I had an amazing experience here! Claire helped me, and she was so accommodating, she even tried on a few dresses since she was pregnant, and I will be pregnant for my wedding. She did not have to do that at all! She was focused on me, and wasn't going back and forth between clients (like other shops), and was so helpful with her opinions. She helped me stay on track with my budget and even brought other options in case I wanted to try something different. I can't recommend this place enough, they went above and beyond giving me the bridal experience! Heart eyes!

A gem and worth the trip to FWB if you can't find gowns locally. Bob helped us; he was patient, helpful and professional. Highly recommend!

Cecilia was incredible! I am amazed at her knowledge, professionalism, and patience. I'm am from Houston visiting my mom and had the most outstanding service I could ever ask for. I may have found the dress but I am still on the hunt!

Bought my daughter a dress from here for an event. On our way to the event we noticed the dress had SAMPLE sewn on the outside of it. How humiliating! Ruined it for her! No time for a new dress.

We had a phenomenal experience at Simply Elegant. Our consultant, Cecilia, was attentive and patient throughout the process. She gently guided me throughout the bridal shopping experience and made me feel like my best self. Dress shopping can be stressful, but Cecilia truly made our bridal shopping a breeze. She is a true gem!

Amber was our sales associate that helped my daughter find her wedding dress this morning. She was so patient, kind and she knew her job very well. She gave my daughter helpful suggestions and made this day about her completely! The whole appointment she kept it very professional! I loved the whole set up of the bridal store. I also enjoyed that we were pretty much by ourselves the whole appointment!

When I first walked in I did not feel very welcomed by the man at the front. However, when Amanda came to help me pick out dresses, things immediately got better. My budget was lower than the average price of their dresses (which is $1300-$1500) so she started with dresses from the clearance rack. She listened to me very well and picked out the exact style of dresses I was interested in. By the fourth or fifth dress I tried on, I had found the one!
It was an incredibly good price, about 50% off. Amanda made my experience so wonderful and I would definitely recommend Simply Elegant to brides looking for beautiful, elegant dresses for a good price!
