This was the BEST experience ever!

They did an amazing job at making me feel beautiful. They also staying within my budget which was great! I had the best experience! I truly felt like 1,000,000 bucks!!!! McKenzie was the sweet girl who helped me and she was absolutely awesome! I could have tried on 50 more dresses and she would have kept the same attitude…AMAZING! So kind! I will recommend them to everyone!

Bridal Perfection

From the initial phone call, to being greeted with champagne at the door, to all the little moments they made special; this was an amazing experience! Sarah truly listened to what I was asking for and found me the most beautifully perfect dress. With the help of Janet, the owner, and few other consultants in the studio, they essentially built me my dream gown; plucked it right out of my head and made it a reality. I walked in with a friend just looking for an intro to wedding dress shopping, and walked out with my dream gown! Thank you so very much to Janet and Sarah for the most perfect bridal experience!

Great Experience

I was in town from Michigan, visiting my best friend and preparing to ask her to be my maid of honor, and she surprised me by asking if she could take me dress shopping. She said she followed a size-inclusive wedding boutique on Instagram and thought it would be fun. We went and it was the best experience. The ladies were attentive, even turning up the AC when I was sweating to keep me comfortable. I tried on several dresses, really loved one of them, but didn't make a selection while I was there. They offered me a discount and no SC taxes if I shipped the dress to Michigan. A week later, I couldn't stop thinking about one of the dresses. It was available at a local boutique BUT I called back to Charleston, talked to the owner, and ordered from them. Because of the amazing experience, I was compelled to support their business. Thank you!

Incredible Experience Start to Finish

Thank you so much for being the first boutique and first place I ever tried on a wedding dress. There were so many emotions when walking through the door, but Sophia made me feel right at home right away. She was professional, interactive, complimentary, uplifting, bubbly & most of all - a great listener. She truly made my experience a delightful one! Although I did not find my dream dress at your boutique, I definitely had a dream experience so THANK YOU Sophia!

Love at first sight✨

Literally the first dress we grabbed off the rack! Me and my family had such a great time. They served us drinks and the staff was very friendly. I loved the decor and overall atmosphere of the boutique. Everyone was friendly and inviting and every dress I picked up was gorgeous but nothing beat that first dress. Thank you Gown Boutique of Charleston !! 🤍🩵🩶🤍

Amazing ! 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 !

Memorable.

I had the pleasure to meet these awesome ladies, Alexis and Janet, at the Charleston Bridal Show back in July. I was blessed to actually have won a free dress from them. Last Saturday, I found my dream dress. Alexis made it so memorable. Made me feel so comfortable and made me feel so good about myself. She is the most sweetest, best person, I had the pleasure of meeting! I am so grateful to have met these awesome ladies! Through my wedding journey so far, they sure left a lasting memory for me and I will forever be grateful for them! Honored to be a GBC Bride! ❤️

Amazing 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!

They will have THE one

I cannot say enough amazing things about the ladies at Gown Boutique! From the moment we arrived to the very end, everyone was so kind and helpful in what can be a very stressful event. Alexis took so much time to really get to know me as the bride, listen to my specific vision and wishes, and involved my bridesmaids and family in a very fun way! I wasn't expecting to leave with my wedding dress after this appointment but the options GB has to offer is phenomenal and Alexis's knowledge of the various gown options truly made this day that much more stress free. Alexis listened to my likes/ dislikes of the dresses we tried on, provided me with other options that fit my vision when I would comment on specific qualities of gowns and made it come to life. She made me feel like the most beautiful, confident bride who was ready to walk down the aisle to the love of my life. I couldn't have imagined this moment any more perfect than it already was and it was all thanks to Gown Boutique and Alexis! Thank you all for everything you do.
