Awesome staff! Very friendly and helped me find the right gown! They had no problem with me trying on about 20 different gowns since my family wanted to see everything! Highly recommend!

If you're looking for great selection of dresses or any formal wear, and want great staff that know their stuff go to Formalities in Bemidji, MN. The prices are reasonable and they take the time to really understand what kind of a style you are looking for and take the time to give that quality experience for everyone... and ALL their dresses are STUNNING! They have the exact same selection as any other place in the state!

I am so happy I chose to purchase my wedding dress, the bridesmaids dresses, bridal accessories and mother of the bride dress through Formalities even though I had to drive all the way from Stillwater. There was a definite benefit from shopping at a small town boutique versus the larger stores in the metro area. Tara, Cher and Tiffany were extremely helpful and found me the perfect wedding dress. I never felt pressured for a sale or rushed as I did at dress shops in the cities. When it came time for my fittings, Cher worked with my schedule to accommodate the fact that I had such a long drive. Cher made my dress fit like a glove and I looked absolutely stunning; she also created a faux fur stole to keep me warm for our North Shore fall wedding. The girls also chose the perfect jewelry and many guests commented on how well the accessories complimented the dress!
