Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery

Susanne and the other members of the Mecklenburg Bridal team were wonderful to work with. They did a great job helping me select the gown that was perfect for me. The alterations staff were also great. They got the dress right the first time so I did not have to make multiple trips to keep trying it on.

Jet Taylor, who formally worked out of Mecklenberg Bridal, is truly an artist with lace and gemstones! She reworked my mother's veil and turned it into a perfect accessory for my wedding day. Jet and I removed the 1980's headband and lace and then she hand stitched lace removed from the long bell sleeves of my matching bolero. Everything about the resulting veil was perfect, from my 'something old' to the super grip hair comb.
I highly endorse this wonderful woman, but I did choose not to do business with Mecklenburg Bridal, where Jet Taylor previously had her shop.

I came in to look at dresses at Mecklenburg Bridal and I had an amazing experience! We were helped by Kay who was so nice and helpful!! She let us look through the dresses and pick out the ones we liked which we loved! When we were looking at a dress on, she would say how nice it looked and would give my mother and I time to talk it over ourselves. We found the dress that day and they were so great with helping me that my bridal party and mother all got there dresses there too! Everything came in on time and alterations done on the dresses looked and fit great! I tell every bride I know to go to Mecklenburg Bridal! GREAT PRICES, AMAZING SERVICES, AND BEAUTIFUL DRESSES!

Mecklenburg Bridal is every brides dream! The staff, the selection, the professionalism. Even if they are out of your area give them a call, it will be well worth it!

I live in Raleigh but ordered my dress from Mecklenberg Bridal Gallery after speaking on the phone with Kay. She was great to work with and kept me up to date throughout the entire ordering process. I couldn't have been happier with how my gown came out. It was gorgeous and I am so thankful for their help.

This is one bridal gallery that you cannot afford to miss if you are looking for excellent service, broad selection, and an atmosphere that will help you make the best choice possible for your wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses or mother of the bride/groom gowns. I have purchased a wedding gown for my daughter, bridesmaid gowns, and gown for myself for her wedding as well as my daughter-in-law purchasing her wedding gown and gowns for her entire wedding party. All were stunning, with excellent caring service towards each of us! This store deserves 5+ star rating for the personalized attention given to me and my family! The store layout is beautiful with lots of mirrors and area for the brides to gain a full picture of how they appear in each gown. I don't believe that you will find a better selection of gowns anywhere in the area - whether it is for bridal, bridesmaid, or mothers! Check it out!

I had a great experience at Mecklenburg Bridal. When I came in and said that my wedding was 5 months away, no one made me feel bad about the lack of time to get a dress in. They explained my options and made me feel more than comfortable when the entire situation could have been very stressful. They delivered exactly as they promised - a beautiful dress in four months and two fittings in 4 weeks. The dress was beautiful, and I am so thankful for their help.

I came to Mecklenburg Bridal after a horrible experience at David's Bridal. Vania allowed me to pick out the dresses that I thought would best compliment me, and she chose several as well. She was very patient and even allowed me to go home and contemplate my options (I was stuck between two very flattering but different dresses). When I returned I purchased my dress, and went through the whole fitting procedure with them as well. I'm a bit of a tomboy when it came to all of the pomp and circumstance of the "wedding thing", but the Vania always leveled with me when I wasn't sure about certain things (like coming in to try on the dress before I picked it up, or getting it pressed before I take it) and I'm glad I listened to her.

Thank-you Mecklenburg bridal!

(I ended up taking off the slip after the pre-wedding pictures...it was HOT!)

Very attentive and pleasant.

On the hunt for my wedding gown, I had no clue as to what I liked. I ended up falling in love with a beautiful, strapless, lace gown with a gorgeous lace train. Mecklenburg Bridal had a vast selection of wedding dresses and they were extremely friendly about my “dig in and try every single one on” approach. I liked the fact that they guided me into how to select my dress and didn’t just leave me to fend for myself.

Once I found my perfect dress, I was even able to bargain a bit with them to get the price reduced a bit. They were a great bridal boutique to work with and I was happy to do business with them. I also ended up getting my veil there from Jet. Overall, I would definitely say to check this place out if searching for a bridal store with lots of selection. I was very happy with my experience with Mecklenburg Bridal!

I bought my dress from Mecklenburg Bridal and also got all of my wedding party dresses from here. We also ordered shoes and things like that. The service was excellent at first and then my dress came in too short. The reaction was a bit rocky initially, but, it got a little better. The situation was resolved in a timely manner thanks to Karen, the owner. I would recommend working with her if you have an issue because otherwise you will get the run around. The other staff in the store seems to be friendly until you get on their nerves. Also, when things come in they arent on top of calling and informing of arrival. Overall, the experience was not bad but there were just disconnects. Would highly recommend Jet who works in the store occasionally to sell veils. She does not work for Mecklenburg Bridal.

I did not enjoy my experience with Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery. My consultant was overbooked that day, and she was hardly around at all. When she was around, she spent more time trying to convince me how much she cared than actually helping. My mother and maid of honor picked out and tried on all of the dresses alone. When my mother returned to buy her dress for the wedding, they were anything but helpful. She ended up buying a dress from another salon (Impressions Bridal in Concord, NC), where I found the same dress I bought from Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery for $100 cheaper. Then, after I had my first fitting, they called and said they noticed a problem with the fabric when they were pressing my dress (3 weeks before I actually needed it). They then had to reorder another one, and I had to completely change my schedule to get back in for another fitting. I wasn't able to try my dress on again until I needed it for my bridal portrait. Overall, they are unhelpful, some of the salespeople are borderline rude, and they are overpriced.

We had problems with the appointment and with the alterations. I loved the dress but wish I could have purchased it from someone else.

I purchased my wedding gown at Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery. Although I am thankful that I went there because I found my dream dress at a great price, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this shop to future brides.

The shop lacked character and the sales staff is not very friendly. I really felt like I was fending for myself in there, versus other dress shops where the sales person was there for me every step of the way (Poffie Girls in Gastonia and Classic Bridal and Formal in Davidson).

When I went for my appointment for a veil, I was told that I either had to change into my dress in the bathroom or be very very quick with the dressing room (as someone else had an appointment to try on dresses---although I also had an appointment to try on veils with my dress). The whole experience felt rushed and the woman selling veils was rude---until she thought she would be able to sell me one (when she became very transparently friendly).

If you are looking for a decent price on a dress, Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery can definitely offer that. But if you are going for the whole experience (and dresses that aren't badly priced either), I would recommend Poffie Girls or Classic Bridal and Formal in Davidson (which has recently moved to Cornelius.)
