Elegant Lace Bridal & Tuxedo

thing for my taste. Then we went to Elegant Lace. We had an appointment and the lady by the name of Maria helped us right a way. I didn't have a bad experience like I heard about from other people. It was a great, great experience. There I found the dress that was made just for me. Maria was so help and patient. Highly recommended this place!!

l gown and a price the associate respected all of this and I found a perfect dress and it was in the budget. Furthermor, I was moving across the country, the Rhode Island and they shipped my dress for ~$40-50!!!! My dress came in perfect shape, no problems whatsoever.

hey gave me & my group (MIL and MOB) colored rings we could put on the dresses I wanted to try and then they would pull them aside for me to try on. My MIL actually ended up pulling the dress I fell in love with (I fell in love with the dress and the price tag!) and I was offered the option to pay in full or half now and half at pickup. The only thing I would keep in mind, for other brides, is this store does not do any alterations so you need to get fittings done elsewhere.

from Elegant Lace. I finally called, after it'd been ~3 months since my gown was ordered and I was looking at about 2.5 months for the alterations to be done and I was kinda curious when that dress would be coming in. The first lasy I spoke to said it wouldn't be SHIPPING from Australia until mid-February. My wedding was March 14. I kinda freaked out. And then she told me to call on Monday to confirm. And reassured me that I'd be able to pay some seamstress extra to get any alterations rushed. SERIOUSLY??? WTF?? Are they making it BY HAND? And if they are, why do I need it altered? Can't they just make it custom to fit?? So I called Monday and they told me they were busy and they'd call me back. So then I called again on Tuesday evening because no one called me back on Monday and the woman I spoke to this time couldn't find my order. So she put me on hold for 30-45mins and looked for it. Then she told me she'd call me back. At this point, I was starting to go a little bridezilla, because I'd already paid for the damn dress and now it wasn't even ordered? No record existed? How?? So I made her promise to call no matter what and, to her credit, she did call me back. And, magically, miraculously, wonderfully, my dress just HAPPENED to have come in that morning (I smell BS) and I could pick it up that weekend. Unfortunately, when I went to pick it up, I was put "on hold" at the front counter while three sales ladies (I think one was the owner/manager) discussed dress sizing with another bride (whether or not she should try to lose 5lbs or just get her dress let out). F'realz? I get it, but maybe ONE of you can just give me my dress? Finally, another sales lady came over and fussed over me and apologized for having kept me waiting, while the manager just kinda waved her hand dismissively and said, "oh sure, you can help her." So, three cheers for Vanya and presales, but massssssive fail on the follow-through.

f dresses she thought I would love. And she was right - I ended up picking a dress I love and can't wait to go back again get! I would highly recommend Elegant Lace to any bride. I will be taking my girls back to get their dresses here too!

discount after we supported their food drive during the holiday season. A small business with heart. The staff was easy to work with. The only thing that was a hassle was they closed down their alterations department a while ago and I had to go to an independent vendor they recommended. It would have been easier to keep it all in house but a good store none the less.

so happy I went to Elegant Lace, they had almost 200 dress and so many different kinds! My friend told me that she knew a couple of girls that couldn't find dresses anywhere and they went to Elegant Lace any they found their dress. I also went on a day they were having a trunk sale for the brand I wanted, I received 10% off my dress and $100 credit towards accessories. Go with Elegant Lace you will be happy you did!

ce my wedding was three months away), as well as providing me with bra cups and a list of local seamstresses. As close as my wedding date was, they were still great about allowing me to pay in installments. My dress arrived ahead of schedule and it perfect condition. Even though my wedding is now over, I still dream about wearing that dress and what a princess I felt like. Know that you are in great hands here!

was great (I wish I could remember her name), and we had a lot of fun shopping. The thing that impressed me the most about Elegant Lace versus many of the other shops I've seen is the large selection. They have a LOT of dresses, as well as a range of different designers, and, most importantly, a range in sizes. Since I am a bridal size 16, I'd had trouble finding dresses to try on in some of the smaller boutiques, but I was able to pick out about a dozen dresses that I liked that I was actually able to try on! After purchasing my dress, we were told that we would get a special deal for ordering our bridesmaid dresses there as well (this seems to be the norm at bridal stores), and we ended up getting the bridesmaid dresses from them too. They weren't as attentive on the bridesmaid side, but were available and knowledgeable when questions arose. I asked for a swatch of the color, and they were able to give me a small sample in the exact color and fabric (which was great), and were even able to assemble a small swatch that matched the color of my dress (which was so useful when shoe-shopping!).

ally) trying on as many dresses as I wanted but didn't find the one. The dress I had intended to try on was two years old and she tried to get it for me to try on when they came for a trunk show. I went back and found an even more perfect gown at the trunk show and even got it for very close to budget. Maria was wonderful but I found others there to be unfriendly and short. They don't do alterations but they do send you to great professionals who are easy to work with. They were by far the easiest to work with and I recommend that all of my friends go here to get their dresses.

ppointment for the first day of a trunk show. I went on a Friday morning and the store was mostly empty. The consultant was a good listener and let me set the pace. I just looked at one design collection, picked out a few, and found the one in under an hour! And I came in about 30% below my budget even with the veil and a blindly belt added. I really appreciated their relaxed approach and good humor with me. Great store, terrific value (for a wedding dress!) and turned my sour face into a smile!

ss there. Each time we had the best experience.

was of the essence. I went back for a second time and knew that dress was the one. I decided to go with Elegant lace after the same dress at Trudy’s was almost $300 more plus they would require me to pay an additional $200 in a rush fee (without a guarantee if it would get here in time). (Although it was the complete opposite for my veil way cheaper and faster at Trudy's than Elegant Lace). They did change the date on me 3 times on when my dress would arrive so that made me worry as it was just a few weeks before my wedding but it got here on the first date that they had told me and that was a big weight off my shoulders. The sales consultant at Elegant Lace was Synthia and she was amazing!

k for $400 as it was no longer being sold by Alfred Sung), they are quick, and they do not rush your experience. Elegant Lace has a huge selection of designer dresses and other formal attire. Everyone who helped me was so kind and honest. Maria is the sweetest woman there. I love her and I refer everyone I know to her! You won't regret your experience there. :) Make sure you call in advance to book an appointment to try on gowns and don't forget to bring your BM/MOHs and MOB/MIL!

ent in. It helped to book an appointment for Monday morning instead of the weekend, since the salespeople were much more relaxed and welcoming. After I had purchased my dress, the sales woman threw in a voucher to be used toward any accessories in the store, which was a very nice touch.

recommend this place to anyone looking for their dream dress!

ng with them; was they weren't always super helpful on the phone; but everything came out as it was supposed to and in a timely manner. The price I'm including is just for my dress.

d on. My dress came in about 8 weeks after I ordered it. My bridesmaids also purchased their dresses from Elegant Lace. They were able to try on many styles until we found the dress they all liked. The dresses came in with plenty of time for alterations.

ter's wedding dress here and recommended that I go try this store. I found the PERFECT dress. It was exactly the sort of dress I was looking for and couldn't find elsewhere, a lovely champagne beige silk with a sheer jacket. It's BEAUTIFUL and I got so many compliments on it, plus it was very reasonably priced. I am so pleased that my sister recommended this shop and I highly recommend them, too.

HE ONE. The dress look fabulous at the wedding day and I got tons of compliment. We also use them for tux rental. They fixed all the problems and delivered everything they promised on time. Love them.

-- to get a bridesmaid dress), but I think Elegant is even better than that Campbell store. Why? Because they had enough variety and styles to compete with "bigger" stores. But, their personalized service was what got to me and my Mom. I didn't really want a wedding gown - I wanted to get a simple white dress, but my Mom insisted. And now, I'm glad she did. Our consultant (whose name escapes me now since it's been so long ago, but I think it was Maria) listened carefully to what my Mom and I wanted, but better yet, she saw Mom's reaction with each dress I tried on. And the final dress I tried on was the consultant's choice -- not mine or my Mom's. And her choice was spot on. The dress had everything my Mom wanted. But, it also had everything I wanted too. So to achieve that right medium and hit a home run was a major accomplishment. When our wedding date got moved (we didn't even have a date when we went shopping for my dress back in January 2012), Elegant was so accommodating and flexible. They answered all of my questions promptly, and anyone I spoke to at that shop was very professional and understanding. Thank you, Elegant, for making me look so good on my wedding day!

ength. I would definitely recommend looking for Paisley to help you at Elegant Lace!

would of never thought to try on. But it turned out to be amazing and the dress for me!

tinued. I was very grateful they let me buy the belt I felt made the dress. They discounted the price since it was their sample. Luckily it was in perfect condition!

found a dress!! A very simple process when dealing with a sales person who knows what she is doing. I also got my veil and head piece from this shop.

had a great experience while finding and finally saying "yes to the dress" like she wanted to do just as seen on tv.

de to shop for her dress here!

eally appreciated is that she made sure that I tried on every different cut, fabric, and style of dress. That allowed me to easily cross off what didn't work for my body/height (I'm 5'0"). I think this is where most girls go wrong, trying on tons of dresses and not liking them, but never getting the help to understand why. She is also such a good judge of how dresses look on people that she had me try on first the one she thought was most promising from my stack (my sister/MOH picked it out). It's the one I ended up buying!! But it was amazing that she made sure that I still tried on at least 15 other styles so I'll never question that my dress was the perfect one for me. I can not vouch for the other employees at Elegant Lace, but make sure you make your appointment with Yvonia!! Also, at least last year they did a canned food drive during the fall months, so I brought in 20 cans I think and got 10-15% off of Everything that I bought there, corset and veil included :]

sses in all price ranges, from very cheap to very expensive, and everything in between. Maria was my consultant and, unlike in some other stores, she wasn't running around after 5 different brides, she stayed with me and helped me during the whole appointment each time I went in (I went in 3 times). She even took pictures with my camera so that I could look back at pictures of the dresses to help me make my final decision, and that was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Elegant Lace to other brides.

It is really dependent upon who works with you, but they have a pretty good dress selection process.

ner and she instructed me and my small entourage of how to pick out which dresses I wanted to try on. The sales lady who helped me was fantastic! Everything that you would think your dress shopping experience would be happened because of her. I only wish I remembered her name :(. She was extremely helpful, very patient, and enthusiastic. I came out with a dress that I and everyone else absolutely loved! Besides this, they were extremely kind when I picked up my dress and they even steamed my dress for free!

he consultant comes and pulls those dresses and puts them on you. It wasn't the greatest experience because there was nothing special about the consultants or the store. Even though you show up on time to your appointment, they make you wait at least 10-15 minutes before getting started. I had about 3 more visits post 'yes to the dress' and all those appointments started late as well. I was mostly frustrated with the whole shipping ordeal. I purchased the dress in 11/2011 for my 08/12 wedding. They told me the dress should be ready in 4-6 months and they would call when it came in. I didn't hear from them at all so I decided to call end of May which is clearly 6 months. They said the dress wasn't there yet and they're not sure when it'll come in so to call back mid-late June. I was a little disgruntled because not only would it push back my alterations but what if they accidently ordered the wrong dress? I would be screwed if that were the case which is why I took that into consideration and bought it in advance. If it comes in late June, I have less than a month to find another dress before alterations. Thankfully, the correct dress came in and alterations were done in time for my wedding but they weren't very organized with the whole thing nor caring. The only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is for my consultant. She was awesome and caring like a mother. She took care of me and was patient with me through the whole process!

her wedding dress and the lady who was helping her was too pushy and wanted her to buy right away. So I give them 3 starts!

great at taking my size and ordering it. I thought they said they do their alterations in-house but they do not. This was not a problem because they give you good recommendations. I was a little nervous because I ordered just under 12 weeks before the wedding but the dress came in early and I was very happy with it.

t back. He ended up not wearing it and it was a waste of money.

hen ordering bridesmaid dresses from here! We decided to get my girls their dresses here because they got a discount since I ordered my dress through them. THEY COMPLETELY SIZED MY GIRLS WRONG! The owner was the one counseling them when they went to the counter to order. One of my bridesmaids was pregnant and insisted on getting a bigger size, but the owner talked her into getting a smaller one. When it was time for alterations, low and behold it didn't fit! She had to swap dresses with another bridesmaid who was also sized wrong. It was a mess and added so much stress just weeks before the wedding. The other bridesmaids dresses were way too big and they had to spend a lot of money on alterations to get them sized down. So much for the money we thought we were saving by going through them. UGH!

n make payments too which is really good. They have a great selection of sample plus size wedding gowns which was great for me.

For the price of the dress and the way it looked on me...amazing!

e dress finally came in, the designer had made a mistake when cutting the dress and it was aweful! I was very stressed out about it but they talked to the designer, sent it back, and made sure it would be back in more than enough time... and it was. At another time, I came in freaking out because I realized I had ordered the wrong color bridesmaids dresses. Again they called the designer and saved my butt! When the dresses came in they were perfect. Not only did they fix problems successfully, but they helped calm me down and ease my stress.

PERFECT gown. It was basically everything I wanted (plus it fit like a glove!) I had told her what my budget was including alterations, so she accurately estimated the cost of alts and was able to get me the dress at a price I could afford. In the era of "Say Yes To The Dress", it can be disheartening to go gown shopping with less than $5,000, but Elegant Lace did it and I couldn't have been happier!

dress came in late. It took 6 months to get my dress in and left me with only 3 weeks for alterations. I had it ordered special because it has a special lace on the bottom and I am very short. So it was extra to get it a shorter length. When it came in, the left side of the dress was the correct length. The right side of the dress was too long and the seamstress cold not make it shorter due to the special decorative lace on the bottom. I don't think it was the stores fault but they should make sure where they get their dresses from the do a good job of making it. I just had to make sure I didn't trip on the right side of my dress. We also got our suits there for the guys. Miki was a great help with picking what style and look we wanted. She knew what she was talking about. Although all the cufflinks fell out of most of the guys shirts. My husbands jacket sleeves were too long when he went to pick up the jacket. He said they did a quick hem that was sloppy, but I guess it got the job done. Couldn't really tell unless you looked at it. So that was fine. Overall it was a good experience. All almost fixable.

a lot on your dress and other accessories. stacia found me a dress that was similar and even better than the original dress i wanted for a better price. i chose a literally "elegant lace" casablanca dress with lots of beading. stacia event helped me in and out of dresses. she asks you what your venue and theme is to get an idea of what your style is. it's a good idea to look at more than one bridal shop and compare all of them. take time to find the perfect dress.

nted for my three girls...I can not imagine how much harder it would have been if I had more than three bridesmaids! Paisley at Elegant Lace was more than helpful! Not only did she make me feel like I was the only bride in the store, but she knew the different styles/colors like the back of her hand! This was a HUGE difference from the sales reps at David's Bridal..after our sales rep was missing in action for 30-45 minutes, I actually went around the store and picked out dresses for my girls to try on. Needless to say, I do not recommend going to David's. Elegant Lace is wonderful, the dresses arrived 2-3 weeks earlier than expected and Paisley did a wonderful job estimating 2 of the dress sizes as 2 of my bridesmaids where unable to come out to the store being that they live out of town.

y pressured to buy right then. As my wedding was over a year away I didn't see a need to rush something this big. They don't let you take pictures in the store until you buy the dress which seemed rediculous to me. I need time to sit back objectively and compare, how can I do that if I can't remember what dress looked what way? Each time I came back in (which I did only because it was there that I discovered the dress I loved), my consultant was like "why haven't you called me back sooner to order it" and I was only gone maybe a week between visits. The other ladies there when helping me into dresses would yell at me if I stepped on the dress itself, which is an easy mistake to make in a tiny dressing room. I had a friend order a dress from them too which came in two sizes too small. And her bridesmaid dresses didn't come in until a couple of weeks before the wedding and needed to be altered still. A few nice things I will say is they do have a nice selection. Prices were high I felt, but not outragious. And they have a nice layout for looking through dresses by having a magazine picture of the dress on it's hanger so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. Still, not enough to make me ever want to come back.

fort to get them together. When we arrived at the shop, no one knew what I was talking about (they had lost my appointment), and they didn't have anyone who could personally help us. My memory from this place was walking into the shop with my bridesmaids, and three people just staring at us from behind the counter. When I called to make the appointment, I was interested in 3 specific dresses by a specific designer, and I wanted to make sure that they had a sample of the dress. On the phone, the assistant said she had it, but when we arrived there, they didn't have any of them. We left immediately, went to Trudy's, and ordered the dresses that same day. I wish we hadn't gone to Elegant Lace Bridal. It would have saved me gas money.

il and my bridesmaids dresses their too!

questions asked. I would HIGHLY recommend them. I also rented tuxes from them and had a great experience.

very helpful. When I tried on the gown I had come there for, I knew I had chosen the right one. Maria did her best to work with me on the price. If you're not the kind of bride who knows what she wants before trying anything on, I still recommend Elegant Lace. Of all the stores I've been to, I appreciate their method most. They provide you with colored rings to place on the hangers of dresses you want to try on, and then once you've broswed, they bring in those dresses you placed your rings on. This is much more effecient than having the sales lady follow you around while you point at dresses, and it eliminates the rush and pressure of having her watch as you examine the gowns!

. My gown arrived in the wrong size and wrong color and until I threatened to involve my lawyer-friend they would not work with me to resolve the issue. (Basically they called me a liar)

there but they didn't carry that designer.

ke sure if they tell you a date something is going to be in and they dont call you by that date you call them! They told me my veil would take 8 weeks it ended up taking 13! I was calling every week trying to figure out where it was because at first they had no idea.

index cards and no one seems to talk to each other when something is picked up, or comes in after ordering.

y dress they never returned my call so when I went to pick it up it hadn't been steamed and was a wrinkled mess. They also ordered the wrong dress size for me since they measured me incorrectly.

also pretty good.
