Great Experience!

The entire experience was amazing! Seeing my name on the cute chalkboard upon arrival, then being greeted by friendly staff while I filled out the paperwork asking all of the important questions was a great start. Then, I met with Cindy and we discussed what I wanted and budget. She was so respectful of my wishes. The gowns were absolutely STUNNING. Beautiful inside and out. I had been to other places where the inside of the dress was itchy or didn't breathe. Every dress I put on in Caryn's felt smooth and perfect, even on the inside. There was nothing poking me or making me sweat! After trying on several, she learned what I really liked and asked me in private if I would be comfortable going over budget by a little. She said "I have another dress that I know you will love but it is $1385" ($385 greater than I told her my budget was). SO RESPECTFUL. I told her that I would like to try it on. I fell so in love. Then she added the vail. I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world! (And they gave me a discount for buying the vail the same day with the dress deposit). The whole experience was just perfect and Cindy is AMAZING.

Found my perfect dress with Olivia's help!

I loved my experience at Caryn's! It was the first bridal store I visited and Olivia was super knowledgeable about the dresses they had in stock and did a great job understanding what I was looking for. It was such a great first shopping experience. I wanted to shop around, so after visiting a few other stores, I came back with a clearer idea of what I wanted and Olivia helped find the perfect dress for me. Caryn also provided insight into the tailoring we can do to the dress and helped confirm that my vision (changing the straps) was possible. Having access to their in-house alterations team was really reassuring and makes everything so much more streamlined, compared to getting a dress and then worrying about finding a tailor/seamstress.

I also love their website and the ability to see all of the dresses so easily. It felt a lot easier than other sites and helped me come to my appointments more prepared with clearer expectations. Would recommend to everyone!!

Caryn's Bridals does a wonderful job finding "hip" gowns and has a great selection! All of the ladies are very helpful and accommodating. In historic downtown Farmville, it's a fantastic place to come for a day trip and shop for brides who are out of the area. Their store has really changed over the past decade, and they have really kept up with the trends. Their selection of "mothers" dresses [or even second wedding gowns] is unbelievable and they are a great one stop shop for your bridal party!!! We've never had a bride who didn't enjoy their experience there and they appreciate how the girls know them by name!

Excellent staff. A beautiful selection. My experience at Caryn's was wonderful. The staff saw me on short notice and choose beautiful gowns for me to try. My gown is/was exquisite. People are still talking about it. Caryn's also found my mother a dress on very short notice. Everything was perfect for her, right down to her shoes. Kudos, Ladies!
