Bridal Shop in Mt Pleasant SC

Bridal Shop in Mt Pleasant, SC --  Jean's of Mt Pleasant, SC is a bridal shop that provides all your bridal needs - wedding gowns, bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, groom, groomsmen, ring bearer and accessories.


Jean Wellmon opened her shop in 1974 in Mt Pleasant.  When Jean first opened her store, it was located on Coleman Blvd. in Mt. Pleasant.  Jean at that time did mostly seamstress work ---when my daughter was in elementary school, she was sooooo tiny that I could not purchase clothes that fit her --in comes Jean Wellmon who made all my daughter's clothes for school.  Obviously, our family got to know she and her family over the years. Jean has always been a perfectionist.  Her clothes were incredible. At some point, she moved her business to Fairmont and started carrying bridal clothes.

In 1984 Jean & her husband, Chuck bought the current building       Jean's of Mt PleasantLafayette Village sign

in Lafayette Village and moved their location. At that time Jean's was a combination of a women's dress shop and a bridal shop in Charleston. I have bought many pieces of clothing from her over the years. What was so neat was that if something didn't fit quite the way you wanted, well, no problem -- enters the seamstress and she makes it perfect. Her line of clothing was top quality -- one was proud to say, " I got this dress at Jean's" whether it was a bride's dress or a dress for a dress up occasion or just a dress for casual wear.

Over the years Jean's of Mt. Pleasant,
SC has become a complete Bridal Shop in Charleston, SC where the bride to be can find any and everything she wants. She does not have to worry about quality --

Jean's daughter, Michelle Wellmon Cost, started working in the shop with her mother when she was a child --hanging out and of course helping as much as she could.  In 1991 Michelle became full time and became the Manager of the Bridal Shop in Charleston called Jean's of Mt. Pleasant -Jean would not put Michelle in a day care - she was always at the store. Guess you would say, she definitely has Jean's of Mt. Pleasant in her blood and in her psychic.

 


Jean & Michelle


When Jean & Chuck had their 2nd child, they had a crib in the back of the store ---this shop is definitely a family shop.  When you visit there, you get that feeling -- you know, the warm and fuzzy feeling.


When I was by the store talking with Jean & Michelle getting more information and photos, the customers in the store were 2nd generation shoppers at Jean's of Mt. Pleasant

Liz, my mother-in-law owned a Maternity Shop and I used to work for her and take our children with me when they were little! There was a back room where they could play. Family businesses are great!

Good post for localism, but to feature it on Active Rain members only?  I think this is a perfect example of why so many of us are against the new "suggest" button -
