I was looking for a simple, timeless wedding dress and I found it! They specialize in timeless, simple elegance, so it was a perfect fit. They were so helpful recommending dresses as well as accessories that go together to pull everything together. I loved everyone at VIE so much I got my dress, my accessories, my mom's dress, my bridesmaids dresses, & my flower girl dress all at Veiled In Elegance. I highly recommend it, as does my whole bridal party! The seamstresses are also wonderful! Quality designer gowns you'll love in a quiet and calm atmosphere. Not big, loud, and crazy. It's the perfect fun, relaxing experience.

I had an amazing experience at Veiled in Elegance…read more 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.

I would give them zero stars if I could. I had a very disappointing experience at this bridal shop…read more From the moment I arrived, the staff was extremely rude. One of the higher-up employees was speaking very disrespectfully to the seamstress right in front of customers, which was really uncomfortable to witness. I arrived for my scheduled 11:00 appointment to simply pick up the dress--nothing needed to be done--but I was told I would have to come back at 5:00 to get it. They also never called me when the dress came in. Earlier in the process, they told me I needed to find my own seamstress for alterations, so I arranged that on my own. Then, because they didn't have my dress in on time, they suddenly told me they could "fit me in" with their seamstress instead. The whole situation felt very disorganized and frustrating. Overall, the customer service was poor and the experience was far more stressful than it should have been for something as important as a wedding dress. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place.

Jessica was AMAZING. She was so attentive, supportive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire appointment. Nikki, the owner, was also extremely attentive over email and made booking my appointment so easy. Her responsiveness and warmth set the tone before I even walked through the door. One of the things I loved most was how intimate the space felt. We had the whole shop to ourselves, which made the experience even more special. I was able to bring my mom, my fiancé's mom and sister, my cousins and aunts, and a close friend from my bridal party. It was the perfect, private setting to soak in such a meaningful moment. Love Theory made saying "yes" to the dress unforgettable. I'm so grateful for Jessica and Nikki for creating such a warm, personal, and memorable experience.
