I made an appointment for this bridal shop. It was busy, but super cute! Customer service was top-tier! We were welcomed upon entry, greeted with a beverage offering, and shown to our space, where some selections were already pulled based on information collected setting the appointment. The dressing room was a comfortable space.  The stylist was great. She was very nice and ambitious. She listened to my wants and looked through their large selection to deliver. She even offered to let me browse as well, just in case I saw something that caught my eye. It's a large space with very pretty dresses.  I loved the experience there and left feeling really warm and optimistic. They have a cute rose wall too, which is a great photo opportunity. read more

Savvy Bride Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

From the moment I walked in, the experience felt thoughtful, relaxed, and genuinely special. The team truly gets it--they listen, they guide without pushing, and they somehow know exactly what you're picturing even when you can't quite explain it yet. My dress was absolute perfection. I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect pick for me. And the veil... unreal. The best, most ethereal veil I could've imagined. It completed the whole look in a way that felt timeless and magical without being overdone. Savvy Bride made the entire process joyful and stress-free, and I walked out feeling confident, beautiful, and 100% sure I'd found the one. If you want a dress (and veil!) that feels like you, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend! read more

this bridal shop told my sister she "won" a VIP wedding dress shopping expirence and after weeks of texting back and forth and coordinating the appointment for when our mom would be in the country (lives in the UK) we get to the shop only to be told she was never put on the calendar and there was no way to get her in. We understand mistakes happen but to set the expectation of a luxury experience and understand we were working with limited time while my mom was in the country to not figure out a way to squeeze her in somehow when it was the shops mistake seems wildly unprofessional. Will not be returning which is unfortunate as I was looking forward to this appointment as well as I am also a 2027 bride myself. read more

What an awful experience for my darling soon to be daughter-in-law. She "won" an appointment and her mother flew in for a day of wedding dress shopping. When we arrived, we learned that she did have the appointment, but it was never actually scheduled so they turned her away. I could not even believe the audacity of the manager, who wasn't even able to work her in at all. Needless to say, we will be giving our business to another dress shop. read more

Not Botello, and we followed Waze to the incorrect store. There is also no parking available.

Savvy came across as not interested in helping the Bride but more about how much money they could make. They charge you to make an appointment and look at their dresses. I was not impressed with the mannerism and the lack of interest in the Brides interests. If you're looking for a Bridal shop to make you feel comfortable and not rushed, this shop may not be for you. read more

This is the most unprofessional establishment I have ever dealt with. While trying to coordinate a dress fitting with out of town guests ...my daughter paid for a package that included champagne. When we discovered we had two more people than the "allowed number of guests" we called and texted trying to work it out where all out of town guest could be included with no help from the staff. We were told that the number one concern was that the "stylist" who was assigned to my daughter would not be stressed out the day of the appointment. That is this companies number one concern. Then when asked about canceling the paid appointment we were told no refunds. This business apparently is NOT for the consumers comfort at all. It was clear. There is no way I would give a dime to a company that doesn't put the customer first. This was a huge disappointment for what was supposed to be a very special time. read more

The day I began shopping for a wedding dress, my mom flew in Chicago and we went to three places with Savvy being the last stop. The first was ok. The second place was super pushy, and Savvy made me feel like a bridal Goldilocks because their approach was just right. First of all, their selection is insane. So many stunning dresses led me to reworking what I had envisioned for the better. And the option for a custom dress? Wow. The staff is so helpful and they really give you the time you need without being pushy. They are great at helping you "see" what the dress will look like after alterations and just make the experience overall wonderful. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

If you are very small, I'm willing to bet the experience is better. In the savvy bride side, there's a flower wall for pictures, good lighting, champagne, cute robes that say "bride" on the back, several stations for try on. In the haute & co side (the "plus size" side) the walls are grey and there are none of those things and there is one try on area. We scheduled for both places because the bride was between sizes. When we arrived, we were told her "street size" was off and that her bridal size was 2 or more sizes up, so we had to go next door to haute & co. We were told we showed up late and the sales specialist was frustrated because we weren't going to get the "full experience" I went back and checked the chat and we weren't late. We scheduled for 11:30 and she said we were scheduled for 11. She told us to "please keep in mind that she has a 12:30 back *here*" (here was the skinny side). Luckily the bride is really low maintenance and didn't fuss but, all told it was laughable. If you want to make people feel special and included: make the experience the same. We have been laughing about how bad the experience was compared to our second location since we left. Emphasizing how low maintenance the bride is, the second location was where we found the dress after about 2.5 hours total including both spots. It was perfect, flattering, and in the same place as the skinny bride dresses. read more

Savvy Bride Boutique - Chat confirming appointment time - Bridal Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is AMAZING! we were given mimosas and all the staff was so nice & helpful. Taylor was my stylist and she found me soooo many beautiful dresses to try on. She really made the whole appointment feel like a celebration. She picked dresses in and out of my comfort zone and I actually ended up buying a dress that was out of my comfort zone but is beautiful. I actually left without buying anything but came back 2 hours later because i couldn't stop thinking about THE dress. Mycal was also super helpful, outgoing and made the buying portion of my time there easy and not stressful. 5/5 and would recommend to anyone! Plus the prices are AMAZING! read more

I found my dress! After 7 months of on-and-off searching all over Charlotte, Savvy Bride was finally the bridal shop that helped me find "the one!" Up to this point, I visited Winnie Couture, J Majors and Hayden Olivia Bridal multiple times. While these shops had beautiful options and wonderful staff, they wouldn't work with me on price when I kept falling in love with $3k+ dresses -- it seemed crazy to spend that much! I even traveled outside of Charlotte to outlets to try to find something beautiful but still affordable. About to give up on North Carolina and start traveling to other states, I made an apt at Savvy Bride because I heard their prices start at $1200. I was shocked on arrival how beautiful the shop was - just as nice as all the other "expensive" ones. We were offered champagne on arrival and we're assigned a bridal attendant, Marina, who was awesome. This was by far my absolute favorite selection of all the stores I've gone to. There were multiple dresses I could have happily gone home with - we had 4 finalists we all loved! There honestly wasn't one "bad" dress I put on. What I like about this place is that Nicole (store owner) hand selects the ones she adds to her shop, no strict partnerships with 1-3 designers, so there's dozens of different designers to chose from with plenty of variety. This also means that you're not forced to buy something that's "in season" or a dress you've already seen another girl wear on Instagram 6x. The store was filled with what looked like a hundred dresses you can either buy "off the rack" or samples you can order, just depends on what they're carrying. The ones "off the rack" are more affordable, and that's actually what I ended up purchasing. My dress has beautiful lace and sequence, intricate beading and a lengthy train - something you would think would be $3k but it was one of the least expensive ones I tried on! Buying off the rack means that you're getting something one of a kind, and even though I had plenty of time to order one, this was a value add to me to 1) take it home that day! and 2) save money on alterations as it will only require minimal work. Thank you to the Savvy Bride team for the wonderful hospitality in your store and helping me find the dress of my dreams! read more

Savvy Bride Boutique - Said yes to the dress, and I got to take it home that day! - Bridal Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Surprised that there are only 2 reviews! Scheduled an appointment on Sunday afternoon. The customer service is excellent. I chose 4 bridal dresses to try on, and the sales recommended one more which turned out to be better than the ones I chose. Their dresses are ready-to-go, since you cannot order a new dress but can only do the alternation. Very suitable for brides who do not want to wait for months and months. The downside of this is that there are limited choices; for my size, there are less than 20. read more

I walked by Savvy at night during a private event and thought it looked cute from outside so I went back the next day to see what they offer. We walked in and stood there for a little. Everyone looked at us, but no one said anything. Eventually, I called out to someone and was told I could look online and she confirmed for me they do appointments (Note: anyone that can't explain their business to me in person and tells me to "google them" I AUTOMATICALLY question). The girl made me feel awkward for being there and inquiring about it. When I asked to briefly look around at the space (to see if it's worth doing a private event/layout/if there's a big selection because it doesn't look like it from the front) the employee gave me a weird look/response like I couldn't even lay eyes on the store without an appointment. I found it very off-putting. A lot of wedding industry people tend to act like snobs. As someone whose marketing and events for big companies it's NOT the way to go. I could've easily done what I came there to do without them noticing since they never asked why we were there yet when I was respectful by asking they made me feel weird. Why would I make an appointment and pay for something if I have no idea what you have to offer me? How do I know I even want to be there? I thought it would be my place and I wouldn't go to another store, but now I don't know. I didn't like the vibe at all from the person I spoke to. It tells me how they'll treat the experience and my guests - like snobs. Gave me the ick and not want an appointment let alone a private one‍. UPDATE: The owner responded and did not make excuses so although I did not get a good first impression, for that reason I am updating my review rating so it doesn't reflect poorly on their score. I agree the employee probably assumed I wanted to look through the dresses although I stated that was not the case. I understand the need for an appointment and would never take away from the other brides. I think what would make a difference is just explaining what you did in your message in person. All I wanted to know was exactly that (your business process/the experience your store offers) so I could see if it's for me as all bridal stores do things differently. Yes, I could've gone online, but I walked there in person to see the inside for a reason. In my experience as a bridesmaid, a lot of bridal company's are very rude to the bride and her bridal party once they receive your business and you're locked in. As the now future bride, I DONT want my family and friends experiencing that or being treated that way. Wedding planning is stressful enough. A kind, helpful, and informative staff goes a long way. read more

Anastasia was AMAZING!!! It was my friends first time trying on dresses and Anastasia put her in a little of everything and then listened to all the things she loved from each dress and we found the perfect match. I would highly recommend savvy. Great quality dresses, service, and even parking! read more

Had a great experience here! Had to get a dress last minute and they were extremely accommodating and helpful through the process. I can't remember the names of the girls that helped me but they were amazing to work with. So friendly and down to earth and just nice! Made it an enjoyable process. read more

Brides! Run, don't walk! We worked with Lex to find my perfect dress! She was FANTASTIC! I felt 0 pressure. She gave her opinions respectfully, which I really appreciated. She had a ton of knowledge about the dresses. She knew how to fit my body type and I didn't feel self-conscious at all. The boutique is beautiful. Very clean and following CDC guidelines. They have tons of gowns to choose from. I was so excited to say "yes to the dress" with Savvy! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Their selection, service, and staff were INCREDIBLE! The inside is beautiful. They really take the time to get to know what the bride is looking for and provide guidance and expertise along the way. Lex was my stylist and did a phenomenal job of helping me through the process. Would recommend her and the boutique again and again. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! read more

I would like to start this review off with the fact of how beautiful and well-thought of Savvy Bridals space is; as soon as you walk in the door it starts your experience off wonderful! My best friend is getting married in April and scheduled an appointment, as soon as we all arrived we were welcomed and greeted with beverages! We were escorted to a quaint room, again well decorated, and this space was just for us so the experience and time with our bride was intimate while she tried on dresses! Jessie assisted the bride with try ons, and she was very kind and quick. Her goal was for our bride to be able to try on as many as she could for the experience, and to not waste our time! Jessie was wonderful and we would highly recommend her service as well as Savvy Bride! read more

I could not recommend Savvy more!! Emma was the absolute best stylist and had such a great eye for finding dresses that I liked. Truly unmatched service and so many choices! The layout for the fitting rooms and viewing area was so lovely and private. It honestly felt like the movies! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I said yes to my dress here, because it was the one dress I refused to take off. What I loved was Sydney (sorry if spelled wrong, our stylist) she was honest, she wasn't pushy, she wanted want me in my dress not a dress. She helped me come and make my decision, but on my own. She was awesome! What I ended up with was exactly me and helped us stick with our budget. She was amazing, literally want her at my wedding. Everyone was so kind and wonderful without being fake (went to a bridal shop where everyone was overly complimentary and Oo you need this dress, get this dress, this is the one). Gave me ideas of how they will alter it, doubled bagged my dress because my fiancé would be with me (traveled to NC for personal reasons). Plus working with us to get something custom made! She styled my hair even to give me an idea of how my vail will look. Loved them!! Everyone needs to get their dress here! read more

Trianna is who I worked with and she is so kind and sweet!!! she listened to what I wanted and helped pick out and give suggestions that were exactly what I wanted!!! she was energetic and relationally gifted! she was born to do this! the rest of the staff were very helpful and being so patient with our schedule and everything! would 100% suggest shopping for your dream dress at Savvy Bride! read more

This place was amazing! It's the 5th bridal shop I've been to in the area and the experience was just perfect. Nicole spent 3 hours with me (and the 6 people I brought along) and offered us mimosas, waters, and champagne. She was very patient as I tried things on (some more than once) and as my friends kept bringing more dresses over. She did a great job finding dresses and accessories that fit my preferences, and even did my hair in a cute way so the veil would stay on! The shop carries off the rack dress options at a discount, which is a great way to get a beautiful dress within budget. They offer a 5 day waiting period with a deposit, a payment plan, and I was told that if I change my mind/get dress regret, I can exchange the dress before alterations. There was also a sign that said if you buy your dress there, they offer 10% off of accessories. The financial aspect of the shop was very appealing, and the options were seemingly limitless, but the customer service blew us away. I'd recommend this shop to anyone. I'm almost sad I bought my dress and don't have a reason to come back! P.S. - there was an adorable array of bridal temporary tattoos. I'm hoping my friends left some for everyone else. read more

Everyone I came in contact with at Savvy Bridal was very helpful & welcoming! First, they have SO many dresses to try on including my Mon Bijou dress which hasn't even been released online yet. My stylist was great & picked out a dress she thought I would like based off of what I liked/disliked about other dresses I tried on, and it ended up being the dress I will get married in! Not only did she help me pick a dress, she also helped provide calming advice and comedic relief when I was clearly uncomfortable showing off dresses and hearing reactions from family/friends. I don't like being the center of attention so this was huge for me. Finally, when I returned to the boutique to purchase the dress I chose the ladies helped make me feel special about saying "yes" to the dress! I was shocked when I saw that the dress I chose was within my budget & less than I thought it would be. I highly recommend Savvy Bridal Boutique to any future bride! read more

I absolutely loved my experience with savvy bride. Although I ultimately did not choose my wedding gown from savvy my associate and experience were top notch. This is the first bridal shop I went to and came with an open mind. The bridal suites are cute but I will say when more people show up and they get more full it does get loud and take away the experience your trying to have, but they do have a VIP option to rent the entire place out so that doesn't occur. They pull two rounds of dresses for you each with 6 dresses and I'm not sure if they allow brides to browse as well but my mom and future MIL browsed while I was changing and the associate was so sweet in allowing them to choose a couple for me to try on through the process. For inventory it seems like they have a larger section than a couple other boutiques I went to as well. They pulled my first round completely broad and from my likes and dislikes then curated a perfect second round of dresses for me. I ended up falling in love with two dresses and ultimately was going to return to buy one of the dresses when I ended up having my moment I never thought I would have an cried when trying on another dress at another boutique. I could never thank savvy bride enough for the amazing experience I had while there and for helping me so much in figuring out what I wanted to wear for my big day :) read more

The sales associate assigned to us was not very accommodating or very friendly. It's supposed to be a fun, memorable moment trying on wedding dresses. It was not welcoming at all. read more

This is like a used car place. You have 90 minutes to decide and if you don't know you have to give them $200 for them to hold it or just go. I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. The girl who helped us was rude and to be honest the prices aren't that great. I could have gotten the same not off the rack dress from Poffie Girls for cheaper. But even that aside, don't let the cute flower wall fool you. Go to Hayden Olivia for an actual good, non pressured, higher quality experience. read more

My best friend found her dream dress here! Such a cute and awesome place! Staff were amazing!

From the moment we stepped in, until the moment we left everything was perfect. Michael was absolutely amazing and literally found my dress within his first two pics!! He worked my budget perfectly. Funny story is that the appointment was not even for me. While another bride friend had an appointment but already found her dress at the first store, left us with a non-refundable appointment. My wedding is over a year away, while I just planned to get an idea of styles, I left with an entire dress!! Again, Michael is amazing at his job and even made the FaceTime moments with my mom special (again, appointment was not planned and I was so sad she missed it but he made it feel like she was there!!) read more

My daughter had an appointment at Savvy Bride for her first gown shopping experience . We couldn't have been more impressed. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming from the moment we walked into Savvy . Breck was AWESOME ! Kind, knowledgeable, professional and personable. She was a great listener and honored my daughter's preferences and input. The ENTIRE staff was awesome- s/o to Savannah ! If you are anywhere NEAR Savvy Bride - GO !!!! Thank you for a fun experience! read more

Savvy Bride was the first stop on my dress shopping journey and I am so glad it was! Spacious dressing room, assistance getting into and out of dresses, a lot of natural light and helpful stylists. read more

If I could give a negative star I would! I just had my fiancé come home heartbroken because you guys can't get your s*** together. This was supposed to be a magical experience and we have paid over 2k for a dress that is beyond wrinkled and is HUGE. Your staff is beyond terrible, money hungry, and doesn't care once the payment is made. Do better. read more

Amazing!! I bought my dress today 3/25/19 and had a wonderful experience. I'm a street size 12 so i wasn't sure if I'd need a 14 or 16 in bridal dresses. Savvy's other store (just one building over), Haute & Co carries 16+ while Savvy goes up to 14. We started at Savvy and I needed to walk over to Haute & Co but i still tries on a few dresses at Savvy to get an idea of the silhouette I liked. Mycal helped me find my dress and he was awesome!! He was super helpful and friendly but not overbearing or pushy. The prices are also definitely right here! They have a nice selection as well. He also picked out a beautiful veil that PERFECTLY matched my gown. I was so happy! I highly recommend Savvy/Haute & Co to any bride. :) read more

I bought my wedding dress here about a month ago and still can't get over how wonderful my experience was! My mom and I worked with Mycal and had a really great time. He offered us champagne, mimosas and water on arrival. He sat down with us and asked specifically what I was looking for and then gave us the opportunity to pull dresses. It was so fun! He actually picked out the dress that I ended up taking home! The environment is super nice and comfortable. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Keep up the awesome work guys! read more

Just bought my wedding dress today and could not have been more please with Savvy. From the time I booked my appointment they let me know what safety precautions they'd taken since the COVID 19 outbreak, and I was the only bride in the boutique for my fitting. Avery, who was helping me, was wonderful. I didn't know what style I was looking for, and she was patient with me and pulled some phenomenal choices. Also, Savvy has an incredible selection of dresses to try on, very size inclusive. I'm so happy to have found this place! read more

I am a plus size bride and to be honest, I was terrified about wedding dress shopping! I was sure there wouldn't be anywhere that had a dress for me to try on and I would have to just order something with a prayer that I liked it on. Then someone pointed me toward Savvy Bride and my entire experience changed! Since the first time messaging them on their website, they have been over the moon helpful and supportive. During dress shopping experience, Mycal blew me away with his positivity, kindness, creativity, and understanding! Their entire staff was amazing from the moment I entered the door. I will send every bride I know to Savvy from here on out! Thank you Mycal and the Savvy crew for making my day so special and washing my anxiety away! read more

This is a beautiful shop with incredible options. You are given a 1 1/2 hour appointment time. The problem is if you hit your appointment time end, they are done and you are done. My daughter was 99% sure she found THE ONE. However, we weren't even given the option to say we were ready to buy the dress. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Avery at Savvy Bride. I am from out of town, but was visiting with friends for the weekend. We opted for the "champagne campaign" which was well laid out and a fun treat for my friends -- really made the whole thing feel like a fun and celebratory moment. Avery was SUPER helpful. We tried on countless dresses and she helped me narrow down what I was drawn to, what worked best for me, and importantly what I did not like. She was INCREDIBLY patient with my indecisiveness, and was kind enough to stay beyond my allotted appointment time. She was present enough to help guide the appointment, but not overbearing or pushing her personal views/preferences -- something I had experienced elsewhere before. Savvy bride has a diverse selection of dresses and the shop is well laid out -- with lots of private spaces so you don't feel "on display" in front of everyone. Would highly recommend! read more

This was the first bridal shop that my daughter and I had an appointment with. We were offered champagne, mimosas, or water when we first arrived. The stylist sat down with us and listened to what my daughter's vision was for her day. Since bridal sizing is approximately 2 sizes up, we need to walk across the parking lot to their sister store, Haute and Co (also owned by Savvy). Absolutely beautiful gowns! Some were available for order while most were off the rack. My daughter tried on several gowns to get a feel for the shape and style she wanted. She found her perfect gown and it is stunning with a very reasonable price tag. We were never pressured to purchase and were allowed plenty of time. They also have payment plans which may be helpful for some. Excellent experience! Highly recommend this bridal store! read more

Savvy Bride Boutique was an awesome experience I would recommend to anyone looking for their wedding gown. Kayla was wonderful and so helpful in finding the right gown for me. It was a fun shopping experience and I got a great deal on my dream dress! read more
