    Highly recommend

    10/10
    Highly recommend an Elegant Affair, where I purchased my dress and veil. They were patient with me and my indecisiveness and Katie was fabulous at narrowing down the styles I truly liked. She worked with me and my budget and helped me pick out the perfect dress, which I was able to get at a discount since I purchased it off the rack. I was also able to get my alterations done on site, which was very convenient. I loved supporting a local small business. Thank you, An Elegant Affair!

    Bridal Dream Vendor

    From the moment you walk in for your first appointment to the moment you walk out the door with your dress in hand, the women of An Elegant Affair are kind-hearted, patient, caring, respectful, and quickly become your best friends. When you arrive for your appointment, you & your guests can walk through the inventory and select the dresses that you’d like to try on! The bridal consultant assists you in trying on dresses, bridesmaids dresses, and tuxes! They have an in-house seamstress, Lisa, who works wonders and made my dream dress come to life.

    I showed Jen & Emily the dress I’d envisioned and they worked their bridal magic to make me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet on my wedding day. The dress, the tulle wings, the belt, the alterations, my husbands tux pieces. All perfection! Their patience and calmness was appreciated beyond words. I wish I could get married again so I could work with them again.

    Jen, Emily, & Lisa,
    Words cannot describe how much you three mean to me. Thank you 💕

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    Congratulations Mikaylah!! We have enjoyed you in store & have loved watching your perfect beach wedding come to life! Thank you for choosing to Be An Elegant Bride :)

    An Elegant Affair was amazing to work with. Every single person was always cheerful and smiling, and truly made you feel special. I found my dress, as well as my bridesmaids dresses here and did all my alterations here as well. Top notch service, speed, and execution. They were patient with me, always welcoming, and super helpful! Highly recommend An Elegant Affair for all your bridal needs!

    Best dress shop in Iowa!!!

    I had the BEST experience at An Elegant Affair! Liz (and the rest of the team) were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process. I hadn't really gone dress shopping before, but they were so patient while I tried on a bunch of different styles before finding my perfect dress. I didn't feel rushed to make a decision and went back multiple times before making a final decision. I was specifically looking for a Made With Love dress and they are the only store in Iowa that carries that brand! They truly had the best selection of dresses I had seen in this area. I highly recommend checking them out!

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much Megan!!! You were a joy to work with & looked absolutely stunning in your Made With Love gown!!! Congrats!

    Made Our Dreams Come True

    Jen and the team at An Elegant Affair were so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to help make sure everything was just perfect. When I was indecisive about what jewelry they ordered two kinds so I could try both on and see which was best to complete the set. From their inventory to alterations, An Elegant Affair is a one stop shop to ensure you have the absolute best dress on your wedding day.

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much, Taylor! We are so happy to have been able to make your perfect day come to life with ease! We wish you a lifetime of happiness! Congratulations :)

    A gem of the midwest

    When I first contacted An Elegant Affair I was in desperation. Six weeks from my wedding day, after falling out of love with my first dress, I was looking for a specific Made With Love gown that I had tried on earlier in the process. Not only did Jen and her team have the dress, they didn’t hesitate to help me. Endless tears, constant nerves and one road trip across the Midwest later, Jen’s team gave me the dress of my dreams – and the perfect veil to go with it. A special thanks to all the ladies at An Elegant Affair for making me feel (and look) amazing on my big day.

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much Erica! We were more than happy to help you. So awesome that we had the dress you envisioned!! You looked beautiful!! Congratulations! :)

    I purchased all of my bridesmaids dresses from An Elegant Affair, and they did an amazing job and made the day so fun. All of the dresses were different and they helped put all of them together. They called to give me updates. Would definitely use them again!

    Best dress shopping experience!

    All future brides in the Cedar Falls area should for sure make a stop An Elegant Affair! I went to several stores before finding my dress there. They had a great selection! It was by far the best experience out of all the places I went! Alterations were amazing, it made the dress feel like it was made for me! I also purchased my hair piece and veil there, very high quality and worth the price! I got so many compliments on my wedding day! Staff is amazing too! I highly recommend this store!!

    I ordered my bridesmaid dresses from An Elegant Affair and they looked stunning on the girls. The dresses arrived after 1 1/2-2 months of ordering them. They were very reasonably priced, and the employees were easy to work with. I did not order my wedding dress from here, as I found one at a different store that was the one for me (don't get me wrong, An Elegant Affair has many dresses to choose from and they are gorgeous!). After running into many difficulties with the other store, I am now referring ALL brides to An Elegant Affair for their bridal needs. The same store that I ordered my dress from told me 3 weeks after supposedly "ordering my veil" that they no longer could get it. I was now in a big time crunch to order a veil as my wedding was quickly approaching. I went to An Elegant Affair Bridal to see if they could help me out and Jen, the owner, assured me that I would have a veil for my wedding and that she would help me out. In fact, she had an extra veil in stock and it ended up being perfect for me! Like stated above, I will be referring all brides to An Elegant Affair Bridal in Cedar Falls!

    We were happy to help and glad everything worked out! You and your girls were great to work with :)

    We got everything for the bridal party at An Elegant Affair. This also included the flower girl dresses and the dresses for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. Everything was perfect. I had a bridesmaid who was pregnant and everyone was very flexible in not only letting her come in to try the dress on late but to also have alterations done quickly the week of the wedding to make sure it fit. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    The ladies at An Elegant Affair in Cedar Falls were so wonderful. I went there after I thought I had found the dress I was going to get elsewhere just to see what they had. I randomly tried on a two-piece dress that seemed so simple and ended up loving it! They were more than willing to let me make an appointment to return to put the dress back on to show my mom, as I had been with a friend the first time. I had a few family members who were not sure of my dress choice and the girls there kept telling me that if this was what I wanted it's what I should get and so I got it and I do not regret it! I got many many compliments on my dress on my wedding day. The dress itself was a little pricey but I had been saving for about a year beforehand so I was willing to pay a little more. I highly recommend An Elegant Affair in Cedar Falls for your wedding gown needs.

    Thank you so much Audrey! We love how you customized your Mikaella gown to be exactly what YOU wanted! That is the most important thing to us; that you LOVE your gown!

    Jen and her staff at Elegant Affair went above and beyond to create my dream dress! I live on the East Coast and chose to purchase my wedding dress from an Elegant Affair because the value that they provided with professionalism, responsiveness, flexibility in scheduling appointments for when I was in town, and just all-around help in achieving my wedding-day vision was far-and-above what you would get elsewhere. From prom dresses to wedding dresses and everything in between, I wouldn't (and haven't) go anywhere else! I can't recommend this store enough.

    Thank you sooooo much Allie! We are happy that you had a wonderful experience here!

    We had a wonderful experience at An Elegant Affair! I had visited 4 other bridal boutiques and started to compare one dress to the rest (a sure sign that you've found the one!). The boutique where I had originally tried on the dress didn't allow photos. After shopping, I quickly came to realize that I didn't always like how I looked in a photo compared to how I looked in the mirror, so it was important to me to go somewhere where photos were allowed. I found out this particular gown was at An Elegant Affair and quickly booked an appointment. After our visit, I knew that it had all played out the way it was supposed to. Purchasing the gown and having alterations done at An Elegant Affair couldn't have gone more smoothly. I'd like to give a special shout out to Brooke for being a top notch consultant and to Lisa, who I would like to say is the best wedding seamstress in all the land! We felt special each and every time we visited and they were flexible about changes made to the dress. I couldn't have been happier with our experience. Thank you!

    All the girls at An Elegant Affair are very professional. They were very attentive and quick to help me with anything I needed. They were very nice and made me feel comfortable. There were so many beautiful dresses to choose from. I found my dress the first day there. I picked out my veil once my dress came in and they made sure it was here in plenty of time before my wedding. I also got my alterations done there and the price for that was very reasonable. Overall great experience!!

    An Elegant Affair Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much, Bridgette for your kind words! We strive to give each and every bride the best possible experience! We hope your wedding day was everything you dreamed of and more!
