Great experience

I had such a wonderful experience with Ellie's Bridal. They were punctual, very friendly, had an amazing variety of styles, and really listened to what I wanted. I never felt rushed or pressured into a decision, and every employee was helpful and kind. I wanted an overskirt as well which they had plenty of to choose from, and they helped me find a beautiful veil that perfectly matches my dress (plus a discount for buying the veil with the dress). Amazing experience that I would highly recommend to any bride. For reference I also went to Grace Loves Lace, David's Bridal and Global Bridal.

Dress below isn't what I picked but it almost made me want a second dress.

Said yes to the dress

I made a last minute appointment at Ellie’s and said yes to the dress so quickly. Chelsea was amazing throughout this whole process. I was able to find my dress and alterations went super well too. I can’t rave enough about them. I’m glad I found Ellie’s!!
