The Most Amazing Bridal Boutique!

I had the most amazing experience with Coastal Knot from beginning to end, and I truly cannot recommend them enough! After visiting several other bridal stores before coming here, I was starting to feel discouraged because I hadn’t found anything that felt quite right. From the moment I walked in, they completely understood my vision and pulled dresses that perfectly matched what I had been looking for. The very first dress I tried on was the one I fell in love with, and I ended up buying it!

They also recommended their tailor, Mattea, who is one of their sales associates, and she was absolutely wonderful as well. Mattea was so talented, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the alterations process. She also coordinated directly with Coastal Knot so she could pick up my dress for alterations and drop it back off with them once everything was finished, which made the entire process so convenient and stress-free.

Coastal Knot kept my dress safely for me throughout the process, which gave me so much peace of mind. They also helped me choose the most beautiful veil, and the week of our wedding, they steamed both my dress and veil so everything was perfectly ready for the big day.

Even after the wedding, they continued to take care of me. I was able to drop my dress and veil back off at the boutique, and they coordinated having everything professionally dry cleaned and preserved. I was so grateful that they handled all of those details for me and made the entire process feel completely seamless.

If you are looking for a bridal boutique that genuinely listens to you, understands your vision, and takes care of you from the moment you walk in through after your wedding day, I cannot recommend them enough. They made finding and preparing my wedding dress such a wonderful experience, and I will always be so grateful to them!

Dream Dress

Karen was a wonderful person who made my dress shopping experience worth while! She was patient and kind. She quickly responded if I wanted to try on a different dress than the ones I had in the room. My dress truly made me feel like a princess. This whole experience has just been truly magical.

Beautiful Wedding Dresses!!

I got my dress and veil from the Coastal Knot Bridal Boutique in Raleigh, NC. They have such an amazing selection of dresses and a beautiful store! I was very indecisive and tried on SO many dresses. They were so patient and kind throughout the whole process! Once I got my dress, they were able to store it for me after I got it altered. They steamed and cleaned it for my bridal portraits and my wedding! It was very easy to make an appointment with them for all of those occasions. I 100% recommend dress shopping here!!

Exceptional Customer Service and a Memorable Shopping Experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie and Mattea at Coastal Knot Bridal, and I am beyond thrilled with the exceptional service they provided. Leading up to my appointments, Stephanie asked all the right questions and was extremely informative and helpful. From the moment I arrived, Mattea was so compassionate and handled my situation with such great care. She made the entire shopping experience truly special for me. Throughout our time together she actively listened to my preferences, understood what styles would look flattering on my figure, and expertly guided me through the details of every gown I tried on. As we were in the dressing room I could literally see the wheels spinning in her head as I talked about features I really l liked versus details I didn't really care for. In between, while being able to Facetime with my mom and sister who live out of state, I could see her in the background taking out dresses that she knew would not work for me and bringing in more suitable styles. What stood out the most was Mattea's ability to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I felt comfortable and supported throughout my appointment. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in making sure I found the perfect gown truly set her apart. It's evident that Stephanie, Mattea, and the whole Coastal Knot team are skilled professionals who understand how to create memorable experiences for their guests. I can't thank the team at Coastal Knot Bridal enough for their dedication and excellent customer service in helping me find the perfect gown for the biggest day of my and my fiancé's lives. I cannot wait to see the look on his face when he sees me in my gorgeous wedding gown! I wholeheartedly recommend Mattea at Costal Knot Bridal to any bride searching for their dream wedding gown. Coastal Knot Bridal is so fortunate to have such a fabulous and caring team. Thank you, Stephanie and Mattea, for making this journey so special!

Found the Perfect Dress!

Chasity in Raleigh is Amazing!

I had someone once tell me that you will definitely find a dress at Coastal Knot and that is absolutely true! Chasity listened to a few thoughts I had on the wedding theme and dress shape I was going for and found several dresses that pulled all those thoughts together and introduced me to a new designer I now love. Every dress I tried on made me feel amazing, I ended up getting a Martina Liana gown that I am still obsessed with. The customer service was amazing at Coastal Knot, even accommodating a last minute steam on my dress the day before. I had such a wonderful experience that I can't recommend this bridal boutique enough!

Wonderful!

Coastal knot was great from the day I picked out my dress, to the day I picked it up. The consults are so sweet, they knew the right dress for me before I even stepped foot in the shop. The fit was perfect.

Awesome experience

From my first visit, to having to return for multiple alterations, the girls in Wilmington were amazing. They were so helpful when I had to return for a second set of alterations after the first, even discounting me due to the distance I traveled for my gown and alterations, since we had only thought we needed one appointment. I loved every minute with them!

Love Coastal Knot!!

All the ladies that were in the boutique when I said year to my dress were so friendly! My consultant, Mallie, was able to help me find my perfect dress! I went in thinking I was getting all the lace and sparkles, but Mallie and my sister told me to try on a simple dress- which ended up being the one!! Mallie even helped me pick out my veil and recommend one I didn’t think I would ever wear (but I did!). I highly recommend Coastal Knot!

Beautiful Wedding Gowns and Fantastic Customer Service

I bought my dream Hayley Paige wedding ballgown from the Coastal Knot at their Raleigh location. I chose to go to Coastal Knot specifically because they were the only boutique in Raleigh who carried Hayley Paige gowns. I was not disappointed. I think I tried on every gown they had in the store designed by her. The customer service was top notch. The representative that worked with me was patient and was having just as much fun as I was. She listened to what I said I wanted and brought me several gowns and veils to try on. I spent about 3 hours in the store and purchased the very last gown I tried on. It was absolutely perfect. The Coastal Knot was the first and only place I tried on dresses. They worked with me to get it altered and it fit like a glove. I would highly recommend the Coastal Knot!
