From the reviews

What an experience. It was “Love at First Sight” for me. I found my dress on my first visit and first time shopping for a dress. We had the VIP experience and the dress selection, privacy, music selection, patience, personal attention, mimosas, and light refreshments were absolutely more than I could have dreamed of.

Jahia was amazing!!! My fitting was such an incredible experience and she helped me figure out what I love and what I don’t like as much.

★★★★★ — Priscilla, Jun 2026

I had a wonderful experience at Gavin Christianson (and ended up finding my dream dress!!). I had had bridal appointments at several shops the day before, so I had a good idea of what I was looking for.

★★★★★ — Tyler, Mar 2025

I had an amazing experience both times I visited Gavin Christianson Bridal. During my first appointment, Gineen was so incredibly attentive to me as a bride to be and knowledgeable about her inventory as she helped me narrow down to 2 dresses.

Plus size bridal & formal at Gavin Christianson Bridal

Gavin Christianson Bridal 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.
