Meet Madison, Co-owner, Stylist, and Designer
Most bridal shops buy from designers, and the buyer, the stylist, and the owner are all different people. At J. Major's, that's all me. I'm the buyer, the designer, the owner and one of the stylists on the floor.
I'm in this boutique every single day. I style appointments, I listen, and I hear what Charlotte brides are dreaming of, and sometimes, what they can't quite find anywhere else. It's where my designs come from. We're one shop, one city, and every collection I work on is shaped by real conversations with real brides, right here in this room.
When you come in, you're getting to work with the person who heard what brides like you wanted and then went and made it.
Whether you’re drawn to timeless elegance or modern romance, J. Major’s Bridal Boutique is here to help you find the wedding dress that feels like you!

Customer Reviews
Hannah Williams
Madison and her staff have such a sweet way about them that they can set even the most anxious ball of nerves completely at ease, while still finding a gown that fulfills all one’s regal Grace Kelly dreams on a budget! I would recommend this salon a hundred times over!
Anastasia Brown
Madison was the first to celebrate me and my success with finding the perfect wedding dress. And, to top it all off, I later found out that she had actually designed the wedding dress I purchased! When she shared her story of becoming a fashion designer with me after my decision had been made and how she had designed the wedding dress that turned out to be the one I wanted, it made the whole experience even more special and I cannot thank her enough for that!
Cheyenne Quindara
I had the best experience with McKay at J. Major’s Bridal Boutique! I knew I wanted a Jenny Yoo dress and they had an expansive selection and helped me refine my choices. I felt so special and taken care of by everyone in the store. I would recommend this boutique to every bride to be.
Olivia Hediger
