Beware! I just want to let everyone know, you should look elsewhere for your bridal needs. First off, this is a long review, but I want you to fully understand the situation and what happened to ensure that the same doesn't happen to you. While this business has a great selection of wedding dresses, and my fiance was so excited to have found the "perfect dress", her experience with the veil was where the entire experience when south. My fiance was all smiles and was telli...Continue Reading

Around April of 2017 I was beyond stressed with trying to find a wedding gown. I was running out of time and options as I was getting married in May. Because of the size dress I needed I was turned away by several places and some places couldn’t get a dress in time for my size. What’s a bride to do right? My MOH took matters into her own hands and started looking for me. Well she ran across this gem here.

I had heard positive reviews from my friends who had gotten their prom dresses from Formal Elegance, so I decided to give it a shot and shop there as well and I was not disappointed! The service was great and I felt super comfortable and had a blast trying on prom dresses, unlike some other bridal shops where they seem too pushy and make me feel a little pressured. I found my dream dress within an hour and I can easily say that I was thrilled with the overall experience and will be back again one day! 

Business response:

Thank you so much Laura . It was Such a pleasure meeting you today . We try to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible Once again Thank You for being a Formsl Elegance Girl

Barbara and Randi were amazing today while shopping for my daughters Senior prom dress. They were so helpful and complimentary to her. We have been many places buying various dresses over the years and this was by far our best experience. I encourage everyone to go here for prom/wedding. You won’t regret it! My daughter ended up with a GORGEOUS pink satin prom dress she is absolutely in love with. Thanks Barbara and Randi!!!��

Locally owned shop, so it's very personable. The owner Barbara goes above and beyond to make sure she is putting the latest designs trending and gives excellent customer service. Absolutely beautiful gowns, whether you are looking for bridal , prom, formal. She also carries a great selection of jewelry. Make sure to stop by and experience what this shop has to offer. :)

Formal Elegance is one of the few stores where the owner really cares about the customers. Barbara has an amazing sense of style and she loves to help her customers in every way. I have noticed after being in the store with her, your self esteem and confidence will go up along with your sense of style. A must visit for personalized dress shopping!
