What Our Brides Are Saying

Allison Stacy
I had no intention of finding my wedding dress this weekend — it was actually my very first time ever trying on dresses! But from the moment I walked in, Lawton made the experience absolutely magical. She was so sweet, attentive, and never made me feel any pressure whatsoever. It truly felt like she was just as excited for me as me and my mom. I ended up saying yes to the dress, and I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a stress-free, supportive, and genuinely joyful experience, I can't recommend this place (and Lawton!) enough.
Tessa Schwarze
An incredibly special experience for us! From start to finish, Rachel was an absolute delight to work with, and really honed in on the style of dress I asked for. They were respectful of our budget and opinions, and her feedback and process really helped with the decision-making (especially for a very indecisive bride like myself!). I couldn't have asked for a better dress, or a better day! Thank you guys!
Liz Garbade
Lawton, the owner, is so warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. She took the time to understand my vision and made me feel completely at ease. From start to finish, the process was stress-free and truly special—I couldn’t recommend them more to any bride-to-be! 🤍 …
Elizabeth White
Was there today with my niece. She bought an absolutely gorgeous dress because every gown we were shown was spectacular. So professional and also so warm and comfortable. If you go here I bet you will find something special.
Carmen Cooper
This is the GO TO spot to find your dress!! An awesome unique stock of dresses and a stylist that makes you feel ultra comfortable. The quality of the dresses is top notch, and we've seen ALOT of dresses at this point. Her private label is so beautiful, differentiated, and fabulous. I cannot get over how amazing this place is, it really knocked our socks off.
Sam McCarthy
Lawton was so wonderful and the shop was so cute and original. The appointment was so personal and dresses were very unique. The shop is also in the French quarter which is my favorite part of Charleston- definitely check this shop out if you are looking for dresses in the Charleston area!
