My Daughter Was In A Bind

My daughter was in a bind after getting a dress from another state- it arrived ill-fitting. Went to Elle James Bridal. Wish she had gone there in the first place. We were assisted by Laura and Carrie Ann. Both were outstanding - friendly, professional, knowledgeable. Not pushy, either. My daughter was treated very well, and any father would earn points with their daughter by leading her to Elle James. I also met Kristin, the owner, who had been out of the store doing owner things for most of our time there. She was also friendly and professional.

Unique, classic, and fun!

I had an incredible experience at Elle James! I brought a big crew to help me pick out THE dress and the ladies graciously hosted us. Sarah was absolutely incredible and knew exactly what I was looking for based on my survey. They make this very intimate experience so personal and I never felt pressure to purchase that day. I did ultimately buy my dress from Elle James, and they made that process easy as well. They have been very responsive to all my questions. I cannot wait for my dress to come in so I can go back to Elle James!

Best bridal experience

I originally picked my first bridal gown in my hometown- and it turns out it just wasn't the "one." I made an appointment with Elle James (which was my first choice to begin with). Sarah was my consultant and made the process SO easy, fun, relaxing, comfortable, etc. I LOVED that it was just one bride per appointment. The environment was intimate and boutique, and the focus was really all on the bride. It was such a different experience than my first one in my hometown. All the ladies that work there are so sweet, and even gave me information about some vendors that I was inquiring about, even texting me after about some possible contacts. This is the BEST bridal experience. I will forever refer future brides here!

Dream Bridal Store!

Elle James was one of the best bridal experiences I had during the wedding planning process! It was the second store I had decided to dress shop at, and I had no clue what I was truly looking for at that point. With the help of Sarah, I found the dress, veil, AND accessories of my dreams! Sarah took every word I said and made sure I felt like the most beautiful bride during the appointment and on the day of my wedding. Their store is the cutest, and they have an amazing range of gowns, veils, accessories, and even rehearsal dinner dresses. I cannot recommend them enough to all the brides out there. 100/10 !!!

You NEED to go to Jackson, MS to get your wedding dress!

I had the BEST experience at Elle James Bridal! I would have never put myself in the silhouette of dress I bought and Kristin suggested I try it on and it ended up being THE ONE! Kristin and staff know these dresses and what looks best on each body type! When you go to a good stylist, you get the outcome you want! I can't recommend them enough. Not only is the shop DARLING inside and out, the whole staff was SO friendly and inviting! I can't wait to wear my dress on my wedding day and be reminded of just how comfortable, confident, sexy and happy I felt when I first tried it on. Also, Kristin has a great wedding podcast that has helped me gather information and hear about other brides experiences! Don't ask questions--just book a flight to Jackson, MS and go get your dream dress at Elle James Bridal!

The Best Experience

Our experience couldn't have been any better! Sarah listened to everything my daughter was looking for, and gave the perfect options to try on. We ended up getting the very first dress Sarah brought in. They put my daughter at ease and were very kind and professional. They really know what they are doing!

Beyond Satisfied!

This place is the place to beat. No where else did the service, attention, and experience matched. Kristen was top notch - she knows exactly how to read a bride. The store is adorable and each bridal party private. Our party was comfortable the entire time and made to feel welcome and included.

The Best of the Best

I cannot say enough good things about Elle James. We had such an incredible experience with them during my sister's engagement season 2 years prior to mine, I knew with zero doubts I wanted to be an Elle James Bride. I stayed up to date with them on social media, patiently/impatiently waiting for my turn. I was anxious that I would not find something suited for me since it is a small salon and I am so set on looking "different". When the girls put my dress on me, my words were "STUNNER". I am obsessed and I cannot wait to see my look come together on my wedding day. I love getting to stop by the salon for jewelry, guest book, anything I need. The staff is absolutely fantastic. They make me feel like we're all friends!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Elle James Bridal is truly the BEST bridal gown studio in Mississippi to find the perfect wedding dress. The owner, Kristin, gives you uninterrupted attention to help you find the dress of your dreams. I told Kristin my vision for my wedding dress and she immediately went to work to find it. Within a few hours, she told me that a dress was being shipped in for a few days to try it. Once I tried it on, I said YES to the dress within minutes. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
