues above everywhere else. Do not go wedding dress shopping in Charleston without going here. And you might want to make it the last appointment you have or the only one because I can pretty much guarantee you won’t want or need to go anywhere else!!!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Annalise!
This made is smile SO big! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We feel so honored that we were able to help play a role in your special day. We know you are going to make an absolutely stunning bride and can not wait to see photos fo you.

Alison M. Sent on 05/03/2022Highly recommend!
I heard about Gown Boutique of Charleston through a fellow bride who had nothing but good things to say! I submitted an inquiry through their online portal and someone reached out immediately. For the month leading up to the appointment I emailed them photos of all the dresses that I liked as well as a bullet point list of what I I didn’t like. The day before, my sales rep, Jamie, reached out with a really sweet and personalized text reminder. When I went in the day-of, she greeted my ladies and me with a genuine and natural enthusiasm. I truly didn’t expect for her to have really studied the dress photos I sent, but she had and was very mindful of my wants and needs. As we started trying them on, I quickly realized that what I *thought* I wanted wasn’t what I wanted AT ALL lol. Jamie was so accommodating and flexible. There was no pressure whatsoever, and although I thought I would never buy a dress at my first trial BUT I’m happy to say that with Jamie’s help, that is now one less thing off my list!! After I said YES, Jamie doled out champagne and took our group’s photos so we could document and remember that moment forever! 10/10 would recommend to ANY bride.Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Alison!
We are so glad we got to throw confetti with you and celebrate finding the dress! Jamie sure knows how to create those memorable experiences and we cannot wait for your dress to arrive so you can relive that moment all over again!

Kayla B. Sent on 10/26/2020Amazing place to find a dress!
I cannot recommend Gown Boutique of Charleston enough. It was truly an amazing experience- my mother and grandmother flew in to look at dresses with me and the staff here made us feel so comfortable and safe. They are following COVID guidelines but the event was still very fun. The shop is clean and beautiful and the dresses were amazing. We were helped by Leah, who was so sweet and knowledgable- she knew everything about the gowns and how to steer me in the right direction. Thank you!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Thank you SO much for your kind words, Kayla! We are so glad you had such an amazing experience. You will be such a beautiful bride. Enjoy this special time! Xo -

Meagen M. Sent on 06/27/2023Amazing Experience!
I had an amazing experience at Gown Boutique! My stylist, Alexis, was incredible! She was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. It's clear she has a passion for this and I felt like I was in good hands. She took the time to welcome my mom, maid of honor, and me and take a look at some inspo photos I had brought. The first gown she picked out for me was almost perfect and she clearly listened to what I felt was still needed because after trying on just a few more gowns the fourth gown I tried on was the one! Everything about this experience was amazing and I actually ended up cancelling all my other appointments at other shops that day!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Hi Meagen!
Thank you so much for the sweet words! Alexis had a great time working with you and your family! Your pictures turned out stunning! Cheers to everlasting love!

My associate, Jacklyn was absolutely amazing! She made this once in a lifetime experience remarkable. Everyone in my party enjoyed themselves so much while I got treated to top notch service. She was so welcoming and wanted to make sure I got the wedding dress of my dreams, asking the right questions to make sure it was the best choice for me! Make an appointment, you won't be disappointed!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:

Emma R. Sent on 09/01/2020Absolutely needs 5 diamonds across all categorizes !!!
Absolutely needs 5 diamonds!!! Well worth the travel time to go to Mt. Pleasant from our small home town. My daughter had a very specific dress in mind. She spoke with Janet on the phone before booking the appointment to make sure they had dresses that were similar to what she had in her mind. They gave her honest answers and said to they had exactly what she was looking for, she even worked with her to make an appointment on early Sunday morning for a private session. Without a doubt, it was the best bridal shopping experience. When we arrived after a chat about the wedding and the visions of the perfect dress she took the bride into a large well let dressing room full of gowns in our price range and fitting the description of her perfect dress. Every dress was stunning and Janet took her time with us making sure we gave her our thoughts and she gave us hers. When it came time to retry, my daughter tried on the very first dress again for round two and then proclaimed this is it. I can not share the actual dress yet but it was worth the road trip. Thank you, Janet. You are the best!!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Thank you SO much! We absolutely LOVED working with y'all. We are so happy you made the trip to see us! Laura is going to be the most beautiful bride. We can't thank you enough for including GBC in Laura's big day! We heart y'all xoxo -

Nancie C. Sent on 05/23/2022Wonderful experience!
I recently visited Gown Boutique during a whirlwind weekend of dress shopping. I visited several area bridal shops and tried on many dresses. Long story short, I ended up overwhelmed and very unsure. I changed my mind several times on which dress at which shop I thought I wanted and ended up completely confused and had to take a couple of days to sleep on it.
When I looked back at my shopping experiences, Gown Boutique stood out in my mind, far ahead of the others. The shop is well designed, and Jamie had been the absolutely wonderful during my appointment, and seemed to really understand what I was looking for, and was also very respectful of my budget. I looked back at the pictures of dresses I had tried on there and realized I had been overlooking one at GB that actually checked all the boxes of what I had originally set out to find.
I contacted Jamie to see about coming back in for a fresh start and she replied immediately and got me in that afternoon. She had the dress ready for me to try, along with a couple of others just in case. She didn't pressure me at all, and was just as friendly and helpful and professional as she'd been at my original appointment. By the end of this appointment I was 100% sure about my dress, and very happy with my decision. Can't recommend Gown Boutique enough!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Nancie!
We loved getting to work with you to help you find your wedding dress! Your kind words mean the world to us as we really pride ourselves on memorable shopping experiences along with ensuring you are confident in your decision! We are so excited to have you in our GBC Bride Tribe and cannot wait to see the photos from your Big Day next year! Cheers to finding the one!

Hannah Sent on 04/26/2023An amazing experience!
Before coming to Gown Boutique, I went dress shopping at another shop and left confused. Upon arriving at GB, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. I tried on 5 gowns that fit the vision and still felt confused. Jamie could sense my confusion and asked if she could pull what she and my Mom thought I would like. Sure enough the next dress I tried on was THE dress. I did not want to take it off and it was the perfect dress for my day. I can not thank Jamie and GB enough for being so patient with me and for pushing me out of my comfort zone to find my dream dress!Gown Boutique of Charleston's reply:
Hi Hannah!
Thank you so much for leaving this sweet review! We love that Jamie and you had such a great time together finding your gown and trusting her to lead you in the right direction! You look absolutely breathtaking in these photos! Thanks for sharing!
