CHARLOTTE'S HISTORY



Charlotte’s has been helping brides Say Yes to the Dress for over 30 years in Portland, OR. The original owner named Charlotte, started the business out of her home with only one designer and soon after moved into our current location to open a full service bridal boutique.

In June of 2007, Charlotte decided to retire and sell the store to one of her employees, Krysta York and her parents Robyn & Dan McLaughlin. Over the years the store has changed and grown and currently has 6 newly renovated bridal suites and 6 smaller changing rooms. Charlotte's carries exclusive designers found nowhere else in the Portland-Metro area. It remains a full service boutique known for exceptional customer service, a knowledgeable staff and the destination for the ultimate wedding gown shopping experience. Charlotte's is also a proud partner and supporter of VOW for Girls. Charlotte’s is proud to be one of the top bridal stores to find your wedding gown in the Pacific Northwest.

 

You can also find the Charlotte’s Experience in Southern Oregon at our 2nd location in downtown Ashland.
