-
Yes, we're appointment-only. It's what keeps every visit private and focused. We recommend booking in advance since Saturday slots fill up quickly, especially in spring and fall.
-
Our designers fit brides from a size 0 through 38+. In the showroom, we carry samples in sizes 6 through 34, so you can try gowns on and see how they look on your body. If you have questions about a specific size before you book, just reach out.

We carry Kitty Chen Couture, Elyséé Bridal, Zavana Bridal, and our own private-label Carrington Collection, which exists only at GCB. Our styles range from richly beaded and dramatic to soft, romantic lace and sleek contemporary silhouettes. Most of what we carry isn't available at other bridal shops in the area, so it's worth coming in to see it.
-
We recommend beginning your search 10 to 12 months before your wedding date. Most of our designers need 6 to 9 months for production, and alterations take additional time after that. If your timeline is shorter, we carry off-the-rack gowns available right away — just let us know.
-
GCB is small, private, and appointment-only, which means your stylist is focused entirely on you from the moment you walk in. The collection is unlike anything else in the area — the Carrington Collection is exclusive to GCB, and designers like Kitty Chen Couture, Elyséé Bridal, and Zavana Bridal aren't widely carried in North Carolina. Samples run in sizes 8 through 28, with designers who fit up to a 38+, so every bride can see how a gown looks on her body. It's about 20 miles from Cary on I-40, and most brides say it was worth the drive.
