“I absolutely loved my experience at Elegant Brides! I went to two other stores (one large one in STL and another boutique in Indianapolis). By far, Elegant Brides was the store where I felt the least amount of pressure to make a decision, and the most comfortable. While the store is quite small, I thought they had a wide range of styles I enjoyed. They invited me to go into a separate room with my mom to discuss my dress decision (hence the no pressure to decide!) The second time I came in to try on my dress, they asked if I wanted to try on a brand new dress they had just received, just to see what it looked like in person.
In short: this was the store where I enjoyed my dress shopping experience the most — the staff was laid-back, supportive, seemed genuinely excited for me when I found my dress, and helped me decide what alterations I wanted to make (which also happened to be the cheapest dress I tried on anywhere!)”
“I felt like a Princess at Elegant Brides! I was late to my appointment and when I called they were so kind and understanding! When I finally arrived they were absolutely wonderful! They pulled dresses for me and I liked every one I tried on until I found the PERFECT dress for me! They had a tiara, long earrings, and gloves for me to try on to see the full look as I knew I would wear those accessories on my big day!! They were the best, made me feel like the most special bride!”
“Wonderful!!! That is putting mildly how I would say my time at Elegant Brides was. Going in, my mom and I were just browsing to get an idea of the styles and fits that I would look best in and that I would like the most. Despite not having an appointment, we were treated with such respect and no pressure to buy. There was no awkwardness or feelings of being uncomfortable. They talked to me as if I was an old friend and we bonded almost instantly! Kim and her staff made me feel beautiful, special, and supported me the whole process, and I found the dress of my dreams!! I cannot believe how easy this once dreaded day was and how quickly it turned into one of my favorite memories. Thank you so much for everything. Will definitely be recommending to everyone I can!”
“We came in to browse but came out with “the” dress!! The owner and the woman who does alterations were top-notch. They were so personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the trip to Edwardsvile for all brides looking for their special dress!”
“Elegant Brides is the best place to go for any of your bridal needs! The staff there are absolutely incredible – they are accommodating, they make you feel beautiful, and they listen to your needs! I came to Elegant Brides in November 2020 for my October 2021 wedding. As soon as we walked in, we felt like we were the most important people in the room. I found my dress within an hour. We went for alterations a few times, and every time was such a fun experience. They took everything I said seriously and made sure everything was perfect for the big day. I will forever recommend Elegant Brides to anyone who needs a wedding dress, bridesmaids dress, or mother of the bride dress! You will walk in as a customer and you will leave as family. Thank you for making my day so special!”
