Lucy S. Sent on 05/13/2024Great for Plus-Size Brides!
Charlotte's was such a welcoming place for me, a plus-size bride who was very nervous that I'd need to be "trying on" size 6 dresses that would never give me a real idea of how a dress would look on me. Charlotte's made all my dreams come true, having a wonderful selection of dresses in plus size samples. I found my dress on my first appointment, and received so many compliments at my wedding.
I have also used Charlotte's for other services: steam/press and dress preservation. They also recommended an alteration company that was fabulous.
I could tell they also have a wonderful selection of straight-size dresses, so I will be telling any future brides I know to go to Charlotte's!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Lucy,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so thrilled that your experience at Charlotte's made your dreams come true and that you found the perfect dress for your wedding day! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share about your experience and wish you nothing but unbridled joy in your marriage!
Best,
Charlotte's -

Amanda B. Sent on 10/06/2022The best experience!
Charlotte's Weddings was my third stop on my first day of dress shopping. Earlier that day I hadn't found anything I was really in love with and was kind of underwhelmed with the experience. My stylist Ruby listened so well to what my experience had been earlier that day and I feel like she really understood what I liked and didn't like. I am not the most enthusiastic shopper but I feel like Ruby made it as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Every dress I tried on at Charlotte's was such high quality (way nicer than any of the other places I had been) and I literally could have picked any of the dresses and been happy! My mom and sister were also super impressed with the experience and felt like Ruby really cared and was thoughtful about what dresses she had me try on. It really was the best experience and I would highly recommend if you're in the Portland area!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Amanda! Thank you so much for your sweet words, I loved helping you find your wedding gown. Your mom and sister were so amazing and supportive during your appointment and everything we tried on was beautiful on you! Your dress is everything you were looking for and is truly meant to be your gown, I can't wait to see photos from your day!
Love, Ruby -

Erin Sent on 09/24/2022Highly recommend!
I recently bought my dress from Charlotte’s and working with Stephanie made the experience so special. She was attentive, kind, funny, supportive, and so patient! I got stuck deciding between two dresses and she let me take my time and work through my vision for the day. It felt like shopping with a good friend rather than a stylist I just met. The store itself is amazing and the private rooms were beautiful. Can’t recommend enough!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much and congratulations Erin! I was so proud and happy to help you come to a decision. Every step we took were the ones you were meant to take to find "the one". You looked so beautiful, and I am so excited for you to see your gown again! Thank you and again for taking the time to post the review, and thank you for trusting me on such a big day! Congrats! -Stephanie :) -

E. Go Sent on 05/20/2023I knew when I found my wedding dress.
I researched to find the best store for a plus-sized bride. There were very few options, and I searched from Seattle to Salem. I knew I would have the best experience at a store like Charlotte’s, where I would not only be able to order a dress in my size but also have dresses I could try on in-store. I was nervous about going wedding dress shopping because I’d heard horror stories from other plus-sized brides on the internet. But Charlotte’s was a dream come true. Melanie was so sweet and encouraging. We sat and talked about what I might want, and she let me try many styles, even some I would never pick but just wanted to see. She listened to what I wanted and curated her picks so well. She respected my budget, and I left the first time thinking I had found the dress. Then I brought my uncle the second time, and Melanie was so accommodating, and we found the dress! It was lovely on the hanger, as most dresses are, but once I tried it on, it was the one. I even tried on another dress, and nothing could change my feelings. I knew when I found Sean; he was the one. I knew when I found my engagement ring; it still gives me butterflies when I wear and see it. And I knew when I found my wedding dress.Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Hi Emily! I can't believe your wedding has passed, it feels like just yesterday you came in for the first time! I had such a blast helping you find your dream dress! You are such a wonderful person and I am so happy you had a great experience. Thank you so much for the amazing review, I can't wait to see pictures of your big day! You deserve nothing but the best. -Melanie -

Great Customer Service
I had the most amazing time trying on gowns at Charlottes. Jen, my consultant, was so personable and it really felt like she was one of my friends. She brought me dresses that had everything I was asking for as well as some outside of the box that I ended up loving. She listened to my feedback plus made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I was so happy to say yes to the dress today and become a charlottes bride. Their customer service and quality of dresses put them above any other shop that I visited. Thanks again Jen!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Congratulations, Marissa! I am so glad your friends and your mom got to be a part of your moment. It made it that much more special. You looked incredible and I cannot wait to see you in your gown on the big day! Sincerely, Jen -

Stephanie is amazing! She made our appointment special and fun! She helped find my dress that is a mix of what I thought I wanted and what I wouldn’t have picked out if she didn’t suggest it. She was so sweet to my bridesmaids and mother. She cried with us when I said YES to the dress! Thank you for a special day!!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Melissa! Thank you for taking the time to share your review! From the minute I met you and your gang, I was determined to make sure you all had a magical experience. You are so beautiful and funny, and I am so thrilled you found a gown that celebrated you and your day! Congratulations!!!-Stephanie -

Megan D. Sent on 12/04/2021Amazing! I feel so blessed!
I’m so lucky to have found Charlotte’s. I wanted a small, family owned shop that would be personal and intimidate and they really hit that mark! They were very professional, supportive, and made sure I had everything I needed. Briana was so sweet and made me feel comfortable.Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much Megan! I feel so lucky to be a part of your wedding story. It was so much fun getting to know you and your people and I can't wait to see you when you come back to pick up your dress! - Briana -

Amazing Experience!
Charlotte’s Bridal Shop was absolutely amazing, totally exceeded my expectations! Melanie was my stylist and she listened to me, made me feel comfortable, helped address my concerns and worked her magic. As a plus size bride I was very anxious about dress shopping, but she helped me feel absolutely beautiful and I walked away with the dress of my dreams. Thank you to Melanie and the whole Charlotte’s team- you were absolutely incredibly!!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:

My experience was amazing from the start! Making my appointment was super easy & they responded quickly. My stylist Melanie was simply amazing, she figured out exactly what I wanted and helped me narrow it down! I found my perfect dress & it was because of her! As a plus size bride I expected to have to Check a few places but Charlotte’s had so many options, I highly recommend you start here!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Nicole you are so amazing! Thank you for all the kind words and I am so happy you had fun! I had such a blast seeing you in the different dresses and meeting your family.. your wedding is going to be spectacular! Sincerely, Melanie -
![Laura]()
Laura S. Sent on 12/15/2020Outstanding Dress Shopping Experience
I highly recommend wedding dress shopping at Charlotte's - especially with Ellie. Ellie did a phone call the night before and got to know me and the details of my wedding, so that when I arrived she had already pulled several dresses that I LOVED (i.e. "the one"). Also, my family attended via zoom, and Ellie was so kind in accommodating that. I found my dream dress within 30 minutes. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Hi Laura!! Congratulations again on finding your dream gown! You looked stunning in every gown you tried on but I could tell that the Allure gown gave you all the feels from the moment you stepped into it, it is such an amazing dress. I am so happy for you and I had so much fun getting to work with you and chatting with your family on Zoom, the signs they made were fantastic and made the whole Zoom experience feel very special. Thank you again for trusting me to help you find your perfect dress!
Sincerely, Ellie -

Kailee M. Sent on 09/10/2019Best Experience!!
I was so nervous coming into my appointment and had no idea what to expect. Marj helped me with every step and made me so comfortable. She was absolutely amazing and I loved working with her. She listened to everything I had to say and I knew I had found the dress when I tried on the second dress. What an amazing experience. Lots of happy tears were shed! -
![Lexi]()
Lexi Sent on 02/26/2020The BEST Portland Bridal Shop
I can't say enough amazing things about Charlotte's Weddings and their team (especially Stephanie)! I started dress shopping in May 2019 and Charlotte's was the fourth shop I visited - and WOW my experience with Stephanie stood out. She listened to all my needs, helped me explore every style/detail option and narrow down on what I realized I wanted (I originally had no idea and she was instrumental in helping me figure out what was best for me). I found *the one* that day, though wasn't ready to purchase - felt absolutely no pressure from Stephanie. Without wanting to leave any stone unturned, I had appointments at every Portland bridal shop and tried on 70+ dresses over the next few months (yes, apparently I'm that crazy person haha). No other experience could even come cIose in comparison - Stephanie is the best consultant in this city, they have the best dress selections, kindest staff, and welcoming environment. I came back with my sister/maid of honor in the summer and specifically asked to work with Stephanie again, us three had SO MUCH FUN (seriously, can she be my best friend?) and I officially said yes to my dress. Charlotte's was excellent with my order communications, too. My dress was supposed to arrive in late January, they started giving me status updates in December and kept me fully up-to-date on what ended up being a February arrival - not a problem for me whatsoever, and I really appreciated them being so on top of communications. Before my dress arrived, my future mother-in-law was visiting in early January and we scheduled an appointment to try on my dress style so she could see it in person (again, with Stephanie) - Charlotte's was so accommodating and made the experience with my FMIL so special, even though I'd already ordered my dress. Stephanie calmed my worrisome mind (Me: "Are we 100% sure this type of alteration is possible?" multiple times haha) and gave me her business card to call/email if I had any questions, worries, anything dress related because my dress "should not be the cause of ANY wedding stress." Picking up my dress was so easy, I'm in love with it, and I can't wait for our big day. THANK YOU Charlotte's Weddings and Stephanie - you truly are Portland's best! -

Stephanie is absolutely amazing! She makes you feel really special and wants to make sure you find the dress of your dreams! She knows what she is doing and she makes your visit super fun and comfortable! Definitely a place I would send my friends to when they start looking for their wedding gowns! Thank you for everything Stephanie you have made my wedding gown shopping that much more special! -

Emma C. Sent on 01/29/2020Melanie = Miraculous!
Working with Melanie at Charlotte's truly made the process of finding my dress so easy and fun. I had no clue what I wanted going into my appointment, but by the end of the day I had found the perfect dress, all thanks to Melanie's attentive listening and desire to make me feel like a beautiful bride! She was warm and easy to work with, and my mom and sisters expressed their appreciation for her days after the appointment as well. I'll never forget my experience, and I'd recommend working with Melanie at Charlotte's to any bride looking for her dream dress!Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Can we all just say how much we love this!!!! Emma, we are so excited for you and congrats on finding the perfect gown!! -

Allie L. Sent on 02/03/2020So thrilled!
Absolutely loved my experience here and Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She listened to what my vision was for my day and selected a few gowns for me to try on, one of which turned out to be THE ONE and I couldn’t be more thrilled! She made everything so easy and stress-free, it felt like having a friend helping me out rather than someone I’d just met. Highly recommend Charlotte’s (and Stephanie!) to any other brides out there looking for their dream dress.Charlotte's Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much Allie for your kind words! We are so excited that Stephanie helped you find "the one" and we can't wait to see you wearing your dream dress on your wedding day! Congratulations again! -

Kylie G. Sent on 01/10/2020Warm, personable, and SUPER HELPFUL!
Stephanie was my dress consultant and she was absolutely lovely! The whole staff at Charlotte's are so helpful and personable. I was nervous about the whole process, but Stephanie put my nerves at ease immediately and took the time to ask what I wanted and what I was looking for. I ended up finding my dress that same day and am so excited for my soon-to-be husband to see me in it later this year! Stephanie knew exactly what kind of style I was going for and even got me to try on a few I wouldn't have considered at first.
