What's on the racks
“I had heard horror stories about trying to find a mother of the bride dress and was not looking forward to try to find a dress that was flattering and economical.”
“The prices felt average for bridal, and even though I didn’t set a budget, they didn’t push only the most expensive options.”
“I did my dress fittings with them, and they turned the back into a corset that matched PERFECTLY without ruining the beading.”
“from finding the dresses, to figuring out shoes and jewelry, and applying the finishing touches with alterations.”
What shoppers say again and again
“Riley took everything she wanted into consideration and we found the perfect dress for our bride!”
“from finding the dresses, to figuring out shoes and jewelry, and applying the finishing touches with alterations.”
From the reviews
I took my bridesmaids and mom to Catherine’s bridal trunk show in the fall. Be organized and make sure your group knows your style. We were able to find the dress of my dreams at a fraction of its normal price! They do a wonderful job making sure you have the “say yes to the dress” moment.
I’ve used Catherine’s for Bridesmaids dresses on two occasions. They’re extremely friendly and knowledgeable and never pushy. I appreciate their selection and fancy “small town boutique” feel Editing to add: I purchased my wedding gown from here. I fell in love with a dress that I didn’t think I would like.
Absolutely loved my experience here! I went in to purchase a dress for a quinceñera party my daughter was attending. I had the absolute pleasure of having their associate Grace help us and I could not have asked for a more pleasant, outgoing, and overall helpful person.
We had an appointment yesterday with Elescia. She was amazing at her job, she was able to quickly figure out what I was looking for and she picked out some beautiful dresses for me to try on. It only took 8 dresses for me to find “the one”, and it was STUNNING.
Plus size bridal & formal at Catherine's Bridal Boutique
Catherine's Bridal Boutique comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
