I said yes to the dress here at Charlotte's!! My best friend and matron of honor found her dress here a few years ago for her wedding and so I knew I wanted to visit Charlotte's for my dress shopping as well. This was not the first dress shop I went to, so I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted in my dress by the time I came here.
Hannah was my consultant, and she was absolutely amazing! She reached out to me before my appointment to introduce herself, get to know me, and get ideas on what I was looking for in my wedding dress. Upon arriving she greeted us and was so warm and welcoming. She ran us through the details of the appointment and already had a few dresses pulled for me. The first dress she put me in was THE ONE! I was struggling to find the perfect combo of details I wanted, and she nailed it. I tried on a few other options she had pulled just to be sure but the first dress she picked was perfect. I felt like Hannah really understood what I wanted, and she felt like a good friend even though it was the first time we met.
When I came back to pick up my dress (a month earlier than originally anticipated woot woot!) Hannah was there for my appointment to make sure the actual dress was as expected and helped guide me on accessories. I briefly explained the veil style I was thinking and of course she saw the vision and pulled beautiful options for me.
The whole team here is great, very knowledgeable, they have a great variety of dresses for styles and price ranges. The shop itself is bright, clean, and cute! I highly recommend Charlotte's for your wedding dress shopping.

Hannah was the stylist that helped pick out my dream wedding dress. Before the appointment, Hannah set aside time to call me over zoom, and we managed to connect with my hectic schedule! She was so patient with me, and once we talked, she immediately helped me feel at ease because I was a little nervous about finding something I loved. I did let her know that I had bought a dress at anthropologie's sample gown sale, however did not have a bridal experience, and she invited me to bring it to the shop, which I thought was incredibly kind and above and beyond customer service considering it was from another business! During the call, she also walked through where I was in the dress buying process, what to expect at the appointment, and styles/items I was drawn to. By the end of the call and afterwards I was so excited for the dress try-on weekend. At the appointment, Hannah immediately helped my group get comfortable by being like an old friend, and she sat on the bridal round to sit and chat with us for awhile. We talked about how the appointments for the weekend had gone, if I had honed in on things more, and offered refreshments. She suggested that she would bring a couple dresses in that she had in mind, but I was so enamored with the dresses in the shop, I wanted to walk around a little bit and she was so nice to let me! When we went out there, she asked if I wanted to see the one that she had thought of after our call, to which I said yes and it was so pretty. After she had brought back refreshments, we went to the dressing room and she asked me which one I wanted to try on first, and I picked the one she thought would be my fave. Well, it ended up being the one. Hannah was such an incredible support throughout the process - helped make it feel snug even though it did not fit so I could visualize more of how it would look on me, listened to my concerns, and helped give my group a heads up on the things that I knew they would ask about. Hannah was a great listener and communicator, had such a bubbly personality, and truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you to Hannah for making such a different in this experience!

Sadie was amazing and so kind. I had a dress appointment at another boutique prior to my appointment at Charlotte’s. That previous appointment went horribly and I was in a fragile place. Sadie was so sweet and understanding. She met me where I was and let me take charge of the appointment. The very first dress I tried on ended up being the ‘one’. On top of that, my vision for my dress meant adding some customized pieces to the dress - Sadie creatively added pieces and accessories to the dress to help me see that vision.
Finally, I grew up in this area. Since I was little, I dreamed of going to Charlotte’s for my wedding dress and I’m so pleased that came true.

I was working with Haley and she was amazing and so kind! I feel like she really understood what I was looking for, and took my dress shopping experience to the next level. Going as far as to make sure that the dress didn’t only feel like me, but made me feel like how I want to feel on my wedding day. Anything from grown up, elegant, princess, sexy, glowy, and sparkly! I highly recommended you try Charlotte’s, especially if you are looking for something unique and within a reasonable budget.

I said yes to my dress at Charlotte's! While I now live in and am getting married in California, I'd visited Charlotte's when my sister was dress shopping a few years ago and wanted to return when it was my time (plus, most of my friends and family live in Oregon). Jade was my stylist, and she was amazing at her job! Very personable, and she did a great job choosing dresses based on what I vibed with. They have such a fun selection of dresses at the shop, and the staff are all so sweet. There's a really welcoming vibe. Definitely recommend!

I had an incredibly fun, memorable, and magical experience at Charlotte’s Wedding! I think the biggest impact is because of my stylist Briana. From our very first phone call, Briana made a fantastic impression. She took the time to get to know me as a bride, guiding me through what to expect at the appointment and asking about my vision for the dress and how I wanted it to feel. During the appointment, she helped me narrow down my options, worked within my budget, and the second dress I tried on was the one! I highly recommend Charlotte’s Wedding for finding your perfect wedding dress!

I came in to Charlotte's ready to cry as my mom had recently passed and the thought of going through the dress process without her was going to be really hard. The moment I met my stylist, Hannah, I instantly felt her warmth and she made the day soley about finding the dress that makes me feel everything I want to feel. She was able to bring me the perfect gown that I didn't even know I wanted and I felt so beautiful and happy - exactly as I should. I highly recommend Charlotte's Weddings and Hannah!!

I had the most amazing experience at Charlotte's! I had never tried on a formal gown before and was very nervous about the process, but my stylist Hannah was absolutely amazing! She helped calm my nerves and listened to what I was looking for in a dress and pulled a few I would have never thought of trying. After I found my dress, she pulled the most perfect veil to help complete the look, even though I had sworn I wasn't going to wear a veil, it was just too perfect. I can't recommend Charlotte's and Hannah enough. Me and my family/bridal party had a wonderful time, and I would send anyone who is getting married to them!

I had such an amazing experience buying my gown at Charlotte’s. My stylist, Briana, was so knowledgeable and really took the time to understand what I wanted and how I wanted to feel. Every gown she pulled for me was amazingly beautiful, and she really asked amazing questions to help me find what I truly wanted. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I am so glad I decided to work with them! Would definitely recommend them to any bride!

I had Hannah as my stylist and can't recommend her and Charlotte's enough. I came in with what I thought was a broad idea of what I did and didn't like based on previously trying one other store and somehow Hannah knew right away exactly what I wanted. She brought in 3 dresses and with the first on I tried I immediately had the "I'm a bride, this is my dress," moment. We tried on the rest and she even went to find me some that were more out of my idea of what I wanted just to see, then gave me the whole bridal experience (veil and fake flowers) so I could see the whole look come together with my dream dress. She was so easy to talk to and the whole team there really made me feel like they were rooting for me/excited about my whole bridal experience. As someone who hasn't been making a huge deal out of getting married since I'm eloping and saving a reception for down the line, having this experience at Charlotte's really helped me feel excited for my elopement and embrace being a bride.

I came to the salon with a specific dress in mind. I showed my stylist a picture and she got me several dresses she thought I liked, but didn't have that dress available in my size. She worked with a creative solution to "franken-dress" me, so that we could conceptualize the vision! She found a skin-tight dress with the same top, then had me wear a second dress at the same time so I could see the size of the ballgown. I thought the situation was very funny, and loved what we were able to come up with. When my dress arrived (in one piece), I loved it. Again, my stylists worked with me to find and figure out what accessories would work for me, without being too pushy. (I didn't end up purchasing accessories there, but appreciated the help and options they had anyway!) As a plus size bride, I was so nervous that my experience would be awkward or inaccessible because of my size, but the staff at Charlottes really made me feel comfortable and beautiful.

Hannah was the stylist for my daughter. She was warm, friendly and took the time to get to know what my daughter wanted.

I had no idea really what to expect going into this experience. Obviously you watch shows like SYTHD and you want that breathtaking moment where the dress hits you and you start crying. I thought that was all TV drama until it actually happened to me.
Stephanie was amazing. She pulled a dress from their private collection that was a designer I hadn't thought of at all and it was the dress that made me feel all of the feelings. I cried like the TV shows and my girls all said it was the dress. It was so seamless of an experience, it was easy to find the perfect veil for me and Stephanie walked me through every step of the way.
I'm very grateful for the experience I had here, would recommend to just about anyone looking for their wedding dress.

I booked my appointment at Charlotte's and was paired with Brianna who was absolutely amazing! I sent in all of my inspo dresses and she pulled all of the perfect dresses that fit my vision. The first dress she had me try on ended up being the one I said yes to! After trying on multiple dresses after it, I tried it on again at the end and knew it was the one. Throughout my visit Brianna was extremely nice and supportive to both my guests and myself. I never felt rushed or judged like I did at other shops I had visited. I recommend booking an appointment at Charlotte’s and requesting Brianna if you can!

I had the best experience at Charlotte's getting my dress, and then a month later going back to get my veil! Briana was so helpful and cheery and was lucky to have her as my consult for both appointments! (thank you Briana! :)
I had been to about 8 other salons before traveling from Seattle to visit Charlotte's (I was looking to try on a few specific dresses). They have such a great collection and the store is large and beautiful. Everyone gets their own private room and natural light fills the entire studio. The staff was very kind and all the dresses are reasonably priced and beautiful. They have a big website and are very transparent. 10/10 would recommend to friends (and I already have).

I visited Charlotte's after wedding dress shopping in New York, since I had tried on a lot of dresses but couldn't pin down what I wanted. Stephanie was amazing at helping me figure out which styles I liked best and eventually we narrowed it down to two dresses. At my second appointment, Stephanie and Jade were both so lovely and patient as I rode out my indecision between the final two dresses - and finally found a winner! In the end, I went to six different wedding dress appointments between Portland, New York, and Boston, and Charlotte's was my favorite by far.

After leaving previous shops in tears and ready to throw in the towel, Stephanie made me feel like a princess and found me the PERFECT dress!

My experience at Charlotte's was so fantastic! Had a wonderful time working with Abby who helped me find my dream dress. After going to a couple other places first, Abby pulled a great variety of dresses that I hadn't seen anywhere else which made me more confident in saying yes. I especially liked that you try on the dresses in a room separated from your group so you can take a minute to form your own opinion and chat with your stylist before getting other people's opinions involved. Once my dress arrived (earlier than expected!), Abby also helped me choose the perfect accessories to match. The whole team was kind, welcoming, and supportive both times I was there!

I had a lot of apprehension going into my appointment, and before I even arrived my stylist, Stephanie reached out to me by phone. She set my mind at ease and was so professional that most of my worries went away. The next day, I arrived for my appointment and the process was seamless. Stephanie verified the type of dress I was envisioning and, most importantly, she focused in on how I wanted to feel. Then, she pulled some dresses, all within budget. I knew she had heard me, because just over an hour after walking into the shop and only 6 dresses later, I was in THE dress. I was amazed at everything about Charlotte’s - the selection, the cleanliness of the shop, the professionalism, the kindness of each stylist I met, the understanding of what was wanted weighed with body type, and the genuine attention that was paid to what I wanted. I highly recommend Charlotte’s, and especially Stephanie if you are looking for your dress and to truly be heard so you can feel confident on your wedding day.

Stephanie was my stylist and hands down the BEST stylist any bride can have!! I was not expecting to find my dress at my appointment but she and everyone at Charlotte’s went above and beyond for my dress! I am forever grateful for Stephanie and her crew. I literally have my DREAM wedding dress. Stephanie is highly recommended and I wouldn’t recommend anyone or any place more! Beyond grateful! ♥️

The Wedding Dress experience you dream of! My mom and friends and I got to know the lovely Hannah at Charlotte's weddings and she made the whole experience so memorable and wonderful. She had me crying before I even tried on a dress just by asking me about my wedding, how I wanted to feel that day and what I wanted my guests to feel while celebrating with my to be husband and I. Hannah asked not just about what kind of dress I wanted (she did ask this too though) but more importantly she focused on wanting to know how I wanted to feel in my dress and to make sure we found a dress that made me feel those feelings. Hannah brought me lovely dresses but it wasn't until she asked if I was open to some other styles and she pulled out the first on that she had a feeling might be the one to make ME feel like a bride and sure enough she barely got it on before I burst into tears. I felt like me as a bride and I instantly fell in love with the dress. Hannah is also very creative and was able to find ways to use accessories to make the dress totally unique to me and exactly what I wanted. We did try a few other places just to make sure it was the dress and we could not get back to Charlotte's fast enough! I was back only a few short hours later to say yes to my dress. Also- I am getting married and live in the UK and they were even able to work with my living abroad, and a short engagement time-line. Truly these ladies are amazing and know what they are doing!

My appointment with Briana was amazing! She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable! It was my first ever time trying on dresses and she made it so easy and I ended up choosing the very first dress that she picked out for me! While I did have to try on many more due to my indecisive nature she was so helpeful and it was a great experience!

She knew the vibe I was going for in my dress and only grabbed a select few as to not make my decision difficult. All the dresses were beautiful!

My wedding dress shopping experience was very short lived as I fell in love with the absolute first dress I tried on. I had a consult with Stephanie a few days before my appointment and shared my dreams. I felt like she really heard me which made me feel confident saying yes to the dress immediately. I would absolutely recommend Charlotte’s to any bride; such a great experience!

Throughout all the emotions she was so kind and understanding and I loved being able to have a one on one experience to find my dream gown! Needless to say Stephanie knows what she’s doing I found my gown with the second one I tried on!! Charlotte’s is definitely the wedding gown shop for you if you’re looking for a personalized experience with many options and overall sweet staff!

Our experience with Stephanie was fantastic! She called ahead of the appointment to get a feel for what I was looking for, and we had such a great chat. On the day of, she confirmed our conversation points, checked in about my budget, and then picked out 5 beautiful dresses for me to try.
As a queer, plus-sized woman, I was really nervous about trying on dresses. Stephanie made it all so fun and easy. I was able to try on samples in my size (24), and she talked me through possible alterations for each one (sleeves, pockets, hemline). I wasn't planning to buy a dress that day, but she found the perfect one (also well within my budget!). Stephanie really listened and took the time to find exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!!

My experience at Charlotte’s with Stephanie was amazing! As soon as I got on the phone with her to chat before my appointment, I knew she was going to do everything to make this the perfect day. She’s the perfect hype gal and continued to build me up in a way that wasn’t overbearing and truly felt genuine. I wanted to try on a few different dress styles, but had one dress in particular that I wanted to try. I had seen it at their open house and was obsessed. Stephanie helped me navigate the different styles while building up the excitement for that last dress (which ended up being the one). We also did the appointment upgrade which was super nice. Everything felt so comfortable and it really was a great setting to say yes to the dress. Stephanie is literal sunshine, I will forever recommend working with her!

After hearing from a friend that it took her 10 months to receive her wedding dress, I panic-made a reservation at Charlotte's about 24 hours in advance and 12 months before my date. They called me back 15 minutes after requesting a reservation, and were so accommodating of me and my 4 guests. I came in having a strong idea of what kind of dress I wanted, but after trying on the dress that I THOUGHT I wanted and not feeling the magic, Stephanie found me a dress that made me feel like a princess, especially when she added on the veil. I couldn't be happier with my dress (it is unlike any dress I had seen before) and the price was much lower than I had anticipated! So happy I worked with Stephanie and Charlotte's, and the good news is they'll have my dress in 5 months, giving me plenty of time to get it altered. Charlotte's also provides recommendations for seamstresses too, so finding a dress with them reduced so much of my stress.

I had looked multiple other places before coming to charlottes for my perfect dress. By the time I got to charlottes I was so overwhelmed and felt like I was back at square one not knowing what I liked it wanted!
I was excited to sit down and have someone else pick dresses for me based on what I had been describing!
Stephanie was my stylist and SHE. GOT. ME. She stayed within my budget and gave me options without overwhelming me. I picked a dress I never would have selected off the rack for myself but was so comfortable and happy in that was not at all what I was expecting to like.
My time at charlottes was personal and professional and I would highly recommend charlottes to any other brides out there.
Can’t wait to receive my dress and wear it on our big day!

Working with Hannah was a dream. She was so friendly, patient and understanding. she took the time to actually sit down and talk to me about what WE wanted at our wedding (my fiancé and i) she wanted to know how I wanted to look and feel, and price point. She stayed rock solid and respected every one of those points the whole way through. I told her that I was concerned after a previous appointment elsewhere that I couldn't pull off a form fitting dress, but boy did she prove me wrong! I am so happy to say that I found my dress at Charlottes. She was so patient while I figured out logistics and didn't pressure me into another appointment, or a dress that I didn't love. I will 100 percent recommend Charlottes and especially Hannah to any friends getting married. Thank you!

I had the most wonderful experience working with Stephanie at Charlotte's Weddings. She is the kindest, most welcoming person and right away I knew that she understood what I was looking for. She took the time to speak to me prior to the appointment, got to know my family and maid of honor while we were there, and understood my ideal style from my inspiration photos. I would recommend to anyone to go wedding dress shopping with Stephanie as your guide! She made the process so simple and helped me listen to my gut. We also figured out how to customize my dress to make it perfect for me. Thank you so much for making me feel calm, happy, and confident while shopping for my dress!

I researched to find the best store for a plus-sized bride. There were very few options, and I searched from Seattle to Salem. I knew I would have the best experience at a store like Charlotte’s, where I would not only be able to order a dress in my size but also have dresses I could try on in-store. I was nervous about going wedding dress shopping because I’d heard horror stories from other plus-sized brides on the internet. But Charlotte’s was a dream come true. Melanie was so sweet and encouraging. We sat and talked about what I might want, and she let me try many styles, even some I would never pick but just wanted to see. She listened to what I wanted and curated her picks so well. She respected my budget, and I left the first time thinking I had found the dress. Then I brought my uncle the second time, and Melanie was so accommodating, and we found the dress! It was lovely on the hanger, as most dresses are, but once I tried it on, it was the one. I even tried on another dress, and nothing could change my feelings. I knew when I found Sean; he was the one. I knew when I found my engagement ring; it still gives me butterflies when I wear and see it. And I knew when I found my wedding dress.

There is no better place to find your wedding dress in the Portland, Oregon area! I worked with Stephanie and she made me feel heard, understood, and so comfortable. I came into Charlotte’s twice and it only took 2 times due to me getting in my own way the first time. The second time I went in I put all of my trust in Stephanie and she hit the nail on the head of finding my perfect dress. I did go to other stores but nothing compares to the experience I had at Charlotte’s.

I had the most wonderful time at charlotte’s! My stylist was Hannah and she was such a joy, she was able to really narrow down exactly what I wanted! This was my first time trying on dresses and I had a wide range of dresses I was interested in and she really was able to figure out exactly what I truly wanted. She focused on how the dresses made me feel which I think was so important. I was also very nervous as a plus size bride but that didn’t even factor in at all, I felt totally at ease and comfortable and I was able to try on dresses in my size! The most perfect experience I could ask for! The shop is adorable and had comfortable couches for my family & they provided champagne! And I found my dress!

I’m a plus size bride and I was nervous about wedding dress shopping. Sample sizes obviously don’t fit my body, my body is something I’m self conscious of, and dress shopping in person can be exhausting. My stylist Tara made me forget about all the negative. I felt safe with her to share my insecurities and she was so empathetic and encouraging. Not once was she annoyed about me saying no to a dress or not knowing why I didn’t like a dress. She listened and figured out what I wanted before even I knew it. She picked out my perfect dress and saved it for last. She stayed within my budget and she even paired my dress with perfect veil. At the beginning she asked me how I wanted to feel walking down the aisle to marry my person. I said glowing and holy cow did I feel like I was glowing with that last dress she saved for me to try on. Thank you Tara! You made finding my dream dress easy and you made my crew and I feel so at ease through this whole process. You’re the best! 100/10 recommend dress shopping at Charlotte’s.
