I had the most incredible experience! As a plus size bride it can be hard to find somewhere that doesn’t just take one look at you and say they can’t help you. This experience was ...
the complete opposite! I felt welcomed and included as soon as I stepped in the door, never made to feel like less just because of my size. They had a large selection of plus size dresses and made the experience feel so comfortable and relaxing! I booked the vip experience and 100% worth the money! I had plenty of space for my bridesmaids and family to be there with me on this once and a lifetime day! Charlotte’s bridal added so many personal touches as well and had me in tears before I even put a dress on. Ayanna was so patient and helped guide me every step of the way! Huge thank you to her and the rest of the team who helped with my unforgettable experience!
Said yes to the dress last weekend and Angelina was the best. She made me feel so special by even looking up my wedding venue before my appointment to try and understand what type ...
of dress I was looking for. It was an amazing experience! Would recommend!
I had the BEST time at Charolette’s Bridal! From the second I walked in, the vibe was fun, relaxed, and honestly… everything you dream of when you picture saying yes to the dress.

Mel was my girl — she absolutely crushed it. She listened, hyped me up, pulled the most gorgeous gowns, and somehow knew exactly what I needed… because I ended up finding my dress at number 7! ✨💍
If you want a bridal appointment that feels magical, fun, and full of good energy, Charolette’s Bridal (and Mel!!) is where you need to go. I’m still on cloud nine! 🥂👰🏼♀️m👰🏻♀️

shed me to try on dresses that were too expensive for me.
I worked with Meagan and she was WONDERFUL! I was feeling disappointed with myself and that I wasn't reacting "correctly" to trying on dresses. But she made sure I felt comfortable and stopped second guessing myself.
Thank you so much to Charlotte's!

bride. I wanted the chance to try on many styles to see what fits and looks best. I wanted: "Classy Smokeshow" and boy did my consultant Molly, deliver!
She was fantastic! She was bride centric! She was just who I needed to make me feel like I could look like a beautiful sexy bride -- even at my age! I can't recommend them enough.
I paid for the VIB Package and the guests got a small mocktail toast and a wonderful private show room. Best $50 I ever spent! :) I highly recommend Charlotte's Bridal.
I had an amazing experience with Katrina! She was very thoughtful and engaging. She listened really well and could read my vibe immediately!

package was absolutely worth it - starting the day with mocktails and having a big private space was great.
Chelsea + Morgan were professional, kind, and patient while I took time to find the perfect dress. When I had "the" moment, the rest of the crew came in to congratulate and happy cry with us. It was truly everything I dreamed, and I'd recommend Charlotte's to anyone!

d been friends with our group for a long time. She listened to my preferences attentively, and it felt like she knew exactly what I was looking for. During my appointment, I tried on several dresses and discussed what I liked and didn't like with Katie. It was like she took all those preferences and magically combined them into one perfect dress. When I put it on, it felt like it was made just for me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I'm overjoyed with the outcome! Katie made the entire experience truly special, and I couldn't be happier with my choice of choosing Charlotte’s Bridal to find my perfect dress.
