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!

We recommend you start shopping about 10-12 months out from your wedding day in order to have the most options available to you!

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.

Our gowns range from $2,000 -$9,000. Most brides typically spend $2,500 - $5,000 when they shop at our store. We will ALWAYS honor your budget and do our best to find the gown you love! If you are looking to spend under $2,000, we do have off-the-rack options available for under $1,500, however prior to your appointment please message the store because not all OTR gowns are in the gown gallery.

While sizes with Designers vary, our gowns typically range from size 6-20, and most Designers can special order a gown up to size 32. 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!

YES! We have an accessories bar and a variety of veils, headbands, and more to choose from.

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.

CALL US if you are looking for a specific dress! We carry samples from each of our designers, & we can special order from a designer's available collection.

No outside food or beverage allowed in the boutique. Sorry, no exceptions!
