10/10 Would buy again!

Effie’s Bridal made me feel special and valued. They listened to my likes and dislikes and helped me find THE dress. Having the store to myself I felt special and honored to find the most important dress in my life.

Amazing amazing amazing

Effie's Bridal is nothing short of amazing. From their service to their gowns, I have yet to find another shop that comes close. Their team is invested in making sure you find the gown that is meant for YOU. They're not looking to put you in a pretty gown and send you on your way. They take the time to get to know you and your likes/dislikes and find the dress that will make you feel comfortable and beautiful. I started going to Effie's my senior year for a prom dress and now have found my wedding dress with them. In all those years that passed, their quality and service have remained unmatched. Effie's is worth the time and money because I look back at my wedding pictures smiling at how beautiful I felt that day. Thank you Effie's, I am sure I'll be back with friends looking for their perfect dress!

Wonderful Experience

I truly had the best experience at Effie’s Bridal! Andrew was my bridal consultant and really made it a memorable experience. This was the seventh (yes, seventh) store I went to in search for my wedding dress, and was hands down the best! There was not only a wide selection of stunning dresses, but the customer service is second to none. There was no pressure to purchase and no sales pitch. I didn’t feel rushed. Andrew helped us pick out several dresses and after the first appointment with Effie’s, I ended up cancelling my appointment at a different store to come back later that week to say yes to my dream dress (of course it was one Andrew picked out!). When I picked up my dress, it was perfect. I actually ended up ordering a bracelet that Andrew had styled with my dress as well. On my wedding day, I felt beautiful in my dress and got so many compliments on the dress details. I really couldn’t recommend Effie’s Bridal Trunk or Andrew more!

Loved my experience with Effie's!

The whole staff at Effie's is just wonderful! Piper was my consultant, and made me feel comfortable and beautiful (she actually picked my dress!). It was my first time shopping for dresses, and although I knew what I wanted she helped make it a reality. When I said yes to my dress, they popped champagne for me and my crew - so fun!

We also got our bridesmaids dresses through Effies, and that entire process was wonderful too. I was struggling to decide on dresses for my girls, and they were very patient with us.

After the wedding, I brought my dress into Effie's to get preserved, and once again that entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Effie's to everyone! They have gorgeous gowns, but their staff is what makes the experience.

Best Experience I could've asked for!

This was my second place going to try on wedding dresses. I was the type of bride that hadn't ever thought about my wedding, what I would look like or what I wanted, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The first place I went just didn't have the selection I was looking for, was crowded and overwhelming. What I love about Effie's Bridal is they didn't make me feel any pressure to find something and I was able to try on a variety of styles and figure out what I liked the most and what looked best on me.

My consultant was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable about things such as maybe not having such a long train since our wedding was in Sedona, AZ and not having too much fabric otherwise I would be too warm. She was respectful of our price range, as well as my guests' opinions about the dresses I was trying on also. She was really intuitive in figuring out what type of dress would be best for me.

I definitely was NOT expecting to have a "bridal moment" but after we narrowed it down to two dresses, the second one I tried on… I cried! It was prefect! I didn't have any second thoughts and all I thought about was wearing my gorgeous dress. They also have a really nice boutique. Clean spaces, separate from other brides trying things on, and I thought a really nice selection of dresses to choose from. I would recommend anyone to go here in search of the "the one!"

So helpful and easy to work with!

Everyone was so helpful and really cared about finding the perfect dress. They helped me find something within my budget and once the dress arrived they made sure it was exactly what I wanted. The store is SO cute and overall it was a wonderful experience!

Love, love, love

Effie's Bridal trunk is the best. The consultant knew my style better than I did and helped me pick a dress in my budget. They even popped the champagne when I said yes to my dress! Great experience 5 stars (I would give 10 if it were an option).

Effie’s Bridal Trunk

Effie’s was great to work with. Walking into the store they were very understanding about price and my wishes. They had so many different dresses to choose from, as well as accessories to choose from. They had many different options in many different price ranges.

The one...

The wedding dress specialist ended up picking out my dress. When I first saw it I thought it had too much bead work, but when I tried it on I fell in love!
I went back to the store with my mother and friends to try more on as well as to get their opinion on the one she had picked out for me. There were some close contenders but the original pick won! They gave us all a glass of champagne which we did not expect and was a great surprise!
I was moving to Ohio the week the dress was purchased and they offered to hold it until I visited in January. I had to get extra length since I am 6' 2". During alterations the seamstress noted the bottom was not cut straight so I had to get it altered so it was the same length.
Overall it was a great experience and would reccomend going here.
