Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a sample gown?
Sample gowns are gowns that stores or designers have used in their showrooms. They have been tried on but never been worn for any other purpose. This means you get a designer dress for a fraction of the cost!
What sizes do you carry?
We have a variety of sizes and styes! Over 200 dresses in stock!
Do you order your dresses?
All of our dresses are sold off the rack which means you get to take your dress home today…no ordering!
Do you provide in house alterations?
We don’t. We refer you to one of our local master seamstresses!
Testimonials
Magnolia Bride of Charleston was the bridal salon of my dreams. The service, knowledge, atmosphere, gowns, and prices are unmatched. I booked my appointment on a whim on a girls trip to Charleston and had no intention of falling in love with a dress. When I began looking through the dresses, I quickly realized I wasn’t leaving without one. I loved the undivided attention I had and that I was the only bride in the salon. I ended up leaving with a dress designed by Lawton (the dresses she designed were my favorites!) and it’s everything I wanted and more. It was such a cool experience to get to meet the designer of my dress and to know that it is a one-of-a-kind. I’m so excited for my dress to make it’s debut in June. I cannot recommend Magnolia and Lawton enough! Thank you so much, Lawton!
I can’t say enough about how great my experience was with Lawton and Magnolia Bride. My mom and I went looking for my dream dress, and Lawton was so warm and welcoming and also so helpful. I LOVE that she designs her own dresses but also offers a wide variety of sample sale dresses — I am so thrilled that I chose one of her own dresses … no one else will have it! I actually picked a dress that I hadn’t seen on the rack and Lawton pulled it for me to try — she really listened to what I was looking for and picked a winner! Thank you, Lawton, for the wonderful experience!
I visited a handful of bridal shops in my search for a dress, but Magnolia Bride was by far the best experience I could have asked for! Lawton was quick to welcome my mom and I into the shop on short notice, and made me feel so welcomed! She listened to my wedding plans and vision for the day, was quick to make suggestions and take my opinions into account, and ended up helping me find the most beautiful dress (that she designed herself)! She was also incredibly patient as I went back and forth between my final two, and made the entire experience so joyful and relaxing. The shop is beautiful, and offers a huge variety of styles to try, in a variety of price ranges. I truly couldn’t recommend them more, for an amazing, unique bridal gown shopping experience!
