Just Wonderful! Great deal – I bought my prom dress this afternoon at Storybook Weddings and Proms. They were having a sale where every prom dress was $99. It was a great deal because the dresses are all designer and high quality. There were a lot of other people there trying on dresses, but surprisingly, the two people working there were very friendly and helpful and helped me eventually decide which dress. The atmosphere was very relaxed and no one pressures you to buy (but why not when the deal is so great!) My mom was wi... read more

Horrible Experience – I made an appointment to try on wedding dresses. I brought 2 of my friends with me. We walked in and took off our shoes. We were greeted shortly after and I told the girl that I had an appointment. She said ok, and told me that I could look at dresses and pick out a few and she would come back to grab them. So we browsed the dresses and picked out a few that we liked. She took them to the room (which looked like a storage room as it had several mannequins in it) and asked me if I needed a strapless bra.... read more

Wonderful Selection for small town! – I came into Storybook looking around to see if there was any dresses that I liked. I found several that I loved but as I was looking Vickie the owner told me that because she was the staff there at the time that I should make an actual appointment with her. THIS IS NORMAL! Unless you go to a mega bridal store like David's you need to make an appointment to get that one on one service. Do you ever see walk ins on "Say Yes To The Dress"... oh, no..(sorry but the reviewers before me seem to... read more

Had great luck! – I had a great luck at Storybook Weddings! The gals that worked there were super friendly and my family / friends and I had a lot of fun both times I tried on gowns. (I found my dress the second time.) I loved the fact that it is privately owned and that the owner was there nearly every time I stopped in the store. I'm so glad I found my dress there and not one of the places in Des Moines (where I live). They all seemed either over-priced or impersonal. I would tell ANYONE to visit Storybook. LOVED IT.

Horrible Service – My two sisters and I walked into this shop after driving 20 minutes to get there only to be ignored. We were looking at brides maid dresses for my oldest sisters wedding. When we walked in the door, we took off our shoes like the sign asked. We walked in and there was a bride being fitted, with one worker helping here, while another one was walking around. We walked straight past both of them and tried to make eye contact while they both turned their heads and ignored us. Never ONCE did anyone say hi or an... read more

Wonderul – I went here to look for wedding gowns and was treated very special. I received wonderful customer service both times I was in here and both women also gave me great advice on finding the dress that was "The One". I ended up not purchasing my gown at this shop because I found what I was looking for elsewhere, but I would definitely recommend this place to others based on the amount of time spent here. It was a great shop with amazing dresses (reasonably priced!).

Never going back.... – My family and I go to a lot of formal dinners and I have always had good luck finding nice dresses at Bridal Salons. My boyfriend and I went in to Storybook to look at some dresses. There were about 2 people working and one bride trying on her dress. We took off our shoes and started to look around. We asked for some help and they just ignored us, and we could not get any help. So we decided that we would leave since we weren't being helped at all. As we were getting our shoes on, another couple walked... read more

Worst Service ever, ruined my wedding – Worst service I've ever had: This company was aweful. I ordered all of my wedding things through them august of '05 and it is 2008 and still not worked out. The tuxes did not come in until the day of the wedding and they were ripped and stained. The tux shoes were lost and none of them matched or were what we payed for. They charged 50% for all there merchandise and then have you pay the other 50% when it comes in but don't tell you that on your initial purchase. They yelled at my brid... read more

Aweful Aweful Aweful – The first service was great but after my first purchase (my dress) everything went down hill, they did not keep track of what I owed and It was very confusing. Everything was all mixed up and a real added stress where there did not need to be one. I really do NOT recommend this shop for your wedding, It was a horrible experience for me
