    Intimate Appointment Style

    I had absolutely the BEST experience at Heidi Elnora Atelier! I was treated so wonderfully and absolutely fell in love with my dress, and when my dress came in it fit me perfectly! The whole process was so intimate and made me feel so special. I 100% recommend the Atelier for your wedding dress!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    Amazing!

    A down to earth wonderful woman who made my stressed wedding tears turn into happy tears by the end of the appointment! Would recommend her to each and every one of my friends and family! In fact, my sister designed her wedding dress with Heidi and the appointment went so smoothly that I knew when my time came to pick out a wedding dress, I would be going to Heidi to create my dream dress as well! BEST EXPERIENCE!!!

    Lindsey, This is the sweetest and means the world to us. Thank you for trusting us and allowing us to take sweet care of you. We are so thankful to have you as a #heidibride.

    I was a bride searching for my wedding dress

    Heidi is a wonderful person! She makes you feel comfortable and confident when you’re trying dresses/looks no matter your body type or insecurities. She also helps you work around your price point and makes sure you don’t go over budget. I cannot sing her praises loud enough! I am and always have been very insecure about my body which created a lot of anxiety around trying on dresses. Heidi and her mom made those worries melt away. They make the wedding dress shopping experience feel special, fun, and joyful! I love Heidi and her team!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    You are a beautiful bride and delighted you feel good about yourself and your bridal gown...makes us happy!

    The most special and magical experience at heidi elnora Atelier!

    Heidi was such a joy to work with! She helped me find the dress of my dreams and the process was easy and stress free because of her kind demeanor. She made the reveal of the dress and veil feel so special, emotional, and magical. Heidi will make you feel so important and beautiful. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else for your wedding gown! Heidi will make sure you get the gown of your dreams!! I could not be any happier that I went to heidi elnora Atelier to find my wedding dress!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    Thank you, again, for the complimentary review. The Atelier is pleased to serve and embrace a bit of magic.

    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!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    Thank you sweet Emily! We adore you and our honored to be a part of your special day. You look beautiful.

    Mother of bride

    Walking into her building I was not sure what to expect. The minute I stepped through the doors, it was just beautiful and welcoming. The camaraderie between Heidi and my daughter was fascinating to watch. The way they designed her dress together was incredible to see. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

    Heidi is the best ever.

    As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted to go to Heidi for a custom dress. She made my mom and I feel so comfortable and went through and explained everything to us! On top of that, she helped design the DRESS of my dreams. Could not be more THRILLED to be a Heidi bride!!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    Congratulations! So thankful we could help you design your dream dress. It is so very unique and special...JUST LIKE YOU!!!!

    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!

    So outstanding!

    I absolutely loved working with Heidi. After visiting a few other places and not finding THE DRESS, I was beyond happy when Heidi said she could make it happen for me! She was a blessing in the process and I could not recommend her more. I can’t wait to see the final product ❤️

    The Best Experience!


    My experience as a Mother of the Bride looking for a wedding dress was made so much easier with our visit to Heidi Elnora
    The first time I met Heidi I knew we were in the right place. She was great at making my daughter and myself comfortable. Heidi listened to what we each were looking for in a dress.
    My husband and I picked up the dress,since our daughter lives and works out of town. Heidi was so sweet to FaceTime with my daughter so she could be a part of the dress pick up. Heidi answered all our questions. I appreciated her suggestions from the earrings to the shoes that would be perfect with the dress.
    The dress is beautiful!!! I know my daughter will feel extra special and beautiful on her wedding day in her Heidi Elnora original.

    Congratulations and thank you! Our goal is to serve our best in every way. We can't wait to see pictures.

    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 🤍

    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!

    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!

    Dreamy & stress-free!

    Heidi + her team are absolutely amazing to work with. The whole process was truly flawless. Heidi, Lauren, and Elizabeth were angels and so easy to connect with. I initially felt so nervous about finding a wedding dress for this huge day but was immediately put at ease when I walked in. The Build-a-Bride collection was perfect for me because Elizabeth and I found elements from a few dresses that could be seamlessly put together and became my dream dress. All of the amazing ladies there are so kind and truly have a magical intuition! I wholly recommend them to any bride to be!!

    heidi elnora Atelier's reply:

    Thank you so very much! We strive for the selection of the Wedding gown to be a happy, joyful experience.

    Vintage Dress Reimagined

    Heidi helped me recreate the same dress my grandmother, great aunts, aunts, cousins, and mother all wore! It was even better than I could have ever imagined! Every detail in the design was so special and thoughtful and I love Heidi dearly!!! She made me feel like I was her only bride and took her time patiently and gracefully working through the many challenges of recreating a dress that has been worn down the aisle 7 times! Thank you Heidi!

    An amazing experience!

    I went to a few other bridal shops before booking my appointment at Heidi Elnora. I thought that the others were good experiences but I absolutely fell in LOVE when I put on my first Heidi Elnora gown. As a teenager, I use to watch the popular reality show "Say Yes to the Dress." I remember laughing with my friends about how silly some of the brides on the show sounded when they said things like "I feel like a bride." Okay.. it is true. I could have seen myself walking down the aisle in every single one of Heidi's lovely dresses. It was when I put on the first Heidi Elnora gown that I truly felt like it was me getting married, having a WEDDING, and when I truly felt "like a bride." Every single dress I tried on was beautifully made with such attention to detail. From my first appointment to my wedding day, I felt like family at Heidi Elnora. I have had four other friends find their dream dresses with Heidi and we all have raved about the experience. I am so proud that I found my dream wedding dress with Heidi Elnora.
