A friend of mine raved about her experience and getting her dress here years ago. Another one of my…read morefriends was in search for a wedding dress and because of my other friend's experience, I suggested this spot! Happy to report that my friend found her dress! We were helped by Allie who was so patient with us from beginning to end. They have a cute dressing room for the bride to try on dresses. Allie helped my friend try on 5-6 dresses that we initially picked out, and she then brought 2-3 more to try based on the feedback we were providing throughout the fitting. After my friend picked her dress, we also asked about veils to which Allie picked a few out. She even went as far as bringing one from the back that had just been brought in. That newer veil ended up being the one my friend went home with. We were given complimentary champagne to toast to finding my friend's dress & veil. Overall, Allie and Cherie's Bridal made the process of finding a dress seamless. My friend (and I) had such a great experience overall. Local tailors were also provided to help with any alterations. Cherie's is accessible right off the parking lot (there's a direct entrance), and can also be reached through the inside of the Savage Mill building if you come in from the Big Lot.

I did not find my dress here, but had such a great experience I wanted to review it anyway. The…read morestaff at Cherie's were so helpful, and so kind. And I felt like they thought of everything, including having a fan in the changing room because it gets really hot trying on dresses! I loved the design of having my friend on a couch just outside the curtains so I didn't have to keep walking out of a room. They also had a great selection of dresses, at good prices (the ones I tried were between 1-3k). I also love the idea of buying secondhand bridal. If you are looking for a dress this is absolutely worth a stop!

I had a really nice appointment at The Bridal Boutique and Brooke was the perfect stylist for me…read more She worked with my style, budget, and comfort to make sure we found exactly what I wanted. She was very friendly and fun and still very professional. It's clear she has strong knowledge of her gowns and customer experience and service skills. We booked the VIP Experience and were a little disappointed that some of the features we expected like the ability to play our own music and requested fruit as part of the snacks were missing and not communicated, but that did not take away from the overall experience of feeling special and finding a fantastic dress. I decided to purchase at this store that is an hour away instead of one 10 minutes from me that had the same dress because of Brooke's customer service and how much communication around preferences and confirmation I got before the appointment. Looking forward to my first fitting and working with alterations on some customization of the gown and plan to update my review with details from that process.

A lot of the reviews talk about the experience and the service, but not many mention price. I…read morehighly recommend you inquire about and budget for alterations, import tariffs, fees, etc. when shopping for your dress to avoid unpleasant surprises down the road. This shop wanted almost half the cost of my dress for alterations alone, so I ended up finding a reputable seamstress elsewhere that did the same alterations for less. I will say that the service for the dress buying part of the experience was excellent. After that, I did not get the impression the store cared as much for the alterations to the same level as the dress purchase. If they had, I would have considered using them for the convenience of a one stop shop despite the price.

If I could give this store 10 stars, I would! I didn't realize how much a size-inclusive bridal…read moreshop is needed until I started my own hunt for a wedding dress. This store was my first try-on and I'm so glad it was! I opted for the VIP experience which included my own private suite, food and drinks for me and my friends and if you can financially swing it, DO IT!! My friends and I had the BEST time and nothing felt rushed, pressured or anything. I felt like a princess in the best way and it was great time to try on every style, ask questions, get educated on timelines. It was perfect. I went to other bridal shops after this location and the service and selection doesn't even compare. I will recommend CC to every plus-sized bride.

She was very accommodating and made suggestions to help me find a dress that worked for me. I was able to find a beautiful dress at her shop that needed a little tuck and hem for the ball. I ordered my mother of the groom dress and took it back to Alma for alterations. It was two sizes too big but she did an amazing job. She completed the alternations in a timely fashion and the fees were reasonable. I was very pleased with both dress and received tons of complements. I have already referred others to the shop and will be back for my next event.

My mom passed down her wedding dress to me, that was over 40 years old. Ama was able to restore, make some modern changes, and create a beautiful dress that fit me perfectly! I didn't realize how long something like this would take, so when I expressed the short deadline I had, Ama surprised me with her sense of urgency and worked overtime to make sure my experience and final product was everything I had hoped for. It actually turned out way better than I even thought! She was so sweet, personable, and extremely talented at what she does. The venue was intimate and you can tell she loves what she does. I couldn't have asked for better results and I would recommend this place to any bride looking for a stress free experience and the wedding dress of their dreams. She captured mine and my moms vision, while offering her own suggestions that made all the difference. Absolutely loved it!

I went to 5 stores before this one and noone did that! 3rd: She didn't stop at the dress, she put on belts, veils, whatever you wanted or was thinking she worked with it. I felt like I was on princess diaries as she transformed my look and made me feel like we will get there. 4th: I think we tried over 15 dresses on and then tried on my top 2 favorites again. She never bat an eye about that and was encouraging. I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! 5th: The bag they give you when you purchase your dress, cherry on top! Truly so special.
