Best Bridal/Formal Wear Shop
1. David’s Bridal
David’s Bridal is much more than a shop to find the perfect wedding gown. Whatever the special occasion, this editor’s choice for Best Bridal/Formal Wear features beautiful dresses and accessories such as shoes and headpieces. But you’ll also find invitations, gifts, favors and much more.
Located at 1700 E. 80th St. in Merrillville, David’s Bridal has a vast selection of wedding gowns to flatter every figure as well as gowns for the bridal party and mothers’ dresses. Several times a year, the national store offers special pricing of $99 on selected bridal gowns, and discounts on specific purchases. Financing is also available.
And if you need a special look for the dress for prom, homecoming dance and/or any type of event, ceremony or celebration, David’s Bridal has a large selection of formalwear for women.
2. Char’s
Char opened her shop in Lansing more than 30 years ago with just one focus—the bride and her wedding. This passion for helping area brides make their special day perfect continues at Char’s St. John store.
Personal attention and experience have always been the hallmarks of Char’s staff of consultants. The staff makes very accommodation possible to ensure the bride’s dress fits perfectly. And an in-person fitting appointment is the only way to get that perfect fit.
Rather than a factory assembly line, Char’s has one person attending to each stitch with the utmost care and consideration.
At Char’s you’ll find more than 95 beautiful styles of wedding gowns, more than 88 bridesmaid styles, bridal headpieces, bridal veils, jewelry, tiaras, custom-made garters and purses. Dyeable shoes are the only ones that come in virtually any color to match the wedding party’s dresses.
