I had such a great experience with Gown Boutique. I was able to describe the dress that I was looking for and my budget, and Katie found the perfect dress for me on the first try! Everyone was so kind and were able to answer all of my questions and give recommendations for where to go for alterations. I highly recommend booking an appointment here! read more

Gown Boutique - Jess & Jake Boone Hall Plantation - Bridal Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Had the most amazing experience!! All of the girls were super knowledgeable and I found the PERFECT dress in my budget! They don't try to pressure you into going above your budget and if I didn't like something about a dress - they would tell you what could be done to make it THE dress! Such an amazing experience read more

Absolute perfection. Emily was the sweetest in helping me find my dream dress. She found a sample dress in my budget that looked brand new, and I was able to take it home that day. Please look at their selection when shopping for your wedding day. read more

Charleston Gown Boutique Saved My Wedding!! I was in a pinch for a dress and left discouraged after another store lost my dress 2 months before my wedding. My mom called around to a few places and said she got a good feeling from GBC. The staff was so helpful from the moment I walked in, and had a glass of champagne ready for me. Alexis asked a few questions, and knew the dresses for me to try on. I walked out an hour and a half later with my dress in my hand! There were plenty of sample dresses for me to try on and take home that day but they ensured me that if I wanted to purchase a dress that wasn't a sample they would make it work. Planning a wedding is hard enough and Gown Boutique Charleston made finding my dream dress easy. The dressing room/try on area is perfect for family and wedding party if you are bringing them. Plenty of seating area and mirrors. The store is the perfect size that I felt like I was a priority but they had plenty of options to try on. If you're considering GBC, check out their Instagram, they are very active and show lots of dresses. read more

I had the best experience ever at Gown Boutique of Charleston!! I had the pleasure of working with Rachel who was so patient with me as I tried on a TON of dresses and just wasn't finding the one.

Jessica did an amazing job helping me find my perfect dress! She listened to what I liked and didn't like and put me in something I never would have picked up myself and I fell in love with it! The staff was so patience and wonderful through this whole experience. I wasn't expecting to find a dress I'd feel so comfortable and beautiful in at the first shop I went to, but when you know you know. This is a beautiful, clean local shop, with an amazing energy and atmosphere. They ask so many details to help make your dream dress come true. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Gown Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

First and foremost, I want to thank you all at GBC for making my wedding so incredibly amazing! I was pretty clueless on what kind of dress I wanted, but knew I wanted it to be timeless. Meghan pulled a gorgeous selection of dresses, but the first dress I EVER put on was THE ONE - talk about nailing it! GBC made the entire gown shopping experience absolutely amazing. We were greeted with warm smiles and hugs and put in to a private area. I loved that it was a smaller place so there wasn't 100 appointments going on at the same time - it was really tailored to just me and another bride making it incredibly intimate. When we found the one, they gave me my time to process the decision, helping with veil selection and accessories. I said yes and champagne was poured! The staff became like good friends and were always as excited about my wedding as I was! The entire staff is incredibly sweet, taking their time with each bride and making sure their day is perfect. I cannot begin to tell you how many people stopped me on my dress, completely gushing over it! I even had a few of the groomsmen taking pictures to send to their girlfriends telling them they needed a dress like mine when they get married! That's a win. Thank you for making my day (and every day leading up to it) incredibly special. You have all become friends and I'm so thankful I stopped at GBC first. read more

Had such a great experience at Gown Boutique, both times! My stylist, Jamie, was amazing and had a great personality. Everyone at the shop was so friendly and it was so fun! When I "said yes to the dress" they had confetti and balloons ready! Highly recommend read more

The first dress I tried on was the dress! If that doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alexis who made me feel comfortable and like I was dress shopping with a friend. I tried on multiple dresses and even went to another boutique so I didn't have any what if's and still ended up with the first dress I tried on! Definitely have to go to this amazingly prefect boutique. They also do an adorable celebration with you and your party after. I can't rant and rave enough about Gown Boutique of Charleston! Now go book that appointment!!!!!! read more

Gown Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Dress was pretty bought off the rack since the wedding was in 4 months. Extremely disappointed that my daughter's dress could not be altered because she moved her date a month. She had to take it to an independent seamstress that was recommended by a friend. The woman had been doing wedding dresses for decades. $500 later it was aweful. Another 350 to get it done right the week of the wedding. read more

I can't say enough good things about GBC! Jessica was the associate that helped me and she was so sweet and fun! The entire team was warm and extremely helpful. After visiting 3 Charleston stores, I can't stress enough how the team working at a bridal shop can really make or break the experience. I loved the energy and excitement at GBC - all of the ladies were extremely knowledgeable as well about different designers and customization options (they even gave me some tips that helped me save $100's on the the dress I ultimately bought). Jessica was never pushy either. At the end of my appointment, there was a dress that I loved but wasn't quite ready to say yes to. She told me to take some time, go to my last appointment elsewhere, and come back in the morning to see how I felt. Jessica truly went above and beyond and made time for us to come in before the store opened the next day (they were crazy busy with a sample sale that day so it felt like that much more of an extraordinary act of kindness)! I ended up saying yes to the dress and am SO grateful for Jessica and all of her patience and guidance. Shoutout to Janet as well who helped get me checked out, was there to help me and my sisters celebrate with champagne, and never once made us feel rushed. The whole team really let us enjoy this special moment that day. Thank you, GBC - I can't wait to get my dress in July! read more

I visited Gown Boutique of Charleston on a marathon dress shopping weekend. They were my last stop of the trip. What a wonderful experience! I was completely exhausted (my advice - don't schedule more than 2 appointments in one day, definitely not more than 3) but the staff there were comforting and accommodating. The salon itself is beautiful and they do have a very wide selection of gowns. My price range was $3,000-5,000 and I would say I was in the high end of their range. They had many dresses for me to look through, only a few were above that budget. The staff member I worked with, Jenna, was extremely knowledgeable not only of the gowns they carried in the store but of any upcoming trunk shows and new lines coming out. She made thoughtful suggestions and pulled dresses I never would have thought of on my own and ended up looking amazing! This is definitely one of the best in Charleston. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing. Simply amazing. Don't go anywhere else for your wedding dress - trust me!! I went in with absolutely no idea what sort of dress I wanted, and a fairly limiting budget. The staff helped me eliminate styles I didn't like, and figured out what I like. For a total novice regarding wedding dresses, GBC made this process SO MUCH FUN and so so SO simple. It was stress-free, exciting, and we found my dream dress by the fifth dress I tried on. I had no idea a dress as perfect as the one they found me existed. We made quite a few customizations to it; again, a process made very simple by the GBC staff. I could NOT recommend this place more; Janet and the girls made me feel like an absolute princess. I almost wish I could get married again just so I could pick another one out at GBC!! read more

Went with my oldest daughter to the Gown Boutique the first weekend of June. Jacqueline was her stylist and was absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly, supportive, and so very helpful. Needless to say she found exactly what she wanted there and we purchased that day. Picked up her gown this past weekend and it was a perfect fit and even more beautiful than we remembered. Will most definitely be going back when our youngest is looking for a dress. To all of my girl moms looking for the perfect wedding gown for your daughter, this place would be my #1 recommendation! read more

Im writting this review mainly to commend the wonderful service I received from Jenna, a very nice, friendly, wonderful and helpful specialist who helped me enjoy the experience even though I hate shopping and trying things on. She was very patient, a great listener, and very accommodating. The dresses were beautiful but the selection is quite focused on the "southern belle/bride" image (which I know makes sense, it is SC) but it would have been better to have a wider, more diverse selection since I did not have a specific dress pictured in my mind and had no real budget limitations. read more

Jamie was the best consultant! She was so helpful and made it even more special! They have an amazing selection of dresses and made it such a fun experience! I found my perfect dress and it was all thanks to her! read more

I had an absolutely amazing trip to The Gown Boutique of Charleston! My stylist Megan made every minute perfect! My family lives in California so I had shop alone but Megan made me feel so special and supported. Every single dress was beautiful but the very last dress was just perfect and everything I had ever dreamed of. I was very picky but she went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and everything was perfect, she even helped me Skype with my family to say yes to my dress in front of them :) Thank you thank you thank you! read more

From the moment my mom and I walked into GBC I just new I was going to find my dress. I had seen an Essence of Australia gown that I really liked online and fortunately they had it. It was the first one I tried on and after trying a few others I put it on again and knew it was the one. Janet was so amazing that day and brought out champagne for us to celebrate. My bridesmaids also went to GBC to choose their dresses and we had such a good time. All the dresses came in with plenty of time for them to have alterations done. I decided to add extra tulle for a little more cleveage coverage and it looked fabulous and custom made for me with in house alterations. I loved my dress and had so many guests tell me I looked like a princess. That is exactly how I felt and I'm so happy I chose GBC for my dream dress. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for a gorgeous affordable gown & the complete "say yes to the dress" experience! I'm so happy I was a GBC bride! read more

Cierra was the effing bomb during my appointment! She even spent extra time with me to make sure I could choose between two dresses I was stuck on. So happy I came here to look for a wedding dress. Amazing experience! read more

Gown Boutique was the last appointment on a full day of trying on dresses. I thought I had already found "the dress" at another store, but just wanted to look since I booked the appointment. Both of my parents had been shopping all day with me and decided to go home since we thought I had found the dress already. Then, I fell in love with my first dress at Gown Boutique! One of the first things out of my mouth to Jenna, the saleslady, was that I loved the dress, but I was not going to buy anything that day since my parents weren't there. I was pressured and asked at least three times to "buy today and save 15%!" I found this to be extremely offensive after having made it clear how important my family is in this dress process! Because we felt so uncomfortable there, we hurried to finish and leave. I tried to get 2 other local bridal stores to order this dress because I had such apprehension about supporting this business! Since no one else could order it, I had no choice but to return. I made an appointment with my parents. We arrived and were brought back to the "alterations closet" to put on my dress. Jenna opened the curtain so that I could show my parents and just stood there- no platform, no big mirror, no veil, no moment alone with my parents until I asked her to leave me with my dad for a minute!! This couldn't have been further from the experiences I had in many other bridal stores in Charleston! Email contact, though timely, was quite brash! I couldn't wait to get my dress and get it out of there! When I went retrieve my dress, I made an appointment, as was required. I asked to try the dress on to make sure it was my dress that we were actually leaving with. I was told that the 2 employees were busy helping other "brides"- 1 other bride in the store! Thankfully, I had my sister there. We were taken again to the "alterations closet" where I was able to slip on my dress to ensure it was mine. Pretentious, unfriendly, and overall horrid experience read more

Poor customer service. One particular individual was extremely rude and short with me when i asked about being measured for a bridesmaid dress that they carry. It was explained to me that all visits are appt only. I then asked to make an appt to be measured. Three employees were standing there, but for some reason they were unable to fulfill my request in scheduling one. Staff was pretentious and cold.. I will not be returning. read more

After deciding against the dress I had already bought, I went to he Gown Boutique to find The Dress. Terri, the owner, helped me shop and she was INCREDIBLE. The very first dress I put on I loved and she was very careful and respectful of my budget. The service was incredible and she also helped us find bridesmaids dresses that were affordable. The selection is excellent and the quality is far greater than the price you pay. Go to this salon, you will not regret it. read more

Gown Boutique exceeded all of my expectations! A few weeks prior to visiting Gown Boutique, I visited two different boutiques in Charleston. I became so discouraged after the first two boutiques which were both disorganized, and one had an extremely rude staff. When I walked into Gown Boutique I was greeted immediately and had a consultation with Leslie. We discussed my previous experiences and what I was looking for. She was such a good listener and made the experience fun and effortless (which I had zero faith after the first two experiences elsewhere). The first dress that I tried on ended up being THE one. I cannot say enough good things about Leslie and Gown Boutique! read more

Alyssa helped me find the most gorgeous gown within my price range! She made me feel comfortable and made the process very fun. I will happily recommend this boutique to any bride in search of a gown as this place also has the largest gown inventory in the area. With gowns in the price range of $1000-$5000 who needs to go anywhere else? Thank you so much to the staff but especially Alyssa again as she is a gem! read more

I can't say enough about what an amazing experience I had at Gown Boutique of Charleston! The owner Terri went above and beyond to make our visit incredible. When I arrived I wasn't sure what I wanted, but she patiently worked with me to find silhouettes that flattered me most AND made me feel great, until I found the PERFECT dress within budget! She is a true pro. I never once felt rushed or pressured, and they have an excellent selection of dresses which were within my modest budget. I have visited other salons and can assure you that this was BY FAR the best experience I had, and this salon is a step above the rest. The ambiance(trust me- it matters!), dresses, and phenomenal service were top notch. I highly recommend Terri and her team! read more

Had a great experience at Gown Boutique. We were the first appointment of the day, walked right in and started working with Jenna to find dresses. Jenna was wonderful -- personable, engaging, friendly, and was able to help me pick out about 8 dresses based on what I liked. She was encouraging in the fitting room, and really listened to what I was looking for. The shop is lovely. Great choices in dresses -- organized by price, so you know where to focus for your budget, wonderful area to show the dresses to your family/friends that came with you, and very girly and glitzy, which was fun for me and my mom. I would absolutely recommend this boutique to brides looking for dresses in CHS! read more

I can't say enough good things about Janet! She was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I met her, she made me feel welcome and special. She was so kind and patient; she didn't pester me to buy a dress. I stood on that pedestal for about 20 minutes, and she never once rushed or hurried me. She took her time and listened to everything I had to say. Everyone needs to go see Janet to buy their dress. I did end up buying my dress my first appointment :) read more

First, I was told by two other Charleston brides to avoid this place as the employees were rude and was in no means worth visiting. My sister, "the bride" (I am 9 years her Senior) was not aware and made the appointment. There were 6 total in our party shopping. (Mob, 2 sisters and sister in laws). We informed all the appointments of this ahead of time to make sure it wasn't an issue. (No other boutique had any issues, welcomed our "fun" party and offered champagne) We were all having the best day, laughing, completely relaxed and excited to be out to find "the dress" UNTIL we came here. Upon arriving, the owner said to my sister "are all THESE people with you !!??" With an attitude and look of disgust that completely upset all of us. She quickly informed us that she did not have seating to accommodate us, and we would have to wait "behind the rope" Once we were eventually called back, we were instructed to stay in a "designated area". There was ZERO hospitality. Our carefree happy, mood for this special occasion was immediately extinguished upon entering the door. Determined to continue acting as if nothing was wrong for my sister, I opted to look at the dresses with her , pointing out my suggestions... I was immediately scolded and told not to touch the dresses. We all just sat, and waited for this painful visit to be over. Saying that , We have shopped all over, have a closet full of Valentino, dolce and gabanna and Oscar couture clothing (much more expensive and exclusive than these gowns) and I have always had wonderful, warm and welcoming, "try on what you like" experiences whether the dress was $50 or 15k. I have never experienced such poor treatment from a place of business. If you want a fun, memorable, relaxing, welcoming and warm experience with your loved ones while you prepare for your special day DO NOT go here. Thankfully, my sister found her dress downtown at another boutique. read more

I had been in here with a girlfriend when she was shopping and knew I wanted to go back when it was my turn! They serve Bellini's and/or champagne which is always a plus for me! The interior of Gown was warm, welcoming and clean. The girl helping me (Emily) was amazing. After I showed her pictures of dresses in the running, she was able to pull dresses in similar styles and some wild cards that I actually liked. Emily was in the dressing room with me and I am modest but was actually 100% comfortable- they are professionals after all! I told her my budget and she pulled dresses that were well below my budget which is always nice. She also did not bother giving me dresses that were above my budget. I tried on several dresses at Gown that I REALLY liked but did not have a "wow" moment in any of them. The entire staff is very friendly and not pushy. I did not end up getting my dress here but I would recommend girls in the 2k-8k dress budget to shop here. read more

I am no novice to being in wedding parties, being in 6 I think I have a pretty good idea of the practices and processes that are involved with purchasing and altering a bridesmaid dress. I only heard great things about Gown before I was in a wedding party where the bride decided on a dress that they had. During the first fitting, our experience was so disappointing that the bride (luckily) decided to purchase her dress from another friendlier, more accommodating boutique in Charleston. Some of the employees bash competition within earshot of every guest and unfortunately have to comply with a policy that does not prioritize customer satisfaction. With every visit I found myself more and more let down with the way the boutique is managed. When my dress came in I asked the employee in the front of the store (the only one who greeted me) if there was and internal seamstress- she said she didn't know and couldn't give me a time to call back and see. By the time I reached someone to help me with the alterations as the dress could not be altered by an external shop, I was told that it would cost and average of $100 for a simple everyday procedure such as letting a 2 layered chiffon dress out by 1.5 inches, the dress only cost $250 to begin with. This is after the employee who measured me ordered a size that didn't fit based on her measurements of me. I was told that they order a size under sample (wouldn't over make sense so there was room for changes?) and in order to get a new dress shipped to me I would have to buy a new dress and receive no refund. The employee told me the old dress would still be returned to stock a re-sold. As a bride, you might have a much different experience but as a bridesmaid it has been a nightmare. I wouldn't out my bridal party through this and I won't be choosing them to help with my wedding. read more

I was fortunate enough to have owner, Terri, helping with my first appointment. She is honest, knowledgeable and an overall lovely lady (as are all of the other women I worked with at Gown Boutique during different appointments/fittings)! If you are looking for quality, service and value... look no further! The best selection at the best price! I could not have been happier with my dress (which was a sample that required A LOT of tailoring, which was done impeccably!), my overall experience, and the wonderful service along the way! Thank you SO much Terri! I will miss seeing you! read more

My shopping experience at Gown Boutique of Charleston was fantastic, and ultimately I found my gown here after many boutiques. After you find your gown, you are also invited to incentives regarding bridesmaids dresses and gown preservation through GBC. My gown was in earlier than expected and the girls worked with me to schedule fittings when I was in the area on holidays. The fitting process was excellent, and the seamstress is very knowledgeable and skilled. For all the work they did, I found the cost to be quite reasonable (they hand-sewed lace to get a better fit). Overall, I was very pleased with my gown and with the customer service from start to finish. I wouldn't have wanted to wear any other dress! read more

As someone who worked in the industry several years ago this was the WORST service I've ever seen. The owner was rude, rushed us and spoke to her employee as though she were trash & in front of her "client". She rushed us and told the bride who wanted to try on serval styles to find the "one" that she needed to hurry up and figure out what she wanted. Don't bother to show up early even by 5 minutes because you will be spoken to as if you did something wrong and the best part, stuck in the front behind the velvet rope. Get ready for the ride of your bridal hell. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. Charleston is filled with fantastic places to find that perfect dress and I highly recommend you avoid this place especially if you are so lucky to get the owner to host you. read more

HORRIBLE business. the owner TERRI LIED about her alteration prices and gave us the dress 2 days before the wedding so we were forced to pay DOUBLE what she quoted. AVOID AT ALL COSTS read more

I wish I could give them 10 stars, honestly. Janet and Cierra were both AMAZING and helped my find the absolute perfect dress. I had made two appointments at other boutiques but was unable to find exactly what I was looking for, my mom and sister were here from out of town so was discouraged I wouldnt find THE dress while they were here from NJ. I called around to see if anywhere could fit us in but with it being about 2:30pm it was near impossible to get an appointment that same day. Then we called Gown Boutique and explained our situation, they let us know they were fully booked (and closed the next day on Sunday) but would make some calls to see if anyone was willing to stay late to fit us in and would give me a call back. They called me back within 10-15 minutes to let me know they would stay open and have us come in at 5pm. I was so blown away that they were willing to make this accommodation for us. When I got there I was so impressed with the selection they had available, they had the store split up into dresses under $1,800 and over, and we were able to browse the store while they set up my room and pulled some downs based on the descriptions I gave. They seriously listened to everything I described and pulled the absolute perfect dresses, with every dress they asked what I liked and did not like and pulled new dresses to better fit that vision. Seriously, every dress was better than the next. Although we were clearly the last appointment, never did I feel rushed. They took their time and provided a wonderful experience. They were SO knowledgeable and SO professional. Not only that, they suggested some customizations to make my dress absolutely perfect. I am SO happy we ended up going here and will be raving about them for years to come! Do yourself a favor and GO TO GOWN BOUTIQUE read more

Beautiful dresses, wonderful staff. They helped me find my perfect gown and took wonderful care of our bridesmaids' dresses, too. Highly recommend! read more

I didn't end up buying my dress here, but I did have a great experience. They are higher-end, so they simply didn't have many gowns in my budget, which I'm not upset by. Gorgeous dresses and a wonderful staff. Very clean and the dresses are in great shape. read more

3 weeks ago I began my hunt for a wedding dress. Since my wedding date was less than 6 months away, my mom and I decided to book an appointment with Gown Boutique of Charleston because they had sample dresses that could be taken that day and since most dresses take 3-6 months to come in, we thought this boutique would be a great option. We were blown away by the beauty of the shop and ho kind everyone was. I came in open minded, not set style in mind. Once my consultant found the style I liked (all of the dresses she picked were ones I had no initial interest in) she picked about 6 dresses. Immediately I fell in love with the 1st one. All of them were gorgeous, but we had found the DRESS! Luckily the gown was available to ship by the first of the year. 3 weeks from the day I said yes to the dress, my dress was ready for pickup! It was everything I could imagine but better. Terri, the owner helped my try the dress on and find the perfect jewelry to go with it! The dress was a perfect fit! I would highly recommend this awesome bridal boutique to anyone. I can't wait to say "I Do" in May in the most beautiful gown! read more
