I went to Veiled in Elegance for my junior bridesmaid and my mother and they absolutely exceeded expectations. I wish more bridal salons accommodated others in such a personal and touching way. It is such an intimate feeling, they take the time with you to explain the material, designer, fit, etc. I am coming back for flower girls as well. Thank you for making it such a great experience.

Everything about Veiled in Elegance is just so lovely. Kathy, Peggy, and the rest of the ladies at Veiled in Elegance just made my whole wedding dress experience so fun, so enjoyable and I never once had to worry about anything. I knew it would all be taken care of even down to alterations. After some minor alterations(cause Kathy is awesome and ordered the perfect size dress for me) my dress looked like it was made for me. I would wear it every day if I could. So, I was one of those brides who had NO idea what I was looking for. I was torn between fit and flair and a-line. They never made me feel rushed to make a decision. Now, on to the veil. I really wanted and always envisioned wearing a bird cage veil. Kathy picked out THEPERFECT birde cage veil. I still swoon over it every time I look at pictures from our wedding. :)

I had an amazing experience at Veiled in Elegance. The shop was beautiful and everyone in it is friendly. This was my fourth wedding dress stop, and the first dress I put on was the one. Interesting, it was pulled by one of the gals would thought it would look great on me, and it did. I tried on more to make sure my feeling was right, but went back into the first dress. I purchased my dress, veil, belt and earnings from the store. All within my budget! Even though I live in the city, I commuted in so Kathy could work with me on the alternations. This woman is a miracle worker! We had some challenges with the dress fit given my bust, and Kathy worked with me to built it up, and she ended up designing custom lace straps which turned my gown couture :-) The lace matched the dress perfectly, and she even mirrored the beading. My family and friends agreed the new design was perfect and seemed like it was always meant to be. Each and every visit was amazing. Everyone was so friendly, and worked to accommodate my schedule given I was coming in from the city. Kathy even came in on a day off and stayed late, true class an customer service. I couldn’t recommend the store enough. It was beautiful and memorable.

Originally we had an appointment down the street to look for mix and match bridesmaids dresses and had a bit of time to kill before the appointment so we called Veiled in Elegance to see if they could fit us in. Luckily we were able to walk in 10 minutes later! The women who work here are so sweet and funny. My two bridesmaids found some very pretty dresses that didn’t make them feel like quite so much of a bridesmaid. Throughout our basically walk-in appointment we had suggestions and input from at least two of the girls working, and one even thought to pull a dress off a window display for my bridesmaid to try — it ended up being her dress! I can’t speak to a bridal appointment, but they carry some seriously gorgeous wedding gowns. I had already purchased elsewhere but while my girls were trying on dresses the woman helping and I chatted and ooh’ed and ahh’ed over their newest dresses. Sidenote: They are clip ninjas. Before the girls could say anything about the fit of a dress they had it clipped and into place so they could get a better feel for the finished product. Very Important! You can really tell they enjoy their job. Thank you for the very fun experience, the next store’s stock didn’t hold a candle to what we found here and I can’t wait to see how they’ll all look next spring.

Very disappointed! Was there for my daughter’s wedding dress and there was no warm welcome, no questions about the type of wedding she was having or even if she had a budget. Very little personal assistance in the fitting room, the wedding dresses were passed back-and-forth through the curtain and then my daughter had to ask for assistance to have dresses pinched to fit her properly. We never knew the first woman’s name who helped us and was constantly called away and when the next girl came to help we never knew her name either. While we did have an appointment, and we were on time, it felt like we were an intrusion! Very very disappointed compared to the place around the corner where we returned from earlier in the day and ended up purchasing a dress!
