From the reviews
Mel did such an amazing job!! I told her what I was looking for and she picked out exactly what I had in mind! She was super sweet to work with and made me feel very special!! The entire bridal experience was just as amazing from the sparkling mocktails to the gifts when you walk in and when you leave!
It was a drive for us but worth the miles. Katrina was thoughtful, honest, and incredibly helpful. They have an incredible selection. My daughter tried on exactly what she thought she wanted as well as suggestions from our stylist and between the two found the perfect dress. Highly recommend!
If I could give 100/5 stars I would. I started my dress journey in a so so mood, just something to check off the list. But let me tell you, once I had my phone interview with Katrina I got SO excited!!!! She asked me things I hadn’t even thought of, and sparked my imagination of what the possibilities could be.
I was totally blown away with my experience at Charlotte's Bridal. I really hadn't planned on buying a traditional wedding gown and didn't know the first thing about them let alone any dress.
Plus size bridal & formal at Charlotte's Bridal & Formal Wear
Charlotte's Bridal & Formal Wear 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.
