Given our tropical summers and temperate (but possibly chilly winters), and our varied landscapes and settings, Charleston isn’t one-size-fits-all when it comes to wedding gowns. Here, we ask those-in-the-know, the pros at area bridal boutiques, to share what their favorite in-store looks are made for what Lowcountry Big Day. Enjoy!
