The Bridal Suite: Welcome to Federal Hill!

Federal Hill welcomes a unique new shop to the neighborhood. The Bridal Suite (1126 S. Charles St.) opened its doors on December 1^st and is now catering to soon-to-be brides in Baltimore.  The Bridal Suite owner, Roberta Sachs, chose Federal Hill for its “trendy, comfortable atmosphere” as well as its “potential brides-to-be.”

The Bridal Suite is an upscale bridal shop offering new and once worn wedding gowns. They have everything from plain and simple gowns to new and unique bridal apparel.  They even carry a few light pink dresses!  This shop is a brilliant concept, providing brides with their dream wedding dress, at the fraction of their market price.  

If you own a perfectly good, once-wed, wedding gown and don’t want it to collect dust, stop by The Bridal Suite to see if it has consignment potential.  They will accept dresses that are within current styles or could be considered vintage.  The dresses must be in excellent condition in order to be appraised. 

If you’re planning your wedding, or know a friend who is, consider The Bridal Suite as your wedding gown boutique.
