Incredible

The White Room is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Every member of staff makes sure you feel like the most important customer and bride as soon as you walk in. They were able to help me find a dress and even customize it to make it into my dream dress! After alterations, which were also done at The White Room, the dress fit like a glove. I could not recommend The White Room enough.

Flawless Experience

I had the best experience at The White Room! There was a great selection of dresses from different vendors and various styles. Cathy gave me undivided attention during my appointment. I wanted to combine 3 styles from 3 different dresses, and Cathy was very helpful taking custom measurements, advising if the dress would look right, and calling the designer to make sure everything went smoothly. The dress turned out perfect! Carolyn did the alterations in house which also made the process even easier. I have heard nightmares of bride's alteration fiascos... that won't happen at TWR! Such an easy process. I loved my dress!

Beautiful dresses!

The entire team at the White Room made wedding dress shopping so fun and personalized! I found the perfect dress, and they do all their own tailoring in house. My dress fit me perfectly, and it was exactly what I imagined. I highly recommend them!

Best place!

Cathy and Carolyn at the WHITE Room are SAINTS!! They made this whole process so much fun even during a pandemic. They made me feel beautiful and they are so talented. From designing my veil to helping me accessorize and re working my dress, they were flawless. They let me choose exactly when I wanted to do my fittings, which was super helpful. Highly recommend this place!!

Dream Dress Found Here

This will be a long post, but bear with me, because it is worth it!

I always knew I wanted a long sleeve wedding dress. I started following Anne Barge on Instagram months before I was engaged because she is known for her long sleeve gowns. I was browsing through the stories on Instagram and saw a picture of this one certain dress and immediately knew that was my dream dress. Once it was time for me to start trying on wedding dresses, I was living in Nashville and called stores in Nashville and Atlanta and not a single store had the dress or offered to locate it for me to try on. I called The White Room and was greeted with a sweet, southern voice that immediately told me that they could hunt down the dress, have it shipped to their store, and I could come in in two weeks to try it on! Something that simple made me feel so good! They had the dress there for me when I drove down from Nashville. I put it, walked out to show my family members, and we all agreed that it was 'The One.' I didn't try any other dress on! Carolyn did some alterations after a fitting a few months later and come wedding day, it fit like a glove!

Other than marrying my husband, my wedding dress was my favorite part of the wedding day! I seriously could not imagine walking down the aisle in any other dress and I have The White Room Bridal Salon to thank for that!! They are so attentive and offer the best customer service. Their salon is beautiful as well! Don't look anywhere else, because it will not compare to here. :)

Wonderful Experience!

I had a wonderful experience at The White Room! I came in unsure of which dress style I wanted or liked best. Ms. Cathy guided me through the process and knew which dresses would work best for my body shape, our venue, and time of year. She ended up picking out a dress for me to try on that I would never have chosen for myself, and it turned out to be the one! She and her mother are a team that work extremely well together. They are a fun, sweet, and personable duo that are experts at what they do!

Kind and Professional!

I wanted to try on dresses with my family, but I wasn't sure I was ready to buy. Cathy and her team made it such a fun experience, and I left with a dress I loved! Given my timeline, and because I was living in DC and getting married in NC, I needed to take the floor model (which was kept in impeccable condition). Cathy called twice to follow up on how alterations went and make sure my dress would be perfect for my wedding. I can't recommend the White Room enough!

Highly recommend!

What an incredible experience we have had with The White Room, not once, but twice! My mom bought her mother of the bride dress at The White Room for my sisters wedding, and we loved the professionalism and treatment we received from Cathy and Carolyn. When I got engaged, I knew I wanted to go there to try on dresses and ended up buying my wedding gown from there. They made the experience so special and fun! I highly recommend! They are the absolute BEST in every way! And so kind! :)

Amazing, highly recommend

I had an amazing experience here. I had gone to two previous stores before I came here and those two were awful because every time I didn't like a dress it was made known that this frustrated them even though I was polite about it. So I was a bit nervous about going through the process again, but I needed a dress. Cathy was amazing. Her first words were "this is your dress, your day, it will not hurt my feelings in the slightest if you say you do not like the dress. Just say no and we will put it away." She never pressured me to like a dress, listened to my wishes, and found me my perfect dress! It was literally the first dress I tried on that she grabbed for me based off of my specifications. However, I did try on others after that but I already knew that the first dress I put on was the dress. After that they took measurements and ordered my dress! They alter the dress right there in shop and that is an amazing experience as well. They are so kind and made the experience a breeze instead of stressful. I appreciate them so much and they truly were a highlight of my wedding planning experience! So all I have to say is thank you so much and if you are still looking for a dress you will not regret going here!

Amazing Experience, Highly Recommend

I have an exceptional experience at The White Room! Cathy was amazing to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and I trusted her immediately. The first dress I tried on was the winner!! After picking out my dress, I then worked with Carolyn on the alterations. She was wonderful to work with as well. I couldn't have asked for two women who understood my wants and needs more. They were a dream and I'd recommend any bride to go to The White Room!
