Ellynne Bridal

nts. Not once did I feel like she was rushed or needing to go help someone else. She was attentive and helped me with all my questions and concerns. The whole staff was phenomenal, and I would highly recommend Ellynne Bridal! I'm so glad we came and found the perfect dress and I am so appreciative of the patience they had with us and dealing with us as walk ins!

in, the salesperson could care less about my experience. While they do have a wide variety of dresses, the experience was not what I was hoping for when buying my wedding dress. Blush Bridal on the other hand, had absolutely amazing customer service. I just wish they had my dream dress, so I could give my business to them.

very enthusiastic and she helped me narrow down and decide on my dress when I went back my second time to look at the dresses again. I found my dream dress and I feel I looked absolutely beautiful and everyone loved it. I got a little nervous about the time that it took for the dress to get shipped in but they assured me it would arrive in time and it did, it all worked out perfect. Thank you Ellynne!

me sample size dresses and expected me to get into them by myself (and I was looking for mermaids and fit and flare dresses... not a fun thing to wiggle into on your own). I am not a fan of glitter and the girls working there continued to bring glitter dresses in for me to try. I felt bad, but I got a little frustrated towards the end. They have SUCH A BIG SELECTION of dresses, which is amazing... it would have been nice to get a little more help and guidance. I did not end up buying my dress here, obviously, but wanted to give some feedback.

rted to try on the dresses I had picked ouI started to freak out because none of them looked how I had imagined on me. Anna, who was my bridal dress consultant, went out to the showroom and picked out a few that she felt would work on me and my body type. She nailed it! The dresses Anna had picked out were stunning and ultimately I was able to find my perfect dress. Anna and the Ellynne Bridal staff were so wonderful and the dress was affordable. I would recommend Elynne Bridal to all brides that are looking for a gorgeous dress that they will feel stunning in on their big day. They did an amazing job of making the experience feel very special! I will remember my experience always.

decision.

the organization at Ellynne's really helped me. I wish I could remember the person's name who helped me, but she was amazing at helping me with possible alteration options and she truly made me feel beautiful when I finally found the dress. My only qualm is when I ordered my dress in December for my October wedding, I was originally told it would be there in April and to call if i hadn't heard anything by June. June came and I called and they told me it wasn't in yet and it should be there by the end of July. I called at the end of July and they said it still wasn't in and to call back in a couple of weeks in August. Still nothing. My mom finally decided to call and see what was going on and the found out the designer had been behind and that I would have my dress in September. I did end up getting my dress in September but it left me with very little time to get alterations completed and I was lucky the seamstress had one spot left she could get me in for with my wedding being so near. This bridal salon is truly beautiful, the dress selection is great, and the employees are very nice, but I hope communications with the brides on the status of their dresses will improve in the future.

erful experience with Ellynne Bridal throughout the entire process! I browsed their website, knew which styles I was looking for and the consultant let me browse the entire floor for the gowns I wanted. I tried on a total of three dresses before I found The One. The consultant was knowledgeable and practical and did not try to upsell me anything or push a certain style or fashion on me. The dress actually arrived two months ahead of schedule and they pointed me to two independent seamstresses for alterations so it was great I could pick someone in Omaha and didn’t have to travel back three more times. I sent my sister there a month ago after she got engaged and she found her dress as well! Highly recommend to go in with an idea of the style you want and/or bring photos.

didn’t, so I had to move on. After going to every single bridal store in Omaha, even a few of the consignment shops, I still hadn’t found anything that really jumped out at me, except for one, but it was over budget. My Mom and I went to a bridal show and saw Ellyne Bridal’s display and grabbed a brochure and talked about visiting them sometime. After about a week I finally decided to go through all the brochures I picked up at the bridal show and came across Ellyne’s and looked through it and saw that they carried Maggie dresses! I was so excited I made an appointment and my Mom and I went out there in hopes of finding that dress. Which I wasn’t getting my hopes up because it was also an older design of hers. So when we got there, Lisa my bridal consultant was at the front desk waiting for us. She was very nice and very professional. She asked me tons of questions and I even showed her pictures of the types of dresses I was leaning towards but I was also open to other styles as well. And I also showed her my Maggie dress and she wasn’t sure if they had it but she took us to the Maggie section and there it was! I was still trying not to get my hopes up since I wasn’t sure if it would look good on me. So we looked around and picked out a ton of dresses to try on. Lisa did an awesome job at helping me get in all the dresses and made me feel very comfortable. We decided to save the Maggie dress for last. And surprisingly I was down to 3 dresses at the end and one of them was the Maggie dress. I was in love with it but also loved the other 2 as well. So we made a second appointment to bring my dad and one of my bridesmaids along to see what their opinion was. They were a lot busier the second time around. Lisa got stuck in another appointment and had to go back and forth between us two which she did a good job doing so and the other consultants also helped her out so I had no problem with that. Everyone was so nice when I tried on the final 3, they all liked all 3 so it was a really hard decision but in the end I got the Maggie dress and I am so happy about it! I also got my veil here too and they did a good job of ordering that in as well. My wedding day had already come and passed but my dress and veil looked amazing that day and I am so happy with how it all turned out! I highly recommend this cute little bridal shop! They have a ton of dresses to choose from and everyone is so nice and professional! Thank you everyone at Ellyne’s for the amazing experience! I will never forget it!

ed at dresses within that price range. She was so helpful getting me in and out of dresses. She listened to what I liked and disliked about different dresses (even though I wasn't completely sure what that was exactly) and was honest with me about fits and styles. Victoria made me feel comfortable, excited, and beautiful throughout the whole process. It felt as though I were shopping with a friend! After working with Victoria, I had thought I found THE DRESS, but wasn't ready to commit yet. Was it possible I could really find my dress at the very first shop I visited?! After a week, I knew it was the dress! My mom and I went back to Ellynne's with hopes of purchasing it, even though we didn't have an appointment on a Sunday afternoon. Alexis and Nicole had a fully booked Sunday with brides-to-be but still found time for me try on the dress again and purchase it! The entire experience was truly easy-going, hassle-free, and fun! All the consultants I worked with were understanding, professional, and amazing to work with. I am so thankful that I started and ended my dress hunt with Ellynne's Bridal, and I could not have asked for a better bridal experience!

part in our special day. I'll never be able to say enough praise about Ellynne Bridal or their staff!

t of my budget but didn't ever tell me the prices. After I ordered my gown, they were incredibly difficult to get ahold of. One person told me my dress would be in late April and then the next girl told me my dress wouldn't be in until September even though was wedding was in July. They were just very unorganized and terrible at answering the phones. My next complaint is that the alterations lady and I have several appointments and we discussed they she would sew bra cups in my dress for me, as I would be unable to find a bra to wear with the cut of the dress. She forgot to bring them every time and then never sewed them in even though I paid for them. It was just kind of a mess with how forgetful she was. Then on my wedding night, my bridesmaids were constantly having to pull sewing pins out of my dress for me that the alterations lady forgot to take out.

out my engagement that I had the right man and the right dress! I live out of state, and everyone was very accommodating of my schedule to get my dress altered when I came back to town. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, from the moment I stepped in the door until the day I carried my dress out to get married. I never had any doubts and had complete trust and confidence in Ellynne's to provide my dress for our wedding day. It was such a relief to not have to worry about one more thing during the planning process. Thank you for providing such an excellent service!

lynne's went above and beyond to make this special experience everything I hoped it would be. While shopping, I never felt pressured and the team was sure to help me stay within my budget. Their assistance helping me find the dress + accessories was very much appreciated. I cannot say enough about my positive experience and I recommend them to any future brides!

of the entire process of saying yes to the dress!

sses were absolutely gorgeous on all of my bridesmaids. Everything from the style to the color was perfect. I received so many compliments on how great the bridesmaids looked also. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience.

ger, was very accommodating and set up a couple more appointments for me to come in and work directly with her to find my dress. I ended up finding a dress sample at a different salon, but Ellynne Bridal honored the amount we had already paid and ordered the dress through their store. They were somewhat difficult to get ahold of initially to set up an appointment, but were great when I went in for the appointments!

r of about 40 dresses… The staff was in no hurry to clean it up and made no attempt to apologize for the situation. Needless to say it was an uncomfortable situation and not handled professionally. I felt as if I needed a shower when I left. I'm shocked to learn that this place has been voted Lincolns best bridal show room, for the last four years. I question the integrity of that award.

f by the staff. I would highly recommend Ellynne's to any bride looking for not only a stunning gown, but for an inclusive experience with top-notch service.

r child, “No, don’t go in there, that’s the workers’ room.” I could not properly see any gown I tried on – especially from the back – because the room and mirror were so small. My consultant, like the rest of the staff, spent my entire appointment helping and watching another woman whose family had commandeered the entire floor of the salon. My mother-in-law, wearing a boot from recent foot surgery, was forced to sit in the lobby in order to have a chair. My consultant was not even available to help me try on dresses; she never once offered to help. To see myself in an adequate mirror, she recommended I walk to the front of the store – around consultants who were so busy watching the one bride they hardly even moved when I tried to excuse myself around them. I was clearly unwanted in the store and left in tears. My mother and sister approached Ellynne for me, feeling outraged in this treatment of all of us, and she could not have cared less. This appointment was heartbreaking to an excited bride and her family. I would never recommend Ellynne Bridal.

eil still hadn't arrived (they seemed surprised when I even asked about the veil so it's possible they just forgot to order it). They assured me at my fitting that it would be here in time for the wedding though. I called back two weeks before the wedding to see if it was in yet and they again seemed surprised-- after "talking with the designer" they said my veil would not be here in time for my wedding and that I could pick another USED veil they had in store for half price. My veil was a special color to match my dress, and they did not have the right veil or the right color at their store for me to choose from. I would think that after all of this grief they would offer a free veil (even if the veil was NOT even close to what I wanted) but they insisted that the best they could do was half off. They did not once apologize, they never tried to make it right, they never even called to let me know my veil would not be here in time until I called them and every time I talked to someone they didn't even act concerned or like they cared about me. If I hadn't called I might have never heard about my veil at all. Worst customer service of my life. Once the money is in their pocket it's over! If you want a good bridal experience stay away!

t so comfortable and like a true princess at Ellynne's! I would highly recommend them!!

had arrived. I received that call May 2nd and went to pick up two of the dresses to mail to girls and they told me they were not in yet. My wedding is the beginning of July. If I wouldn't have gone in I don't think anyone was going to tell me because I've talked to them on the phone since they've arrived and they said nothing about two dresses not being there. Hard to rely on. Very disappointing

t with a shorter dress, it might work. My consultant never looked at me questionably, just brought me beautiful gowns to try on. When I tried on my Allure dress, she came in to help me zip up & she caught her breath when she saw me. I already knew how much I loved the gown, but the deal was done when I saw her reaction! I couldn't have been made to feel more beautiful! Thank you for making me feel like a princess!

e from the back. I was there for 3 hours, but I never felt rushed or was reminded of the time. If anything I felt like she took extra time with me trying different things with my hair, different jewelry etc. I can't wait to go back!!

my dream dress here! She helped me by showing me accessories that would compliment the dress and was never pushy about making the sale. My fiancé is military and it came up in every conversation at bridal salons I wen to (a total of 6) and this is the only place who offered military discount! I definitely don't expect it but it was a much appreciated gesture. I would recommend this salon to anyone! (I even made the drive from Omaha )

often. I left this store in tears because I couldn't fit into anything they had. All the sample dresses are a wedding gown size 10. They do have a small plus size room but the key word is small. They had maybe 3 plus size gowns I liked but they were way too big and I couldn't get a good idea of what they would look like on me. The dresses I came to try on wouldn't even fit around my hips. I left this store hating my body and feeling very discouraged. This was, unfortunately my first ever experience with wedding gowns. This was supposed to be a happy and exciting day and it ended up being the worst experience I could have imagined. This store would be amazing for a petite women but for the majority of us average sized women it just fell short. I left feeling embarrassed about my body. If you are anything larger than a pant size 6 I would suggest staying as far away from this store as you can.

not get to start my appointment until 2:30. My consultant was rather young and her inexperience was very clear. She explained they were understaffed for the day and she was sorry for the inconvenience. At that point I wish I had just left after sitting in the waiting room for 30 minutes. On top of scheduling my appointment there was another bride there at the same time as I was. Normally this would not bother me but there was only one pedestal in the gallery and her entourage was coveting their spots and would not move over for my friends and family to see me when I came out. They were rude and brought down the experience even more. Eventually I just stayed in my room and would open the door for everyone to peek in. Halfway through my appointment another consultant came in my room to let my consultant know a bride from earlier in the day was back and wanted to see her. I just felt rushed towards the end because of that bride and very frustrated. Needless to say I did not end up buying a dress and am very disappointed in the service. My suggestion, go during the week or not at all.

sparkling moscato and they take a picture of you with whoever you came to the shop with! It's a lot of fun! I liked Ellyne Bridal so much that I went back to find my bridesmaid dresses there. That was not quite the same experience. I made an appointment but somehow they still overbooked, so my bridesmaid and I didn't get quite as personal of an experience. It was fine because it was a much easier situation to handle, but I was slightly disappointed. The next small problem was that at the time, they didn't have anyone working at the front desk so they never answered their phone. This was a problem for my bridesmaids because most of them were from out of state and the only way they could pay for their dress was over the phone. That was a frustrating situation, but eventually we got it all taken care of. Overall, I would definitely recommend Ellyne Bridal to Lincoln brides!

e front room is beautiful... it made everyone so excited to start picking out dresses to try on. There was nobody in the front room to greet us, but we didn't care as we just waited looking at the awesome dresses on the mannequins. After a while of waiting, my mother went in search of someone to help us. We then got checked in after someone came out and started looking at dresses in the back while we were waiting for the dressing room to be emptied by the group before us. My stylist (I wish I would have remembered her name) was a little disconnected from the process and we soon found out that it was her last day. That was apparent through the entire process as the bad energy flowed through the appointment the entire time we were there. The room that we had was a private room, but it was all together so I was changing in front of the group I had came with. This was fine as it was all family and close friends, but there are mirrors everywhere so it was hard to escape views of my half-naked body. I am pretty comfortable with myself and my body, but if I wasn't this could have drastically affected my appointment. We had tried on many dresses and a lot of them were very pretty, but I just could not seem to find "the one." It felt like we were close, but never got there. My family felt like the stylist did not listen to their suggestions and would come back with dresses that did not match what they were trying to say. I do agree that my mother especially can have a strong personality, but it was not something that was too overbearing or bossy, she just wanted to make the most out of the appointment and wanted to help find the dress the best that she could. It did not seem that the stylist knew the right direction to take the appointment in. I had styles that I was gravitating towards and we just reached a point where it seemed like there were no other options. Even trying something completely different could have helped, but we hit a rut and it was just not working. I honestly did not even want it to go further at the end of our appointment and I wanted to leave. I left feeling very discouraged, self-conscious, and worn out. I wish my experience would have been like the awesome reviews I have read on here, but I do realize that not everything can be the same for everyone. I thought my whole dress-shopping experience would follow the same pattern of disappointment, but at the next shop I found that it was completely different and I felt a lot more comfortable and important.

end Ellynne Bridal to any bride as they have sooo many gorgeous dresses. They really do treat you like a princess-they even clapped when I said YES! <3

worked well with my body. She was able to work with my budget and help me find dresses to try on, that I would be able to afford. She encouraged me to not try on anything out of my budget range, with the possibility of falling in love with it and not being able to afford it, which made complete sense. I completely fell in love with MY dress my very first day of dress shopping and said "YES" that same day! Lynne then encouraged some of my bridesmaids to try on a couple dresses next to my dress to see how the color scheme was all going to come together! It was such a pleasant experience! When I said "yes", the whole salon clapped and cheered and complimented on how great I looked in my dress. It was such a heart warming experience and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! My sisters have even promised to get their dresses their in the future. They have a great selection of dresses in many styles and prices. Wonderful, wonderful experience!!

:)

nd. Not a single employee acknowledged us. With such awful service, we left, and never turned back. I was very disappointed.

azing staff!

of this special dress!

mazing to work with and I recommend Ellyne's to all the brides I see working as a local hairstylist! Nga did a fantastic job on alterations and all of the ladies know just how to make you feel extra special.

I cannot wait until my fiancé sees me in my beautiful gown from Ellynne's! Thank you for being amazing to work with!!!

to me during this exciting process!

s down to the decision making and purchase of my dress, I felt like a princess! I was able to work with multiple consultants and Lynne herself! They were so helpful and truly made my bridal experience! I would recommend Ellynne Bridal to all brides to be out there!

Bridal will not disappoint.

e find the perfect dress. Awesome store and awesome staff.

a dress. I visited the store a total of three times (despite living in Omaha). The second time to purchase the dress and show my father, and the third was when they received the gown and I went to pick it up. Each and every time I was greeted with open arms. I even got to try on my purchased gown and find my veil and accessories. The two main fitting rooms are spacious and perfect for a party of four to privately look through gowns. We got to walk through the store, pick out dresses I wanted to try on, and the appointment went from there. I appreciate the experience that they gave me, and I cannot wait to wear my dress the day of our wedding!

s, and helped along the way. My dress was slightly over budget, so I paid for the "left overs" and they helped assure that my dress was "right on budget" for my mom. After purchasing my dress, I did have to wait 8 months for it to come in, so I started feeling uneasy when my dress came in two weeks before my wedding (don't worry, they got alterations done in a week)! Advice: shop early! Also, I went to try on veils (I wanted to try them on with my dress, but it took too long for it to come in so I had to go without) and when I asked to put on my sample dress, it was out of the store (although they said it would be there) so I had to guess what would look best with the dress. Once I picked out a veil, I was told it would only be about $20 extra dollars to order it a little longer than fingertip (I'm tall, so I had to order longer to assure it would be the length I wanted) - however, one week later I received a phone call that it would be about $300 dollars for the veil I wanted, which was only supposed to be about $150. Because of the time crunch, and price, I had to look elsewhere. All in all, I LOVED this salon, it was the "time crunch" things that make me give this salon 4-stars. Did I also mention that they clean/steam your dress for free after the wedding? :)

ry hands on and treated me like a princess (how every girl wants to feel) she made me feel like i was the only one in the room. Her staff were very professional and knowledgeable, by far the most spectacular service. Ellynne bridal offers alterations and Nga is a goddess!!! my dress is devine and i cant wait to walk down the isle. Thank you. overall experience 5 star plus.

le. They did an amazing job helping me find the right veil and earrings. I can't stress enough about how AWESOME they are!

ful for Ellynne Bridal!

was my first mistake. The second was believing that they would treat me or my bridal party with any respect. My first bridesmaid ordered her dress months earlier than when I went in with my maid of honor, and when asked about approximate arrival of this first dress, they "couldn't find the order," and that WE must be mistaken. My bridesmaid was told she would not need to put any money down to have the dress ordered, and when we mentioned this, the woman, whose last name is Hanson (or something similar), scoffed at this and said "that wasn't policy." I was shocked she would treat any paying customer in such a manner. But the true reason for this scathing review is the complete disrespect this same Hanson woman showed my maid of honor. When measured, my MOH was told the size that would be ordered, and that they had previously ordered a gown for her that was too big. Hanson responded simply by saying that women of "your size" needed the bigger sized dresses. This comment alone was enough to send me in to such a rage I considered driving the 7 hours to the store and give this woman a piece of my mind, and ask the owner what kind of shop she was running. If this is how you treat bridesmaids, how are you treating your brides that don't live up to your "perfect princess" size 0? Completely unprofessional. If you want a truly wonderful, unforgettable and, most of all, positive shopping experience, I would suggest looking anywhere but here.

to me was how welcoming every salesperson was and how much they wanted to know about my wedding. They are an amazing place

myself. We left after 10 minutes and saw another girl being helped; no one even said goodbye to us. When they followed up with me to ask about my experience, I told them how I was treated and they made the excuse that the attendant was "having a bad day" - this does not excuse how the other attendants working could not help me. Overall it was an awful experience, the dresses were way too expensive, and I would not go back there.

y price range. I took it off ASAP and tried on a few more but none of them were IT. After 2 days of trying on blah, run of the mill dresses I felt discouraged, tired, and sad. The owner, Lynne, came up to me and asked what was wrong and what she could do to help. When I told her I loved the one out of my budget- she didn't even blink before coming up with a solution to get me the dress of my dreams. She spent time to get to know my family and I. Lynne remembered exactly who I was when I came back to pick up my dress- even when the store was in the middle of a trunk show. All the other staff was very courteous and sweet. I would definitely recommend this salon to any bride!

a local business and b) to avoid having to fly back with my dress in tow. Ellynne's Bridal happens to carry the same designer of the gown I wanted. I called them with the exact style number of the dress I was wanting to order. I explained to them my situation (that I was a bride planning from out of state, already tried gowns on and decided this was the one, etc). I called a few times, often getting no response and having to leave a voicemail, which was never returned. Two other times I called, I spoke with a saleswoman, both times being told she would look up the dress and call back soon with a quote. I even spoke with two different women! Needless to say, I NEVER heard back. After waiting a while to hear back, I decided I absolutely would NOT be giving Ellynne's Bridal my business. If their customer service was THIS horrible with a serious buyer, I can't even imagine how horrible it would be if I would have purchased my dress through them. Let's be real here. I was literally saving them TONS of work of having to have me schedule an appointment, try on tons of gowns, and pick a dress. I knew my measurements and exact style numbers and was ready to provide them with payment. Why they wouldn't want my business is beyond me! I've heard good things about this place for initial dress shopping, but if you're looking to actually make a purchase, do your research with other shops in the area. I found two other stores, both in smaller locations, that carried the same designer and were extremely helpful!

shops to find that perfect dress and this one was by far one of the best. They even let me barrow a veil for my hair tutorial, since my veil was still with the seamstress.

ha to only find the perfect dress. I'm not sure the lack of customer service afterwards was worth it. Given the amount spent at their establishment, one would expect at least a small modicum of appropriate follow through and follow up with customer service. Long story short for me, is that I put forth at least 85% of the effort in contacting Ellynne Bridal. I received very little communication in return, and when I expressed as much to the owner, I was only met with defensiveness, hostility, and contempt. As an individual, I work in an extremely high-stress environment. Conflict is something I handle on a daily basis. Therefore, in my personal opinion, the situation was handled as carefully and tactfully as possible. I expressed what I was looking for and even complimented what I could of Lynne, her staff, and the establishment. However, this was to little avail. Ultimately, my request was rudely declined, and Lynne was completely unprofessional. It shocks me Ellynne Bridal remains in business. I hope future brides are smarter than myself and do the research before choosing Ellynne Bridal for their gowns.

y just gave us the style number and hoped we would come back. No other dress topped this one and I kept thinking about this dress and referring back to it, so I knew it was the one! I went back the next day. Overall, we also had the best experience here. Lisa was our bridal consultant and she was amazing -- so sweet and kind to my family and I. I love this shop, I love my dress and my vail that I purchased here! Thank you!!!

wns. Maddie was FANTASTIC, she made my experience perfect. I highly recommend Ellynne's for anyone wanting that "bridal treatment".

d them to any bride.

. Can't wait to go back for my first fitting!

yles just so that I would know what really looked good on me and what I felt comfortable in. She put me in a dress that I completely loved but it was too far out of my budget. I really wanted to give her my business because of the wonderful experience I had and the quality of the dress but finances did not make it possible. I would certainly recommended Ellynne's to any bride!

pretty and I found the one within my budget! I know I'll be going to Ellynne's again to find my bridesmaids, flower girl and tuxes! The whole staff was really sweet and fun to be around! The shop is really elegant too! Love Ellynne's!

perfect and help you feel absolutely beautiful! Ellyanne bridal helped me find my perfect shoes then died them BLUE! It was my wedding color and also something blue :). I can not stress how amazing Ellyanne Bridal is. I have been in other bridal shops and they aren't as welcoming or excited for you. Ellyanne bridal doesn't treat you like your just another appointment. They are welcoming and so loving.

p dress. PERFECT! And let's just say the price couldn't have been better!

ess! I purchased my dress this past weekend while their Allure trunk show was going on. There were so many amazing dresses with such unique detail to choose from! Initially when I had scheduled an appointment I was unaware that there was a time limit. The appointment before me had gone a little longer than expected so it was a given that I would most likely go over my time limit as well. Regardless, my consultant was calm and collected the entire time. (If I remember right her name was Kallee, and she was awesome!) I never once felt rushed and she was just made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process! I would, and have already recommended Ellynne Bridal to anyone I know looking to find that one of a kind dress!

day I went. I found my perfect wedding dress and cannot wait to wear it on the big day. I would highly recommend Ellynne's to anyone!
