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.

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.

I happen to find the place by chance because I was visiting a friend in Columbia. I called and Kiim said to come in. I then called back and said I'm the mother of the bride not the bride and plus size. Kim replied we have a nice selection for you as well and they specialize in plus sizes. After trying on a few gowns,.I found a beautiful gown that matched my daughter's color palette. Service was impeccable throughout the whole process from selecting and purchasing the gown, to picking it up, bringing it back for alterations and trying it on for the final fitting, I have to give big shout outs to everyone from the sales associate to the Seamstress to the owners. Kim, Alma, Yukia, Mycahya and Phoenix, Every time I visited, you made it stress free and fun. It's was impressive to see their selection of gowns, as they were high-end quality. They also had beautiful headbands with crystals if that's something you're looking for. The prices are fair and they worked with me on the cost of alterations. If you are looking for a gown and are plus sized, this is the place to go. A+ experience, truly professional, and flexible as they worked with me when I had to change the date of my final fitting. I'm ready for the wedding and I know I have a beautiful gown I will wear.

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.

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.
