Kat made an effort to make me feel so special while trying on the wedding dresses I had selected. She was super helpful and honest with the way the dress looked on me which I really appreciated. If you want a good experience trying on bridal dresses make sure to go see Kat! read more

They made me feel special and really listened to my style choices. There was no pressure on time or to make a choice. They were respectful and very thoughtful with their recommendations. Even though the price was much higher than I wanted (even for the sample model), I found the dress of my dreams! read more

Bought my wedding dress from here. Had a great experience, Akasha (not sure if I spelt that right) and April were super helpful. They had a great selection, and great value. They had answers for all my questions and made my experience over all very pleasant. read more

Such a great experience!! I SO recommend the Bridal Rack! I walked in just to check it out. They we're friendly and let me browse around a bit without bothering me before I scheduled an appointment. I brought two friends with me to the appointment and we had so much fun! Acacia was SO wonderful and helpful. She is everything you want in a helper to find your dream dress. The entire experience was low stress, fun, no-pressure, and just really great. I never felt awkward or judged, and there were never any violations of personal space. I felt totally valued as a person, was treated very kindly and respectfully, and overall felt very comfortable. I honestly didn't think I'd find anything at my appointment, but I DID and it is SO PERFECT! Thank you Acacia, and Thank you Bridal Rack! read more

Such a great experience! I was just in last week with one of my brides and Kayla was above and beyond helpful. I mean everything from getting creative in how to show us a gown in the color the bride was leaning more toward, to making suggestions on how to go about ordering to get what she really wanted and telling us about their sister shop for an off the rack experience. She thought of everything and asked all the right questions. If you are at all feeling overwhelmed and don't know where to start, this is it! read more

Unfortunately, I am one of many brides whose wedding was derailed by COVID. We had to change from a fall wedding in Hawaii to a winter wedding in Oregon in early 2021, but the owner won't exchange the wedding gown, even if I promised to buy the new one from them. Not even partial credit. Not even consignment. Every business is hurting and I wanted to keep my business local for a new gown. I guess store policy is more important than a satisfied customer. read more

I am planning a non-traditional wedding in two months and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a dress I'd really like in time but I did! Prior to going to Simply Elegant I ordered 4 dresses from Lulu's because they were affordable but nothing really seemed like a wedding dress. Marylin and her assistant were great to work with and first asked about my budget which I appreciate. They had may dresses that were last years models, etc. that were in the $300-$400 range. I tried on 6 dresses that were various styles and found one that was super flattering and comfortable! I am going to Seattle this weekend and thought I'd have to shop there but found that Simply Elegant had a great selection for various price points. Its so nice shop local! read more

What an amazing experience! We took my twin sister here to try on dresses for the first time for her wedding. It was so comfy and relaxed and intimate. Such lovely dresses! Prices are great. We were all so breathless when she found her dress, it's one thing to dream of being a bride someday, it's quite another to look down and feel like one, like the dream is finally becoming a reality. Laci was fantastic at helping us, so knowledgeable and helpful! She let us run her ragged poor thing but held onto her smile and excitement to help my sister find the perfect one. It was such a 'New York' feel without the crazy traffic haha. The next day my mother and I returned to get my sister's dress and my mother took a peek at some dresses for herself (she didn't want to take away from my sister's big moment) so that she can propose to my father on their 37th wedding anniversary to renew their vows! She slipped on that dress and well, my mother is a Queen among queens, but I've never seen her look like a giddy Disney princess!! So choked up!! Thank you to the staff for everything! read more

This wedding boutique is absolutely wonderful. I made an appointment online and came in with 5 people to shop with me. I was greeted right away by an associate/bridal consultant and was given the run down of how the appointment would go. She handed me several rings and told me to hang them on the dresses I wanted to try on and she would gather them up for me. She also gave me the helpful tip to size up a few sizes from my street clothing size as bridal sizes tend to run bigger. I tried on several dresses on and had such a good time. I ended up getting the very first dress I tried on, which turned out to have pockets! I was measured and told what size to order. They said my dress should be here in about 6 months. I look forward to going back and picking up my dream dress! I would recommend this boutique to any new brides out there looking for their dream dress. read more

Loved my experience at Simply Elegant. I wasn't sure what it would be like when I made the appointment for trying on wedding dresses, as my budget is definitely on the lower end. I hate the idea of feeling put down because I don't have many hundreds or thousands of dollars to spend on a dress, but I needn't have worried. Laci was an absolute gem who made my mom and I feel so at ease. She never once made me feel pressured into spending a lot of money or going outside our budget. Her main focus was finding me a dress that I felt great in. She even went out of her way to call a seamstress to see if an issue with a dress could be fixed and called me back the next day to let me know. Even though I may not end up with a dress from Simply Elegant, I wanted to let people know about my great experience here and how great Laci is. A note on the process for those who are uncomfortable undressing in front of people: the attendant has you step into a curtained room and put on a robe over your underwear. Then when you're ready, she brings in a dress and spreads it out on the ground so you can easily step into it. She then turns her back while you drop the robe and start getting into the dress. Then when you're ready to be zipped or buttoned up, you tell her and she'll turn around to help. Same thing in reverse when it's time for the dress to come off. She turns around and you step out of one dress and straight into the next! read more

I started my dress shopping experience at Simply Elegant. I then visited 2 more stores, Including David's bridal. I ended back at Simply Elegant. They have a wonderful selection of designer dresses. As well as great prices. And fantastic customer service. I found the perfect dress. All thanks to Marilyn and her amazing team. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a one of a kind dress. read more

I couldn't of imagined a better experience. I was helped by Lacy today, and accompanied by my mom and sister. Their dress selection was unbelievable! Lacy made me feel special, but also not pressured at all. I'm still deciding between both of the dresses I was in love with, but will definitely be purchasing my wedding dress from this amazing boutique! 10/10 recommend !! read more

I have no words. This store and the staff are top notch. My sister booked a little VIP fitting and the ladies provided yummy snacks anf the option of mimosas for those old enough and apple cider. Kayla was my amazing stylist. I ended up buying my Yes dress and couldn't be more thrilled to support this small business! read more

So happy there's a bridal shop like this in Redding!! It was so beautiful inside, was the exact experience I was hoping for! The whole team is so helpful and encouraging. Would definitely recommend looking here first! Tons of dress options and a great experience ‍ read more

I want to start by saying that I showed up here thinking I was just going to "try on" a specific style of dress to see if that's what I wanted. The plan was to go further out of town to the bigger cities to find my dress. Well, I was all wrong. Everything was perfect from the moment I walked through the door. The layout and decor make you feel like you're right at home, yet shopping for a wedding dress in a big city. It's beautiful, spotless and perfectly organized. There are choices in all price ranges and no matter what you choose to try on, you are made to feel comfortable, pampered and welcomed. There is absolutely no pressure. I picked a few dresses to try on and when Marilyn saw the style I was choosing, she brought some out that she thought I might like. She was spot on. She read my needs to the T. I came back the next day with my "girl tribe" and left with one of the dresses Marilyn had chosen for me. I literally can't say enough about her and the beautiful boutique. She made us feel like family and my wedding dress experience was a dream. Thank you Marilyn and Simply Elegant Bridal Boutique for a perfect day and a beautiful wedding memory! read more

Great selection and variety of styles to choose from! My stylist, Michelle, was a joy to work with. I walked in being a bit nervous/anxious about the process and she made me feel immediately at ease. She was able to keep me on track time wise for the appointment and narrowed down my style preference in no time at all. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Just wow!!! Lacy, Michelle, and Marylin were absolutely amazing. I came in for the first time to look at dresses, my wedding is 3 weeks away, and It was the absolute best experience I have ever could have imagined. They made It so stress free, the environment was warm and welcoming, 0 ounce of any pretentious attitudes, It was just like family and friends instantly. They went out of their way beyond what the appointment was supposed to be to help find the best dress for me and make my dress dreams come true!! Even their seamstress came in to help too!! They are all so sweet and my whole family is impressed with the customer service and care that we all experienced. I am so thankful and so at peace and stoked that this place is in Redding and no you don't need to go out of town first! Come here first!! Even if you don't find your dress you will find amazing girls to help and make you feel special and narrow down what you are wanting. read more

EXTREMELY UPSET CUSTOMER!! I'm not usually one to write bad reviews however I'm just baffled the way Simply Elegant has handled my wedding dress experience. I recently purchased a dress through them that obviously needed to be altered from the start. I contacted a couple seamstresses and told them I have a size 22 dress that needs to come down a good amount of sizes to be told that usually you can go down two sizes before you start having some difficulties and also having the dress lose its original fit. Mind you the sales associate from Simply Elegant NEVER mentioned to me or the four others that came to my appointment that a wedding dress can only go down two sizes without difficulties. So I spoke with Marilyn the owner of Simply Elegant and explained the issue I am having to be told that they can not help me and redirected me to call the seamstress that's partnered with them. The seamstress, in her own words stated,"the dress could definitely lose its original fit." I call Simply Elegant AGAIN and told her what the seamstress said to get no where again! NOW I'm extremely upset, what do I do with this fucking dress!!!! read more

The owner really takes her time to help you find the dress of your dreams, regardless of your budget. There was a whole room of dresses under $500, and even though I was shopping only in that room, she made me feel just as important as a bride spending thousands on a dress. Very cute boutique! read more

Super disappointed with the experience that I had at Simply Elegant when I went in. My fiancé and I went in to the store originally to just get a belt to add on to my already purchased wedding dress. I was unhappy with the dress and looking to add some sparkle or something. I had bought it online months before, but was compromising and didn't feel pretty in it. He insisted I should have a beautiful dress that makes me feel pretty and so we decided to start looking at some dresses while we were at the store. I asked the staff if I could try on a dress that I found and the way they treated me was honestly shocking. I assumed that they'd be happy to have a potential dress sale instead of just a belt-- but they simply looked at me and said "I thought you already had a dress" in a really rude tone. I had to explain myself to the sales lady and even then she kind of just sighed and said that she "guessed" I could try a dress on. If it was a bad time they could have asked me if I was willing to come in at another time-- instead they "let" me try on a dress in a side room and just kind of treated me like I was inferior. Idk if it was about my age or the budget I gave them or WHAT but basically it was really uncomfortable for both me and my fiancé and I decided to take my business to David's Bridal after trying on a couple dresses. Where I spent way less money for a prettier dress-- and wasn't treated like a second rate citizen. I really wanted to give my business to this local shop but sadly after this experience there was no chance. read more

I hate shopping. But I'm getting married which requires dress shopping. My mom made me an appointment here for an afternoon I was visiting her and I am so thankful! I was hoping to keep my budget under 500$ (which is possible here because the owner has a separate room for dresses under 500$), but of course I fell in love with TWO beautiful dresses over that budget. While I did not end up purchasing my dress here, I would say it changed my entire outlook and feeling about trying on and shopping for wedding dresses. The owner loves her job and it shows through her enthusiasm and willingness to support you through what can be a stressful process. She wasn't too pushy or too standoffish but perfectly involved and truly seemed to care. I am so happy to have spent a few hours here as it made me truly feel like a future bride unlike some other shops. Future brides, I highly recommend a visit, even if you do not find the one, you will have a wonderful time. read more

I cannot even put into words how wonderful Marilyn, the store owner is. She went above and beyond while helping my mom find a dress for my wedding! The dress is absolutely beautiful and it was so refreshing to have such a great experience while shopping! This is what shopping local is all about! read more

This cute botique located in the UPS Store/ Champa Garden shopping center off Hilltop. It's a hidden gem!The botique is clean and nicely organized. The owner is Super Nice and has a great selection of bridal and bridesmaid dresses. Prices are reasonable. They carry designer brands including David Tutera for Mon Cheri, Maggie Sottero, Da Vinci and many more. My visit was brief as I already have my wedding dress but I was amazed by the gorgeous selection they carry. The owner definitely loves what she does, is dedicated and super knowledgeable. Although my visit was short and brief the owner was very helpful. I recommend this shop for any bride to be it's a must stop! read more

Love coming into the Simply Elegant especially because they carry more than just gowns! I was able to come in and get the CUTEST bridal bag for my dress and a few Lipsense's for my girls. Thank you simply elegant! read more

I appreciated all the time you spent with me and my daughter. Although we didn't purchase on this first visit I guarantee you that we will be back and will spend my money with your boutique. I also love the fact that you give back to families in need especially the children. Thank you Marilyn you are the best! read more

The owner is very friendly and helpful. She made me feel very welcome and excited for my wedding day. I saw some gorgeous gowns at great prices! I decided to go a different route as far as my wedding dress (something more casual because we are having a small beach wedding) but I may go look at their bridesmaid dresses this week. read more

I was very unimpressed with my experience. I was looking for some styling help and all that happened was she showed me and my brides maids where the dresses were and then left I had to try on all my dresses alone and it was frustrating that I couldn't get any help. read more

Marilyn was so helpful and lovely! It was a perfect experience that I was not expecting to find so close to home! Definitely recommend!

I am really disappointed at the inconsistency of this company. We ordered four bridesmaid dresses from Simply Elegant Bridal. It was a very big mistakes. Not only were these dresses over 200$ plus a fat tax that they add on if the size is over a 16, but each dress was 2 to 6 sizes to big on 3 girls and 1 size too big on the other. They measure your body in three different places, but they still use the biggest measurement. That is all fine if they know their product and how the sizes run in each item. Which by this, they do not know their product, the people measuring do not measure correctly or, their charts are wrong. The bride spoke with the owner and she said there is nothing they can do unless they accidently ordered the wrong size. She talked to the owner over 3 months before the wedding and she said that every dress they order in their shop has to be altered in some way. When I spoke with the owner today she said she wish she would have known before that the dresses did not fit so maybe she could helped us, but unfortunately there is nothing she can do. This is not true, as to her conversations with the bride over a month ago. There is inconsistency and no ownership for measuring us inaccuratly. We thought we went to a professional to get dresses ordered and this company is not one I would ever reccomened. There is no returnes, no exchanges and no alterations if they made a measurment mistake, or any mistake. I ordered My dress the 1st week in May, and I did not receive it until the middle of July. My bride is very upset that now our alteration are going to cost each of us over 100$. This is very sad and almost not worth it because of the quality of the dress is subpar. If you have curves or anywhere on your body is not the same measurement from your breasts to your hips. I reccomend going somewhere else. read more
