Opening New Location in Charleston, on King Street

The newest addition to the stellar shopping in downtown Charleston’s King Street corridor is a couture bridal boutique offering bridal and wedding apparel. Bella Vista Bridal & Wedding Boutique has begun renovations to the Market Street Suites of Majestic Square, located at 211 King Street. This will be the newest location for Bella Vista Bridal, which has changed the wedding landscape in Columbia over the last few years it has been open. With the new Charleston location, adjacent to Saks Fifth Avenue, Bella Vista Bridal will be offering Charleston Brides an unparalleled selection of wedding gowns, in a refined downtown store. Bella Vista has one of the largest selections of gowns in the Southeast, while also maintaining a wide variety of price points.

Bella Vista Bridal opened its doors in Columbia in early 2006 and ever since has been a driving influence in Bridal Fashion for South Carolina. Attracting many brides from surrounding cities such as Charleston, Greenville, Charlotte, and even Atlanta, Bella Vista Bridal has created a successful formula that brides quickly come to admire and respect. The secret to Bella Vista Bridal’s success with brides is having the best designs from multiple designers. In addition, Bella Vista Bridal’s design staff synthesize the best dresses of the season into its own private label lines. Finally, Bella Vista Bridal is all about fitting the dress to the bride, both body and soul. “We want our brides to feel as beautiful as they look, so the dress has to fit their body and their personality.” Pair this with attention to details like making sure the dress matches the theme, location, season, and time or the wedding and Bella Vista Bridal has all the bases covered.

Bella Vista Bridal is no stranger in Charleston. Over the past few years, hundreds of brides from Charleston have traveled to Bella Vista Bridal in Columbia for their wedding needs. Since opening its doors, Bella Vista Bridal has always seen itself as a place for Charleston’s brides to find their dream dress. “We’ve always made it a point to embrace Charleston, we love the city, we love the people, and everyone we’ve talked to has been excited that we’re coming to Charleston.” Bella Vista Bridal also turned heads in Charleston Fashion Week’s Couture Bridal Show earlier this year, and will be appearing again this year.

Over the past several years, Charleston’s King Street corridor has become a fashion center for the southeastern United States, so it was a natural draw for Bella Vista Bridal. With its location in Majestic Square, Bella Vista Bridal will be at the center of that corridor yet easily accessible, and with plenty of nearby parking (always a luxury in Charleston). Commanding close to 4000 square feet, Bella Vista Bridal’s Charleston Boutique will have plenty of room for wedding gowns, bridesmaid’s dresses, wedding invitations, and wedding accessories. Bella Vista Bridal takes “full-service” to a new level with everything a bride needs for her wedding day except the groom.

In addition, brides from outside Charleston who are getting married in Charleston will have the added convenience of being able to use the services of Bella Vista Bridal in Columbia as well as Charleston. This will benefit brides who have family living in other parts of the state, and make their lives easier as the wedding day approaches.

Bella Vista Bridal’s Charleston Boutique is scheduled to be open by January 2010. They are currently taking appointments for dates beginning in January 2010. You can reach them at 843-884-7191.
