Monica's Bridal is a bridal salon in North Chattanooga, Tennessee. It sells wedding gowns and also carries tuxedos and suits for grooms and wedding parties. Visits are by appointment so each client gets focused attention.

Shopping here as an LGBTQ+ couple

Monica's Bridal is LGBTQ+-owned, and its own description makes clear that it does not mind what your love looks like. That is useful if you want to shop for two gowns, two suits, or a mix, and you want a team that treats each outfit as routine rather than unusual.

What you will find

• A wide range of wedding gowns
• More than 60 plus size gowns to try on in the store, with hundreds more available to order
• Tuxedos and suits, from designer pieces to classic styles

How an appointment works

The salon works on a friendly, informal basis with experienced consultants. Because the visit is by appointment, you can book one for each partner or for both of you together. Mention your size range, budget and wedding date when you book so the consultant can prepare.

Timing and fittings

Gowns that are ordered rather than bought off the rack usually take several months to arrive, and alterations come after that. Start about nine to twelve months before the wedding if you can. Suits and tuxedos move faster, but you still need time for measurements and tailoring.

Before you go

Bring shoes and undergarments that are close to what you will wear, and limit your group to the people whose opinions you trust. Ask about delivery windows, alteration costs and the return policy. The store holds a 4.7 rating across 71 reviews.
