The best ever!

I could never say enough good things about Heidi - She has the sweetest spirit, truly loves what she does, and listened to all of my wedding dress pros, cons, and dreams. She helped bring my vision to life and truly made me feel like the prettiest girl on earth. She even included a special piece on the inside of my dress that I requested as a surprise -- I lost my Mawmaw and best friend and simply asked if just somewhere there could be a butterfly because that was mine and my Mawmaw's "thing".. whenever I saw that she placed it over my heart I got chills. I honestly cried when I had to take my wedding dress off because it was so perfect and just like me. I highly suggest making an appointment so that she can design the wedding dress of your dreams, you won't regret it!

Magical experience! Timeless & fashion-forward couture design

Heidi is FUN to work with and is just a wonderful human all around! I knew I wanted fashion-forward, yet timeless dress designed by Heidi - I am proud that she is from my home state of Alabama and went to college at SCAD in Savannah, GA where our garden party soirée wedding weekend took place. It was meant to be. Within minutes of stepping foot into the atelier for the first time she came up with a beautiful, completely couture design and sketched away for my wedding gown, heirloom veil, and rehearsal dinner look. Little did I know that I would be donning a work-of-art…never before worn by anyone else. She made me the inspiration, which as a bride felt like a dream! During many appointments with her and her sweet seamstress, Carolyn, we became family and I never once felt like just another bride. We laughed and cut up every appointment which made me comfortable and less anxious about everything. I let Heidi have full creative freedom and she did not disappoint! I will forever be thankful for the experience I had with Heidi designing my gown. It was easily one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. I felt like the belle of the ball waltzing around Savannah all weekend in her designs! So many strangers commented and exclaimed in passing of how beautiful my wedding gown and rehearsal dinner outfit were. Every bride deserves to feel gorgeous on her wedding day. Trust Heidi and you will not regret it. She nailed the assignment!

Turned my moms wedding dress into my Rehearsal Dinner Outfit

Heidi went truly above and beyond!! I went in and asked her to turn my mom wedding dress into something I could wear for wedding weekend! Heidi exceeded all my exceptions— she brought my vision to life. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more! Heidi is a breath of fresh air to work with; it was truly an honor to have her apart of my wedding team!! She is so talented and so amazing to work with!! Couldn’t recommend her more 🤍

Excellent Experience

Heidi was amazing! She and all of the staff made me feel welcome from the start, and helped me design my dream dress. Every fitting felt so focused and personal, and everyone was so kind and helpful! I brought in my sisters dress that she purchased from Heidi Elnora years ago, and Heidi herself ensured that the dress was altered and redesigned to make it my own, while still preserving the sentimentality of sharing such a special dress with my sister. There was never even a thought to go anywhere else to find a dress - our family has had two wonderful experience with Heidi Elnora, and we sing her praises to anyone who will listen!

Outstanding Service

Picking out a wedding dress is not in my wheel house but Heidi met with me one on one and made the entire experience so much fun! She worked through different options and styles with me until I knew exactly what I wanted. She truly cares about her clients! She went above and beyond to accommodate me with whatever I needed! Heidi is the best!

The best experience

I could write an entire novel about my incredible experience with Heidi and her team.. but if you read all the way through this review, it will be worth it!

I went to 3 different boutiques in town and tried on no less than about 25 dresses. God gifted me Heidi and Liz, who immediately made me feel seen, listening intently and intentionally when I brought in a Vogue article from 2018 and asked for everything and more. The details are EVERYTHING and y’all, Heidi and her team went above and beyond. The pearl neckline, the hand lain and sewn neck lace detailing, the custom overlay that I needed for the church, removable long train... every detail down to the last centimeter was discussed and executed beautifully. I felt like every version of myself on my wedding day as I shed off the layers. The entire day, i felt totally confident in my dress that i characterize as not 1, not 2, but honestly 3 different looks. I was, and still am, so so proud to wear a Heidi creation!

My mother also had a custom dress done from complete scratch. She didn’t even have a color picked out and Heidi workshopped it from thin air.. my mom felt unique, glam and so fabulous in her custom gown!

This review would have something missing if we didn’t give kudos so Carolyn who quite literally sewed me into my dress and spent hours the week of my wedding making sure it was perfect. I miss the joy of going to see Heidi and visiting the atelier. She truly loves her work and it shows
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
