I had two appointments at Lovely Bride before saying YES TO THE DRESS! After my first appointment I canceled with my other bridal appointments because I had such a great experience at Lovely! Nicole was my stylist and she was fantastic!! She made me feel so comfortable and after telling her what I was looking for she pointed me in the right direction. Overall it was a great experience. I had so much fun and felt confident after walking out of my appointment. Becoming a Lovely Bride is something I will never regret!!!
Nicole was FABULOUS!! She was friendly, warm, and sociable. She made this experience one I will never forget. They do a great job of exceeding expectations & explaining the process. I loved Lovely’s online dress book, where you select dresses you want to try on & get to preview their inventory. Nicole pulled many of the dresses I selected, plus some that I never thought to try on. I will ALWAYS recommend Lovely to future brides!
Nicole at Lovely Bride is AMAZING!!!! As a girl who dreaded prom dress shopping her whole life I was so hesitant to start the wedding dress process. After my appointment with Nicole I left so confident and excited. She is calm, kind, informative, and professional. We had the whole store to ourselves and never felt rushed, which is a stark contrast to other bridal stores. I ended up purchasing the first dress Nicole picked out for me. I will definitely be recommended this location to all friends and family!
I had a sub-par wedding dress shopping experience the day before I went to Lovely and was feeling unsure about the entire process - Nicole at Lovely Charleston changed everything! From accommodating us when we arrived 30 minutes early on accident, to truly listening to what I was looking for and bringing out dresses that felt like me - I could not have had a better wedding dress shopping experience. My mom, sisters and I are still talking about how much fun we had! I could have left with any dress she brought me and have been happy - she truly took time to understand my style and it showed.Well be back when my sisters are engaged to find their dresses :) Thank you Nicole and Lovely for an amazing experience!
Nicole was such a JOY!!! She made my first (and last) wedding dress appointment the best and most special day! This shop is aesthetically beautiful and very clean.
Did not plan on buying a dress, but Nicole was so sweet, genuine, and knew so much about what looks I wanted, I ended up falling in love with one of her picks. 10/10 would recommend.
Truly amazing experience- could not have been more perfect. The stylist was so helpful and supportive. Would highly recommend Lovely bride to anyone searching for their perfect dress!
Nicole was so sweet during the whole appointment. She made me feel comfortable and excited the whole time. I couldn’t be happier about my experience at Lovely.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Absolutely loved working with Jaye to find my dream dress. She was beyond helpful and I loved every minute of working with Lovely Bride. In the past few months, both of my friends have also worked with Jaye and found their dress at Lovely Bride. Cannot recommend Lovely Bride enough! I wish I could wear my dress every day. It was a dream wedding!
I couldnt recommend this salon enough. I went in with an open mind and not thinking I would find my dress. I WAS WRONG. I found my dream dress and had the best experience.
Great service. was able to come and find my perfect wedding dress! I loved my experience
I haven’t even set foot in the shop but have had the nicest email correspondence with one of the employees. She was willing to come in early to squeeze us in and even called when an appointment cancelled. Customer service was phenomenal. 🔥🔥🔥.
We had the best experience finding my wedding dress at Lovely! We felt extremely safe with their safety precautions and very welcomed from the moment we walked in. Finding my dress was so easy and the experience was extremely special! Highly highly recommend!
My family and I had a wonderful experience at Lovely! Emily is the only reason I found my perfect dress! I would have never put on my dress if she hadn’t pulled and recommended it! I highly recommend choosing lovely!!
I just got my dress from Lovely and the whole experience was perfect! Emily was knowledgeable about each dress and did a great job helping me choose the perfect dress for my style and my body. She was fun and encouraging and made the process so enjoyable. I will certainly recommend Lovely to anyone else shopping for a wedding dress!
As a friend of the bride I have to say the whole experience was just lovely! Emily really listed to my friend and helped her find a dress that fit her and her wedding perfectly. Not only were all of the dresses amazing the store itself was magical.
Nicole at Lovely Bride was AMAZING!! After three previous attempts at dress shopping in other cities, I found my dress here! Nicole was so sweet, personable, attentive, and very kind. I felt so welcomed and she made this experience one of the “happy tear” moments. I could not recommend Lovely Bride enough, they have an assortment of dresses that are tasteful and unique. Emily was also very helpful with recommendations on sizing options when the order was placed. Honestly, I wish I could do it all again because it was such a pleasurable experience!
As the mother of the bride, I truly appreciated how Emily at Lovely Bride handled the appointment and treated my daughter. She began by explaining the process and offered opportunities for questions through the entire appointment. She was patient and chose dresses that matched my daughters wishes.
Had the most incredible experience ! The owner was helping me and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I even felt like she cared more about my experience than just making a sale. The store was beautiful and staff was patient and genuinely excited for me. LOVED THE CHOICES! All unique and stunning. Can’t wait to send my friends !
If you want the experience of buying a wedding dress in Charleston, this is about it. The experience in the shop was great with Nicole, I ended up finding my dress after a long appt and did not think I would. I was surprised that they did not offer champagne or anything throughout the appt or at the conclusion when doing paperwork. I told them I did not want my dress shipped to NC that I would come and pick it up, I met with Emily this time and not Nicole. She was eager to have me put on the dress and push me back out the door. Not leaving time for a moment of happiness that I am trying on MY wedding dress for the first time.Like I said if you want to go wedding dress shopping on King St, this was for sure the experience of the location and the gowns were amazing. But for the price, they are lacking on the red carpet treatment I have received in other shops with friends weddings.
Emily at Lovely Bride took the time to understand my vision and had the most amazing curation of gowns that fit my body and my budget. Other boutiques made me feel a bit rushed to make a decision, but Lovely had a relaxed, refined vibe. I cant recommend them enough!
Emily at lovely bride in Charleston was amazing! I have not tried on wedding dresses before so I was a little nervous but she was able to find me the perfect one! So happy I didn’t have to go to any other stores. Highly recommend her!
Lovely Bride was everything I envisioned my bridal experience to be like and then some. Emily was so helpful and made my experience smooth and easy. She answered all of my questions and made me feel good in every dress I tried on. Finding my wedding dress with her was effortless. Everyone was warm and inviting and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Lovely Bride!
I came into Lovely Bride Charleston prepared to buy a dress that I LOVED. Emily was so helpful and supportive of the entire dress buying experience. She chose dresses based on what I told her I was envisioning and used her own expertise to choose dresses I didn’t even know I would love. Being such an indecisive bride, I am forever grateful for her knowledge throughout the whole process! I truly feel I found the dress of my dreams all thanks to Emily’s patience and knowledge of all things bridal!
I genuinely do not know how Lovely Bride has a consistent 5 star rating. I did not think it was an awful experience until I went to my next appointment and was made aware of what a real Bridal Shop experience was like.
I found my dream gown at Lovely Bride and what an incredibly sweet experience it was! Jaye made my visit an experience I will absolutely NEVER forget! From the moment we walked in, she welcomed us and made myself and my guests feel like the most important people in the world! Aside from employing spectacular people, Lovely Bride has the most unique inventory! If you’re a bride searching for the perfect gown, make Lovely Bride your next stop! A magical place!
I was so nervous about wedding dress shopping, but it went better than I could have ever hoped! I feel like she knew my style better than I did and ended up picking things I would have missed on my own! So happy and cannot recommend them enough!
This was by far the worst bridal appointment I have experienced. Which is very disappointing because I was very excited to go to Lovely. The consultant was not very friendly & was very pushy for me to only try on dresses that were similar to my Pinterest board. I wasn’t able to look at the inventory myself to choose dresses to try on. My appointment was booked for an hour & a half & I left after 45 minutes. The consultant made it extremely uncomfortable & I would avoid Lovely when dress shopping. They seem to follow trends & don’t have anything classic & timeless (I could be wrong but I wouldn’t know that since the consultant wouldn’t let me look at their inventory) if I could give this shop less than 1 Star, I would.
Loved my experience at Lovely Bride! They have incredibly unique, beautiful dresses. The bridal consultants are extremely nice and welcoming and so helpful. If you are looking for a dress, this is your place!
A truly lovely experience. Jaye was so wonderful. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel welcomed and comfortable, offering us drinks (champagne!!) and had us seated in their cute front lounge area. She listened and understood exactly what I was looking for and picked out the best dresses for the style I was wanting. She was relaxed but still extremely knowledgable and fun to work with. She did a wonderful job of pinning the dresses (offering a look of both the front AND back) and was extremely patient with all my requests. Adorable atmosphere (it smelled SO good!) and great dress offerings. High recommend!
I had a wonderful experience here! Jaye was so helpful, sweet and down to earth. I was working with a $1500 budget because I had bought a different dress online that I was not in love with and could not return. Jaye was able to help me find the dreamiest gown from their sample sale within my budget that was also one of the brands I love too. I felt so accommodated especially with a lot of gowns ranging in the $2500-$3000. The store aesthetic is so adorable too! Just an overall wonderful experience! Highly recommend.
I recently went to Lovely Bridal in Charleston, SC with my family to look for my dream dress! First off I wanna say this experience was honestly a 11/10 I was greeted by the kindest soul Jaye (My guardian angel) Literally as soon as I stepped foot in the salon, I was hit by the most beautiful scent I’ve ever smelt ( AROMA THERAPY IS A REAL THING) It literally smelt like positive, amazing energy with a hit of possibly vanilla & me finding my dress 🤞🏽 (I bought one from the website btw) Then she brought over champagne, honey!!! She made me feel very comfortable and at ease....since hello we are looking for our dream dress how could one not be a little nervous + excited etc! We had an amazing consultation & the dresses she pulled were nothing but 10‘s, I was like how the heck am I gonna pick my dress with all the stunning options? My step mother & Jaye knew there was one In the back possibly with my name all over it! So she pulls it and as soon as I put it on WE SHED REAL TEARS!! Jaye being the amazing bridal consultant that she is then placed a beautiful veil and then she knew what time it was...Tears were shed again, she immediately grabbed tissue and I SAID YES THE DRESS! I truly don’t know if I would of found my dress if it wasn’t for her! She was an amazing listener & had a very calm, warm energy! I purposely am having my dress sent to Lovely just so I can see her again when I pick it up! 11/10 🤩THANK YOU JAYE & LOVELY BRIDE!!!
Lovely Bride was my first and only wedding dress stop. Thanks to Jaye’s experience and listening to my comments on each dress, I found THE dress!I was dreading wedding dress shopping and the atmosphere here helped ease my anxiety and make the experience enjoyable.I highly recommend making an appointment here!
If you are shopping in CHS for a wedding dress, look no further!! Lovely Bride was everything AND MORE!! I worked with Emily, the owner and she was a dream! She was able to pin point my dream dress, which ended up being the first one I tried on!! She made the process so smooth and easy!
Everything was amazing! The customer service was wonderful, her insights were on point and helpful. Highly recommend!!
We went shopping for my best friends wedding dress and had a great time. The stylist was very attentive to her likes and dislikes, helping her zone in on what she was looking for. Since this was her first dress shopping experience and we told the stylist we did have other appointments set up, we did not end up buying a dress right then and there. Even knowing this the stylist was very great, informative, helpful, and overall pleasant. In the end we did find the dress we are basically sure is the one :D and hopefully shell be going back for her measurements soon!!
Beautiful store with a great selection. Jaye was awesome! She was super laidback and made the whole process less stressful. She gave great advice and helped me pick a dress based on what worked best for me. I would highly recommend!!
This was my very first wedding dress shopping experience and I am sad to say it was not a good one in terms of customer service. The consultant was a bit pushy towards me and my two bridesmaids who accompanied me. She didnt introduce herself and began our welcome by saying she was going to be bossy and that decisions were going to be made today. This may have been her way of saying we will find you a dress but it came off rude. Additionally, she failed to mention up front what the mask policy was and then made me feel embarrassed when I moved it out of the way for a photo and told me she would pass the fine right along to me. I was extremely apologetic but embarrassed- both of which could have been avoided if the policy was laid out at the start of the appointment. The last thing that made the experience a bad one is that the dress she pulled that I fell in love with was $600 over my maximum budget, $1000 over my desired budget I laid out at the start of the appointment. I will say the shop is adorable, I was able to see a wide variety of dresses and I did find a dress I loved- however I did not get it as it was over budget. :(
I had an awesome experience at Lovely Bride. I had done some research before dress shopping, and I was very excited to visit Lovely Bride because of the designers they carry. The boutique is gorgeous and has a modern feel to it. Jaye was super sweet and helpful. She made dress shopping a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Nice employees but make sure you have dresses in mind from them before you go. They don’t carry many dresses so unless you want a specific one from their designer it’s not worth your time. The shopping experience isn’t as special as it is in other stores. It felt more like trying on dresses from a dept store and you won’t get the “bride” experience here.
What an amazing experience. Molly gave us such a warm welcome into the store, she really tried to get to know me before we even saw the dresses. She made us all feel right at home and was right there if we had questions, needed help with anything or wanted to try something new. I found THE ONE here! The store is gorgeous! A must on the list if youre in the market for your wedding dress.
What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE ALL THANKS TO JAY.First and foremost I made an appointment at Lovely just to browse - I had no intention of even buying. Well that all changed when I was presented with my 3rd beautiful gown that We tried on.I think the craziest take back from this experience was how spot on J was at knowing exactly what I wanted and never losing sight of that. That helped me really stay focused because dress shopping can turn into a very overwhelming time. I left needing that dress so we called back and said J were buying it!!I’ll never forget the experience she created for my 4 Sisters, Mom and I. She made this time sweet, simple and exactly what I was looking for. J you rock- someone give this girl a RAISE! xoxo Mo
I said yes! It was so easy to find the perfect dress. Emily was an absolute expert. She understood what i wanted to look like and found so many good options, all within budget! I never thought Id get that feeling of this is the one but I did!!!Thank you so much for all your help!!!
I made an appointment at Lovely just to take advantage of my mom and me being in the same city for a girls trip to Charleston and to try on dresses for the first time together. I had zero expectations going into this, especially not one of finding the dress, but Emily was so helpful and friendly and insightful through the process, I ended up ordering my dress that weekend! We were thrilled with the selection and customer service and guidance. You are truly in for a treat when you book your appointment at Lovely!
Emily is amazing! I had a not so great experience at a different location, but Emily made this a phenomenal experience for me. She paid attention to every detail, walked me through the dresses, made great suggestions and helped me to find the dress that suited me best based on what I wanted. She even reminded some of the bossier individuals in my group that she was there to make sure every dress pulled was something I would want. I really cant say enough good things, I am just so happy with this experience.
I booked an appointment for my sister in law to be. She was visiting from out of state and it was her first time looking at dresses. The stylist was very one note, and didn’t show her many options or help her determine what my sister in law was looking for. She was rude and almost passive as if she knew we weren’t going to buy a dress that day. My sister in law left feeling ignored and It was disappointing because I wanted her to feel like a queen and unfortunately even though lovely came highly recommended by my local friends we were treated like outcast.
Highly recommend!! Made me feel beautiful in every gown I tried on and gave great advice.ps. the store smells heavenly
I bought my wedding gown and veil from Lovely Bride and could not be more pleased! Emily was such a sweet consultant, respecting my price point and figuring out my style so quickly. The salon is beautiful and you are able to get an appointment very quickly (plus getting champagne is an added bonus!) I cannot recommend Lovely bride enough!!
Beautiful shop. This was my first time trying on wedding gowns and it was a wonderful experience. The woman who helped me was very knowledgeable and, after getting to know what like, picked some lovely gowns for me to try on. And I think I may have found my wedding dress!
Lovely Bride is a must visit for dress shopping in Charleston. They have a huge selection of fun and interesting pieces that you may not find elsewhere in the city. Emily, the owner, is down to earth, incredibly sweet, and will give you the attention you need to find the perfect dress for your wedding day. Im thrilled to have found this little gem on King St!
I cannot say enough great things about this store and my experience at Lovely! Emily and the Lovely team are top-notch professionals and extremely well-versed in the wedding industry. The selection of dresses is hands down the best in town, the store is absolutely stunning and the entire experience was the most fun Ive had so far in my wedding planning. They have something for every budget and the prices are as reasonable as the dresses are unique. Emily made me feel extremely comfortable and helped me find the dress of my dreams. If youre looking for the best bridal store in Charleston, you should make an appointment at Lovely ASAP. Thank you to Emily and her team for making my dream dress a reality and for helping to make my big day that much more unforgettable!
This was a stellar experience!! Emily was easy to reach via email and help arrange for me to set up an appointment & try on a particular dress! The store is beautiful.. And the mood is just perfect for brides to be! My dress fit perfect & she even found a perfect veil to top it all off!! Wish I needed to go there more often.. Lol. Thank you Emily & Lovely Bride Charleston for such an exquisite experience!
I had the best experience today at Lovely Bride CHS. The stylist, Jaye, was sooo nice and seriously knew her stuff. I told her the style I was going for and she pulled 6-8 dresses in that style and budget and also pulled a couple that were different styles just to make sure. I cant stress enough how nice she was and helpful!! She was not pushy at all and let us talk it over before I said yes to my dress!!
I made two trips to Charleston for my dream dress, and it went off without a hitch thanks to the ladies at Lovely. It was such an intimate setting and I was able to see all of the dresses, and try on a few KWH dresses as well (the initial reason I chose this boutique). I thought I may have found *the one* when I went with my dad and his girlfriend but knew I couldnt say yes without my mom and sister...so I scheduled a second appointment! To avoid any hurt feelings, I asked the ladies to not mention the first appointment and they played along perfectly. I ended up walking in and immediately seeing a new dress, tried it on and it was THE ONE (Made with Love, Harlie dress in bone with a front slit). While my family suggest I sleep on it, we went for lunch and I couldnt wait any longer, we had to go back and get it! If youre looking for an intimate experience with enough inventory to have variety but not so much you feel overwhelmed with choices, check out Lovely for your perfect fit!
I sincerely cannot say enough good things about my experience at the Lovely Bride Charleston location. The shop itself is absolutely gorgeous, and Emily did a wonderful job accommodating myself and my two guests the entire time--everything from adjusting the music in the background, to calling the designers directly to relay unique inquiries, to accommodating our requests even outside of business hours. She truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, all while helping me to pick out the perfect look for my big day. The dresses, veils, toppers, and accessories are also utterly stunning, and it was difficult not to fall in love with almost everything I tried on. I wound up purchasing two pieces and cannot wait to walk down the aisle in them! I have and will continue to highly recommend Lovely Charleston to newlyweds..you wont be disappointed! (:
Chain Store!!!! So rude and unwelcoming. Staff was annoyed because our budget wasn’t 3000.00. No one in the store and staff was not interested in helping. And what’s funny is same dress was ordered online from another retailer, being sent to our home and being altered for free. An overpriced David’s Bridal. Just because it’s on Kings doesn’t mean it’s better!!!
We had a very disappointing experience in this shop. At 6:30 we were told there would be no more try ons. We could talk about the dresses-but we could not try on. Obviously the owner did not want to make a sale.I traveled fro NJ to buy her dress. Oh well- we did find one. Judy Pierce
Sadly our experience at Lovely Bride was not good. Thank goodness it was not our first bridal store experience. We arrived about three minutes early for our three oclock appointment. My daughter had called ahead to make sure it was ok if there was six of us. The website says they only allow four guests to attend with the bride. With me, my daughters grandmother, her maid of honor, and her two sisters, we had six in our party. They said that would be fine. The first comment from the sales girl Jaye, was a reference to our large group. She was still with her previous appointment so she ushered us to a room to wait. It was nearly 3:30 before we were able to get started. After the client had left, several of our group went to the back to look at dresses while the sales girl talked with my daughter, Ryleigh. I stayed with them. After she was done asking what type of dress Ryleigh wanted, no real specifics, just a style that accentuated her small waist. She is a size 10-12 normally, but has a beautiful hour glass figure. We walked to the back where the dresses were and the sales girl promptly asked us to go back to the front that she would select the dresses for Ryleigh to try on. It was so very different from our other experience where we were all included and we were able to find several options that Ryleigh loved.Ryleigh had only tried on a couple dresses, which Jaye had picked out, most of which were not at all suited for her shape, when the next appoint showed up with two small children in tow. Now I loved kids, but it really distracted from our experience when a baby was fussing in the room right next to us. It was really a disappointing experience overall. We were extremely rushed, the dresses that were chosen were ill-suited for Ryleighs figure and we were made to feel uncomfortable. Fortunately our other two dress shopping experiences were fantastic and Ryleigh was able to find her perfect wedding dress elsewhere.Do not believe the hype about Lovely Bride!
Disappointing experience with Lovely. They dont have a lot of dresses to try on and they are not very helpful.
Great attention to detail, very high prices.
Amazing! Beautiful dresses.....I want them all ! Emily is super knowledgeable and a joy to be around!
The Lovely Bride is the best bridal boutique in Charleston, hands down!
