Working with The White Room was hands down my favorite part of my wedding planning experience - and I say that as someone who really enjoyed wedding planning! Cathy and Carolyn worked with me from the moment I stepped into their boutique, and absolutely exceeded my expectations for my wedding dress. They helped me achieve a bridal vision I never could have imagined! My mother and I enjoyed every visit we had with them as they created my wedding dress. They are so caring, thoughtful, and talented - I cannot recommend them enough!!
Cathy and Carolyn are truly a mother-daughter dream team! Unlike most women, I wasn't looking forward to dress shopping. In fact, my anxiety about it was pretty high. I spite of that, these ladies made the entire experience feel like a fairy tale. My body is on the curvy side, and after many months of scouring Pinterest, I became obsessed with a specific designer (https://studiolevana.com/). I booked my appointment at The White Room accordingly, and I'm so glad I did! My mom found her mother-of-the-bride dress there as well. If I could give this experience 10 stars, I would! Thanks Cathy&Carolyn 💕
BE CAREFUL MAKING AN APPOINTMENT!!!!
If you find a dress beforehand, it’ll cost you!!!
Lots of boutiques take a credit card to hold your appointment, however, The White Room charges an excessive amount! It’s unfortunate that I didn’t find my dress at their boutique but that’s just the way things go. I drove 3 hours to Birmingham to spend the day trying on dresses. I was fortunate to find a dress. It’s unfortunate how NOT understanding they are that when you drive from far away, you have to stack your appointments. I was willing to pay the $50 appointment fee but I feel it’s excessive and a bad business practice to charge $150 for cancelling. I could have gone and tried on 1 dress and they would have only charged me $50- wasting both of our time! Businesses that have NO understanding is not a business I would recommend.
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!
I had the best experience at the White Room! From picking out my dress to all the alterations. Such a stress free experience and would recommend them to anyone!
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. :)
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! :)
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!
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!
The White Room is really everything a bride could want in a dress buying experience. They really went above and beyond to find me my perfect dress. They alterations process was super easy and they made sure that I was entirely happy with everything. I highly suggest stopping by The White Room to find your perfect dress!! Thanks for the amazing 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!
I’m so glad we went to the White Room. Cathy knew exactly what I was looking for. She is so personable and made my wedding dress shopping experience fun and stress free!
As the mom of a very busy bride with a tricky schedule, I could not have been more pleased with all aspects of our experience with The White Room. Not only did they have the perfect dress, but they have impeccable service from start to finish. Cathy and Carolyn are very knowledgeable and helpful, and it was such an asset to have someone as talented as Carolyn in-house doing the alterations. In multiple ways, The White Room went above and beyond to be helpful to us. And we loved and appreciated the beautiful, comfortable, and always peaceful atmosphere of their showroom. Many thanks!
I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience at the White Room! From the moment we arrived, I felt like the staff were committed to making the shopping experience enjoyable. The staff accommated my large tribe who joined me and made the decision making process all about me! My consultant was respectful of my budget, listened to my vision, and pulled dresses that were all gorgeous! When I walked out of the elegant dressing room, to the “oh my gosh!” And “you look amazing!” Comments Coupled with the big smiles, I knew I found the one! After I said “yes!” to the dress, we celebrated with a champagne toast (in real glasses!) and started the measurement process! I cannot wait for my dress to arrive and to return to the store for my first fitting!!
I would definitely recommend getting your dress at The White Room!! They are a joy to work with! They took my ideas and presented me with my dream dress. I can’t wait to walk down the isle in my White Room gown!!
I would recommend The White Room to ANYONE! Cathy and Carolyn were amazing stylists and worked with me to make the perfect dress! My entourage and I really enjoyed our time there; these girls made it fun!! My dress is a dream and I can’t wait for my first fitting in a few months!
I am convinced that The White Room is the best bridal salon in Alabama. Ms. Carolyn and Ms. Cathy have the sweetest hearts, top notch customer service, and a sincere love for their clients that makes you feel like family. Thanks to The White Room, I will walk down the aisle wearing my dream dress. They gave me a Cinderella moment I never thought I would get to have. If you’re looking for a perfect experience and a beautiful wedding dress, go see Ms. Carolyn and Ms. Cathy at The White Room.
Cathy and Carolyn are your go-to girls. Cathy's intuition blended with Carolyn's soothing demeanor and killer seamstress skills make these girls the POWER TEAM! Seriously - After 10 minutes there, I was relaxed, enjoying myself, all while feeling I was making progress during the dress search. I didn't feel like they were trying to force a designer, dress, or a sale on me, unlike some other boutiques.
Cathy knew I needed to try on something different, and what do you know...that was the dress I ended up falling in love with. I never had a doubt in my mind when it came to timeliness, quality of alterations, or trust. I trusted them from the second I walked in - I felt like I had passed responsibility off to the team here and they took the ball and ran with it.
In fact, we loved them so much that my mom got her mother of the bride dress here!
As a woman with fine taste, you can't beat the quality of service, the value of personal relationship with these women, and their commitment to their name at the White Room. I've already sent two of my friends there and plan to send many more!
I had an amazing experience with the White Room. I had imagined exactly what I wanted but could not quite find it in reality. Mrs. Carolyn the owner, took the time to meet with me to help me make my dream dress happen. She was able to take two different pieces and make them into one dress for me! The dress was a dream and it fit me perfect! During the whole process each person was patient and very kind, I knew they cared so much about my big day and me loving my dress!
The girl that helped me at The White Room was absolutely precious and helped a bride who had never been wedding dress shopping feel so at home!! The ease of the experience at this shop was amazing, the professionalism was out of this world, and the atmosphere of making every bride feel like they're the only person in the world that matters at that moment was such a refreshing experience. Even though I did not purchase my gown from The White Room, this is definitely a place I would recommend any bride to check out to hopefully find their dream gown!!!
The White Room exceeded my expectations of a bridal boutique. I was excited and nervous when I was looking for a dress and they treated me with the upmost respect and gave me the royal treatment. I visited several bridal boutiques and The White Room, by far, had the best service and it was the most luxurious boutique out of all of them. Their service and hospitality was one of the reasons why I chose them. When I walked into the boutique I knew I was in the right place because they were professional, fashion-forward and I knew they meant business. They actually listened to what I wanted unlike other boutiques I had visited and this was a huge plus.
Lastly, during my final fitting I almost fainted, literally. In the middle of my fitting my sugar dropped and I almost passed out. They brought me food and a drink to make me feel better and they rescheduled my fitting with no hesitation. They checked up on me afterward to make sure I was okay and they reassured me that I wasn't the first one to do this!
I highly recommend The White Room. They are the best!!
I shopped at bridal designer's stores in New York City and all over Birmingham. There is absolutely no bridal shop that can even compare to The White Room. The quality and selection of dresses and veils, the customer service, the attention to detail, the expertise, the timeliness - it all is TOP NOTCH. Ms. Cathy and Carolyn welcomed me into their shop, advised me, directed me and took care of me start to finish. They are the most genuinely kind hearted and welcoming people you could possibly find. Their knowledge of the dresses / materials / customization / altering and fitting is first hand. You will NOT find a more wonderful bridal boutique, not even in NYC!!
Cathy and Carolyn will make you feel like a princess. I had been shopping for my wedding dress for every weekend for a month mostly in Atlanta. As a last minute decision, my mom and I decided to check out the boutiques in Birmingham. The White Room was my first appointment of the day. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Cathy and Carolyn. We found my dress in that appointment, and I cancelled all of the other appointments I had for the day. When my dress came in there was a misunderstanding with the order. It came in the wrong color. Cathy got is figured out and reordered in no time! I wanted off the shoulder straps for the ceremony, and on the shoulder straps for the reception so that I could dance. Mrs. Carolyn engineered my dress so that I could have both. She made pivots for the straps and installed a hook and eye system so that they would not be too loose. Not only did Mrs. Carolyn do the alterations of my gown, but she also attached a comb to my grandmother's 60 year old veil so that I could wear it. She even replaced the elastic and added material to a really delicate silk and lace garter that my mother and grandmother wore so that I could wear it on my wedding day. There is no one I trust more than Mrs. Carolyn to work on my heirloom pieces. Her work is fantastic! I encourage anyone wedding and formal dress shopping to go to the White Room! The ladies here are amazing, and so are the gowns.
The BEST EVER! The White Room gave me an experience that I will always remember! From when I walked in and told them what I wanted, they new exactly how to make the dress of my dreams come together. A few close friends of ours was the first to use Cathy and Carolyn and told us about their wonderful experience. My sister and sister-in-law found their dream dress here and even my mother has got her MOB dress (2) and MOG dress here. They have truly become part of our family! Whenever a friend gets engaged or a mom needs a dress for their daughter's or son's wedding, I recommend they go to The White Room, because I know they will not be disappointed!
Overwhelmed by choices, emotions, and indecision, The White Room graciously and patiently helped us find the PERFECT dress for my wedding day. And, thanks to Carolyn's experienced and expert hand, the dress was altered to perfection. I truly felt like royalty on the day. Kathy and Carolyn are an incredible team and a true delight to work with! They made us feel completely at ease and truly made our dreams come true.
The ladies at The White Room have exceeded all my expectations for dress shopping. They have gone above and beyond to make my vision come to life. I am so thankful to have had their help and gain such sweet friendships through the process.
The White Room gave me an experience that I will always cherish. They listen so well and helped me find the dress of my dreams. As soon as a friend gets engaged, I recommend she go to The White Room, because I know she will not be disappointed!
Hands down, the most incredible experience from the location, the openness of the store, the warm friendly environment, the staff, to the small details that do NOT go unnoticed. You truly feel at home and like you are the only bride that exists..thank you for being so wonderful from start to finish!

I had the best experience I could imagine at The White Room. The ladies there put me right at ease and helped me figure out what I wanted in a wedding dress after I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. With their help I found the dress of my dreams! I highly recommend going to The White Room to find your perfect dress.
The White Room makes you feel like a million dollars from the first time you make an appointment. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness made my experience fantastic.
