Our salon
One stylist, one bride, one afternoon
Kate opened Willow & Ivory after years of watching brides get shuffled between three salespeople in an hour. Here you get one stylist who learns your venue, your budget, and what you actually feel good in. We buy small, so the racks change often and you will not see your gown on ten other brides.
•Sizes 2 to 30 available to try on in store, not just ordered from a chart
•In house seamstress, so your gown never leaves the building
•Budgets from $1,400 to $6,000 with the price on every tag
Reviews
What our brides say
“I am a size 22 and this was the first shop where I could actually zip the samples. That changed the whole day for me.”
Marissa T., Married at Boone Hall
“Three fittings and the bustle held through a four hour reception with no safety pins.”
Jenna R., Mount Pleasant bride
“They found me a gown at $1,600 and never once pushed me toward the expensive rack.”
Priya S., Summerville bride
FAQ
Before your appointment
How far ahead should I shop?
Most designers need eight to ten months to make a gown, plus two to three months for alterations. If your date is closer than that, ask about our off the rack samples, which you can take home the same day.
What should I bring?
Nude seamless underwear and the shoe height you expect to wear. If you have a strapless bra you love, bring it. We keep clips and shapewear in the suite for everything else.
How many guests can I bring?
Four for a standard appointment and six for a Saturday luxe. Smaller groups genuinely help. Brides with eight opinions in the room usually leave without a gown.
Are alterations included in the gown price?
No. Alterations run from $450 for a simple hem and bustle to about $900 for beaded or lace gowns that need the seams reworked. We quote your exact price at the first fitting, not after.
