    The BEST experience!

    The best bridal shop with the best people! Courtney was such a huge help in helping me find my dream dress! She has outstanding customer service and knowledge of all the gowns they carry to know exactly what to pull! I had the best experience and loved every second!

    Amazing from start to finish!

    I am still in shock from yesterday’s appointment. I came in for my first ever try-on with my only intention being to get an idea of what I liked and how much my dream dress would be. From the minute I walked in, my consultant Cassidy, was so sweet and bubbly; taking the time to listen to what I liked and helping me in and out of dresses. I tried on several that I thought were the look I was going for, until I took my MIL’s advice and tried on something out of my comfort zone. IT WAS THE ONE. Cassidy got accessories for me to tie it all together and worked up an amazing deal that I couldn’t pass up, and just like that, I walked out of my first ever appointment with my wedding dress!!! I can’t wait to come back and get my alterations done and continue working with Southern Bride to get me ready to walk down the isle!!!

    The BEST time!

    Grace was great! She took everything I had to say and helped me find the PERFECT dress! She also wasn’t overbearing or pressuring. I had a large group with me and she was awesome with them too!!

    Exceeded my expectations!

    I came in looking for a wedding dress and I was blown away by the customer service. They were all so sweet and helpful. They answered all our questions and made sure I was taken care of. Courtney was like the friend you didn’t know you had. I say that because she’s so nice that I felt like I’ve known her for a while. Their dresses are beautiful and affordable. The dress I choose is so beautiful. I didn’t pick my dress, Courtney did! When she first brought it to me, it wasn’t the style I had been looking for, so I didn’t think I would like it. I really only tried to to be nice lol. I was seriously mistaken!!!! Courtney has an eye for what she does. The moment I put the dress on I was in love. The way it moved and the way it fit was perfect. I’m so glad we decided to go to Southern Bride!

    Amazing Experience

    It was an amazing experience from start to finish at Southern Bride! To start with, they help prepare a couple of dresses before my appointment that were ready when I arrived. They truly listened to what I liked and disliked to help find the perfect dress for my special day. Lara helped make a wonderful experience to find the dress for me! Then we had time with my guests to celebrate, enjoy some champagne, and relax. Couldn’t recommend Southern Bride more!

    Once in a lifetime experience

    Jamie and Katie made my appointment so amazing! From the minute me and my party arrived we were taken care of. I was able to take my time picking out what dresses I wanted to try on and Jamie even convinced me to try on some I didn’t think I would like but actually became one of my favorites! We got to sip champagne (and cider) and have yummy snacks while I found my perfect dress!!! Thank you Southern Bride for helping me find the dress to marry the love of my life!

    The perfect experience

    Emma made my wedding dress shopping experience so special & one to remember. She immediately calmed my nerves by explaining the process & made me feel like I had another friend shopping with me! She was so knowledgeable, patient, and made all my guests feel welcome. I am so thankful that she helped me find the dress of my dreams!

    Do yourself a favor and go here first!

    Southern Bride was my first shop that I made an appointment with to look for my wedding dress. I had other appointments with other bridal shops thinking it would take me some time to fine “the one”. As soon as I walked through the door I saw my dress and knew that was the one! I am head over heels in love and I cannot wait for my fiancé to see me in this dress on our wedding day. Maddie, Katie, and the other staff at this shop were fabulous. I have already recommended them to two other friends who are newly engaged! Thank you so much for everything ❤️

    Speechless and the best ever

    The most friendly staff and a wide variety of dresses! I was so torn about finding a dress and Courtney was so patient with me and truly helped talk me through a lot. I never felt pressured about buying anything, she just gave me her true opinions which is what I needed! I would HIGHLY suggest Southern Bride for the CUTEST Bridal Boutique in NC!!!!!!!

    Emily is the best

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Emily at Southern Bride. I came here on the first day of their National Sale (which you cannot beat the sale prices they had). I came here after another dress appointment and I thought I already had my dress picked out at the other place, and I picked out a few mermaid/trumpet dresses. I felt like nothing was looking right on me and Emily kept asking me what did I like or dislike about each dress. Her and my maid of honor were just feeding off of what I gave them and went back and forth finding dresses that kept adding what I liked. We found a dress that had everything, but it was white. So she finds it in a champagne color and I cried. I thought the crying part of dress shopping was so dramatic, but GIRLS, DON'T SETTLE UNTIL YOU FIND THE DRESS THAT ILLICITS EMOTION.

    Emily was so patient with me, really listened to what I was looking for, and found me a perfect fit and flare dress which wasn't what I thought I wanted, until it was. She also gave me options for headpieces and advice on alterations and was on it from the time I walked into the store until I left with a stupid smile on my face. I can't wait to see the stupid smile he'll have when I walk down the aisle with it.

    I loved Southern Bride!

    I thought I knew what I wanted in a dress until I put it on my body. I was so unsure after I tried on what I considered to be my “dream dress”. Courtney helped me to branch out and eventually find the perfect dress! She was so attentive and patient. I’m so glad I got to work with her.

    10/10 recommend Southern Bride!

    Jamie was extremely helpful, kind, and patient during the process of helping me find my perfect dress. She facilitated a fun, exciting, and special experience both for my initial consult with my family and for my second solo visit where I said “yes to the dress!”

    Simply Magical!

    My girls and I had such a lovely experience. It was very private and intimate and they gave us champagne and a nice gift! Courtney worked with me on the price of my dress so that I could have the dream dress I wanted, and they had a smaller but unique selection! Alterations are done in house and it was easy to set up time for that as well! Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend to anyone!

    Loved every minute

    I booked the private room so my ladies could relax while we shopped. They sipped on mimosas and nibbled on fruits and chocolates. Courtney took her time and really listened to what I had to say. I struggled to put my thoughts into words, but she helped me find the perfect dress for me.

    Unparalleled experience

    Highly recommend Southern Bride! The space is beautiful and inviting, they have a fantastic selection of gowns, and ALL the staff is friendly and helpful.

    Kati especially, worked closely with me to help me find the perfect dress! She is knowledgeable and patient and so encouraging!

    Their sale prices are also phenomenal. I got my perfect dress for 51% off the original sticker price!!

    Thankful for Southern Bride!

    100000% recommend

    Best bridal experience ever!! I’ve been to other places, but I’ve never felt so welcomed, valued, and secure in myself than this location!

    I booked my appointment the same day! Courtney is the BEST consultant! She texted me and asked for inspiration, ideas, what I liked, ideas, etc. when I arrived, Courtney helped me pick out some dresses and pushed me out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad she did! She picked out my DREAM DRESS!! I’m picky!!! It was in my budget after she pulled some strings and helped everything work out! I couldn’t be more happy.

    Thank you!

    A true “say YES to the dress” experience!

    My experience at Southern Bride was one I will truly never forget. In my own private suite with people who loved me, and Kati, who worked so hard to allow me to leave with the dress of my dreams! I truly felt as if I had a “say yes to the dress” experience at Southern Bride.

    Best experience ever

    Cassidy was the Absolute BEST person to help me in this big decision. She made me so comfortable with her and made the whole experience fun. I didn’t think I would find the dress at the first place I went but I knew it was the one and I’m so glad Cassidy was the one helping me!

    Southern Bride's reply:

    Bethany,
    Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy to hear you had a great time with our team! We can't wait to see photos of you on your big day!
    XOXO,
    Southern Bride Team

    I said “YES” to the dress!!!!!

    Gabrielle was AMAZING and helped me find the PERFECT dress for my big day! Before my appointment she had me send her ideas of what I wanted. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I was completely happy with my choices. She went over every detail and even checked in with me afterward to see if I had any questions. The whole process was stress free and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Gabrielle if your looking for “the dress”!!

    Amazing Place/People

    I found my dream dress at Southern Bride over the weekend and I couldn’t have done it without the help of Cassidy. She went above and beyond for me (at the end of her day I might add) and helped me figure out my true style in what I wanted - because I had the complete wrong idea. I will always recommend them now to the newly engaged! :)

    dress shopping here was A DREAM!

    I had an AMAZING experience at Southern Bride. Gabrielle made my time dress shopping so easy and fun. I loved that the space was open, but was also private with each bride and her party getting their own little seating and try on area. They even provided sparkling cider and a sweet gift bag for me. I am so glad I said yes to the dress at Southern Bride!
