Wonderful Experience All Around

I knew I wanted a "Made with Love" gown and they had several from that designer to try on. They are the only stockist near me and I Iive 2.5 hours from this boutique. I fell in love with my dress and my experience at An Elegant Affair. I had looked at two other shops prior to finding this one and had less than positive experiences, but they made up for it and were amazing to work with. I was also about 6 months pregnant when I started looking and they were great with helping me figure out when to actually start trying on dresses and the process after I had my daughter was seamless as they met every expectation. Turn around time on alterations was also fantastic. I look forward to returning my dress to them to be stored for our reception and then later on preserved. The girls at An Elegant Affair have been so wonderful to work with.

Highly recommend

10/10
Highly recommend an Elegant Affair, where I purchased my dress and veil. They were patient with me and my indecisiveness and Katie was fabulous at narrowing down the styles I truly liked. She worked with me and my budget and helped me pick out the perfect dress, which I was able to get at a discount since I purchased it off the rack. I was also able to get my alterations done on site, which was very convenient. I loved supporting a local small business. Thank you, An Elegant Affair!

Bridal Dream Vendor

From the moment you walk in for your first appointment to the moment you walk out the door with your dress in hand, the women of An Elegant Affair are kind-hearted, patient, caring, respectful, and quickly become your best friends. When you arrive for your appointment, you & your guests can walk through the inventory and select the dresses that you’d like to try on! The bridal consultant assists you in trying on dresses, bridesmaids dresses, and tuxes! They have an in-house seamstress, Lisa, who works wonders and made my dream dress come to life.

I showed Jen & Emily the dress I’d envisioned and they worked their bridal magic to make me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet on my wedding day. The dress, the tulle wings, the belt, the alterations, my husbands tux pieces. All perfection! Their patience and calmness was appreciated beyond words. I wish I could get married again so I could work with them again.

Jen, Emily, & Lisa,
Words cannot describe how much you three mean to me. Thank you 💕

Are you interested?

Best dress shop in Iowa!!!

I had the BEST experience at An Elegant Affair! Liz (and the rest of the team) were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process. I hadn't really gone dress shopping before, but they were so patient while I tried on a bunch of different styles before finding my perfect dress. I didn't feel rushed to make a decision and went back multiple times before making a final decision. I was specifically looking for a Made With Love dress and they are the only store in Iowa that carries that brand! They truly had the best selection of dresses I had seen in this area. I highly recommend checking them out!

I found my dream dress at An Elegant Affair. Emily helped me out a lot and she was so nice. I tried on probably 20 dresses and she was so patient with me. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Dress Experience!

An Elegant Affair was amazing to work with. Every single person was always cheerful and smiling, and truly made you feel special. I found my dress, as well as my bridesmaids dresses here and did all my alterations here as well. Top notch service, speed, and execution. They were patient with me, always welcoming, and super helpful! Highly recommend An Elegant Affair for all your bridal needs!

Made Our Dreams Come True

Jen and the team at An Elegant Affair were so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to help make sure everything was just perfect. When I was indecisive about what jewelry they ordered two kinds so I could try both on and see which was best to complete the set. From their inventory to alterations, An Elegant Affair is a one stop shop to ensure you have the absolute best dress on your wedding day.

A gem of the midwest

When I first contacted An Elegant Affair I was in desperation. Six weeks from my wedding day, after falling out of love with my first dress, I was looking for a specific Made With Love gown that I had tried on earlier in the process. Not only did Jen and her team have the dress, they didn’t hesitate to help me. Endless tears, constant nerves and one road trip across the Midwest later, Jen’s team gave me the dress of my dreams – and the perfect veil to go with it. A special thanks to all the ladies at An Elegant Affair for making me feel (and look) amazing on my big day.

Best dress shopping experience!

All future brides in the Cedar Falls area should for sure make a stop An Elegant Affair! I went to several stores before finding my dress there. They had a great selection! It was by far the best experience out of all the places I went! Alterations were amazing, it made the dress feel like it was made for me! I also purchased my hair piece and veil there, very high quality and worth the price! I got so many compliments on my wedding day! Staff is amazing too! I highly recommend this store!!

I purchased all of my bridesmaids dresses from An Elegant Affair, and they did an amazing job and made the day so fun. All of the dresses were different and they helped put all of them together. They called to give me updates. Would definitely use them again!

I ordered my bridesmaid dresses from An Elegant Affair and they looked stunning on the girls. The dresses arrived after 1 1/2-2 months of ordering them. They were very reasonably priced, and the employees were easy to work with. I did not order my wedding dress from here, as I found one at a different store that was the one for me (don't get me wrong, An Elegant Affair has many dresses to choose from and they are gorgeous!). After running into many difficulties with the other store, I am now referring ALL brides to An Elegant Affair for their bridal needs. The same store that I ordered my dress from told me 3 weeks after supposedly "ordering my veil" that they no longer could get it. I was now in a big time crunch to order a veil as my wedding was quickly approaching. I went to An Elegant Affair Bridal to see if they could help me out and Jen, the owner, assured me that I would have a veil for my wedding and that she would help me out. In fact, she had an extra veil in stock and it ended up being perfect for me! Like stated above, I will be referring all brides to An Elegant Affair Bridal in Cedar Falls!

We got everything for the bridal party at An Elegant Affair. This also included the flower girl dresses and the dresses for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. Everything was perfect. I had a bridesmaid who was pregnant and everyone was very flexible in not only letting her come in to try the dress on late but to also have alterations done quickly the week of the wedding to make sure it fit. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The ladies at An Elegant Affair in Cedar Falls were so wonderful. I went there after I thought I had found the dress I was going to get elsewhere just to see what they had. I randomly tried on a two-piece dress that seemed so simple and ended up loving it! They were more than willing to let me make an appointment to return to put the dress back on to show my mom, as I had been with a friend the first time. I had a few family members who were not sure of my dress choice and the girls there kept telling me that if this was what I wanted it's what I should get and so I got it and I do not regret it! I got many many compliments on my dress on my wedding day. The dress itself was a little pricey but I had been saving for about a year beforehand so I was willing to pay a little more. I highly recommend An Elegant Affair in Cedar Falls for your wedding gown needs.

We had a wonderful experience at An Elegant Affair! I had visited 4 other bridal boutiques and started to compare one dress to the rest (a sure sign that you've found the one!). The boutique where I had originally tried on the dress didn't allow photos. After shopping, I quickly came to realize that I didn't always like how I looked in a photo compared to how I looked in the mirror, so it was important to me to go somewhere where photos were allowed. I found out this particular gown was at An Elegant Affair and quickly booked an appointment. After our visit, I knew that it had all played out the way it was supposed to. Purchasing the gown and having alterations done at An Elegant Affair couldn't have gone more smoothly. I'd like to give a special shout out to Brooke for being a top notch consultant and to Lisa, who I would like to say is the best wedding seamstress in all the land! We felt special each and every time we visited and they were flexible about changes made to the dress. I couldn't have been happier with our experience. Thank you!

Jen and her staff at Elegant Affair went above and beyond to create my dream dress! I live on the East Coast and chose to purchase my wedding dress from an Elegant Affair because the value that they provided with professionalism, responsiveness, flexibility in scheduling appointments for when I was in town, and just all-around help in achieving my wedding-day vision was far-and-above what you would get elsewhere. From prom dresses to wedding dresses and everything in between, I wouldn't (and haven't) go anywhere else! I can't recommend this store enough.

All the girls at An Elegant Affair are very professional. They were very attentive and quick to help me with anything I needed. They were very nice and made me feel comfortable. There were so many beautiful dresses to choose from. I found my dress the first day there. I picked out my veil once my dress came in and they made sure it was here in plenty of time before my wedding. I also got my alterations done there and the price for that was very reasonable. Overall great experience!!

My sister had shopped here for her wedding dress and had such a great experience I knew I would want my dress from An Elegant Affair as well. The experience trying dresses on until the week of my wedding was great. Jen is amazing to work with. I absolutely loved my dress and still wish I could wear it around the house everyday. :)

Jen and the ladies at An Elegant Affair go above beyond to make sure you feel like a princess on your big day. To say they are beyond helpful is an understatement. I had an issue with a bridesmaid dress not fitting and Jen went out of her way to help me and provide a solution. I could not be happier with my gown and and my bridesmaid dresses!

I had a very positive experience with An Elegant Affair and would recommend them to any bride. I not only got my dress there but my bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid dresses there as well. Owner Jen and her girls were always there to answer any questions that I may have had. If I needed a swatch, it would be mailed to me immediately. Alterations were always timely. Not to mention, we had an issue with one of my bridesmaid dresses being too small, but An Elegant Affair quickly took care of it, so that was one less thing I had to worry about. If I could give them over a 5 for a rating, I would.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Elegant Affair. As a first time Bride, I felt the most pressure in finding a perfect dress. The staff was so helpful and patient. I had several appointments before pulling the trigger on ‘the one’, and they didn’t seem to mind one bit! They were very accommodating with alterations and so easy to work with. Their selection was far larger than anyone else I visited in the Cedar Valley, as well. I would definitely recommend An Elegant Affair to future brides!

I had an amazing experience with An Elegant Affair. This was the first shop I went to for dress shopping, and all of the staff were amazing! I did not feel as if they were breathing down my back while I was looking at dresses, yet if I had a question they were there and willing to answer. They helped me get into every dress, which I thought was normal until I went to other dress shops where I did not have any help. It can be a difficult task alone. Every single staff member was very friendly, and when it came time for alterations they remembered who I was and greeted me by name when I walked in the door!

Great atmosphere, great staff, and great selection! The entire Elegant Affair Bridal team was very helpful from beginning to end. They were knowledgeable about styles as well as great at trouble shooting any issues that came up. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to feel like they are in good hands the day of their wedding :)

I moved to Cedar Falls from Minneapolis right after we got engaged. I was looking for a particular dress and I called an Elegant Affair, they gave me their email address and I sent them photos and they were able to point me in the right direction. The original dress that the sales woman recommended I was not interested in, but my mother made me try it on and it was PERFECTION. I wore it all day in Vegas on my wedding day and I got so many compliments and people asking me where I got it. It was absolutely stunning. Very unique yet classic. A lot of dresses these days look the same or are too modern, sequins, puffy, not form fitting but this dress was incredible without all of these things. This dress made my wedding day everything it was meant to be. I've never felt so beautiful. Thank you, Elegant Affair! Your team is amazing.

An Elegant Affair was so helpful and welcoming. When I first went I narrowed my dress search down to 5 beautiful gowns then on my second visit found my gorgeous wedding dress. Jacy helped me all along the way with great customer service. Whenever I went back to the shop for fittings I was greeted by name, I had the greatest experience!

Found the most beautiful dress for my wedding day!! Want to thank the helpful staff who made it possible. I had options I wanted to try on and none of them worked. The lady that was working with me decided to bring me something she thought would look good on me and it was the one! I loved everything about it and it was the most perfect dress for our special day!
Thank you so much!

Jen and the girls at An Elegant Affair Bridal exceeded all of my wedding dress shopping expectations! I was able to find my dream dress, a perfect veil, and shoes and jewelry that completed my look! I would definitely recommend them to any bride to be looking for a store that has a great selection with unbeatable customer service!

I would rate my experience with An Elegant Affair an A+. The ladies who helped me find my dress were extremely professional and kind. I thought I had my dress selection narrowed down to 2 dresses, when one of the young ladies who worked there said she had something in mind just for me. I tried it on and fell in love with it. I thought it was so thoughtful that she had her eyes open for something just for me! I ended up buying the dress. The workers here are great about remembering your name, your taste in dresses and really know what they are doing. My husband, the groomsmen, bridesmaids, the ring bearer and our dads looked absolutely stunning in their attire. I would definitely recommend this business to everyone!

I went to An Elegant Affair and one other bridal store on the search for the perfect dress. An Elegant Affair was a wonderful experience. The consultants are always friendly and extremely helpful. They go above and beyond to meet your needs and help to find the dress for you. They are not pushy to force you into purchasing a dress and encourage you to look around. The other store I went to was an awful experience after going to An Elegant Affair. I did not even want to try any dresses on. I ended up going right back to An Elegant Affair to purchase my dress. I highly recommend going there to find the perfect dress for you. They are always enthusiastic about your wedding planning and wedding countdown. They are just wonderful!

Each member of the Elegant Affair staff was extremely helpful during each part of the wedding attire process. Even if I didn't have an appointment, their staff was critical in helping me feel comfortable and ready for my big day. I would recommend their services and selection to anyone!

I am so glad I found my wedding dress at An Elegant Affair! I had looked at a handful of stores in Iowa and Minnesota before my appointment at An Elegant Affair, and I wish I would have went there first! My appointment was such a fun experience, I tried on so many beautiful dresses before choosing my dress. Jen was so kind and patient with me. I ended up going back to the store many times to look at bridesmaid dresses before ordering, and the girls were so friendly and helpful each time. All our dresses came in very quickly, and we all loved them. One of my bridesmaids also found out she was pregnant after ordering her dress, and the staff had no problem getting extra fabric ordered for her. I called and stopped in the store many times during my wedding planning process and each time I was so happy with how helpful and friendly each staff member was! I am so glad we purchased our dresses from An Elegant Affair, I would 100% recommend the store to everyone!!

Highly recommend!!

I had a wonderful experience at An Elegant Affair Bridal! The team was professional, laid back and made the dress shopping experience fun. I absolutely loved the ‘Made with Love’ dress that I wore on my wedding day. The ironic part was that I came in with a photo of the MWL dress I saw online that I wanted and ended up getting that same one!

Wonderful Service, Beautiful Selection

The entire team at An Elegant Affair was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We had great experiences each appointment, whether choosing my dress or having it fitted. Jen saw my vision of my dream dress and made suggestions to alter a gown that made it absolutely perfect. Their selection was also fantastic

I can't tell you how much I loved getting my wedding dress from the girls at An Elegant Affair. From the first day that I stopped in to try on dresses, I knew I would find the perfect one. All the girls felt like friends rather than someone just selling me a dress. I thoroughly enjoyed going to each and every appointment for fittings. I highly recommend An Elegant Affair to anyone and everyone engaged and looking to have a great time shopping for their perfect dress.

Staff was very friendly and I found the dress of my dreams! They tailored it nicely, although I feel that the tailoring was overpriced.

From the moment I walked into the door the ladies greeted me and my party. I was in and out of the store (it was my first one) within a half an hour with a dress picked out and paid for. It was so easy and they were so helpful. They were also extremely helpful when I needed a sample of the color of my dress so I could use it for planning purposes. I walked in randomly one day and they were quick to get me the swatch. I've loved my experience so far.

This experience of buying my wedding dress and having it fitted was amazing. I would recommend the shop to any bride, bridesmaid, etc. The staff at the shop were very genuine and helpful!
My only complaint would be my experiences with the seamstress. Although she ended up doing a great job, she was not friendly or easy to talk with about questions and concerns I had with the fitting of my dress. I would recommend the shop, however suggest finding a different seamstress rather than having it fitted there.

Everyone that works there will great you with a smile. They get just as excited as you do when you're trying on dresses. If you have any concerns they always have an answer. The store gets hectic but they make it an enjoyable experience.

The owner is fabulous and the girls up front are great to work with and are as flexible as possible. They have a wonderful seamstress in the shop about 2-3 days per week. My only disappointment is there were pins left in the bottom of my gown which i found out the hard way while i was walking and getting stabbedin my feet. This was very upsetting and I was also pissed she had me pay for a bustle and they NEVER taught any of my girls how to bustle it so I paid additional money for the bustle for nothing because none of them knew how to do so it stayed down the entire time i was in my dress which was a hazard while dancing! Someone definitely stepped on my train and ripped my gown ? which cost well over a thousand dollars!

You're not going to get raging deals at An Elegant Affair, but we loved their customer service and the quality of our dresses. We purchased dresses for me, my sister/MOH and niece/flower girl here and the whole experience was pretty stress-free. By the way, their alterations person works wonders. LOVE her.

I splurged on my wedding dress and was very glad that I did. The lace on the dress was very delicate and we had some issues during fitting with the straps not laying right. The seamstress made a couple of adjustments and after a couple of fittings, it was perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect dress for my wedding. Thanks for all your help!

I purhcased my wedding dress back in July, months before my wedding because of moving. An Elegant Affair housed my dressed until I was able to get back to Iowa. They also took great care of my bridesmaids after having quite the fiasco with material. A few days before our wedding date I arrived back to Iowa to try my dress on at my parents home, after having it on for a while we notice light brown stains all over my skirt. I believe it was from dirty water in the steamer. The staff was trying to be very helpful and eventually we were able to clean the entire skirt, leaving only minor stains to see in the sunlight. Moral of the story make sure you check your dress over before it leaves the store.

Horrible service. They ordered the dresses in the wrong sizes. Then they wanted the bridesmaids from out of town to keep coming back to get them fitted multiple times, never having a seamstress on site. Absolutely horrible alteration. Sewed the top half smaller but didn't follow through on the skirt so there was a huge bulge. Then they told us to take a picture of the dress and they would alter it off the picture. This happened to three of the bridesmaids so it wasn't a random occurrence. All three found aunt/mother who was able to fix it, so it wasn't as if it were a difficult job. Employees were rude and unorganized and offered no help. All of the bridesmaids were given different instructions on alterations and pickups. The dresses were expensive so you would think that the customer service would be excellent. Definitely not the case. Would recommend this shop to no one.
