Elle James Bridal was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The team was attentive, listened to exactly what I wanted, and helped me find ...
the perfect dress without any pressure. The intimate, personalized experience made dress shopping fun and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with my dress and highly recommend Elle James to any bride!
I had the most AMAZING experience at Elle James! I could not recommend them enough!! I was so worried I would be overwhelmed and unsure — there was so much I didn’t know about what...
I liked/wanted. But the pre-appointment communication was top-notch, which made the whole experience feel so personally curated. I appreciated that I didn’t have to try on a million dresses that weren’t me at all — just a hand-picked selection based off my Pinterest board and prior communication. I left knowing I found the PERFECT dress with no room for second thoughts! My stylist Taylor was amazing — I felt like she could see inside my brain. After such an opposite experience at another very popular store, I was even more thankful I had the experience I did at Elle James. It was so special. ❤️ If you’re going to make a few appointments in the area, make this the FIRST!!
I had a great experience here with Sarah and highly recommend to new brides to make an appointment at Elle James!

Elle James was the fifth bridal shop I had visited during my dress shopping, and by far the best. Sarah helped me during my appointment, and she was amazing, listened to me, and I ...
felt like she truly knew what I was looking for. The dresses that Elle James carries are so far above any other bridal shop in Mississippi or Alabama. One of the best things about this store is that they have a Pinterest board you can browse before you visit, and they will pull the exact dresses you like for you to try on. I can't say enough good things about this store!!
Amelia did a fantastic job selecting dresses that were EXACTLY what I was looking for. If you are looking for your dream dress, Elle James is a must visit!
I had a wonderful experience at Elle James! They were so kind, respectful of my budget, and made the appointment so fun and easy! I did not feel pressured to make a decision and wa...

I cannot recommend this bridal shop more. My stylist Amelia knew exactly what I wanted from pictures I sent her and she hit the nail on the head. I could tell she knew what she was...
doing. The pace we went to trying them on was perfect. My 2 hour appointment only took an hour and a half and I already had my dress picked out.
My experience at Elle James was everything I hoped for and more. My stylist Laura and the whole team made me feel so welcomed and like they’ve known me for years. Laura was informa...

session ! I was able to bring wine and snacks ! Laura helped me narrow down my dress options and pick my dream dress! I love that Laura was able to study my Pinterest account and find dresses I loved ! If I could buy them all I would have that day lol !! 😂 I felt like I was on say yes to the dress !! Beautiful shop in a beautiful location! I would recommend this place to anyone becoming a bride soon !!!
10/10! The staff was incredible and so sweet. I found my perfect dress and had the best time doing so.
Still on Cloud 9 from my experience at Elle James!! Sarah, and her team, are an absolute dream to work with. I didn't expect much from this day, as I kind of dreaded dress shopping...
. However, Sarah literally made this day to be exactly what everyone dreams of and talks about. She listened to everything I had to say about each and every dress I tried on, and pieced it all together to find the absolute perfect dress. One that fit all my "no's" at the start, but ended up being perfect for me. She pushed me out of my comfort zone, with regard to things I'd liked along the way, and I couldn't be more thankful. Their process, communication, attention to detail, knowledge of their product and willingness to listen to your wants and needs is absolutely top notch. I could not say enough good things about them, and I can't wait to see them again soon for my fittings!
I can't tell you enough how special it was to get to work with Elle James team to find my wedding dress. The best way to say it is that I loved them so much that I came back and bo...
ught a second dress for my rehearsal dinner! I felt so special and beautiful in every dress they helped me choose! it was the be most amazing feeling to really get to feel like a bride. The entire experience felt completely catered to me and if you are worried that shopping near your home town could cause some unforeseen dress doubles out there, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT! ELLE JAMES keeps a list of each dress and who is wearing them in order to not sell the same dress 2x to those who you know or can think of might be in your circle!!
By far the best bridal shop. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Elle James Bridal for making my dress dreams come true!!
I was a little nervous about going, but theses girls helped so so much! They knew exactly the style I wanted, and they were so patient and sweet. So very helpful. Would recommend t...

ve to me alone throughout my appointment.
Kristin listened to exactly what I was thinking I wanted, while also taking the time to push me outside of the box a little. It was so much fun! Not only did she find a way to combine the two very different styles I was torn between, but she didn't take "it looks good!" for an answer. She worked until I knew the dress was just absolutely perfect. She was relatable and knowledgeable, and made my entire appointment seamless. Due to all of this, I felt confident to buy my dress immediately after my appointment. Whereas in other places I felt like I need to sleep on my decision, I didn't feel that way here at Elle James Bridal. You will not regret your decision to shop here! Thank you SO MUCH to the Elle James team - I am so excited to see my dress so soon!!
Extremely *jazzed* to be an Elle James bride! Laura was my consultant at my dress appointment & when I tell you she was PERFECTION, she was! She pulled everything that was in my bu...
dget, made me try on things that I felt I wouldn’t love (ended up purchasing), & overall made me feel like a queen. I will recommended Elle James to anyone newly engaged time & time again. Such a special, magical, memorable day. Me & Laura had matching cat socks as well that just made it all feel like it was destiny. This place truly is every bride’s dream!

ng with her was amazing. She pulled some beautiful dresses and helped me piece together the dress of my dreams. I am so grateful for her and everyone at Elle James. I also was lucky enough to win a free Little White Dress and have enough time in my appointment to pick not only one Little White Dress, but two. And Laura helped me make the right decision on those dresses as well. I just cannot say enough about this shop and the staff working there. The shop itself is so beautiful and aesthetic, but it felt as though we had the whole shop to ourselves. The array of designers they had were amazing and the different accessory options they had available were amazing and Laura did a beautiful job of helping pick the right ones. We took a beautiful dress and made it MY DRESS, that feels one of a kind. I truly cannot say enough about this experience. 100/10 recommend for all of your wedding dress needs.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Kristin and her staff made us feel like family, and their attention to detail is unmatched. We purchased the very first dress they pulled for me!

I originally picked my first bridal gown in my hometown- and it turns out it just wasn't the "one." I made an appointment with Elle James (which was my first choice to begin with)....
Sarah was my consultant and made the process SO easy, fun, relaxing, comfortable, etc. I LOVED that it was just one bride per appointment. The environment was intimate and boutique, and the focus was really all on the bride. It was such a different experience than my first one in my hometown. All the ladies that work there are so sweet, and even gave me information about some vendors that I was inquiring about, even texting me after about some possible contacts. This is the BEST bridal experience. I will forever refer future brides here!
Elle James was one of the best bridal experiences I had during the wedding planning process! It was the second store I had decided to dress shop at, and I had no clue what I was tr...
uly looking for at that point. With the help of Sarah, I found the dress, veil, AND accessories of my dreams! Sarah took every word I said and made sure I felt like the most beautiful bride during the appointment and on the day of my wedding. Their store is the cutest, and they have an amazing range of gowns, veils, accessories, and even rehearsal dinner dresses. I cannot recommend them enough to all the brides out there. 100/10 !!!

appointment, I felt so at ease. My consultants listened to the things I had to say, and I felt as if they even could read my mind! They knew I had found the one before I even knew it! The day was perfect, and every appointment leading up to my wedding was perfect. They truly care about their brides and want to celebrate each and every one of us. My wedding dress was all I could ever dream of, and being an Elle James bride was such a special thing that added to this very special season of my life!

ristin and staff know these dresses and what looks best on each body type! When you go to a good stylist, you get the outcome you want! I can't recommend them enough. Not only is the shop DARLING inside and out, the whole staff was SO friendly and inviting! I can't wait to wear my dress on my wedding day and be reminded of just how comfortable, confident, sexy and happy I felt when I first tried it on. Also, Kristin has a great wedding podcast that has helped me gather information and hear about other brides experiences! Don't ask questions--just book a flight to Jackson, MS and go get your dream dress at Elle James Bridal!

Picking out your wedding dress is something every little girl dreams of. Having heard so many positive things about Elle James bridal prior to my engagement, I decided to book an ...
appointment at Elle James to pick out my dream wedding dress when it came time to find my perfect gown. Truthfully, it was the absolute experience of a lifetime. From the moment I walked in, my stylist really took time to help me and encouraged me throughout the entire process. She legitimately took time to make sure I chose dresses I truly liked, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process of trying on wedding gowns. They had vast selection of dresses of all bridal styles, and the staff took time helping me determine my true bridal style. It was such a one on one experience. As someone who has been a huge fan of Elle James and an avid Instagram follower for as long as I can remember, I was absolutely over the moon when the owner, Kristin, took the time out of her busy day took time to give me a hug and tell me how beautiful I looked. It meant the world to me, and I will never forget that as long as I live. The staff is PHENOMENAL, and my Elle James experience overall was spectacular. Words can never accurately describe how special that day was for me, and I am beyond thankful for Elle James bridal. I’ll cherish the Elle James experience for the rest of my life.
I'm so happy that we choose Elle James Bridal! I drove all the way from New Orleans to try on a specific designer that no one else had in New Orleans. Which is crazy! I never reali...
zed how many stores in the Greater New Orleans area all had the same designers, sure maybe different dresses but there wasn't a huge difference between the shops. So I researched the dress I thought I wanted, found the designer, and found that it was at Elle James Bridal in Mississippi. I packed up my mom, MOH, & my mom's best friend & we took a trip.
The ladies at the shop were so helpful! They made the process easy & they had so many beautiful dresses to try on. Sarah was great at talking me through each dress, the difference in each dress, & building up to the dress I traveled for. Everyone that was working while I had my appointment were the sweetest people. They would each pop in to see what I looked like & just made me feel very special. In the end, I fell in love with two dresses, the one we traveled for & a dress my MOH found. I chose the one my MOH found & Sarah helped dress me up to complete the look. I even left buying a veil which I swore I would never want to wear at my wedding, but it just completed the look so much.
If you are looking for unique dresses & a personalized experience, I would highly suggest going to these ladies!
Elle James was my first bridal store to go to, so I was really nervous and did not know what to expect. The ladies there were phenomenal and helped ease my nerves very quickly! My ...
stylist, Sarah, was absolutely amazing! She figured out my style and what I liked very quickly. So quick that we had my dress in 45 minutes, which I never expected because I am so picky! I found my dream dress at Elle James and I know you can too! I am so glad I chose Elle James as my first bridal store because it quickly became my last! I will always choose Elle James!
Elle James is the best of the best. Kristin and Sarah made my experience so special and so much fun. I never felt rushed, or pressured into anything- they truly want you to feel yo...
ur best! Kristin even ordered me a dress I wanted to try on straight from the designer because it was not in stores yet- they go above and beyond! I could not recommend Elle James more.
I sent in some dresses that I loved before my appointment. Elizabeth and the awesome Elle James team had already pulled multiple options similar to that dress when I arrived! They ...
were professional and organized. I also told them that I was going to wear my older sisters veil with the dress. They looked at a picture of it and then was able find one similar for me to try on dresses with once I narrowed it down to my top favorites. I felt like they were so kind and supportive throughout the entire process.
One note I do have, when you give them your budget- example 3k, they will pull dresses 3K and under. But if you choose the dress that costs 3K exactly, you will still have taxes, alterations, etc. So make sure to think about that before giving your budget! But they only show you dresses in the budget you give them!
