Located at 2968 Atlanta Road, Building 200, in Smyrna, Georgia, The Sample Shoppe by The White Magnolia sells designer wedding gowns at discounted prices compared to retail. The boutique draws brides from across the Atlanta metro looking for quality designer names without full-price tags, offering a sample and off-the-rack model that lets shoppers purchase gowns the same day rather than waiting months for a special order.
The inventory spans collections from more than 20 bridal designers, including Allison Webb, Allure Bridals, Enzoani, Essense of Australia, Hayley Paige, Maggie Sottero, Pronovias, and Watters. Shoppers can browse by silhouette, with A-line, ballgown, fit-and-flare, and sheath options all represented, or filter by style aesthetic across four categories: Clean & Classic, Dramatic Details, Flowy Fabrics, and Luxe Laces. Price-point filters let customers shop gowns under $1,000, under $2,000, under $2,500, and under $3,000, making the selection accessible to a wide range of budgets.
Beyond gowns, the store carries bridal accessories and maintains a dedicated selection of plus-size options. Appointments are strongly encouraged to ensure each visitor receives dedicated stylist time, though walk-ins are occasionally accepted. Hours run Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the boutique closed Monday and Tuesday. The Smyrna location on Atlanta Road is convenient for brides commuting from Marietta, Kennesaw, Buckhead, and other Atlanta-area communities.
Payment options include major credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Shop Pay. The business ships gowns nationwide and has established return and handling policies for purchases. Customer reviews consistently highlight the attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere, and absence of high-pressure sales tactics, with stylists praised for guiding brides through the selection process at their own pace.
