Always Elegant Bridal and Tuxedo

was my consultant and she was phenomenal to work with. The dress I purchased was one she picked out before even meeting me. She was so attentive and kind, and extremely helpful and I never felt rushed. All the dresses she picked out for me were gorgeous and what I was looking for. I can’t wait to go back and pick up my dream dress!

g for in a dress. It was truly the best experience

line and budget. I appreciated the AE team calling before my appointment to get an idea of what I was looking for to be prepared for the appointment- made it go very smoothly!

ess I tried on. She was so uplifting and positive and made feel so beautiful in every dress! I would definitely recommend people to Hope and AE Bridal!

me feel from finding my dress to sending it off to be cleaned after our wedding.

my overall experience. Zoë made my experience better than I could have imagined, she was so kind and personable. She really listened to everything I said and made me feel SO beautiful. It felt like we were on the same page the whole appointment, which again she went above and beyond for. She is the BEST! AE itself was BEAUTIFUL, so stylish and modern. I was between three dresses, which is a GREAT problem to have considering I went in SO nervous that I wouldn’t find a dress for me. If I could go back and relive the day, I absolutely would. I’m so thankful for AE and Zoë for making my experience incredible and SO memorable.

tremely knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring. I didn't go in expecting to find my dress, but I fell in love with one within my first 3 dresses. This was truly a wonderful and emotional day, and I'm so grateful to AE Bridal for all their help and support.

my accessories too. I highly recommend for your wedding needs.

rs. I started to feel slightly defeated because I wasn’t feeling great about anything, and they were so patient. My consultant found my dress and it is a combination of everything I wanted. I am SO excited to wear it on my big day and can’t wait for my fiancé to see it. Another thing they did very well at was pulling dresses within our price range. They weren’t pushy to try and get us up to the next range which was very appreciated.

er store in Yuba city so that you can try on any dress that you want! Zoe and Bri were so much help in my decision to say yes! They were willing to help place the dress, add sleeves, take off sleeves, help me try on multiple veils, and do anything else that I needed. They gave honest opinions and great suggestions. They never made me feel rushed or out of place! I could not have found a better place to chose my wedding dress! I could not have said “yes” to the dress without Zoe and Bri! I will definitely be using them for my bridesmaid dresses! Highly recommend this shop to any bride!

wever, this was not the case at AE! From the moment I reached out and called them, Hope was very friendly, informative and personable. She went out of her way to get know me while I was booking an appointment. When I arrived in the shop I noticed the beautiful aesthetics and the handwritten card with my name on it; so cute right?! Hope was so knowledgeable about all of the dresses and helped me stay within my budget. She helped me get into every single dress and helped make the trying-on experience a breeze! The owner of the shop was also so sweet! I’m soooo happy I chose to check out AE Bridal and I can’t wait to wear the dress of my dreams on my big day!

had me try on such a gorgeous dress that I needed to wear it for my big day.

lmed going into the process of finding a dress and she made it a very fun time. She made me feel confident in every dress that I put on, and never made me feel pressured into trying certain dresses. She stayed within my budget and brought me the most beautiful dresses that matched my vision. I just happen to stumble into the shop one afternoon, and that same day I booked a private fitting for the weekend. It felt like you’re hanging out with your besties, they stay in your budget, and they make you feel so confident. 10/10 recommend. It was the best experience :) The Rouiller’s | June 3, 2023

illion dollars in ever dress I tried on. She hyped me up to try on my dream dress and gave me the confidence to rock it. I’m so grateful she was in my corner ever step of the way. 10/10 recommend shopping in store instead of ordering something online. Thank you guys!!

ght budget. Mikayla worked with me to figure out what I liked about each dress and ended up picking out the one for me! I left feeling confident in my decision and so excited to have gotten that part of the wedding process completed so seamlessly. I loved my experience at Always Elegant! All of the girls were so sweet and down to earth. The shop's atmosphere was so welcoming and beautiful, I can't wait to go back for tuxes and bridesmaids dresses.

find the right dress and that it would be a stressful experience, but it was far from it! Zoë was so amazing from the get go. She called days before my appointment to get a feel for what I wanted and things I liked and really listened. Even my friends said how impressed they were with how well she pulled dresses that were my style--it made choosing just one so hard! Zoë made me feel comfortable and never once rushed me. She really helped make the whole experience so great. AE made saying "Yes" with my family and friends so fun and even sent me home with the cutest gift of champagne and engagement socks. About a week later I came home from vacation, and even found a personalized thank you note to me from Zoë. I can't recommend AE enough, you'll love your experience!

tened to my likes and dislikes and helped me find my dream dress. I can't thank her enough for all the support. I felt like a true princess.

of everything I wanted and we were able to find the dress!

nergy and kind personality is so refreshing. She has been more than helpful in helping me find the wedding dress of my dreams! She listened to exactly what I had envisioned, gave me the opportunity and time to try on all different dress styles, and very importantly....she took into consideration the budget. Mikayla also helped finding the mother of the bride dress for my mom, the groomsmen suits, and even the flower girl accessories(all right here locally at AE Bridal in Chico!) Mikayla has gone out of her way to make the wedding attire easy as possible for not only myself, but also my mom, my groom and his groomsmen for the suits. She has been such a pleasure to work with. All of the girls in the boutique are so kind and will go out of their way to help. I highly recommend AE Bridal for ALL of your bridal attire needs and more! Thank you MIKAYLA and AE Bridal Chico!

ity itself is wonderful and I had such a amazing experience! I cannot recommend this place enough!

ut boy was I wrong! When walking into A & E I was greeted with the biggest smile from my bridal stylist Mikayla, her warmth and genuine personality was what first sold me. Within only a few dresses she found me “The One”. The whole team at A&E was cheering me on and they allowed me to walk around and stay in that dress for as long as I wanted, which was probably far too long but who cares I found my gown! How I felt that day is was has had me finding excuses to pop in, say hello and probably buy more beautiful pieces. Wether it be a second dress, veil, jewelry or shoes, I would keep going back to this wonderful bridal store again and again and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the same experience.

ole life. I wanted my dress to be purchased from Always Elegant in Chico, CA. I would walk by the window before I was even engaged and dream of the day I would walk away with something stunning for my future husband. There is something extra special about AE in Chico... you can go anywhere and without the proper experience you will walk away feeling frustrated and unhopeful as a bride, I am speaking from experience. But from the moment I walked into AE and was greeted by my stylist Mary I knew deep down this was the place. Mary was absolutely amazing! we got to share our excitement in being engaged because she was recently engaged as well, and we got to talking about planning and all the highs and lows. It wasn't just finding a dress that day, I found a friend. I found someone who empowered me in every dress I put on, someone who related to the scary feeling of finding "the dress" and wondering if it was affordable, someone who found my dress and brought me to tears because when I put it on it was the first time I felt like "Jareds wife" I was a bride. Thank you Always Elegant, but specifically thank you Mary. Love, Sabrina

tely knew she was my soul sister! Mikayla helped me find the perfect dress for my day, and I am forever grateful. I just love her! She also helped my Groom and his Groomsmen get their suits. Mikayla was attentive and timely every step of the way.

d Mary in Chico is equally amazing. I recommend just making an appointment at both. I'm glad I didn't have to go to Sac or SF, and I don't feel like I settled for less because I didn't.

and style but listened very closely to every detail. I loved some of the floral hems but was nervous about them catching on things since we're having an outdoor wedding, and she helped me to find a slightly less fragile but just as beautiful option. She also helped me to ensure I stayed within my budget. I am so excited and grateful to have found this shop. So friendly, inviting, knowledgeable, experienced and kind! They also worked very hard to make the appointment personal and intimate even with all of the COVID guidelines and awkwardness. Will be going back for any future needs and recommend 11/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

appointment was as normal as it could be, and was very successful! I was able to find my dream dress as well as my dream veil. I would recommend Always Elegant to any bride in Northern California and beyond!

finding my wedding dress. I was nervous about the whole thing, and she made it so easy and comfortable the entire time I picked my dress, and each interaction afterwards. I highly suggest anyone in the Nor Cal area to come to Always Elegant Bridal, you will be treated like a queen!

beautiful! I had so much fun and I definitely said yes to the dress!!!

kept having rendezvous with her inside the changing room because I trusted and valued her option the most. I ended up finding my dream dress and had all together an amazing experience! I've been wedding dress shopping with friends before and no stylist has ever been as helpful or upbeat as all of the ladies in the shop!

o honor him) this February which means I had to find a dress like yesterday. Having him with us for our special day is the most important thing to us. Ladies, do yourself a favor and make an appointment here. This is the most incredible and caring group of women I have ever met. After having a horrible experience at a different bridal store in Redding - I called Always Elegant in Chico to see if they could possibly get me in that day. I explained to them ahead of time what my situation was and that I understood some dresses would not be an option if they needed to be ordered as they can take months to make. They were super accommodating over the phone and told us to come in that day. My Best Friend and I drove from Redding not really knowing what to expect. When we arrived Brianna and two other lovely ladies greeted us warmly. Brianna had already pulled 6-7 dressed that could be ordered in enough time for our wedding. They took my measurements right away and she helped me into dresses. I am short which means I had to keep in mind that the bottom would have to be altered so lace designs were a little intimidating for me. Brianna eased my worries and explained how each dress would be altered which I know seems like no big deal, but this is HUGE ! After she helped me into a few dresses I walked around the store to look at a few different styles. One in particular caught my eye as it looked different from anything I had seen before. She checked their database before I tried it on to make sure they could get it in time and it was a go! I tried it on and was shocked at how I looked. This was an incredible dress. It looked perfect on my body! She opened the curtain and my best friend looked at me in awe and cried! One of the other ladies in the store even teared up! I was so nervous and emotional - this was that moment I was suppose to have. Even with all the sadness in my families heart and my heart with my dads battle with cancer, these ladies helped me have "my dress moment". It was indescribable and I honestly didn't know I could have that bride moment - but they made it happen! Not only that but they could order the dress in my size and have it there in less than 10 days! I already made an appointment with a wonderful tailor that they personally recommended. She met me in their store to go over the alterations and set up my 1st fitting appointment on the 11th. The owner reached out to me to personally congratulate me and I even received a touching thank you card from Brianna today. These ladies go above and beyond. I cannot express my gratitude enough to them all. They have completely taken a very stressful and emotional situation and turned it into a dreamy and exciting experience. Thank you all for your hard work and commitment to helping find MY dress!

sweetest, she had read my profile and picked out all the dresses I had saved to my Pinterest that they had in their shop. And then she chose one that was not in my list, and guess what? IT WAS THE ONE! Mikayla was so encouraging and fun! She had great advice and so much expertise. My friends and I had a great time with her. I loved the variety of dresses this store has and the great service they offer!

zed it was something I needed to do (actually my little sister had enough of my drama and made the appt. haha). Going into AEB in Chico was honestly 100% amazing. I was so comfortable it's got me trying to consider how to buy another dress lol. I worked with Bri and she was as sweet as can be and after talking with her about my ideas and desires she brought me beautiful dress after beautiful dress (putting up with not only me and my opinions but my sister, mom, and granny and their opinions). By the end of the appointment I was 99% sure on the one I wanted but told myself it shouldn't be that easy. So I said I was going to sleep on it and make another appointment in a few weeks. Fast forward a few weeks later and sure enough that was the dress for me. The girls in that shop are all so kind and friendly. Every time someone gets engaged I always name drop AEB.

sible. My stylists Zoe and Hannah picked out my dream dress on the first try and it was the one. they cried with me and really made me feel as if I was surrounded by family. I wish I could get two dresses just to have the experience all over with them again. I am so thankful I get to come back and get tuxes and bridesmaids dresses just to see them all again. Even if you have to drive a long way it is totally worth it!

who is no longer working there, but she was incredible! She was so patient, understanding, and looked out for me when my friends and family at my appointment had their own agenda and ideas for my dress *eye roll.* On subsequent visits when Hannah wasn’t there, I had the pleasure of working with all of the other gals in the shop. From accessories, to groomsman suits, payments, deadlines, alterations, etc., every person at AE was so helpful, professional, and sweet. I’m even doing my dress cleaning/preservation through AE because I’m just not ready to say goodbye to them. Thank you gals for all you do, and for carrying the Wilderly collection! It’s what dreams are made of <3

was an enjoyable environment. The entire experience was so incredibly stress free and fun, my family and I both adored Zoe, my stylist. I highly suggest the boutique in itself, but Zoe with the Chico location was a dream. She heard my families suggestions but focused on me and what I wanted, and in the end pulling dresses she knew I’d love and eventually helping me decide on “the one”. The entire experience was more than I could have ever asked for and I am so happy to stay local and am looking forward to working with them for my alterations over the next year!

elt overwhelmed, they made it easy for me to relax and try on the top dresses I liked with no pressure. The experience was everything I imagined, thank you AE team for helping find my dream dress!

ill work with me. They placed me with the perfect stylist, Hannah, and she was so excited to know that we had the same interest in crosshatching dresses which made it even more fun for me! I knew which dress I wanted before going in but she definitely still picked out some excellent runner ups! Thank you to all of the ladies at Always Elegant Bridal, you were all so sweet and made it such a memorable experience. 💕

mmend! Having the shop to ourselves was so special. (The champagne and hors d'oeuvres were wonderful too) Both Zoe and Brianna were so sweet and made my appointment everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more. I said yes to the most beautiful dress and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for such a huge part of my wedding day. Thank you AE Bridal for such a special day that I will never forget! 💍🍾❤️

s I always invisioned, but she end up finding a dress for me that I never thought I would end up getting. It’s beyond gorgeous & I can’t wait to wear it on the big day! Thank you :)

and patient. Very sweet atmosphere, reasonable prices, and zero added stress.

moved from England so I didn’t have family or friends to help me. But Bree, Madison & Brianna each helped me (on three separate visits!) with their expertise, enthusiasm and plenty of patience, guiding me to the dress of my dreams. I’m also grateful they gave me that feeling of shopping with friends, since mine weren’t there with me. And they really worked a miracle in a short space of time. I thought I could find my dress on my own, online, without the help of professionals... But I was so wrong, and the AE Bridal team graciously saved the day and took away all the stress!

th the dress of my dreams and so happy I did so with AE.
