With an entire section of the store dedicated to clothing for special occasions, Southern Belles’ options range from one-of-a- kind outfits to special orders to off-the-rack. “We have a few lines that we couldn’t possibly carry everything they make, so we have a catalog with pictures and fabrics,” owner Susie Molony explained. “You can choose the style, the color of the dress or sash and some options can incorporate a buttoned back or a v-zipper.” Brands like Isabel Garretón, Susanne Lively and LuLu BeBe are cut to order, while Us Angels is a classically styled dress that is moderately priced – something to consider for a dress that may only be worn once. Southern Belles is a one-stop shop for children’s wedding attire, which is a blessing for parents trying to choose all of the accouterments while wrangling a small child. From head to toe, from bows and satin headbands to tights, socks and a full-service shoe section, parents can find the perfect ensemble for their child to walk down the aisle or to be in the audience. Weddings run the gamut in every direction – big or small, rustic or fancy, subdued or over-the-top – but some elements transcend all of those. In Charleston, an idyllic location, thoughtful gestures and a well-dressed wedding party – even down to the smallest member – are just a few. Photo courtesy of Southern Belles. bridal
