Whether you're an excited bride-to-be, a supportive maid of honor, or just a hopeless romantic with a penchant for pretty dresses, we're glad to have you here. We can't wait to be part of this exciting next "yes."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I book?
    We are an APPOINTMENT ONLY boutique so we can dedicate our full attention to each bride. Bridal reservations through our website are a great way to ensure you can try on dresses when you come to the shop, so if you know when you want to stop by, make a reservation!
  • When do I book?
    We recommend you start shopping about 10-12 months out from your wedding day in order to have the most options available to you!
  • What do I bring?
    Pictures of gowns that inspire you from our Instagram, designer instagrams, Pinterest, vision boards, etc Photos of your venue if you've booked one Undergarments of similar styles you will wear on your wedding day to help get the full look Heels if you'll wear heels to get married, flats if you'll be wearing flats
  • 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. We do have limited space in our boutique to foster an intimate shopping experience, so please double check fitting room capacity & call our store if you want to bring a larger party.
  • How much should I budget?
    Our gowns range from $1,800 -$5,000. Most brides typically spend $2,000 - $3,500 when they shop at our store. We will ALWAYS honor your budget and do our best to find the gown you love!
  • 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? What about Mother of the Bride/Groom gowns?
    Each Savvy Bride location has an accessories bar and a variety of veils, headbands, and more to choose from. ​ YES! We offer an exclusive mother of the bride/groom collection. Make a Mother of the Bride appointment to try on.
  • 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.
