Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can I bring to my appointment?
4 plus the bride for a standard appointment, up to 8 for the VIP suite, and as many as you wish for the book the boutique appointment.
What should I wear/bring to my appointment?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Nude undergarments are best. You can bring shoes, flowers, champagne or anything you feel will enhance your Madison Carolina Bridal experience!
When should I order my gown?
ASAP! Most brides typically start shopping for their dress about 12-14 months before their wedding. Once you've found your dream gown there is no need to wait, it's always better to plan ahead! It typically takes gowns 6 months to arrive once ordered and 2-3 months to do the alterations process.
What if I don’t have enough time to order a gown?
No worries there! Madison Carolina Bridal boasts one of the largest off the rack selection of wedding gowns in the upstate. We have over 800 bridal gowns in shop, 3 times the selection of your average bridal boutique!
What does off the rack mean?
Purchasing an “off the rack” dress means you fall in love with the dress you try on and get to take that dress home that day instead of ordering it. Off the rack gowns are often discontinued samples of designer wedding gowns which means you find a high quality dress no one else can order anymore for an amazing price!

For the standard appointment there is no charge. We do however require a card to book an appointment to cover any possible cancellation or no show. The cancellation/no show fee is $35. However if you cancel or rebook your appointment with 48 hours notice of your appointment there is no fee.
VIP Suite is $75. Book the boutique is $150.
