Five of South Carolina’s premier bridal boutiques and local designers are joining forces for an exclusive multi-boutique bridal sample sale from June 15 to June 16, 2026. The two-day event will take place at The Waverly event venue in downtown Charleston.
For the first time, Lowcountry brides will have the unique opportunity to shop inventory from multiple boutiques and direct-from-designers in a single location. The sales event features a wide selection of size-inclusive bridalwear ranging from sizes 4–24 at up to 70% off. Bridalwear prices start at $500, with bridal accessories starting at $39. This sample sale is a “cash-and-carry” event, so brides on a tight wedding timeline or budget can take their purchases home the same day.
Doors open on Monday, June 15 at 2 p.m., with shopping hours extending until 8 p.m. On Tuesday, June 16, the venue will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Brides will be able to shop one-of-a-kind designs from Lourdes Castañeda’s Charleston-based brand Edith Élan, alongside jewelry and hair accessories from the eponymous Emma Katzka Bridal. Betsy Watts of Elizabeth Cole Bridal in Columbia, South Carolina, will be bringing samples from exclusive boutique labels such as Hera Couture, Savannah Miller and plus-size brand Studio Levana. Camila Craft, owner of Ritual Bridal in North Charleston, will showcase a selection of her curated vintage, couture and pre-loved wedding gowns. Additionally, West Ashley boutique Bridals by Jodi will include a selection of wedding gowns from labels like Maggie Sottero, Eddy K and Morilee.
“Community is important to me and I wanted to pull together some of the best South Carolina has to offer to create a sales event Lowcountry brides hadn’t seen before,” says Castañeda, owner of Edith Élan and coordinator for the event.
While no appointment is necessary to browse the inventory or shop for bridal accessories, an appointment is strictly required to access the fitting rooms. During a 40-minute VIP appointment, brides will work with a dedicated stylist and receive access to one of two private fitting rooms for their group. Due to time constraints, there is a strict limit of five sample try-ons per appointment. VIP appointment groups are capped at three individuals total—the bride and two guests. Free on-site parking is available at the venue.
