Bridals by Jodi

When I first arrived at Bridals by Jodi, I was greeted and taken to a spot to sit with my guests who came to help me gown shop. After sitting for a few minutes my consultant came over and told me that I was to just go around and pick any dresses that I would like to try on. Not once, did she ask me what style I was interested in or offer any assistance in trying to pick something for me. My mother and I grabbed a few gowns and put them in the dressing room. The consultant stood outside and told me to put the dress on, and to let her know if I needed any help. I then would come out to display myself and the gown, and the consultant just stood there not offering any advice or opinions. The gowns were pretty, but some of the gowns were in rough shape and I didn't feel like a bride while shopping here. It felt as though I was helping myself try on some nice white dresses.

They made my experience amazing! I went in with an idea of what I wanted, but they knew what I wanted before I did. They were great for my bridal and bridesmaid needs. Would recommend them!

Beautiful dressed and great staff.

Wow!! Bridals by Jodi exceeded all of my expectations. These ladies were truly invested from the first call, and made sure every visit I had was the best. I encourage every bride to go to Bridals by Jodi.

I thought I knew exactly the type of dress I wanted. Bridals by Jodi was the second salon I went to that day, and I was feeling overwhelmed. The stylist was so patient and calming, not adding any pressure to choose or buy the same day. The salon is small but highly organized with a wide range of options. I ended up going back the next day and bought the dress of my dreams. The whole process was a breeze: fitting, delivery, alterations, pick up. I just can't say enough wonderful things about them. My dress was exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly. It was everything I dreamed of. I HIGHLY recommend going to Bridals by Jodi!

I loved everything about my whole wedding dress buying experience here. The staff was amazing and remembered details about me every time I came in, I felt so comfortable from the dress shopping, to the fitting, right up to when I picked up my dress. It was the first dress I tried on at the first place I looked for a dress and I am beyond happy I went there. Thank you bridals by Jodi!!!

The staff at Bridals by Jodi were extremely helpful and nice to work with throughout the engagement. Beautiful dress and excellent staff.

Victoria was wonderful! I dropped by on vacation without an appointment (after getting engaged in December I was finally back in Charleston: I had eyed this boutique for years!)! I tried on several gowns with my mom with me, and Victoria was so accommodating and kind! Thank you! (Cute boutique and good selection and pricing, too!!!) <3

My dress! Every. Single. Guest. commented on my dress!! Rachel is fantastic. I had a vision for the dress that I thought I liked, she kindly asked me to try another style that she liked for me and it was perfect. I trusted her judgement and I am sure glad I did. The dress fit me perfectly and photographed like a dream. She gave advice for the dress and for the day and I couldn't have been more happy (nor could my mother and she is hard to please!). Wonderful!!

I got my dress from Bridals by Jodi in November 2017 for my October 2018 Wedding. For starters: the process was super smooth. My consultant gave me her full attention, was super honest and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. I felt that she made the experience personal to my unique needs and I was very pleased with the experience. I found the dress of my dreams. Fast forward to about 6 months later, I was waiting to hear if my dress had come in, having not heard anything yet, I gave the shop a call. Due to an oversight, they had missed the opportunity to call me to let me know my dress had arrived but they were very upfront and apologized for the mistake, offered to ship it to my home for free (I had since moved from Charleston), and even offered a very generous discount on the beautiful veil I had tried on with my gown. The management was quick to rectify their mistake without my asking, and I think that that makes them unique and helpful. We're all human and we all make mistakes, but the personable experience I had with Bridal's by Jodi, as well as their apt management of an oversight is what would make me choose them all over again and recommend them to any bride in the Charleston area. Also, their collection is beautiful and I was able to find a gorgeous gown in my fairly modest budget, but they definitely have higher end gowns as well, a wide range of options for a variety of budgets. They also offer discounts for purchasing the day-of your first visit so be ready to give serious consideration to purchasing your gown that day! I highly recommend Bridals by Jodi!

Had beautiful dresses and all of the staff were very helpful.

I loved the atmosphere and staff at Bridals by Jodi. They helped me find my dream dress and offered 10% for purchasing that day. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because their alternations contact; the Stitch Witch, was a nightmare to work with. I recommend the salon but finding other alternations.

I would HIGHLY recommend Bridals by Jodi! They made an excellent first impression my first day trying on wedding dresses. After stepping foot into other bridal salons I knew right away that I would be back to Bridals by Jodi to say yes to the dress. Their staff is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about the different wedding dress designers. My entire experience with them was flawless starting with the ordering of my dress, to alternations, to steaming and having my dress ready for my wedding day. I cannot say enough positive things about Bridals by Jodi.

Bridals by Jodi was amazing!!!! They helped me find the perfect dress, then made sure it was always steamed and ready when I needed it. All the girls there are so sweet, and they were genuinely so excited and happy for me!! The alterations were done by their seamstress who did a quick and fantastic job. I could not be more happy with the service and dress that I got from Bridals by Jodi!

Bridals by Jodi was the first and only bridal shop I went to to look for me wedding dress! I waited for my family to get into town before going to try any wedding dresses on. I was not expecting to find something so quickly! Within the first ten dresses I tried on, I said yes! Rachel was absolutely fabulous! She was so easy to work with and a lot of fun! Overall, everything about Bridals by Jodi from the environment, the staff, and the great prices made wedding dress shopping such a great experience!

I had the best time trying on dresses at Bridals by Jodi! There were so many selections of beautiful dresses and so many different styles to choose from! All the girls were SUPER helpful and so sweet at each fitting! The dress I found was absolutely PERFECT! You will not go wrong checking them out!

All of the girls, especially Rachel, in Bridals by Jodi are absolutely phenomenal! I traveled almost two hours to buy and get alterations to my dress for months with 0 complaints because this bridal shop makes it worth it. Throughout the chaos of wedding planning, the ladies truly make it an enjoyable experience. Their dress selection is amazing; their alterations are impeccable. We completely transformed the dress I bought. I am so thankful I found myself here. I cannot recommend enough.

I purchased my dress off the rack at Jodi's & the service was fantastic. I also worked with their recommended alterations place (deserving of a separate review). For several various questions, I ended up getting different answers from the employees at Jodi's than what the alterations place was telling me, so I ended up taking Jodi's out of the mix & dealt w/ the alterations place only.

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, and the selection was beautiful! It was my first and only stop to finding a dress!

This review is so late but I love love loved working with Bridals by Jodi! I walked in, a couple days after getting engaged, completely overwhelmed by the whole wedding process and just wanting to take in wedding dresses in general to see if I knew what I would want. I met Rachel who asked if I wanted to try any on, which surprised me because I didn’t even have an appointment. She was so sweet and helpful, helping someone so clueless and I trusted her to find the dresses. I tried on two dresses that day and one of them made me cry. I went back a month later with my mom and bridesmaid and she snuck those two dresses into the try on pile again. I ended up getting that very first dress that made me cry and couldn’t have been happier. I still get compliments on my dress months later when people see pictures of it because it was so unique and I wish I could wear it all the time!! All of her recommendations in terms of shoes, hairpiece, belt, etc were so helpful and spot on and the seamstress they work with did wonderful alterations. They steamed my dress and had it ready for the wedding and did a wonderful job cleaning and preserving it!

I loved my experience at Bridals by Jodi! I had such a great shopping experience and found my dream dress. Rachel and Betsy were great to work with!

Betsy is great! Not only with helping you find a dress but also helping with wedding tips in general! Very knowledgable people and large selection of dresses! P.S. This salon doesn't have a liquor license so don't go expecting to drink champagne while you try on dresses.

i had the most amazing time with hailey . thank yall so much for helping m find my dress

Customer service is over the top! I ordered a dress during tax free weekend and the Mori Lee trunk show. I bought a dress and the matching veil and detachable train. Couple months later, I realized the train had to purchased separately. I was already crunched on time, so having to order train, I was scared it wasn't going to be here in time for my bridal portraits. Jodi's made sure it came in no later than a week after my dress and they even ordered the train for me at no extra charge because they did not catch the mistake earlier. They truly wanted to be sure that I had what I wanted!! Can't thank them enough.

I got married Memorial Day weekend and started looking for a wedding gown Summer 2016. One of my Bridesmaids suggested I attend the Morilee trunk show at Bridals by Jodi and coincidentally it was tax free weekend; win-win! My MOH and I made an appointment and I must have tried on about 7 dresses. I fell in love with a gorgeous, ivory MoriLee gown and also purchased a belt and veil. One thing I really liked about BBJ is that they didn’t try and pressure me into purchasing my Bridesmaids dresses there. I had asked about alternatives to David’s Bridal, but once I explained that my 7 Bridesmaids are scattered across 5 states and 2 continents, they agreed DB is the better and more convenient choice for us. That way every Bridesmaid has a chance to try on their dress and order it locally. I loved that! All about what’s best for the customer and not just about sales. It took about 5 months for my dress to come in and due to my hard work in the gym I had lost 18 lbs and 2 dress sizes. The ladies at Bridals by Jodi reassured me they have the best seamstress and Nadia absolutely lived up to her reputation. She took my final measurements about 6 weeks before my wedding and you couldn't even tell the dress was ever touched and it fit like a glove. Perfection! Our wedding was featured on Southern Bride’s Real Weddings and I am so excited for our vendors. They truly deserve it!

We used Bridals by Jodi for our Bridesmaid dresses and had a great experience!

everyone was wonderful. the dress i found had the perfect back but i hated the front and Nadia saw my vision and altered the front and made my dress perfect. Everyone was so lovely every time I had a fitting. I highly recommend them!

After trying on dresses at a few salons in Raleigh and Charleston, Bridals by Jodi was my last stop, and I wish it had been my first. For my style and budget they had so many dresses that I would have loved to wear for my wedding! After going places where I only found one dress, that I kind of liked (but you only need one!), I was so delighted and relieved to have so many good options. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive, but never pushy. After I picked my dream dress, we went back and they helped pick the perfect color and style of bridesmaids dress for my girls! I had a slight challenge with the first seamstress I was paired with through their shop (we had different visions for the alterations of the dress), I contacted the store, they totally understood, and took care of everything to switch me to work with a different seamstress. I would recommend Nadia for alterations, she was very friendly, listened to what I wanted, and did a fantastic job. I recommend Bridals by Jodi to everyone I know!

Betsy and Rachel at Bridals by Jodi were such a pleasure to work with while both finding and fitting my wedding dress. Their shop was very busy during one of my bridal appointments back when I was searching for "the" dress, and Betsy offered me a 10% off coupon for me and my bridesmaids (even though it wasn't my first visit to the shop) for being so patient. When my scheduled seamstress fell ill on the day of my first dress fitting, which my mom had flown down for, Betsy and Jodi were able to fit me into the schedule of their other seamstress (Nadya) who was working over at their sister shop White on Daniel Island that same evening. I am very happy to have found Bridals by Jodi. Betsy and Rachel were both extremely excited for me throughout the process, offered a lot of much-needed opinions and support when it came to fittings, hair, veil, jewelry etc. in helping me to envision myself on my wedding day. I highly recommend this shop!

Rachel is amazing! Go see her!! I found my dress here and it is PERFECT!!!!! I cannot wait to wear it

I LOVED Bridals by Jodi! They have a great selection and their ladies are amazing. Betsy was my point of contact and she was fabulous. She helped me find the dress of my dreams, and gave me honest opinions to go along with my bridesmaids,. A few months later when we went bridesmaid shopping, she had pulled out a sample of my wedding dress so we could visualize my dress next to the bridesmaid dresses. This made the process so much easier! All of the ladies at BBJ made me feel comfortable every visit, and even when my appointment was pushed back, they went above and beyond to put me at ease. I got married a week after Hurricane Matthew and Betsy called me to let me know their process of protecting the gowns, but also giving me the option to come get it before the expected arrival of the hurricane. I thought this was very sweet, as I was all over the place trying to check things off the list as we were evacuating and the dress was not on it! Everyone was very polite and friendly not only to myself, but the 5 other bridesmaids who ordered their dresses from them. Would highly recommend!

Amazing shop and service designed to help Brides of any budget. The store was clean, quaint, and the fitting rooms are very spacious. The staff are so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I tried on several dresses I really liked, but I walked out of the store that day with the dress I simply loved. Super fun experience! I can't wait for my wedding day so I can put my dress on again!!

Bridals By Jodi and Betsy were such a pleasure to work with throughout every stage from our first appointment to when I picked up my dress. Betsy thought outside the box and was able to make my vision for "the perfect wedding dress" a reality! Nadia altered my dress so it fit perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised that on our first appointment, my sister (MOH), mom and I all were able to find dresses! Thank you for your attention to detail and guidance thru the whole process!

I have nothing but great things to say about bridals by Jodi! They helped me find my dream dress out of hundreds! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only problem was that I couldn't wear my dress longer.

I loved Bridals by Jodi! They were so so sweet working with me and my bridesmaids. I walked in already a mess thinking I would look awful but Haley encouraged me and showed me that there was a dress for me. They worked so hard for me since my wedding was 4 months away. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and I HIGHLY recommend Bridals by Jodi to anyone who wants a GREAT experience!

Bridals by Jodi was the perfect bridal shop for me. It was the perfect balance of nice quality beautiful dresses and still down to earth prices without the snobby pushiness I experienced at fancy bridal shops. They were professional and in touch whenever I needed them and were prompt to respond with questions without being pushy.

The most helpful and the sweetest ladies to work with! They took such great care with us. Making sure I not only found an amazing dress, but that I found THE dress.

I had a specific dress in mind for my wedding. No other salon had this dress, but Bridals by Jodi had it featured in one of their trunk shows. I had to custom order the dress and the process was super easy. They did everything and kept me informed of when it was ordered to when it came in. The staff there are absolutely wonderful. They are personable, friendly, and want every bride, bridesmaid, or mother of the bride to have the best experience possible. I also got my bridesmaid dresses from them. Even though I had a little hesitation about the color of the dresses when they came in, they were perfect. They also have a seamstress that works with them so that took some of the stress off of me to find a seamstress for my dress alterations. I would recommend this bridal salon to anyone looking for a wedding, bridesmaid, flower girl, or mother of the bride dress.

Bridals By Jodi is a fantastic place to go for your perfect dress! The staff are so helpful and are there for you the entire way. I didn't feel rushed or pushed to purchase if I wasn't 100% sure. I did find my dream dress at BBJ and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!! I highly recommend!

Brittani was great!! So helpful in finding the perfect dress at my budget!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Bridals by Jodi. Betsy was my main contact throughout the process and she was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable at all of my fittings! They recently moved into a beautiful new space in West Ashley, and I would highly recommend any bride trying here first. The prices are also more affordable than some other places I checked out, but I still got a designer dress that was gorgeous. Thanks Bridals by Jodi!

The staff at Bridals by Jodi were so helpful. I am really indecisive, and they helped me to find the perfect dress for me. I came into the shop during my trip to Charleston to find a venue. They helped me find a dress and get measured for alterations- all on the same day! They shipped my dress to me 3 months later, and it fit perfectly! They were so helpful to show us how to bustle the dress on the week of my wedding too. I highly recommend this boutique for their exceptional customer service!

I really enjoyed my experience here. This was the first of two bridal shops I went to try on dresses and this was where I ended up buying my dress. They were patient and very helpful in finding what I want and helping me to rationalize my choices. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on, but only after trying on countless others at this shop and at David's Bridal. The staff here were phenomenal. They remembered me every time I came in the store. The seamstress that altered my dress did a very good job and the alterations were not as expensive as I had anticipated they would be. My dress was amazing! It was really comfortable and didn't require any type of restricting or uncomfortable undergarments. I can't wait to wear my dress again to take my bridal portraits! I highly recommend Bridals by Jodi!

I visited a number of wedding dress shops in the Charleston area and Bridal by Jodi was the easiest to work with for the cost. There are others in the area that serve champagne but the cost of the dresses in those stores start upwards of $2500 which was more than I wanted to spend. The dress I found here was actually my absolute favorite even considering those in much more expensive stores. The staff is very friendly and helpful beyond many of the others in the Charleston area.

So to start with I had serious second thoughts about my dress after purchasing it. If I had to do over I would have picked a different dress but this is not their fault and that is my own issue. Bridals by Jodi and the whole staff there, including the seamstress they use for alterations were WONDERFUL. They were completely accommodating and helpful and they assisted me in figuring out how to alter the dress to get it to the specifications that I wanted. They were super friendly and went out of their way to help. I definitely recommend them. My only complaint is that is was hot in the store every time I went for a fitting and trying on a heavy wedding dress in a hot room is no fun.

I came to Bridals by Jodi after already being at 2 different places and trying on about 30 different dresses. The employees were so helpful and understanding and really helped me find my vision of what I wanted for my big day! Betsy made me feel so special and was there throughout all the experiences I had and I felt like we were friends at the end of the day! I would recommend this location to any woman getting married!

I found my wedding dress off the rack at Bridals by Jodi and they were great at helping to have it altered to fit me perfectly and were so informative throughout the process. This shop is not overwhelming and the staff really make you feel comfortable!

I found my dream dress all thanks to the girls at Bridals by Jodi. They were so helpful and kind. I shopped at a few other stores first and was treated poorly by the staff. The girls at Bridals by Jodi never made me feel pressured to spend more than I was comfortable with. My dress came out perfectly! I even had a bit of a bridal moment the week of my wedding where I panicked about my alterations and they were there to help ease my nerves and let me come in for a second final fitting. They were the best!

After looking at a few places, found an absolutely beautiful dress here that all of my girls loved!

The store has great dresses, but even better service. Betsy was so great to work with.

We found Bridals by Jodi to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, and considerate. They greeted us as soon as we came through the door, and didn't try to oversell us on their products. They came through with the right dress at the right time. They always remembered who my daughter was whenever she walked up to the shop. They have a nice-sized inventory of dresses that are of excellent quality. As a seamstress myself, I am picky about the construction and the fabrics of dresses and found the selection to be quite satisfactory. They steamed the dress and prepared it well for the ceremony. We just had to unzip the bag and put it on - no other steaming or repairs needed. Their alterations people were fabulous. Thanks, Bridals by Jodi!

Betsy was so attentive and listened to my thoughts. She was patient and made me feel so special! I would definitely recommend this shop!

Very easy and fun experience for my mom and I. The girls at Bridals by Jodi were very professional and made me feel great. Alterations were really easy. Loved them.

The ladies at Bridals by Jodi are fabulous! Very helpful and accommodating. It's a very open feeling... They worked with the seamstress to get the special detail I wanted on my dress. Beautiful gowns at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend!

Oh my gosh!!! My dress was everything I ever wanted. The ladies are helpful and very sweet. The alterations made my dress fit perfectly. Definitely go try on dresses at Jodi's.
