What makes you different from other bridal shops in the area?

The Bridal House of Charleston has a sense of tradition and a level of customer service that is second to none. We treat every bride who walks through our doors with the utmost respect and are 100% committed to providing the absolute best shopping experience. This store has served generations of beautiful brides, and we are honored every time a new customer is referred to us. Even brides who didn’t purchase through The Bridal House often send us referrals, which I take as a tremendous compliment and testament to the service we provide.

How long has the store been in the area?

We are Charleston’s oldest bridal boutique and have been in business for 37 years. I took over in 2015.

BHC takes pride in being a modern bridal shop rooted in tradition.

In your opinion what dress or dress style says Charleston?

What a question. With the varied demographics of our area and the vast array of local venues available, I’m happy to say that there is no one definition of the average Charleston bride’s style. She’s traditionally chic with a modern twist. She wants her dress to reflect her unique personality but also wants a look that is timeless. Whatever her style and taste, we are confident that one of our 300+ dresses will be “The One” that makes the bride want to say “I Do” to her something new.

From the editor
Happy Friday + happy first day of March. With the little warm spell we had this week, I cannot stop thinking about spring and all the beautiful flowers that blossom alongside it.
So, tell me your favorite flowers. I’ll go first. I love peonies and hydrangeas.
