Highly Recommend!

I can’t thank Bridal Elegance enough! I absolutely LOVED my dress, and I received so many compliments. Angie Gurley was FANTASTIC to work with. She listened so well to what I wanted and helped me find the PERFECT dress. I asked to come back and try it on one more time before purchasing it, and she dropped everything (on a day that she was not scheduled to work) to make sure I was 100% confident in my dress choice. Truly the best service a bride could ask for! My seamstress was also AMAZING. I waited a lot longer than I should have to get alterations, but she was so accommodating and made my dress fit me like a glove. All around, the experience was wonderful, and I have already recommended Angie and Bridal elegance to many of my engaged friends. I will continue to do so!

Truly Elegant

I had an amazing experience finding my dress at Bridal Elegance! I thought I had found the one at another place, but still wanted to keep my appointment at Bridal Elegance. Emily was a dream to work with! She was so kind and sweet. I only tried on three dresses but ended up finding my dress that truly fit me! The entire staff was welcoming, professional, and so very kind. You can tell they really love celebrating brides and making their dreams come true. I will say that all the dresses I tried on were way too small, but Emily was able to clip and work magic so that I could see how the dresses would fit if they were the appropriate size. I plan to have my alterations done through them as well.
Update: alterations went great!! Every time I was there the staff complimented me on my dress. The entire process was so smooth. I even had some alterations done to my mom's veil and it turned out PERFECT!!

Nancy and Nicole

Nancy helped me and my sister pick perfect dresses for my wedding! She was kind and professional. She listened to what we had in mind and followed through.
Nicole helped us with the alteration process and checking out at the end of our visit and made sure we were very comfortable about prices and future appointments for alterations. Made very sure we are ready for the next few steps. I will highly recommend this beautiful bridal shop to friends and family!

I was so thankful this was the first place I went too to look for a dress, I was blessed with working with Angie! She was a delight! She made me feel extremely comfortable by helping me in and out of dresses and she also took the time to get to know me and my style and help me find the right dress! It was a dream picking my dress here!! I wish I could do it again! Thank you so much Bridal Elegance GR!!!

Highly Recommend!

I bought my original dress online but after Covid happened and our plans changed I began to worry that my dress may not be appropriate for a November wedding in Michigan. I went to Bridal Elegance expecting to buy a new dress but Emily worked with me to try on several dresses before we eventually settled on sticking with the dress I currently had and adding a bridal jacket to it.

I then had Nancy do all my alterations and she was FANTASTIC! She was fun, energetic and made the whole process smooth and easy. I cannot say enough good things about these guys. I was literally visiting them every Tuesday for a month and a half to make sure my alterations were perfect and I can honestly say they were.

Thank you!

Dream Dress!!

I had the most amazing time at Bridal Elegance in GR! I was nervous when I walked in and wasn’t sure what to expect but all of the ladies warmly greeted me and made me feel so special. Lisa took her time to help me find my perfect dress and never pressured me. She gave me lots of time to take pictures and for my family to take pictures. I wasn’t planning on finding my dress so fast but it happened and it’s my dream dress!! It’s absolutely perfect and couldn’t be happier.💗

Best Dress Shopping Experience that I had

The staff at Bridal Elegance was absolutely amazing when I went shopping for my dress. They were the first shop that I went to and far surpassed any others in their professionalism, kindness, and the quality of their dresses. Stephanie was very patient and wonderful to work with in helping me pick out my dress and was nice enough to let me try on my dress again before making the final purchase. All in all I would recommend Bridal Elegance to anybody looking for a place to shop in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.
