What People Are Saying About Elegant Brides

I love Elegant Brides, I got my (very gorgeous) wedding dress here, and all of my bridesmaids got their dresses here. The staff is really helpful and easy to work with, they are easy to reach via phone, and they are happy to answer any questions you have as you go through the process of picking out your special outfit!They made me and all of my girls feel welcome and supported throughout the whole process.

Amazing experience! I went in with a tight budget and even tighter timeline since I was eloping! They helped me find the perfect dress and were able to get the alterations done in a really tight window. They even worked around my work travel schedule. The seamstress is a gem and made me feel so comfortable. Can't recommend them enough!

I had an absolutely incredible experience finding my dress at elegant brides. The space was great to have our own area, the staff was AMAZING and I found the perfect dress with their assistance. I could not imagine having a better experience finding the right dress. I had an additional bridal session scheduled at another shop and elegant brides even covered the cancellation fee at that store so I could walk away with my dress and celebrate with my friends and family the rest of the day.

I came in today and everyone was amazing and the experience was phenomenal. I found the dress that made me cry and even my bridesmaids found their dresses! I can’t say enough wonderful things! Thank you so much for making this day perfect for me. ☺️

I had an amazing experience here when buying my wedding dress. They were so kind and I was so comfortable when looking for the perfect dress. The lady who altered my dress was there for the whole process and she was amazing!! I even got my dress on sale. Highly recommend going to Elegant Brides!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience!! Everyone made picking a dress and getting ready for my wedding so easy!! The seamstress is an absolute dream to work with and did amazing with my dress! I just can’t reccomend Elegant Brides enough!!!

The service was amazing throughout the whole process!I found Elegant Brides through an ad on Instagram promoting their July Bridal Dress Sale. Would have never guessed I would find my perfect dress through social media! From beginning to end I felt special.The seamstress Mrs. Dawnelle was so sweet, honest, and explained everything well to where I was able to understand what was going on. I truly have no complaints and if I were to do this all again, I would still choose to come here...
