Church Street Bridal

t the shop were very attentive and fun to work with. They made sure that me, my mom, MOH, and future MIL were well taken care of. I also really admire all of their missions they support. I’ve already recommended some friends to come pick out their wedding dresses here and can’t wait to see what they pick. I highly recommend Church Street Bridal!!!

edibly helpful. I found the most gorgeous gown that retailed for over $1800 for a third of the cost. Love it!

ou won't be pampered or poured a glass of champagne, but you also won't deal with consultants trying to convince you to buy ridiculously priced veils and accessories. This place is so down to earth and they give you full control of your shopping experience. You get to pull as many gowns as you want and spend as long as you need trying them on! This is a no brainer! Every bride should at least check this place out before going anywhere else.

which was not an issue at all during my visit), all members of staff were attentive, answered all of my and my family's questions, and helped with pulling dresses. And their prices CANNOT be beat. I can't recommend a visit to CSB enough.

business). No joke, I tried on probably 100 dresses! I'm not a girly-girl but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It's definitely worth the drive for out-of-towners! Staff is helpful/nice.

re incredible and all of the proceeds go to a great cause!

y way possible and helped me choose my perfect dress. I purchased an amazing dress at a ridiculously discounted price and was ecstatic that the proceeds would go towards helping those in need.

ngly low price!

shopped sizes 8/10, which they had a great selection of. I tried on three dresses and fell in love with the first dress I tried on, none of the others compared. I couldn't walk away without the dress (which wasn't a style I had even considered for myself), and knowing the money was going to a GREAT cause made it even better. The dress only cost $475! I am still just as in love with my dress as I was the moment I tried it on. Before going to high end bridal shops that can be pricey, I recommend going to Church Street Bridal! They have a fabulous staff, selection, cause and prices!

idal shop I went to and you don't need an appointment!!! I made the trek from the DC area with my MOH and another gal pal and I tried on a total of 15 dresses before I made my decision. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and got SO many compliments. The ladies that work there are super helpful and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable. The dresses come from high end bridal shops, like Kleinfeld's in NYC, and are usually about 90% off, since they are sample gowns. The majority of the dresses come in sample sizes, so if you're teeny tiny or on the bigger side, you may not find as many options. I typically wear about a 6/8, which is a 10/12 in bridal sizing, and the dress I purchased was a 10. The dresses are organized by size and they get new inventory in all the time. They also have a great selection of bridal accessories, like jewelry and veils. I would definitely say this place is worth the trek and I would recommend it to anyone. Another huge reason I recommend this place is that it is run through the Central Virginia YWCA and the proceeds go to domestic violence victims. Great price and a fantastic cause? Sign me up!

were not disappointed. The staff is so friendly and offers helpful suggestions (e.g., what size to go up to, how a given dress would need to be altered, honest opinions). Also, they let my mom come in the room with me and help me get in and out of the dresses. While some people might prefer more individualized service, I liked being in the dressing room with my mom and not some stranger. They let me try on my favorite dresses multiple times to help me make a final decision, and they even held my two favorites overnight so I could sleep on it. Even after cleaning costs and alterations, I still paid less than I would have for an "off the rack" dress at most bridal shops before alterations (and that's for the low end of dresses!)! Plus, the fact that the money goes to such a wonderful cause helped me feel like I had done something good for others in my wedding planning!

deal you cannot beat and the fact that ALL the proceeds go to help women in the area is even better. Everyone that works there is awesome and so helpful, it is so great that this business has become more popular and has grown so much in such a short time.

me it was easy to clean. Not easy and not cheap. Luckily I found a fantastic seamstress who made the dress look perfect for a reasonable price. I would still highly recommend them and am so glad I took the time to drive there from NOVA.

ch Street Bridal and that to top it off their proceeds go to a good cause. So I went on my first day of looking for a dress and I brought my mother,MOL, MOH, and father. I tried on a dozen dresses had a blast but nothing that really sung to me. Then the consultant asked me what were the favorite parts of the dresses I tried on and she said she had one more she wanted me to try. She brought it out and that was it. I just felt like dancing and didn't want to take the dress off. Because it was my first day I couldn't believe I had found the dress so quickly. Church Street promised to hold the dress for me over the weekend. I rushed to some other stores tried on a dozen more dresses before I came back and knew this was the one! Had such a wonderful experience with Church Street.
