Wedding Dress!

One year from my wedding and I am still obsessed with my wedding dress! There seems to be so much pressure surrounding a wedding dress. Always Elegant helped relieve so much of that stress. They made myself and my family and friends that came with me so welcomed, seen and at ease. I was able to find a dress that matched my vibe and made me feeling incredibly strong and beautiful. I highly recommend a trip to Always Elegant, you will not be disappointed in their attention to detail, amazing selection or caring staff!!

Amazing Dress experience

I would definitely recommend this bridal salon, even if its a bit of a drive.
I went to 4-5 places in Sacramento before I made the drive to Yuba City to go to Always Elegant Bridal and it was by far the best experience I could have asked for.
Kirsten helped my find my dress and she was so patient, kind, helpful, and genuinely interested in helping me find something that brought me joy. She asked questions about what I liked and didn't like for each dress, then helped select things I hadn't considered. She ended up picking the one I fell in love with.
Then for all of my return visits (try-on and alterations) the whole team always remembered me and was so exited to see me.
This place was an absolute gem and made my wedding experience fun and memorable.

Hope is Amazing

I had the pleasure of working with Hope throughout my engagement and wedding dress fitting and she was absolutely a joy to work with and i could not be happier with the help she provided throughout my planning process. I’m so sad it’s over because the staff at AE Bridal Chico felt like friends every time i had an appointment and I’ll miss working with them.

Always Elegant and Amazing

I found my dream dress here with their amazingly kind staff. I walked in with no idea of what I wanted, and Bree knew exactly what I wanted before I even walked in. Bree placed me in my dream dress and made the whole experience feel like a dream. I not only found my dress but they worked with me and found a small separate top to add to my dress to make it feel like 2 different dresses! I felt like a princess and there was no other thought when you are working with these women. Every step of the way, down to the week of my wedding, they made me feel so beautiful and heard. Bree and the girls designed my husbands suit and I never saw him in it till the wedding day. Let’s just say, he was perfect and handsome, as always. These women know what they are doing and they will do anything to make your day perfect! Love all you beautiful women!

They helped me find my perfect wedding dress. I felt like such a princess on my wedding day. I would highly recommend going to always elegant to find your wedding dress. They will not disappoint you.

Amazing experience

I went to AE Bridal after going to a corporate bridal store and not having a great experience. From the moment I walked in I was impressed. The bridal stylists made me feel super comfortable, were very helpful and made my experience an amazing one! I would highly recommend this boutique!!

A dream filled day

My experience with trying on bridal gowns was amazing because of this place. Sure the day was an emotional roller coaster but I found my dream dress that fit me like a glove! Literally feels like it was made for me. I went in with no idea on what would look good on me and they brought me several options and they were all beautiful. Highly recommend them.

Great experience and beautiful dress options

My first time wedding dress shopping I went to a boutique in Portland, OR with my mom, future mother-in-law and sister. I tried on many dresses that I had been loving online but felt awful in every single one of them. I don’t know if it was because the dresses were too small, or I wasn’t prepared for the disappointment of not finding “the one” at a store I had been stalking online for months.
A week later, I decided to go to AE Bridal in Yuba City, where I live. I made an appointment and went in with not many expectations. I was by myself and right away Jessica made me feel so comfortable. She sat me down and asked about my fiancé, what I was looking for in a dress, how I wanted to feel, budget and gushed over my engagement ring. Immediately, I was in a better headspace. The other great thing was that I was trying on dresses in my size or too big, so I felt much more confident and could really see how they would fit. We tried on about 5 dresses, but I knew #3 was the one. We video chatted my mom and Jessica and I made a video of me finding the one! A beautiful strapless, ivory, lace A-line Stella York gown. Jessica was so charismatic and helped boost my confidence. Ordering the dress and making payments was so easy with AE Bridal and I would recommend the store to any bride looking for her dream dress.
I got married last weekend and I got SOOOO many compliments on my dress. Everyone loved it! I can’t wait to see all of the photos.

As a wedding planner in the area, I've always sent my brides over to A/E for their huge selection of dresses! This time, as a bride, I had the opportunity to choose the dress of my dreams! With the help of my 15 closest friends, and of course the help of Bre herself, I found the one that made me tear up! I am getting married in 2 weeks, and to say I am excited to show my beautiful wedding dress to my soon to be husband is an understatement. Thank you Always Elegant, to their awesome team and of course amazing owner, for making me feel like a real bride. Special, and beautiful!

XO,
Delphine

Thank you to Always Elegant Bridal, I found my dream wedding dress! It was a wonderful experience from the very first phone call with Cheyanne to coming in and meeting her for my appointment. We shopped around picked out some amazing fun dresses to try on. The large dressing rooms were a plus! Very clean, elegant and the bride robes to wear were fun! Walking out in dresses and being able to be on the pedestal in front of the large mirrors was the perfect touch. Cheyanne was amazing the whole time, we had a wonderful time together we laughed, had fun, and she helped me find my my dream dress! When she asked me if I wanted to try on a veil I said yes and she came back with one, put it on and it was perfect! In the end, I said, YES TO THE DRESS AND THE VEIL! Thank you so much Cheyanne and Always Elegant Bridal.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
