I LOVE Simply Elegant by Cheri!

I absolutely adored my wedding dress appointment here! I was with Nicole, but all of the other ladies and the owner came over the whole time to check on me and talk about the dresses. I loved all of their personalities, it was like I had a group of friends with me! It was just me and my mom there, but they had room for a lot of people. I had a small budget and I wasn’t sure they’d have anything in my price range, but I tried on 8-10 dresses and found one that fit almost perfect! I took it home that day, and they gave me a dress bag and a rose to take home with me.

Amazing!!!

Best experience hands down. My stylist Nichole was so kind and helpful and a real joy to work with and my experience would not have been the same without her. I would recommend anyone check this place out if looking for a wedding dress or a prom dress!

Great experience

Cheri was very helpful in finding my wedding dress. I appreciated her honesty and opinion in my dress selection. She has a beautiful store with a great selection of dresses. I went back a second time to find bridesmaids dresses. She was patient with me and helped me find the colors I wanted and dresses that would work for all three girls. I would recommend her for any bride to be.

Love Love Love!!!

Cheri and her team are so incredible!
They helped me find the exact style that I was interested while staying in my budget and also found styles for me to try on just because!
They listened to me and were not pushy. They helped me with any questions I had at all.
They even had me come in to steam it before the wedding for a very low price.
Overall, Cheri and her team are incredible and I highly recommend a trip to Lincoln to see them!

I ended up choosing the Morilee dress #5811 Sahara.

Thank you Cheri!

Owner is a liar and you are worthless to her unless you are buying an expensive wedding dress.

Owner Cheri does not tell the truth when she has treated people horribly in her shop. She tells lies saying that our group took dresses in the bathroom and threw them in the floor and somehow at the same time, we apparently threw the same dresses at her staff who weren't helping us. If we were doing that, she'd have called the cops. She even gave herself a 5 star review on Google so apparently it's been getting harder to keep up the decent rating. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
