About

Congratulations! As you begin the quest for your dress, we invite you to visit Champagne Taste Bridal BEFORE spending thousands on the same designer gowns. By the time shipping costs, alterations and bustling are added to the initial dress cost, your investment can increase your retail gown purchase by 50-75%.

As Maryland's Premiere Designer Bridal Consignment Boutique, we specialize in creating a modern, upscale, customer-oriented and a private shopping experience for price-savvy brides.

Let's Find Your Dream Gown Today

The nature of our boutique is 80% considered “Off-The-Rack” meaning you fall in love with the gown you try on and you get to take that beautiful gown home for LESS than it originally retailed… an amazing deal! However, we do carry 3 Made-To-Order Lines: Rebecca Ingram, Maggie Sottero, & Sottero & Midgley. These lines can be ordered in the closest bridal size and other colorways, however, most of our off-the-rack gowns fit just as beautifully. Overall, whether a brand new gown or off-the-rack, alterations will be required, so definitely don’t let that deter you!

All of our gowns are of a high quality designer name and are in peak condition. We work very hard to find vendors, designers, and styles that we know our brides will love! 99% of the time you would not be able to tell the difference between one of our off-the-rack gowns and a gown that came out of our manufacturers box. We keep our gowns in the best condition!

Our Off-The-Rack gowns can range from $750 – $3,000 (usually fall between $899 – $1,500 — during sample sales we bring out $500 gowns (Typically March/April & November) and can be taken home the same day. Our ordered gowns range from $1,200 – $3,000 (usually fall between $1,299 – $2,500) and usually have a 4 – 7 month waiting period. However, SELECT gowns can be in as soon as 4 weeks!

Cute shop and great service!

Champagne Taste Bridal is a great shop with even better customer service! I honestly may not have purchased my dress if the owner did not show me how amazing it could look with additional off-the-shoulder sleeves. Great experience, great price, and great memories!

Cute Bridal Boutique

This is such a cute Bridal shop! They have so many different dress styles. The dresses are so beautiful! The owners were so helpful in helping me find the style dress I wanted. When I found my dress, I loved everything about it but wasn’t sure on the straps. They were so helpful in suggesting customizations and helping me visualize my perfect dress. They made me feel like a princess in my bridal shopping experience. They made this special moment in my life, even more special and memorable.

The best small town boutique

Had the best experience here! I thought dress shopping would be miserable for me as I was indecisive and did not have a vision. I walked into my appointment with several different styles waiting for me and I ended up purchasing the 3rd dress I tried on!!

Best Boutique Ever!!

Where do I even start?! Hands down one of my favorite companies to work with throughout my wedding process. From the beginning, Sara was super friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable about all things when it came to wedding dresses! Not only that, but she has created a team of vendors from seamstresses to gown preservation companies that were all just as great as her. I was not comfortable trying on dresses as I'm more of a tom boy but she made the experience extremely relaxing, fun and she put me in gowns that got me out of my box. Because of that I tried on a dress that I would have never ever picked out but as soon as I put it on I knew it was the one! Not only did I get my dress from her but she had the perfect accessories to go with my dress from earrings to hair pieces. I am so glad to have found Champagne Taste and Sara and I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Wonderful Experience!

I cannot say enough good things about Sara and Champagne Taste Bridal! She was welcoming to me and the group I brought for my dress shopping. As I tried on different dresses, she listened to everything I said and was able to then find the the one that put it all together in the PERFECT dress! I highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone who wants a relaxed, no pressure experience while finding the dress of your dreams :)

Saved The Day!

Sara is absolutely amazing! I had a dress emergency for a styled shoot wand reached out to her the day before I needed a dress. She was nice enough to leave her boutique open after hours and was in no rush once we arrived. She was incredibly patient and would not let us leave until we found the perfect dress and accessories. Her boutique has an amazing selection and they provide excellence customer service. I would absolutely recommend every bride who is looking for a seamless, stress free, fun dress experience to this boutique!

Stunning Bridal Gowns!

I found Sara’s shop, Champagne Taste Bridal, from WeddingWire and I am SO happy that I did! I felt so beautiful in my Essense of Australia gown! Before my appointment I sent Sara a few designs I liked from her collection of beautiful bridal gowns. Based on these Sara had a few specific dresses set aside for our appointment. Honestly the first dress Sara put me in was THE ONE!! It was as if the dress was made for me specifically! I loved all of Sara’s details in her shop especially the “she said yes to the dress”. She’s so personable and was a delight to work with!! Since I purchased my dress Sara has moved into a larger bridal shop (and had a baby) which is both so beautiful! The shop has SO many amazing gowns to choose from! Definitely go see Sara at Champagne Taste Bridal!!

sarah is beyond amazing!!

absolutely love this cute little shop, Sarah is beyond amazing! she picked out some amazing dresses that fit my body so well with so little details I had given her. she is very informative on things about the dress and she gives honest opinions about how a dress will flatter certain areas, she never pushy on trying to sell you a dress but cares more about how you feel in the dress,I was very pleased to say YES TO THE DRESS on the second dress I tried on there.

Sarah was incredible. She really made me feel like one in a million and I found my dress at the first appointment. She is so good at listening to what you want as the bride. It was a wonderful experience.

Champagne Taste Bridal is wonderful to work with! We used their services for our 2016 Bridal Show at the Resort! They were amazing at writing the scripts for the DJ, communicating back and forth and setting up appointments for the girls to try on their dresses. We even hosted the rehearsal the day prior. Great customer service! We will be using Champagne Taste Bridal again! Thank you! -CBRS Team
