Frequently Asked Questions

Who do I bring?Bring the VIPs you can't say "YES" without! Sometimes this means you shop alone, sometimes you bring a few loved ones.

-
What is sizing like?While sizes vary per location, our gowns typically range from size 6-34. All of our designers have different fits (just like no two stores at the mall will size the same), so every sample fits differently. It's important to note that bridal sizing is different than your "street size," so you may have a different size at Savvy Bride! ​ We understand it can be difficult to envision your dress when the sample doesn't fit perfectly, but we've got all sorts of tricks to help you achieve a close vision of what you will look like on your wedding day. We have pedestals to stand on to add length, clips to snatch you in, and more!
-
Do you have accessories?YES! We have an accessories bar and a variety of veils, headbands, and more to choose from.
-
What about alterations?We recommend scheduling alterations ~3 months from your wedding day, depending on customizations and if you plan on taking bridal portraits. On average, a fully altered dress costs $600-$800. While we do not alter in-house, we only recommend the best of the best in Charlotte and surrounding areas.
