I had such a wonderful experience while shopping at Ellynne Bridal! Ashlynn was my stylist when I had my appointment and she was so helpful during the try on process. She indulged my every ask! I almost said yes to the dress but fell in love with a dress elsewhere. But I do recommend checking this boutique if you can!!

Ellynne's Bridal was my first and only stop to finding my wedding dress. The lady's there are amazing and were super helpful. I was nervous and unsure of what to expect for my first time trying on wedding dresses. They helped me in and out of my dresses and were finding me beautiful dresses that fit my style. I walked in set on one style and luckily, they gave me a variety of options that led me to choosing something I never thought I'd like but ended up loving. Thanks to their great professionalism, help, and knowledge I found the perfect dress for my big day!

While on the search for my dress I went to a number of shops before coming to Ellynne Bridal where I received outstanding service, kindness, and energy from the gal I worked with! They helped me found a gown within my price range that also fit my taste and the look I wanted. I ended up going with a completely different gown than I originally fell in love with after two try on appointments with them. Not only did they take care of me as the bride but they cared for my guests each time with the same compassion and kindness. When I said yes to my dress they even brought out a round of champagne for my group and I which was super sweet! I absolutely loved my dress and felt like the most beautiful princess in the world, making my wedding day super special!!

I had a great experience in June 2022 picking out my dress with Ellynne! Ellyne was the fourth store I visited. I brought my mom, mother-in-law, and sister. We had a private room (at no cost) and a great consultant. My name was on a cute welcome board when I arrived. There was a big selection and it only took a couple of tries before I found the one! It wasn't what I had described when I first arrived, but my consultant quickly picked up on what I liked and ultimately pulled the one. I felt very comfortable and not rushed the entire time. We received champagne and took a picture with the classic sign and backdrop once I said yes.
I love Ellyne's client portal. It was so easy to make an appointment, to pick out dresses I liked ahead of time, and to track my payments once I ordered the dress. It came quickly and the store provided some recommendations for local seamstresses. I just had my June 2023 wedding and am still so in love with my dress!

I had a great experience purchasing my wedding dress at Ellynne Bridal! The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Quickly, the consultant pulled the dress of my dreams (I think it was the third dress I tried on), and helped me try different accessories to pull together the perfect look. They were easy to work with through the ordering and picking up process. And recommended great people for alterations and cleaning! I would definitely recommend Ellynne Bridal for a top notch wedding dress shopping experience.

Ellynne was exactly what I was looking for for all the day's dress needs (purchased my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses through Ellynne).
Wedding Dress: The patience was amazing. I was struggling to feel confident in my decision (which, Paige led me to the most perfect dress!), and instead of feeling rushed into a decision, Ellynne actually told me to return for a second appointment. They had a great selection, great staff, and respected the budget. Overall, the best process I could have ever asked for when selecting my dress.
Bridesmaids Dresses: The process of figuring out which designer was so easy with Ellynne. I was over seeing all of the same dresses for bridesmaids and Ellynne helped me pick a not as known designer while still remaining in a reasonable price range. The dresses looked great and were super high quality! As an aside, with COVID, we were sweating about whether the dresses would even arrive on time. With that said, Ellynne helped me create a backup plan to ensure everyone would have a dress in time for the day. Having them as support throughout the process was amazing. I'd highly recommend getting bridesmaids dresses through Ellynne just for that additional support and helping hand with your overall wedding vision.

I would highly recommend Ellynne Bridal to any bride! They provide a fun, relaxed, sophisticated, and inviting atmosphere. I went in thinking I was not going to find a dress that day, and I walked out with my dream dress for a good price. They truly have a dress in any price point! I worked with Nicole, and I would highly recommend her help and keen eye.

Yes, the dresses are beautiful, but my experience there ruined finding one. It was not communicated nor was I given the option to have my guests in the room with me. I didn’t feel comfortable having them watch me while I changed. It would not have been fair for my ill mother to walk in and out of the room while I changed either. I talked with other brides who have visited Ellynne’s and they were uncomfortable with this as well. The set up is something that needs to be re-evaluated.

Ellynne was the second bridal store I visited. After feeling pretty disappointed and the first store I was nervous I wouldn’t find something I loved. They let us roam the store when my appointment began, and pointed us in the direction of areas that would fit my style and budget, and let me try on as many dresses as I wanted. I ended up finding my perfect dress here, and the girls here were very relaxed and helpful throughout the appointment. They recommended belts, veils and other accessories and I walked out that day after purchasing my dress, belt and veil!

I can not thank the girls at Ellynne Bridal enough for how they treated my entire family while I was there. My sister go married is past May, and we found every gown we needed at Ellynne's. They were so flexible with all of our schedules since my sister had some people from out of town that needed to come and try on the dress as well as making her feel like an absolute QUEEN when trying on wedding gowns. I would recommend this bridal store to anyone who has ears and is willing to listen. LOVED it!

My wedding dress was perfect! Bridesmaids dresses were pretty unfortunately some of them were see through . When paying that price for a dress I think it’s a reasonable expectation there not see through . We ordered our dresses a year and a half in advance but still didn’t get bridesmaids dresses until a month before wedding . I didn’t get my jewelry until a few days before, which was definitely nerve racking .

First off, my dress is fantastic and I absolutely love it. My experience in the store was not the best. I had a phenomenal experience at the first store I went to and was looking forward to something similar here. The feeling I got was very cold once I walked in. We were ignored for a while, I know they were busy but simply saying we will be with you as soon as we can would have helped a lot. I was told three different dates for when my dress would come in. At first I was told it would come in a month after my wedding! This stressed me out way too much. As much as I liked my dress I wish I had found one at the first store as they were all way nicer.

I dreaded the day that I had to go dress shopping. I hate trying on clothing and it is usually extremely stressful for me. I didn't like anything that I tried on at David's Bridal. Fortunately, I had a great experience with Tina at Ellynne Bridal. She was easy-going, fun, & personable. I was not stressed at all, and after the feedback I gave her on a few dresses, she picked out my all-time favorite. I think it was the 4th dress I tried on. Please make an appointment with Tina, you will not be disappointed!

The girls at Ellynne Bridal were amazing to work with in choosing my perfect wedding gown! They were patient, accommodating, and truly happy and excited for me when I found the dress of my dreams. They were also very helpful as I had a unique situation where I lived in Alaska and California while wedding planning so was not the "traditional" bride and able to go in when my dress arrived, to pick out a veil, etc. Their selection of bridesmaids dresses was also wonderful, and helped make wedding planning that much easier!

I found my beautiful gown at Ellynne Bridal! They were very helpful when trying on dresses- they weren't pushy and they let you take your time in deciding. It did take a long time for my dress to come in- I ordered in at the beginning of January and it came in at the beginning of May. So order as soon as possible!

I found my dress at Ellynne's Bridal and was instantly in love! The dress itself was absolutely perfect and the service was delightful and helpful. I will say it took over 9 months for the dress to arrive which was a little nerve racking on my end. It was also difficult when the one tailor recommended for fittings was booked and I felt a tad rushed to find someone else. Overall, I loved my dress more than anything and would recommend Ellynne's anyday!

We unfortunately had a bad experience at a different shop and after driving 7 hours to go dress shopping we didn't want to give up so we walked into Ellynne Bridal, Tina didn't even bat an eye even though they were booked all day with appointments. 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!

I found my dream dress right away at Ellynne. Besides that, I really don’t have anything positive to say. When I would call to ask when it would be in (as I was given an exact date), no one had any idea or could give me a date. When it did come 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.

I was very pleased with my visit to Ellynne Bridal. I went with a larger group of gals and they were very accommodating and nice. The gal I worked with, Morgan, was very nice and worked hard to organize all the dresses for me to try on. She was 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!

I was seriously disappointed with my appointment at Ellynne's. This was the second shop I went to search for my dress and they truly paled in comparison. Other boutiques helped me in and out of my dress, but the employees at Ellynne just handed 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.

Ellynne Bridal had come highly recommended to me by my best friend.
I am so grateful as my my experience with Ellynne Bridal was amazing! When I showed up to my appointment, I had come in with a vision of what I wanted in a dress. When I started 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.

Ellynne's Bridal is gorgeous and has a vast selection of dresses at various prices. I was struggling to find a dress at other places, either too expensive or the dresses were just so beat up that I couldn't get a true image of myself in it, but 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.

I was nervous about going in as a bride in her 30s because I didn’t want to be treated like a baby bride who didn’t have a clue and just be rushed through a standard set of Pinterest-worthy gowns. When I went in for my appointment, I had a wonderful 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.

This place and their employees are amazing! After seeing a Maggie Sottero dress on The Knot, I had my heart set in that dress. But when I looked on Maggie’s website to see if they had any dresses in Nebraska, I was disappointed to see that they 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!

Ellynne Bridal is absolutely wonderful! This was the first place I visited while on the hunt for a dress, and I honestly could not have picked a better place. Victoria was fabulous consultant who discussed my budget with me and made sure I looked 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!

To be fair, Ellynne Bridal did have an amazing selection of bridal gowns and I am still so in love with my gown. I had a fun shopping experience and the store is very nice. The reason for my low star review is they kept bringing me gowns way out 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.

I found my Essence dress on a trunk show day. Not being a run-of-the-mill dress shopping experience, both Essence of Australia and Ellynne's worked with me to get creative with some requests I had for my dress. There was never any doubt throughout 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!

My wedding dress along with 7 bridesmaids dresses were all purchased from Ellynne Bridal. I cannot say enough about the customer service I received from the first time I walked into the door. Every single one of the lovely ladies who work at Ellynne'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!

Ellynne was the absolute best, from selection and price to customer service. I ordered my dress, veil, and bridesmaid dresses there and everything came in on time and exactly as I ordered and had pictured it would look. They took the stress out of the entire process of saying yes to the dress!

Ellynne Bridal was absolutely amazing to work with. They always treated me like a princess. I completely fell in love with my wedding dress and I received SO many compliments about my dress on my wedding day. It was perfect. The bridesmaids dresses 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.

I had a great experience at Ellynne Bridal when searching for my wedding dress. I found one during my first appointment (at a Trunk Show), but weeks later was contacted that it was a plus size only and would be too big to alter. Nichole, a manager, 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!

We dropped in without an appointment but there were no other patrons in the store other than us. A lady greeted us right away and showed us to a fitting room. As we looked around, we found dog poop in the show rooms within inches of a rounder 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.

I had an absolutely wonderful dress shopping experience at Ellynne's Bridal. From the moment I walked in the door, to saying YES to my dress, to having it steamed the week of my wedding, everything was perfect and I felt completely taken care of 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.

The staff at Ellynne Bridal made me feel discarded and unimportant from the moment I entered the store. I made my appointment six weeks in advance, and when I arrived, was offered a room near the back of the store that made one woman say to her 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.

Do not come here if you want a bridal shop that actually cares about their customers. I ordered my dress and veil from this place 6+ months in advance of my wedding. I went in to try my dress on about 2 months before the wedding and my custom veil 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!

Natalie at Ellynne's was by far the best stylist I worked with during all my appointments and different locations. She was very helpful hearing my vision, helping me narrow down my search and ultimately come back and say YES to my dress. I felt so comfortable and like a true princess at Ellynne's! I would highly recommend them!!

Love the owner of the place and the people are all really nice but are terrible at contacting back after they say they will call. I ordered all my bridesmaid dresses the middle of January and was told I would get a call when all of the dresses 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

I scheduled an appointment with Ellynne Bridal with some trepidation. I wasn't sure I should be looking at dresses like that since I had been married before and I was over 40. But I was drawn to the champagne colored dresses online and thought 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!

I had such a good experience at Ellyne Bridal! my consultant, Chelsea, genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect dress. She helped me to discern how I felt and listened to my concerns. She even pulled a dress that was about to go on sale 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!!

This is the perfect bridal salon! The consultant (Chelsea) was super helpful. I never felt uncomfortable at all. When I went in I had a good idea of what I was looking for but she offered her opinion on dresses she thought I would like. I found 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 )

This is a beautiful bridal boutique. The service was great and the gowns are gorgeous. However, I felt like Gretchen Wieners in 5,7,9.... I am a curvy size 12. I love my body, I love my curves. I am active and healthy. I eat well and excersize 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.

I had scheduled an appointment on a Saturday so I expected them to be a little busy, but not as busy and over crowded as they were. Right when I walked in, the front room was filled with roughly 25+ women. My appointment was for 2:00 and I did 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.
