I had SO MUCH FUN trying on gowns the other weekend with my sisters! Valerie made it so much fun, helping me live out a Princess Diaries dream for the heck of it, walking around the cobblestone streets, and so much more! 100/10 would recommend to anyone even if you’ve been other places.
I loved working with everyone at White of Raleigh!! I was looking for a detailed show stopper dress with a nude underlining and beading detail on the outside and they helped me narrow down my options to find the perfect one! They also helped me pick out accessories such as my sleeves and veil to go with my dress!
As soon as I arrived for my appointment they made me and my party feel very comfortable and kept the energy alive and positive! They were very knowledgeable and knew exactly the right questions to ask to help me find my dress quickly. Not to mention the spacious, clean and beautiful environment they offer for trying on and showing off the dresses in front of their mirrors and platform for your party to see. I also loved the little gifts they provided during my appointments and the hospitality. 100% highly recommend everyone to make an appointment with White of Raleigh for their wedding dress/ accessory needs!!
wonderful experience picking out and purchasing dress.. horrible experience picking it up. I was told some customizations would look a certain way, and yet it doesn't look anything like it. The dress I picked out and the dress I received are nothing alike. They also do not have an in house seamstress anymore, and refuse to own up to their mistakes.
Any questions?
Manager sucks
My experience with White of Raleigh started fabulous. Moira was amazing to work with when finding my wedding and purchasing my wedding dress. She was so helpful, so kind, and so invested. She really knew how to hype a girl up.
Fast forward 6 months and my dress had arrived. Upon going to try on/pick up my dress, we realized Moira no longer worked there; no big deal. The manager was now also someone new.
We had a pretty unpleasant experience with the new consultant who was there for our pick-up appointment. Nothing outstanding, but she wasn't very nice or helpful, and it seemed like she was waiting for us to leave as soon as possible.
I took the dress to get altered two days later. This is where I noticed that my dress was the wrong size. I immediately reached out to White of Raleigh to let them know. When I picked up my dress, no one mentioned anything about it being a different size, so I assume they didn't even check to confirm the order's accuracy upon delivery.
From here, things went south. The communication and customer service from White of Raleigh is inexcusable. I have been going back and forth since December trying to figure this out. I go weeks without a response and have to follow up multiple times. No apology or accountability has been taken for the wrong dress size being ordered.
When you purchase a dress here, you must sign off on numerous things, including the size of the dress ordered. They stated that they intentionally changed the size without any communication with me. When spending this amount of money on something, you want it to be correct, especially considering what you signed off for and what your receipt states.
My dress now needs considerably more alterations, which they have said would have cost the same amount of money no matter what. Whether this is true or not is beside the point.
Needless to say, I am still waiting to hear from the owner, who I was told would reach out to me 3 weeks ago. Yet I have heard nothing.
I hope this ends positively, but unfortunately, White of Raleigh will not be somewhere I recommend to others - no matter how much I love my dress.
I worked with Gianna during my appointment to find the perfect dress and she was absolutely incredible. With a very brief description on what I was looking for, she picked out several dresses that were flattering in all the aspects I was hoping for and made sure to stay under the budget that I had mentioned as my max. She was extremely personable and elevated the entire experience of trying on wedding dresses - her attention to detail was also amazing. I had been to another bridal shop before this one earlier that same day and the experience at the first did not even come close to my experience at White Bridal. The manager who was working at the time was also kind & just lovely all around. Everyone at White Bridal made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision and I'm so grateful!
This is where I got my dress from. I can’t wait to wear it come October.
Moira was awesome and very helpful as my bridal consultant. Also all the other staff at the White Raleigh were very friendly, and helpful as well.
They also have very good in house alterations.
Moira was amazing! She did a wonderful job picking out dresses and was so professional and personable. White of Raleigh is a MUST for wedding dress shopping!
White of Raleigh provided an incredible bridal shopping experience. The store is exquisite with elegant chandelliers, plenty of natural light and ample space for the bride and her crew. They have a beautiful selection of wedding gowns and accessories, and the sales associates are attentive and knowledgable. They allow you to take your time and try on as many dresses as you'd like, and offer complimentary champagne to make the experience even more bubbly. They are not pushy salespeople like I found at other area shops, and they have a wide selection of dresses in all styles and price points. I highly recommend this bridal boutique!
I am not a bride, but a groom-to-be. Still, I want to doubly thank the fantastic staff at White of Raleigh for their contributions to the amazing experience I and my now fiancée had at this boutique! From the warmth and enthusiasm of their welcome to their undeniable creativity, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate, we could not have wished for a more satisfactory experience!
From the moment I contacted them, by phone, one day prior to an undoubtedly hectic trunk show, with an extra special request, Molly, Moira and Waverly offered no resistance or hesitation to make accommodations to the fullest. Upon entering this beautifully decorated and well laid out shop the following day, during said trunk show, I was warmly greeted by Waverly and quickly introduced to Molly and Moira, each of them previously engaged with potential (and highly probable) customers as I entered. This team's commitment to excellence and passion for their trade was immediately evident, as was their ability to listen, communicate and work collaboratively to ensure personalized customer satisfaction. I was granted a privileged glance behind the scenes of this luxurious and well-run boutique, as I waited for my bride-to-be and her party to arrive and begin her fitting. As these women went so gracefully about their work, there was not a trace of disappointment to observe on the face of any one of their many customers. Their mention of " ..we love all of our brides!" during my brief and unpredictable phone call the day before, seemed like an understatement after having witnessed this all as a "fly on the wall" that Saturday afternoon. They treated the woman I care most about, her mother and a group of our close friends, with the utmost kindness, consideration and courtesy during her appointment. Every moment, from the fitting to my fiancée's eventual purchase of "THE DRESS", was well-anticipated, organized and comprehensive.
The impeccable customer care is coupled with high-quality and well-priced merchandise. My fiancée was surprised by the feel and comfort of the dresses she tried on and was especially pleased to come in "under-budget" with her purchase. She has not recanted the story of her experience without mention of the elegance of the gown and "feeling like a goddess," in the changing space with Molly. The physical and emotional response she had to trying on and seeing herself in "the one" was unmistakable and eliminated all uncertainties about the many dresses she had shopped around for, prior to her visit to White of Raleigh.
On a personal note: The fact that the staff was willing to allow me, as stranger (to them and certainly to wedding gown shopping), on such short notice, to intrude on a busy weekend, to impose on their tight-knit appointment scheduling and to commandeer their back office and sound system, in order to surprise my long-time girlfriend with my proposal speaks volumes about their personal character and passion for what they do. They facilitated a truly unforgettable moment and experience for us and our relationship. I'm pleased to know that their hard work and dedication will be represented and on display during our "big day!"
I can say, with all confidence, you WILL NOT have the same great experience that we did at White of Raleigh, but you, and/or your bride-to-be, will absolutely have one your very own! I sincerely cannot recommend them enough!
I thought finding a wedding dress was going to be the most complicated part of the wedding planning process, but thanks to White of Raleigh it was so incredibly easy. I booked my appointment with ease and felt so incredibly welcomed during the appointment! I told the girls everything I was looking for in a dress, feeling sure I was going to walk out without a dress, but Tori pulled the dress of my dreams. I can't thank Tori and the girls at White of Raleigh enough for my dress and making the process so easy.
My sons sweet fiancé invited me to go shopping for wedding dresses with her. I was so honored! We went to three boutiques. White of Raleigh was our very favorite experience. Molly and Moira took excellent care of us and made us feel like we were the most important people of the moment. They listened very attentively to what the bride was looking for and honed in on what would make her feel the happiest. They even shopped for dresses between our appointments and called us back for the bride to try on a dress that they thought would be perfect for her. They were absolutely right! you can tell they have great, warm, and professional relationships with their designers. They were willing to call the designers to ask questions that we had. Molly goes out of her way to make each bride feels good about their body and understands how exhausting bridal shopping can be. You can tell how much Moira enjoys her work. Her genuine excitement was contagious. They made it so fun and a great memorable experience. Their taste is impeccable. The shop is beautiful, spacious, elegant, and well-lit. They allowed us as guests to walk around and look at dresses and encouraged the bride to try on lots of different types of gowns. The lighting is beautiful with lots of natural light. They have really comfortable places for guests to sit where they can view the bride easily in three-way mirrors. The crystal chandeliers alone or worth a visit. I highly recommend them!
I bought my dress at White of Raleigh, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Not only was my dress so unique (there was nothing else like it from neighboring boutiques), but the staff was the absolute best! Molly was the most helpful, patient person I have ever met. Not only did she set me up with a same day appointment, but she stayed late that night to make sure I was in love with every little detail. I went to several bridal shops in Raleigh, and this was by far my favorite!
My experience at White of Raleigh was the best! Working with Moira was so much fun. She made the experience fun, energetic, comfortable, and had insightful suggestions! White of Raleigh had a great selection of dresses and price points, and I loved being able to pick out dresses I wanted to try on. The customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend White of Raleigh!
I had a great experience at this shop. It was the first place I tried on dresses and I bought one that day! I needed something off the rack, since I didn't have time to order. Tori helped me pick out the perfect dress and suggested adding custom-beaded straps that were amazing. It was a fun and no-pressure appointment in a beautiful setting.
They are so nice and helpful!
Horrible experience at White of Raleigh. The 2 girls helping me were incredibly rude, inattentive, and cut our time short (it was supposed to be a 1.5 hour appointment and they told us we were done 10 minutes early). I tried to show them styles of what I liked when we first arrived and they were not interested in using this as a guide to select dresses to try on. I asked to try on several different styles to see what would look best on me and they were frustrated by this request and only brought a few to try on. They were also openly frustrated when I did not like the style of certain dresses they brought over. My bridesmaids were with me and they were appalled by the rude staff and lack of variety of dresses at the store. Wedding dress shopping is supposed to be fun and exciting, and the staff we worked with made it the opposite of that. We highly suggest you look for a wedding dress elsewhere.

Hi Annie,
We are incredibly saddened that you feel your experience at White of Raleigh was less than perfect. While we strive to have as many different gown styles as possible, we know that we may not have THE gown for every bride. To counter ...
this, we do everything we can to to show our brides many different styles, as well as let them know what options they have to customize certain gowns to help them fit your vision. We pulled gowns from our stock that were the most similar to the inspiration gown photos you showed us, as well as some gowns with different styles and levels of details. While we did pull gowns for you to try on, you and your entire group were also allowed to look through all of our gowns and pull dresses to try on. This is something we do specifically to ensure that both you and the people who know you best have a chance to help you find your perfect gown.
Regarding your appointment time, the 1.5 hour appointment time is simply maximum time limit for each appointment. Many bridal appointments will take somewhere between an 1 and 1.5 hours. In your case, there were no more gowns that your consultant though might interest you, so the appointment came to a natural end about 5 minutes before the allotted time ended. While appointments ending early is not at all uncommon, we do apologize if you felt that we had rushed you in any way.
At no time did we believe that we were acting in a way that may have come across as frustrated towards you or your bridesmaids. Often times, when we are struggling to help a bride find her perfect gown, we will explore other options or simply try to think outside the box. This may take the form of asking additional questions, looking at more gowns on our designers’ websites, standing off to the side looking at our dress racks, or even pacing around the shop trying to think of creative solutions. We are sorry this was not expressed vocally during your appointment.
If you have any additional comments or would like to discuss your appointment further, we would welcome your additional feedback.
Best Wishes,
White of Raleigh
I hate shopping for clothes so I thought wedding dress shopping would be miserable. I visited several bridal salons and I can honestly say that White of Raleigh is the best of the best. I have trouble finding clothing styles that look flattering on my body type, but somehow Molly and Tori managed to find 10 dresses in my price range that were beautiful and looked amazing on me. I felt completely overwhelmed at the other bridal salons, and the consultants kind of blew me off when it became clear that I was having difficulty making decisions. Molly was very patient and honest and spent a long time talking me through my options. She made me feel confident about my choice, which is invaluable and exactly what I needed. If you’re indecisive or have a difficult body type or if you’re planning on bringing your brutally honest and opinionated mother to your appointment …White of Raleigh is the perfect bridal salon for you.
So glad I decided to go here! The girls here were absolutely amazing and so down to earth, they made the experience enjoyable and stress free! I had been to around 4-5 stores before coming here & had resigned myself to the fact that I would not have one of those "this is my dress moments." Boy was I wrong!! When I called for an appointment and described what kind of dress I was looking for Molly said "oh we have your dress." She was 100% right, I said yes to that exact dress!! I cannot say enough good things about this store & about Molly!! Do yourself a favor and go here!!
I went to a lot of shops before finding my dress, and this experience was absolutely by far the best. Everyone working in the shop was very friendly and personable. My sales consultant was Tori, and she is AMAZING. She put me at ease right away, took all of my concerns into account, and even called the designer personally when I had a couple of questions. Overall, they have a beautiful selection of gowns in varying price ranges, and such sweet people working. I am so glad I scheduled an appointment at White of Raleigh!!
This salon was recommended to me by a friend for being very helpful for brides trying on dresses for the first time. White of Raleigh did not disappoint. They staff helped me figure out the right dress silhouettes and the amount of details I liked. For covid precautions, we ended up having the entire salon to ourselves and it was such a fun experience. I would happily recommend to any bride!
