About

Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire is a boutique for brides, grooms and wedding parties, prom goers and gift-givers to shop with ease, discover new options, dream about the possibilities and be encouraged along the way.

Bridal Traditions opened with the idea that brides (and prom-goers) should feel beautiful, and truly be seen and heard while shopping for a gown, even if they were buying on a budget. More than 20 years later, Bridal Traditions remains a beloved institution in North Wilkesboro and Western North Carolina. Our reputation for being authentic, casual, inclusive and fun makes us a go-to bridal boutique in the region. We are NOT a big bridal store, nor are we online hucksters. Most of our gowns are under $1K and our knowledgable, friendly staff are ready to help.

The answer is YESSS

Love this place and girls! They are super sweet and kind! Had a wonderful experience buying my wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses, and grooms suits here! All our items arrived in great condition and earlier than expected! The grooms rented their suits and everything fit perfectly! I highly recommend checking this place out!

Last Minute Wedding Dress

My husband and I had a super short (6 week) engagement. I showed up to Bridal Traditions 4 weeks before our wedding after having a bad experience at David's Bridal and winding up with a dress that just didn't feel like me. I walked in to Bridal Traditions without an appointment and the staff were so sweet and accommodating. They set me up with a stylist on the spot who helped me pick and try on dresses. They had a great selection of plus size dresses that were super flattering and I ultimately purchased my dream dress from them. I can't express what a great experience I had with them.

Kelly from Bridal Traditions is great to work with and they have a wonderful selection of bridal and prom attire (and affordable). We worked with Kelly on a recent styled session and the gown, accessories, and grooms attire were all stunning! I look forward to working with Bridal Traditions again and referring brides to their lovely store!
