Always Elegant Bridal And Tuxedo

to go to AE Bridal.

like a princess. My wedding was scheduled for April 18, 2020 (right in the middle of all the corona craziness), so the shop was closed when I was supposed to pick up my dress BUT they made it happen!! Thank you thank you thank you!

artin Thornburg gown and made the purchase like 30 min later. Gabby also put this super cute jewel band across my head which really tied the entire look together. I ended up purchasing that too. The AE Bridal ladies are very personable and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect dress!

that was in my budget. I appreciated the 'small shop' feel. This will be the only stop you need if you're looking for a dress.

ed myself in. You could tell right as I put the dress on that it was, “ THE ONE.” Gabby was so helpful in reassuring me that my dress had nothing to do with my venue and that I should not settle for less based off my venue. I ended up saying, “yes to the dress” with the help of gabby!

was trying to please everyone else and putting me secondary. I felt defeated at several points & at several different shops/boutiques. Gabby never gave up and searched for a dress that had everything I dreamed of. Between the owner Bree and my wonderful stylist Gabby my defeat turned to back into pure excitement. They thought outside the box, never gave up, never felt pressured and still continue to help me for my special day. 5 stars is not enough! ♥️

a City Native” I thought there would be no way I would find my dress in the small town I grew up in. I was on the hunt for not only the dress I was dreaming about but I also so wanted to have that “tv moment experience” So, I made appointments everywhere in Sacramento. I wanted to try everything I possibly could. My first time trying on was in downtown Sacramento. I heard such incredible things about this place but my experience was extremely underwhelming. I felt pressured and rushed during my appointment. I felt like the girl helping me sensed I wasn’t feeling it and told me my time was up and needed to pick. I went from “who will I marry to....will I ever find a dress?” I was at dinner with my fiancé and I was explaining how I felt defeated and I was dreading going again. A gal next to me overheard our conversation and asked me if I visited A&E Bridal. I chuckled at her and my response was “if I couldn’t find it in Sacramento I sure wouldn’t find it there!” She explained she purchased her dress, tuxedos, bridesmaids and flower girls there! If my jaw would have dropped any lower I think it would have broken! I called A&E to schedule. Gabby answered the phone and I could just feel her smile and warmth through the other end. My mindset changed I was excited again! While chatting she asked if it would be my first time trying on dresses and I explained I went to other places but was lost. She started to prepare me for how our appointment would go. That really stuck out to me because I didn’t get that from those other places, I felt like she really cared. Fast forward to my appointment! We walked in and to my surprise, Gabby, the sweet girl on the phone, was also the one helping me today! She remembered my phone call and gave me a big hug. We went to my area and before we started trying on dresses she said, “the feeling of finding your dress is like the feeling of falling in love, let your heart guide you, not your mind.” That gave me the biggest butterflies but I needed to get out of my head and let my heart take control. She told me she wanted to show me my vision first and then she would sneak in some “wildcards”. when my wildcard came in I wanted to cry looking at it.. I thought to myself “this is it..it’s about to happen” It was nothing I thought I would ever try on. She turned me around to the mirror and I was speechless. Gabby’s face exploded with excitement and said we need to show mom! My mom instantly started crying and I started crying. Gabby asked me if this was the dress I wanted to say “I do in”. I of course said YES! I then felt relieved. I felt amazing. I didn’t feel pressure and I was excited all over again. Being with Gabby felt so calming, she was patient, knowledgeable, and so friendly. I know this is long winded, but I just wanted to say many things stuck out to me about my time at A&E and I wanted to say thank you. No other store “went the extra mile.” she sent me a thank you text and even sent me a card in the mail. What I thought I was going to have for my “tv moment” exceeded every single one of my expectations and I will remember Gabby at A&E for a lifetime! ALSO, Gabby!!! I hope to see you on “Say Yes To The Dress” one day! You are amazing!

and reassuring, I was on the fence about saying yes and the owner actually came out and showed me the dress style on someone else and it sealed the deal. I know the dress will look fantastic on my wedding day. I highly recommend Always Elegant!!

ress on the first try! The shop was also super cute and has a variety of dresses, I highly recommended for those who want to shop local.

res and champagne while we shopped. Gabby, the Yuba City store manager is such a pro, and really makes you feel special. She takes the time to listen to your style, while juggling the preferences of your guests. You try on dresses that make everyone feel included, but she makes sure YOU end up with the dress of your dreams!

t I wanted/needed by just having a conversation and making it not stressful. Always elegant bridal has wonderful staff and amazing dresses. I highly recommend ♥️♥️

her personality shines! Anyone who walks through the door at A&E Bridal will have an enjoyable, fun and special time. The shop was very nice with plenty of options but not too many! Prices are great as well!! Brides-to-be should make this a MUST to say yes to to that dress!

e of immediately. I walked away the first day with my dress and it fit me perfectly. I would recommend them to anyone.

liked and disliked. Two weeks before my wedding, we had a little mishap where my veil tore completely in half...while trying not to freak out, I called AE on a Sunday and they had me come in that day. They immediately replaced it for me, no questions asked. They are truly the best! I couldn't have imagined a better experience!

personable staff. Would definitely recommend. (They even hook you up with seamstresses!)

oyees there were also amazing! Gabby was very bubbly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She was great about offering advise but was not pushy or did not pressured us into buying something we didn’t want. Every time we went in for alterations of talk about our tuxes, we were welcomed into the store like friends or family. They provided excellent customer service every stop of the way, had such a wonderful variety of dresses, accessories and bridesmaid dresses and provided an amazing experience with the whole process. Thank you AE for being so great!

wouldn’t do it on my own. I was overwhelmed by the number of dresses and so many different styles. I didn’t know what I wanted but I knew what I didn’t want. The stylist was so nice and picked out dresses that fit my description. I didn’t leave with my dress that day but told them I was be back. I returned the very next weekend and was paired up with another stylist who I explained again the type of dress I didn’t want. She was really good about picking the style I thought I wanted but was able to sneak in a few dresses that she thought would complaint my figure. Every dress I tried on that she picked out I loved a little more each time. I kept asking her how do girls know “it’s the one” she replied “when you know, you just know.” I left the store again without a dress but feeling so confident in the process. I was no longer stressed about buying a dress because we had so much fun. The next weekend I went to another boutique and tried keep an open mind since it was different than A/E. but the entire time I just kept thinking about one dress I tried on at Always Elegant. I didn’t realize how much I loved that dress until I tried more on. I returned to Always Elegant, for the third time, and Gabby pulled out my top 3 dresses. I tried them on again, when I put on the last dress , I didn’t know how to make my decision. Gabby suggested I take a minute to myself in the fitting room with my dress on, I stood in front of the mirror and could not hold back my tears. This was it, I found my dress that was made for me. It was the dress that Gabby picked out, that was everything I thought I didn’t want. I was so happy, I finally felt like a bride. I bought my dress that day! There was so pressure, I never felt rushed even though this was my third time. Gabby is the sweetest, since I ordered my dress she has kept me updated with shipping dates and even sent me the sweetest card in the mail. I returned to the store for the fourth time, this time with my Aunt who lived out of state and the girls were just as nice as the first time. I tried on my dress again, and just love it. I ordered my veil that day and told them I would back again soon. As many times as I walked through the door the staff was always so friendly, professional. I am so happy with my experience at Always Elegant, Gabby is my go to girl! My 12 year old daughter already said she’s getting her prom dress there and hopes Gabby is still there. This is a long review and I’ve left so many details out but I can’t express how thankful I am to have walked through their doors.

t dressing rooms to the wide collection of dresses I felt like a celebrity through the whole appointment. My stylist was attentive, friendly, and took my “Pinterest Board” and RAN with it! She knocked it out of the park with every dress she brought me outdoing the last. I went in expecting to go to at least a few more bridal stores and walked out with the wedding dress of my Pinterest dreams!

ause the dresses were too small, or I wasn’t prepared for the disappointment of not finding “the one” at a store I had been stalking online for months. A week later, I decided to go to AE Bridal in Yuba City, where I live. I made an appointment and went in with not many expectations. I was by myself and right away Jessica made me feel so comfortable. She sat me down and asked about my fiancé, what I was looking for in a dress, how I wanted to feel, budget and gushed over my engagement ring. Immediately, I was in a better headspace. The other great thing was that I was trying on dresses in my size or too big, so I felt much more confident and could really see how they would fit. We tried on about 5 dresses, but I knew #3 was the one. We video chatted my mom and Jessica and I made a video of me finding the one! A beautiful strapless, ivory, lace A-line Stella York gown. Jessica was so charismatic and helped boost my confidence. Ordering the dress and making payments was so easy with AE Bridal and I would recommend the store to any bride looking for her dream dress. I got married last weekend and I got SOOOO many compliments on my dress. Everyone loved it! I can’t wait to see all of the photos.

ble!

and sweet and helpful every step of the way! I had my wedding dress altered through AE as well and she did an incredible job. I was so impressed with AE and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! Even though I ended up not getting my bridesmaids dresses there, they had a ton of styles and colors to choose from!

that one dress until last! I just lit up the second I put it on! The girls are so helpful and make you feel so comfortable! If you need any alterations at all, make sure you use Brandy Handwork! She is the absolute best!!

simply wonderful. The showroom was stunning and there were hundreds of dresses to choose from at a very reasonable price point. This day will forever be etched in my mind as a such a special and beautiful time. Thanks to AE, myself and my 12 family memebers were able to share such a special time and find the dress!

ou to the team for making me feel at home , and for always maintaining such a professional but fun atmosphere. A huge thank you to Brandy for her expertise when it came to alterations she made the dress of my dreams even better ! Bree and her team are fantastic . If you are a bride in need of an incredible dress look no further , Always Elegant will take care of your every need!

that vibration the moment you walk in the store. I told them what I envisioned on my wedding day, and they listened and executed with something better than I had expected. Brandy the seamstress is the sweetest soul, with years of experience. She has so much talent. Brandy made sure my dress fit me perfectly. I called her my fairy god mother. I felt like a princess every time I stepped inside my dress during a fitting. I received so much compliments on my wedding, not only on the dress but on the fit. I got asked if I had it made just for me. These ladies truly know what they’re doing . Unlike other stores that are just focusing on a sale and trying to get you out the door, they build a relationship with you. They are truly there for their future brides. Thank you AE Bridal, for a one of a kind experience.

re thankful to Always Elegant Bridal for such an amazing experience! The shop owner & staff were lovely! I cant recommend them enough!

y consultant when I visited the Chico store) and understood my desire for a unique look. I had a wonderful experience here an can't wait to come back and see my dress when it comes in.

ast 8 bridal stores in Sac and LA before Always Elegant and I will say that their customer service was a million times better than any other place I went. These girls actually love their jobs and care about helping you vs. other bridal stores trying to hard sell you and rush you out the door. Didn't expect to find my dress in Yuba City, but it's definitely worth the drive for the experience you get. Brides in Sac - forget all of the other places in town and take the drive out to Yuba City and go to Always Elegant!

find a dress that made me feel amazing. Thank you for helping me find the absolutely most perfect dress for my wedding. My Allure dress was wonderful for my romantic beach sunset wedding in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. I worked with an associate named Gabby and the kindness and help you shared with me made my wedding day extra special. Thanks so much for you all do at AE. I know I made the best decision ever by choosing a dress from AE Bridal. I cannot say enough great things about this bridal shop to people. I would recommend this location or their chico store to any future bride.

ress shopping was so intimidating, I’m not your average size girl by any means and I thought I would have to spend thousands of dollars to find what I wanted, travel far, and feel shameful of my body because nothing was going to fit me...SO I THOUGHT! Dress shopping for me was the exact opposite! From the moment I was greeted by my girl Gabby, I knew there was an instant connection and she truly wanted me to find what I was looking for. It felt like we were best friends, the conversation was so easy and didn’t seem forced. For that I am so thankful... it didn’t seem like it was “just a job” for her but something much more. Gabby asked for my vision and totally ran with my idea and went for it! She picked me out the most beautiful dress. I. WAS. STUNNED. Not only did it fit perfect but it exceeded my expectations! I said YES to my dress in Yuba City! I whole heartedly encourage every bride to come to this shop and I fully believe you don’t have to travel so Sacramento to find your dream wedding gown, Gabby, at Always Elegant Bridal will find it for you!

o be apart of the Always Elegant family.

cts AE has it all. Thanks for helping me find the "yes dress"

e entire time and had the best time trying on the different dresses. Gabby was excellent and helped me trust my gut to find the right dress and I did. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a laid back, positive, and super personalized experience. My whole family loved the day and Gabby was amazing. Thanks so much!!

and guiding the bride. The stylist listened to my sister in law explain what she wanted and immediately went to work at finding the perfect dress for her. They provide such a wonderful experience for the bride and loved ones. I highly recommend this store and their team to anyone looking for the perfect dress!

s there- Bree, you and your staff are amazing. My wedding day was perfect and I couldn’t have found the right dress without your help.

t and flare style in my head, but when I freaked out if it was "the one" they were cool as cucumbers to talk me through it! They were committed to me through this entire process and followed up so promptly when my orders arrived. They are one of a kind and completely worth the drive from the Sacramento Suburba!!!! Love you ladies !!!

loved working with Always Elegant. Highly recommend this great bridal shop!

ere!

ack with all of my Bridesmaid’s for their fittings!

ly personable. The dress I ended up getting fit me perfectly and I felt beautiful in it. Great experience and an amazing staff.

e beautiful dresses without having to break the bank. Love it here ❤

kind. She always has a smile on her face and the most positive attitude. She made sure I was comfortable and happy with all of my bridal decisions. She was also very helpful in recommending a seamstress to alter my dress. Brandy is the seamstress that made the alterations to my dress. She is so sweet and really took her time each appointment to make sure everything was perfect. This team at the Yuba City, Ca location is absolutely incredible! I would and will continue to recommend anyone to go see the ladies at Always Elegant!

for job. She came across very knowledgeable and helped answer any and every question we had. We have rented tuxedos before but this one by far takes the cake. The fit was was perfect and he looked so handsome! I can't stop staring at the photos! I will DEFINITELY come back for any future needs and will recommend Gabby and AE Bridal endlessly. Thank you all so much!! Much love, Kaitlyn

. Of course, as a picky and indecisive bride I had no idea what I wanted. Gabby and Bree were so positive and supportive with each dress I tried on, and truly made me feel so special. I not only had an incredible experience, but have made friendships along the way that will last a lifetime. I would and have already recommended A&E Bridal to many of my newly engaged friends...some which have already bought their dresses there too. Thank you again for making my search for my wedding dress so incredible, I can't thank you all enough.

genuine she is. AE Yuba City is a place I will recommend to EVERYONE.

it happened to be the dress they just got the day before. I was the first to try it on and that was it...that was my dress. It rarely happens that the dress you have a picture of is the dress for you. Overall, great experience, friendly staff, I would recommend this place to all of my girl friends!!

ed out and it ended up being the one but it seemed as if after the first one the consultant didn't even want to try. My appointment was not fun and it felt extremely rushed like the consultant did not want to be there. I ended up finding the exact dress somewhere else and bought it there.

g a purchase. The stylists treated me as if they were my close friend shopping for my gown with me. There can be a lot of stressful moments when planning a wedding, but Bree and her team made my experience seamless. I felt as if I was in a high end boutique in a big city, their service and presentation in all areas is that incredible! I have gone gown shopping with multiple friends at Always Elegant and my experiences continue to impress me. My gown was exactly what I was searching for and I could not have done it without this incredible shop! Brides living near Chico, CA are in for a treat because they just opened up a location in downtown Chico!

n (insert gleeful adjective), when I walked into Always Elegant Bridal and learned that they had sizes in stock for me to try on, is nothing short of utter, glorious, amazement! Not only was the finding and purchase of my dress a dream (I met my budget without sacrifice), they also hooked me up with THE BEST seamstress in town. She was an absolute wizard at shaping the corset on my dress to work with my short-waist and extra curvy silhouette. I love my dress so much that I'm gonna wear it every year on my Anniversary :) Thank you ladies, so much!

y knowledgeable about the dresses.

I am so thankful for all of her hard work. I would highly recommend Always Elegant Bridal and Tuxedo to anyone who needs wedding apparel and/or accessories.

ruly there to help me find my perfect dress(which I did!!)! I loved my experience at Always Elegant, and I will definitely be recommending it to everyone I know getting married!!

f what I wanted, the most perfect dress was pulled and the search was over. I'm so thankful they provided such a comfortable environment for me and my group to come search for a dress. We ended up staying for over two hours and no one ever made us feel like we had to leave. Very impressed!!

t direction without being pushy. She even helped my mom try on a MOB dress! I cannot stress enough how much I loved the whole experience. It was completely stress-free. Bree made me feel comfortable to leave there with or without a dress. She even let me sit in my dressing room by myself and think about my options. It was wonderful. The owner came by and was willing to work with me on my price, and even remembered my sister from when she bought her dress there 5 years ago! We loved the whole experience and will most likely be back for our bridesmaid dresses and the tuxes for my dad and brother. Thanks, Always Elegant Bridal!

cision. Every member of the staff was also very accommodating and friendly. They have a variety of dresses to choose from. Brandy did my alterations at the store as well. She was amazing and made my dress fit perfect. I would highly recommend this bridal store when looking for your wedding dress.

e to take home off the rake or were from a designer that would be willing to do a rush order. I ended up with an amazing dress off the rack that I couldn't have been more happy with but then I got a call from Bree the next day telling me that she was able to find a BRAND NEW version of my dress that would be shipped to the salon within a month. To say my experience with A/E Bridal was exceptional in an understatement! I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!!!

I was lucky that this was the first place I came to for my wedding dress search and I said "Yes to the Dress" within a couple hours! Bree's patience, and kindness was so much appreciated when I was on my search. Definitely recommend this place to any bride to be looking for the dress of their dreams!

. Always Elegant was just a nicer setup, and Kelli was SO helpful!! I was very particular about different styles I liked, and she was the first person that legitimately listened and brought out dresses based on my feedback from the dresses we were trying. Found the perfect dress! And off the rack too, so it was under budget! I'm so glad I found this place and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lot of options (and a lot of budgets.)

to take a deep breath, and then proceeded to patiently help me find MY dress!! I felt truly spoiled by all of Bree's ladies - every time I walked through the door I was greeted with enthusiasm, professionalism, and love. My dress arrived on time, the seamstress she recommended was perfect, my groom and his groomsmen's tuxedos were classy and Bree herself is an absolute DELIGHT. My mom spent several afternoons in the store worrying about what she was going to wear, and Bree took MANY hours out of her week to help my mom find the perfect outfit. And it wasn't even something that was in her store. She called my husband when he was having a moment about what HE was going to wear and was able to make him feel as excited and confident about his suit as I was about my dress. I've gone in to visit several times since my wedding - and even though I'm not buying anymore dresses, I'm still greeted with the same enthusiasm and love as when I was a "customer". Those ladies truly make you a part of the FAMILY. Don't bother going anywhere else. Always Elegant is THE place to go.

find the PERFECT dress! I left feeling pampered and appreciated, like I was a personal friend, not just a customer. If you're looking for the best selection of amazing dresses *and* the most attentive and personalized service, Always Elegant is the perfect bridal shop!

n!! Happi brought it in anyways and I loved it and bought it. She came in way under budget for me!!! Everything was great beautiful dresses great staff!!

When I walked in I had no idea what to expect, but I was excited to try on dresses! I was greeted by Bree and she sat down with me to have a conversation. The first question she asked me was, "do you have a Pinteresr Board?". Brilliant, yes I do. So she scrolled through that and made note of patterns of things I'd pinned and asked some very intuitive questions about the wedding - the date, taking into account the time of year, the style, the colors, etc. Then she asked me to look around for anything I might want to try on while she made some selections for me from throughout the boutique. Within 10 minutes we had a pretty decent lineup of dresses to try on. She asked me, if I could eliminate 1 dress without trying it on, which would it be? So I picked one, and decided since my mom and bridesmaids hadn't arrived yet I would try it on - just in case. To my utter surprise, it fit perfectly, felt good, and looked amazing. My mom and bridesmaids showed up when I had it on and they loved it to. Three hours and many dresses later, that was the dress I ordered. The one I wasn't even going to try on! And as an added bonus, it was just over HALF of what my budget was. I went in there thinking $1,000, and if I went over a bit it was okay. The dress was $580 and came to about $780 with the dress, the dress bag, and a beautiful belt that made the dress look even better. I highly recommend Always Elegant to any bride who appreciates one-on-one customer service, and an unrivaled level of expertise.

pi helped me and she was very professional and gave me some good advice to consider while choosing just the dress that would work for me. I found the perfect dress , and it was within the price range I had set out spend. I highly recommend this store. Better that David's Bridal shop, in my opinion. kbw

ign on the rack, but Bree worked with me and I was able to have my dress. I would come visit my dress and Kai was amazing every time. I'm very happy with my experience at Always Elegant Bridal and would definitely recommend them. It's refreshing to have a high quality store with great customer service in this small community.
