Love! So glad this place was recommended to me

Great deals to help prices! And a good amount of choices of dresses to choose from. I like the openness of the shop. It has a cute layout. The owner is very friendly and enthusiastic. She makes shopping for your dream dress fun. I bought my dress from here and had my alterations done through the seamstress they had. Even the price on my alterations was amazing. For sleeves being added on, the breast area being taken in, 3-4 inches off the bottom and my bustle it was around $200. Very affordable since another place quoted me more than double. I also bought my veil from here. The sparkle matches my dress perfectly. I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service, advice, and timely fashion everything got ordered and done. On my wedding day I felt exactly how I wanted to feel in my wedding gown ❤️

Lynn and Katrina are AMAZING!!!! I found my dream dress there, and it was the only one they had, fit me like a glove!! Since I bought my dress a year before my wedding, I was going out there every few months to make sure I was still fitting in it, and they were very helpful and accommodating with every visit!! I also purchased a gorgeous veil and headpiece that really complimented my gown so beautifully. 100% satisfied with my experience!!

I would definitely recommend this vendor for all your bridal needs. They are great to work with. I went to numerous shops trying to find a specific dress and I wasn't able to find it anywhere in the area. They were willing to order it in my size just for me to see and they didn't know for sure if I would even want the dress.

Loved working with the ladies @ Elegance Made Simple. They were always super helpful and friendly. I ordered my bridesmaid dresses and tuxes from them. I had a very large wedding party and they were more than accommodating. One of my groomsmen was measured in a different state and his pants came back about 5 inches short. They were quick to get a different pair before my wedding.
I highly recommend using them for any of your formal wear needs

They were very attentive to my needs as a bride. I was always welcomed warmly and offered wine, cheese, and crackers. They were so helpful with me being a wish washy bride, I had the hardest time committing to a dress! They were so patient the whole time! It seemed like they really enjoyed their job and told me about their wedding experiences! They always complemented me too and made me feel beautiful. I ended up purchasing the Marianne by Maggie Sottero and it was the best decision I ever made! I also got it in blush ivory and I loved the pink hue! It made my day pop!

The owners Cynde and Lynn stayed open late for me 2 nights so that I could find the perfect dress. I recommend their shop to anyone looking for a wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos!
