Hope's Bridal & Prom

rehand and they prepared dresses based on my inspiration on Pinterest which made the process so easy and not overwhelming. They did such a great job listening to me as I tried dresses on about what I liked or didn't like, then presented options of dresses to try on based on that. They truly brought my vision to life helping me find my perfect dress and really are pro's at the wedding business.

d them what styles I was interested in, prior to my appointment. I tried on five dresses only and found the one within forty-five minutes. My dress came in about four months before my wedding. We did my first alterations appointment about two months out. Turns out, Hope’s ordered me the wrong size dress, but corrected their mistake by letting me take the sample size that fit in the store. I returned two more times for alterations and pick up. They will press your dress prior to pick up and walk you through the bustling process. I couldn’t be happier with how my dress turned out. My husband cried A LOT seeing the dress! We love Hope’s!

there for a year because I was moving. The alterations were perfect the first time, even with lace hem and beading on the straps and neckline.

nce so I decided to book with them! Even with Covid I still got a good selection to try on. Lizzy, didnt bat an eye with my plus size body, and was in an out within an hour and a half. The whole staff was super nice anytime they walked by as well. They have a payment plan as well which was nice. Lizzy explained everything in great detail and I had no questions when I left. I will recommend them over and over!

or the first time. They invited me back for another trunk show that thought would fit my design style and I fell in love with my dress. All of the ladies at Hope's are so amazingly wonderful. They are so nice and helpful! They make you feel so special and give you so much attention. I cannot say enough about Lizzy, she is such a gem! I had quite a few alteration appointments to get my dress just right but they did not stop until it was perfect. Like I said, being a plus size bride is nerve racking, but they made me feel so comfortable and ensured me that everything would be perfect for me wedding day and it absolutely was! We also rented our guys' suits through Hope's which was so convenient and easy!

el welcome and calm and really took time to understand what I wanted and found me the perfect dress within my budget! 😃 I believe Ariel was the name of my consultant and she did amazing 🤗

even 10 minutes and found the perfect lavender formal wedding dress for my masquerade themed wedding for Halloween next year! Susan was extremely helpful and the dress was a size they could fit down to my size as well as letting me know it was 50% with easy affordable payments (layaway!). I will have it paid off in plenty of time before the wedding so alterations can be made! I love it!! I have many many pictures of it till I can officially go pick it up!!! 🤣👰🏼💍 Thank you Susan and Hope's Bridal and Prom in Davenport, Iowa!!!

to the store. I was able to have a virtual consultation during this pandemic before my actual appointment where I was able to see some of the dresses I would be trying on! When I arrived at the store it was beautifully laid out and organized. Everyone was well-dressed and I was welcomed with so much warmth and excitement. It was very easy to work with my consultant and she was receptive to my ideas, gave feedback, and pulled dresses that were aligning with my vision and budget. When it came down to the wire I was stuck and a littler overwhelmed between 2 dresses. They suggested my mom and I go to lunch, take some time, and then return in an hour or so. We did just that, returned the same day and I found my dress! Diane, the owner, is phenomenal and was right in there helping me alongside my amazing consultant Susan. If you need a dress you need to go to Hope's! Home like environment, the staff is excellent and really listens, and dresses and superb quality and price!

team again. Whether they have your dress already in the showroom or you have your eye on the one you'd like to try, prioritize making your day stress-free by working with Hope's. I first tried on my dress at a salon in Des Moines. I had a poor and deceptive customer service experience there that immediately following the appointment, I called Hope's to see if they could order the same exact dress for me as my family had visited Atkins before, and they carried the designer. While they investigated if it was possible, a team member sent me photos of similar dresses in stock from her personal number to try on - very sweet. When we heard back 'yes' from the designer, we were full speed ahead bringing in a try-on dress, ordering it for the wedding (which turned out to be less expensive than Des Moines), and eventually undergoing alterations on my dress that was covered in hand-sewn 3D flower applique. My wedding dress was a unique ask, and the entire team remained such an eager, trusting, and helpful light throughout the yearlong process getting the dress (especially amid COVID-19 impacts!).

perfect dress! In addition to that, I was able to stay right in my price range! So, so happy with choosing to go to Hope’s!

ry following weekend!! We drove almost 2 hours and when we arrived they had already pulled all the dresses in the color scheme. There selection beats David's Bridal by far! We felt so comfortable and safe during this time at their business. And the best part was we were given amazing prices that would make any bride pleased!! Thank you very much for all the help for my special day!! Thank you so much, it was definately worth the drive!

the proposal to start working on getting a dress. They were so kind and said it wouldn't be an issue at all. I didn't have to rush order anything. My dress was in store in 3.5 months. They gave me plenty of time to visit and try on the dress. I had my alterations done in store as well and they were done perfectly. They stuck well within my budget and I wasn't close to going over. I can't imagine getting my dress anywhere else. Thank you, Hope's!

ng and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

unk sale for that specific designer! The owner at this store is very nice, honest, and REALLY knows her stuff! She saved me from ordering my dress in a size that would definitely not have fit. She was there for all of my fittings and gave the most helpful input, and my fit and comfort of my dress is all thanks to her! The workers are amazing and honest and make you feel beautiful but don't hesitate to be brutally honest, which is exactly what I needed. The seamstresses are super helpful and actually was hand-stitching my cups in at my final fitting when they didn't feel quite right - talk about great service!! I highly recommend this company, especially this location, to any brides looking for their perfect gown!

ir. I bought a Stella York dress during a trunk show and it was lovely.

ng dress did not disappoint. I was able to try many different styles and eventually found the one. The staff gave me suggestions on how I could customize my dress so it was EXACTLY what I wanted. By the time I was ready for alterations, I needed the dress taken in several sizes. Their alternations work was amazing! I cannot believe how they transformed my dress into something that fit so well. Hope's is a great vendor and I had a positive experience with everyone I worked with over the past year. Highly recommended!

particular you are given attitude and made feel bad about how you want your dress to look, took 4 appointments for my dress to be symmetrical, and fit correctly) ,communication ( I was on a time crunch, 7 months, which they were aware of, after waiting a considerable amount of time I called to ask about timelines and was told that my dress was in and had been for a month and that they tried to call but a business answered so they hung up and never tried again, I own a business and it was me they hung up on.) overall a great place to find your dream dress due to selection but don’t expect good treatment after they recieve their payment.

location, the girl working with me knew there was a dress at the Davenport location that matched everything that I was describing. They had this dress brought down for me to try on before I had to return to Kansas City where I currently live! Needless to say the dress was perfect!

I had another appointment a few weeks later and requested Laurie once again, due to her amazing personality and customer service. She was so personable and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Being a plus sized bride, I was afraid that I wouldn't find anything in a shop like Hope's. There were so many to try on!! During my second appointment, Laurie knew what I liked in a dress but wasn't afraid to pull a wild card. I was able to finally find my dress and it wouldn't have been possible without all of her hard work and dedication. I would recommend Hope's Bridal in Davenport to anyone and everyone, specifically Laurie!!

edding date. Maisey helped me and was wonderful. I described what I wanted, and they found lots of options for me to try! They weren't pushy about having me try styles I didn't want. After that, I went back to try on the dress when it was delivered. An easy and fast experience. I had the fitting about 1.5 months before the wedding. All it needed was hemming, which I opted to do with the in-house tailor. She was great! The end result was perfect.

ery bride. I found my dress, veil, shoes, and jewelry at Hope’s. I even had my dress cleaned and preserved through them it was so easy getting everything from one location. The staff made me feel super important and even went digging for a dress that wasn’t your typical wedding dress. My dress came in and it was a perfect fit, I didn’t have to have any alterations besides length. The staff called me promptly upon its arrival and we set up an appointment for me to try it on easily. If you live and Iowa you must at least visit Hope’s either in Atkins or Davenport.

, it was a no brainer that I would go to Hope's first. I went to several bridal salons after as well, but these ladies are very kind, do not pressure you, and never make you feel rushed like other places. They give the best advice, and I was happy with my dress alterations done at Hope's too. It was nice to have everything at one location! Great experience!

d, and alterations went flawlessly. I never worried for a second about my dress!

d were not pushy on anything. I took my dress to a friend to get altered. They were very easy to work with if you need a payment plan.

the salon with "warm fuzzies" after every visit. About a month before our wedding date, I decided to add a few alterations to the dress - I emailed a picture of the change I was wanting to Hope's, who responded RIGHT away and helped me get the ball rolling. I don't know much about alterations, and was intimidated to ask if what I was wanting was possible, but had no need to worry, as the Hope's team was patient and compassionate in working to understand and execute what I was wanting. I was also worried that wasn't enough time, but Rachel knocked it out of the park in plenty of time. Thank you!

was a bully and publicly shamed me in a room full of people (hoping to send a message to other customers) when her accusations were wrong. Rude and unprofessional!

with me having to fly in for alterations. I can't thank the team enough for being so kind, gracious, and professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommend for any special event. Thank you!! #ForeverAHopesGirl

re coming in even though we had an appointment. When going for fittings and getting alterations the staff and especially the owner got irate with my mother because as a seamstress herself she was making suggestions about what needed to be done. It was so upsetting for both my mother and me. If you know what you want and don't need alterations, you might find something good, but the service was so poor I will never return again.

up or alterations. I've always wanted to get my dress at Hopes and I'm glad it was such a positive experience!

ery one of not only my needs but to the needs of my wedding party. After traveling around the state to try on bridal gowns, Hopes had the best selection and had the most connections with exquisite designers. When I started dress shopping I had no clue what kind of dress I wanted to wear on my special day. The only thing I had in mind was a big dress and a lot of bling, a dress that was completely over the top, which was something only Hopes was able to offer. The consultants (and the absolutely amazing owner, Diane) listened to my critiques of each dress and helped me to find the gown of my dreams. The staff and owner were very patient with my endless desires and truly listened to my must haves and have nots. I never felt pressured to purchase a dress and was always treated with kindness and warm smiles. I was even able to find gorgeous jewelry to accompany my dress. We had a large wedding party with many members from out of state. Diane ensured to find the time and flexibility to get each of our members of the wedding party into the store days before the wedding (and the day before) to make sure everything fit perfectly! My mother also purchased her dress at Hopes many years ago and had the same experience. This speaks volumes to the high quality customer service that has always been and will continue to be at Hopes Bridal. I truly believe that the amazing shopping experience led to a wonderful overall wedding experience. I could not be more thankful to Diane and the staff at Hopes Bridal for the part they each played in my dress and wedding attire selection and making me feel like such a special bride.

My service was very hit or miss. My first visit, I had an appointment and went with my sister. We were told to start looking around and to pull some dresses. We did and then we waited. And waited. Finally we went into a fitting room and just started trying on dresses with my sister helping me. A sales girl finally came up to help put dresses on. The rest of the appointment was fine, but the start was very odd, particularly because they were not very busy. My 2nd appointment went without event. They had written down the dresses I had narrowed down from the first appointment and even though they had sold the floor sample of one, which prevented me from trying it on, I didn't have an issue. Everyone was very nice and happy when I decided on my dream dress. Then came alterations. I am a full busted girl, but was very happy to see that my dress fit like a glove at my first fitting. All the girls who helped me that day told me that the dress fit perfectly and needed no alterations. The factory hook and eye clasp at the top of the zipper came off, but they said that is common due to lower quality of the factory hardware and they would replace it. They altered the length. When I returned about 2 weeks later, the length was perfect and they did a great job with the intricate lace. However, their replacement hook and eye popped off again. We asked them to try something different, place 2 clasps, or anything to try something different since this wasn't working. They wrote down our request, said it was not necessary to come back and asked me when I wanted to pick my dress up. Knowing that this clasp was still an issue, I made an other appointment to try it again. For the 3rd time, the hook and eye clasp popped off. When I asked for help, a girl with curly, longer brown hair came in the fitting room, sighed and sat down on the floor and asked me what the problem was. She clearly wasn't in the mood to help. They hadn't tried anything different than the 2 other times before despite our requests. Finally I asked to speak to the seamstress since the brown haired girl clearly didn't want to help me and didn't have the knowledge. Now, one week before the wedding, they tell me the dress is too tight and I should've had it let out, but that now they wouldn't recommend it because I might not like it or it may not be ready. I was obviously upset because I had asked them at each appointment to come up with another solution. Finally the seamstress was able to come up with another solution. When I picked my dress up, the same brown haired girl was at the desk. She got my dress, then handed me a pink rose and a letter and said "I don't even know what this stands for or why we give it out". And that was that. The pink barn is an experience and I found my dress at a reasonable price point. The customer service was just very hit or miss. Ultimately my dress made me feel beautiful and I will tell people that they have an affordable selection but it is definitely not the "say yes to the dress" experience you see on TV.

the wrong size.

a Mother of the Bride dress for my mom, as well as my bridesmaid dresses! I highly recommend Hope's!

to keep the store open for me if my family couldn't commute there in time before closing. Their dresses are top-notch at a Midwest country price. They had an amazing selection. I went because they were the only shop in 100 miles that carried a specific gown, and I ended up choosing another one from their beautiful selection! They had plenty of veils and belts for me to pair with the dress. There was also comfy seating for my family and a huge wall of mirrors for looking at yourself in the gowns. This shop is worth the drive to get there!

r job and made me feel like I was special.
