We had such a great experience at Classic Bride & CB Boutique! Courtney was so kind and accommodating, even letting us stay past closing without ever making us feel rushed. She made our bride feel so special and gave us the space to pick out dresses for her, making sure she could try on as many as she wanted. The boutique itself is beautiful, with a stunning selection of wedding dresses, including custom Meagan Kelly designs, so unique and elegant. They also have a separate clothing boutique, and my friends and I had the best time shopping there as well! So many stylish pieces and gorgeous accessories made it such a fun experience from start to finish. If you visit, ask for Courtney--she truly made the experience memorable! read more

You receive the best service and the consultants truly care that you feel comfortable and happy!!

This shop was my first stop and top choice when I started looking at boutiques for my dress and I was not disappointed. Savannah was so sweet and accommodating during our visit and the store was easy to navigate without feeling pressured. They asked for an initial budget when you sign up for your appointment and the value was all I could ask for and more. I didn't initially buy my dress on my first visit but I went back after a couple days and said "Yes" to my dream dress! I would highly recommend this store and this team to any bride that may feel nervous or anxious about finding their dress because they made it all effortless. read more

The detail to attention, the personalized experience, the friendly and knowledgeable staff are just a few reasons I would rank this bridal boutique above all others. read more

Some of the best service I experienced bridal shopping. I was greeted promptly given a beverage and escorted to pick out my dresses. They have two rooms one where you can buy off the rack and another for orders. It was a nice selection though not quite as huge as others. I was never charged a $25 fee and she clearly explained to me that they only charge when you do a package where you can receive champagne, chocolate etc. if you're bringing a group to shop with you. My one tiny complaint was that the girl who was my guide was extremely quiet and timid - she didn't clamp the dresses properly (tightly) to give me an idea of what the dress would be like in my size- and most of the ones I tried on were far too big. I would also have preferred someone who spoke up a little more just because my apt. was directly after work and I had to shop by myself so I needed some suggestions etc. I will say on a whole the ladies there were so nice and there were others there that were super helpful and so I might go back to order my dress through them. I felt their prices were fair, and I had no issues finding dresses in the 1000-1500 range read more

I can't say enough good things about Classic Bride & Formals. This was the fourth place I visited in search of a wedding dress, and the experience here was by far the best of all. Amanda greeted me warmly when I arrived (and didn't even mind that I was 10 minutes early). She showed me around the beautiful collection of gowns they have, and gave me all the time I needed to explore on my own and select gowns to try on. She was patient as I went through close to 15 dresses, providing good feedback but also listening carefully to my own thoughts about each one. While I ended up really loving 3 gowns, there was one I had a strong gut feeling about, and I'm so happy to say I chose it for my wedding. Throughout the entire process, there was never an ounce of pressure to buy, and the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of dresses and the designers featured. I ended up liking several dresses from the sale rack too, which had been marked down quite a bit. So you can likely find something for any budget. Amanda was also extremely helpful in explaining the process of buying and then altering the gown. While it will be a few months before my dress is ready, I am already excited to go back to see Amanda and store owner Phaedra and work with their seamstress on my fittings. I highly recommend the store to any bride! read more

I tried on gowns twice with two different consultants, and had a wonderful experience each time. The ladies were patient and helpful in suggesting beautiful gowns that I missed when going through the racks. The location is easy to find, and parking is easy. I highly recommend that you visit Classic Bride when you are searching for your dream dress! read more

The girls at Classic Bride are the best. The place is spotless and the inventory is hand picked. It is located in a historic house on Catawba ave. This is such a great location. Other stores are inside drug stores. I was hooked up with the greatest tux for two different occasions. Private dressing rooms. They also have the brands everyone is looking for in wedding gowns. read more

The team at Classic Bride & Formals went above and beyond my expectations for finding my wedding dress! From their quick responses to helping me find the perfect dress, I always felt listened to, appreciated, and respected. After trying on a few dresses, my maid of honor and I found one that neither of us were crazy about because of the colors but decided to try it on anyway. Kristy immediately told me that the dress came in different colors! Although Venus Bridal did not have any pictures of the dress in the ivory/ivory option, Classic Bridal helped piece together a "vision" to help ease my mind with choosing a dress that I hadn't really seen. When the dress came in, we were all IN LOVE!! So pleased and happy with all of the help at Classic Bridal!! Highly recommend! read more

Less than zero star is what it deserves. I live in the area and have passed by Classic Bride and Formal many times. I've seen the gowns they display outside their front porch and I've been curious about the store. That's right, I said front porch. This store is in a converted old and small house, with emphasis to small. This year, we actually had a reason to go in the store because my daughter was looking for prom dresses. We did not want to go to department stores where they sell mass-produced gowns. When we walked in, the middle-aged woman at the front desk eyed us from head to toe and RUDELY asked if we had an appointment. I said no and I added that I didn't know I had to have appointment to walk in and browse for prom dresses (I totally understand if someone wants to try wedding gowns, yes, an appointment will be needed to ensure there's an assigned consultant. But for prom dresses?). She RUDELY said that they are already expecting people with appointments so there won't be any available dressing rooms. Without breaking a smile nor warmth, she coldly pointed to her right where the formal dresses are. The room was very small and claustrophobic. With the dresses against the walls and a couple of racks in middle, there was hardly any room to walk around. My daughter and went around one time and I have to say with all honesty that the dresses were NOT anything to be desired, especially with prices of several hundred dollars. My daughter thought the dresses were very old fashioned. The room smelled like a grandmas attic. We left within five minutes because of the smell and the lack of air in the room. Be warned, if you have claustrophobia, or don't have an appointment, do not waste your time here. You'll save yourself the experience of being eyed down by RUDE person. There are more professional boutiques close by with better selections and with lots of airy space. read more

This was my first stop and first time trying on wedding dresses and I could not be more grateful for finding them! Courtney did a fantastic job and not only made me feel comfortable but was so great at providing feedback and her opinion. The store is in a beautiful house and has spacious try on rooms! Highly recommend coming here to find your dress! read more

Highly recommended! I found my beautiful wedding dress the first day and the staff there was phenomenal which made the experience of wedding dress shopping even better. You get individual attention, they listen to your concerns, and also make you feel so special as a future bride! If I had to do it all over again I would. The person I worked with the majority of the time was Kristy and she has a heart of gold. She made this experience incredible for me. Even after the purchase of the dress she was so accommodating. Allowing fittings even after hours bc of my complicated work schedule and steaming the dress the day before to make sure everything was perfect! I will never forget Kristy and Classic Bridal, all so influential in the whole process! I recommend over and over again!!! read more

This place was absolutely amazing from the second we walked in! They make you feel so comfortable and let you browse their entire collection of dresses and choose what you would like to try on! They will dress you up with different belts, head pieces, etc to complete your look! We had a party of 6 and we were able to sip on some mimosas while trying on (this was last June, pre-covid!) but it was just overall the best experience! Communication on arrival of dress was perfect and it arrived earlier than expected. If you want a one on one feel while trying on dresses, I highly recommend this place! 10/10! read more

This was THE BEST service and experience I've had in shopping for my wedding gown. The Ladies were down to earth, very helpful and so kind. I love the shop's atmosphere and the upbeat, positive, warm hospitality vibes that fill the space. They were SO very helpful in my search for a dress. They have a great clearance selection of all sizes and styles. If you're shopping for a wedding dress this is the place to go and these people are the best people to work with. I highly recommend them!!! read more

This is the first place that I went to try on wedding dresses. I had another appointment after but I didn't need to go anywhere else. Samantha helped me find the perfect dress. I thought I knew what I wanted going in and based on my selections, she helped me find my perfect dress. The dresses I picked didn't look or feel right on me. Their shop and the rooms to try on dresses are very cute. My girls and I had a great time. All of the ladies were wonderful. Would definitely recommend Classic Bride. You won't need to go to any other shop! read more

We stopped by here about a month ago without an appointment. The young lady up front, was very pleasant and welcoming to us. This boutique is in a cute house on Main Street in Cornelius, NC. They carry Allure, Maggie Sottero and Essence of Australia, to name a few. I looked around and tried on a couple of gowns. While I was trying on gowns, the young lady asked for my name, address, wedding date, and phone number. As I've mentioned in previous reviews, I'm not too fond of giving out my information, but she was so nice and helpful, I thought why not since most other places had asked for this information, as well. She also never mentioned this fee for trying on dresses that Jennifer mentioned in an earlier review. I liked two of the dresses I tried so she took down the information for me on card. A couple days later I received a thank-you card in the mail. Most businesses don't do this anymore. I use to do this as a hairstylist.. This really impresses me and is a great way to earn my business. Sending a thank-you card showed me that the boutique is willing to go the extra mile for the customer, which means a lot when you are entrusting someone with your wedding dress. I stopped back by last week to look at bridesmaids dresses and I believe I spoke to the owner, who was also very friendly. I didn't see anything that stuck out at me but she let me know they could order any dress they had in a different color. I also told her I was still looking for a wedding dress. She showed me around some more and told me I could come back in and try on more dresses when I had more time. I'd really like to find my dress at this boutique. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that had the wow factor of a dress I tried on in Charlotte. I'll likely stop back by this fall as they will probably get more dresses in as the season changes. read more

The absolute best bridal experience ever. The staff was so helpful and so accommodating. I feel like they truly cared about me and my dress. Rheva was the best consultant and Kristy was wonderful with helping in the purchasing process. Amazing selection without being overwhelming. I will 100% tell everyone I know to go here. read more

Love this place! I tried on 30+ dresses at three different business (all recommended + reputable) but Classic Bride was my first stop and final choice. The dress selections (MAGGIE SOTTERO OMG) and customer service is everything! Phaedra and Heather are so sweet! read more

I had such a great time at Classic Bride! Amanda was our consutant and she was amazing, very warm and knowledgeable! They have cute little decorated private rooms for you and your entourage and a great selection of dresses for any type of wedding. Would definitely recommend you visit them if you're looking for a wedding dress :) read more

Bringing it down to a 1 because I gave the store a fairly positive review with my only complaint being that the store DID NOT make the 25 dollar fee clear. The owner's hostile response leads me knock it down to a 1. I shopped at almost a dozen stores before I bought my gown and not ONE charged me except for Classic. I shopped in Charlotte, Charleston, and Atlanta at super tiny boutiques and larger stores. No other store, including the small boutiques, charge to try on wedding gowns. There are so many other bridal salons and "boutiques" in the area that one doesn't need to waste their time (and money) at this place. read more

The entire team at Classic Bride is always so friendly and willing to help each bride and/or bridesmaid feel special and comfortable! Weddings can be so stressful so it is nice to make one of those stressful elements so easy by shopping here! I have referred many of my friends here because I love this business and the owner so much! I can't speak highly enough of Phaedra and the entire team here! If you are looking for a stress-free environment where you don't feel like you are being pushed into a sale, then look no further! These girls will make you feel like you are shopping with your friends and not a sales person who is a stranger! Thank you for everything! read more

Unique shop where you're allowed to look through the racks and pick your favorites. The sales lady who helped us referred to the dresses as women ("Oh that's Delores, she's new here") but she was incredibly nice and followed up with me days after my appointment. read more

This place and the associates/owner are great. It's a cute house with a boutique feel. The service is non pushy, helpful, encouraging and patient. I live in Durham and my experience here has been so much better than anywhere else, that I'll be purchasing my bridal gown here despite the long drive. They have already gone above and beyond and I haven't even purchased my dress yet. read more

Wonderful Stress free experience! Shopping for your dress can be a bit overwhelming, but Phaedra and Amanda made it easy and fun. I found the perfect Nicole Miller wedding gown, but it was going to take to long for my size to come in. Sharon, her seamstress did a wonderful job altering the dress I choose to fit me. I also purchased a Nicole Miller cake dress, which everyone complemented as well. Both dresses' worked out perfectly for my Savannah wedding! I would highly recommend purchasing your dress from Classic Bride and Formals for the great customer care alone, not to mention all the beautiful dresses to choose from. read more

Very rude and discourteous on phone. If this is how they treat people will bring my business elsewhere. They need to remember they do not know who is on the other end of a phone. read more

There aren't enough good words to describe this bridal store. I am the MOH for my sisters wedding in May. We had a unique situation going into the store today, as we are short on time and were mislead by a previous store. Kristi took control of the situation and helped us above and beyond what we could have expected. The fitting rooms are huge and private. They do not make the bride feel rushed, and overall we had a great experience. Thank you Kristi! read more

Charlotte brides - do yourself a favor and add Classic Bride & Formals to the top of your list of dress shopping stops! Since I live South of town, CB&F wasn't on my radar at first. A friend of mine suggested that we make a stop there, and I couldn't be happier that I did for several reasons: 1) Selection: Not only does CB&F have an excellent selection in terms of variety of dresses / styles, they also have the best variety of price points and make no judgements about you based on your budget. 2) Atmosphere: Hands down the most laid back and pleasant of all the stops I made. I also loved their shop set-up the most. It's an adorable converted house right on the main street in Cornelius. Also, unlike other stores, you never felt like you were competing for attention from the staff. It's a very individualized experience. 3) People: Amanda & Phaedra are incredibly warm, welcoming and flexible. They go above and beyond to make the dress buying and fitting processes fun and memorable. 4) Seamstress / Alterations: Sharon is a GEM. She's incredibly honest and transformed my gown by creatively incorporating pieces of my mother's veil. Without her vision and talent, I would never have ended up with a truly unique dress of my dreams! Classic Bride & Formals was such a special part of my wedding experience. They treat their brides like family, and I can't recommend them highly enough :) read more

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding and was asked to choose a Dessy dress. I reached out to Classic Bride & Formals to inquire about styles that they had in the Dessy brand and was told they had 30 Dessy styles I could try. I had pre-selected several styles prior to getting there but was open to other Dessy options. When I arrived, I was told to select dresses to try on. It turns out there were only a small handful of Dessy styles for me to try on. When I tried them on, I felt just stared at by the woman who was meant to be helping me in my appointment. She didn't offer suggestions or helpful feedback for me. All she did was ask me for my empty hangers to re-hang the dresses. It was such an uncomfortable experience. I've been in other weddings and even when shopping for my own wedding dress and have had some wonderful experiences where the people at the dress store made me feel welcome, offered helpful advice, tips, kind chit-chat, etc. and made the experience excellent. I felt none of those things at Classic Bride & Formals. The woman helping me didn't even know how to measure me properly and recommended a size to me that was 3 sizes bigger than I should have purchased. I was able to try on the size that worked for me elsewhere and know that it was 3 sizes too big. Would definitely not recommend this shop. Was so disappointing they were such an unwelcoming shop. read more

Phaedra and Kerith are TOP NOTCH. They welcomed my Mom and I into their shop, took extra time to work with us, were extremely efficient with their communication and in answering all of my bridey questions! Their seamstress is a perfectionist and did an amazing job of making my dress fit like a glove. The overall experience was magical, seamless, and stress free. I drove an hour and a half from where I lived to make sure my wedding dress experience was with Classic Bride and Formals. The shop and the ladies are perfection. read more

I truly cannot say enough positive things about this business and these wonderful women. I wandered in during my lunch break THREE DAYS before a major formal event. I didn't actually think I would find anything, but made the effort anyway. Not only did I miraculously find a dress that was far more beautiful than any other I could have imagined, but I was treated to one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. The dress on the racks wasn't quite the right size, but I was ready to settle on the not-quite perfect fit because I was so tired of searching. Then Kristy and Phaedra offered a second option -- they would contact the designer and try to get the right size overnighted to me. I couldn't believe it. It came right on time, was a perfect fit, and I got SO many compliments. I couldn't have been happier. I will ONLY be shopping here for my formal (and hopefully one day bridal) wear needs from now on! Thank you ladies SO much!!! read more

Incredible service! I had help from multiple staff and they were all so knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. They respected my budget and were not pushy. I had a great experience at this local shop and walked away with dress! read more
