The Dress
Jean’s Bridal
S
ome little girls dream of being
a bride from their earliest childhood. They
know what kind of dress they want. They
know exactly where to go for everything
bridal in Mount Pleasant.
Jean’s Bridal has been taking care of brides since
1974, offering a full selection of bridal gowns in every
style you can imagine. And
although your mom may
have purchased her gown there, Jean’s Bridal is up on the
latest trends.
Styles change and Michelle Wellmon Waterbury said
that “fewer brides are asking for strapless gowns” in
favor of more modest looks. She added that simple yet
whimsical dresses are popular for destination weddings.
Michelle advised brides to be open-minded. A bride who
wants one style at first may find another style is much
more flattering.
Jean’s Bridal also tends to the rest of the wedding party.
Bridesmaids’ dresses can be beautiful (really!) and, like the
wedding gown, ideally should be chosen six to nine months
in advance to allow for proper fitting. Bridegrooms are
tending to casual attire such as suits, although tuxedos are
still requested for more formal weddings. Mothers of the
bride and bridegroom are not forgotten here – they offer an
outstanding collection of dresses.
Attention is in the details, and Jean’s has all the little
extras, such as jewelry, headpieces, shoes and even gifts for
the bridal party.
And good to know: “We do alterations, even if you
bought the dress elsewhere,” Michelle said.
Looking for the perfect dress? No worries. It’s at
Jean’s Bridal.
Jean’s Bridal is located at 798 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. in
Mount Pleasant. More information is available at www.
