Great experience! Got our bridesmaids dresses there. The workers were awesome. They worked very hard to accommodate us. Will definitely be back again!

What happened to Formal Envy? The website says they have closed. They still have my daughter's dress for cleaning. A call to come pick up would have been much appreciated.
I am glad I chose Formal Envy for my wedding gown. Everyone is really nice and helpful and makes you feel comfortable, which is very important because shopping for your wedding gown is already an overwhelming experience. I originally chose them because I was looking for a specific designer and gown, which they carried. However, I saw another gown elsewhere and they were able to order it for me and offer a better price! When my gown came in, we noticed that it was the wrong size. It was only 1 size larger and wasn't super noticeable, as alterations would have been needed either way. But once we brought it to Craig's attention, he immediately called the manufacturer. After confirming that they indeed sent the wrong size, he did not charge me for having to take in the dress and gave me a certificate to cover the cost of my gown preservation after my wedding! I hadn't made a fuss about the situation, so I wasn't even expecting the discount or extras, but that is the ultimate customer service and really made an impression. Prudencia, the seamstress, is the nicest lady and did a great job with my alterations, bustle, and some extra beading I had added to the dress. Really good service and prices. I'm ordering my veil from them too. I would recommend them to anyone in the area.
While I didn't end up purchasing my dress from here, I absolutely loved Pamela and had a wonderful time in the shop. They had a cute little area to show off the dresses to my bridesmaids and plenty of drinks for everyone. I would recommend this shop to anyone as they do have a wide selection of dresses--and Pamela and her crew had several dresses picked out for me when I arrived. I just ended up finding a dress I loved more elsewhere--but I did love this shop!
I had a wonderful and intimate experience searching for a wedding dress here! Nora was super friendly, accommodating and paid close attention to the details I gave her when she helped me with my appointment. She never became impatient with me. I felt very welcome and comfortable while trying on dress after dress instead of feeling stressed and rushed like name-brand bridal shops can sometimes make you feel. Needless to say I found my dress here! Say yes at Formal Envy! You will feel right at home.
In finding the perfect wedding dress I had some obstacles in my way! I went to other stores before finding Formal Envy Bridal and was treated like a checkbook not one of them asked about my likes/dislikes or anything, but walking into this store I was immediately greeted with a smile and look of understanding. All of the staff was helpful and kind and honest with me. I'd recommend them to anyone they go above a beyond to make your experience one that you'll NEVER want to forget!!
Crying is not how I imagined ending my dress buying experience. My family was in town for one day to help. Arriving we were greeted with smiles but I had to fend for myself putting dresses on. The ones that were too big I had to ask for clips to make it tighter which my family put on. No one could tell me how much alterations would cost the FOUR times I asked over the months. It took 3 months to find someone else to do them. The wrong size was originally ordered and I almost left the parking lot before realizing a size 16 was put in instead of a 10. The owner pressured me into buying a sash from them after saying they may not have it later on and kept saying I shouldn't buy it online because she had to pay her employees. I couldn't return it. The sales girl who was very sweet to me is the only thing that made me go through with the purchase that day. When I went to go try on my dress when it came in I was met with zero enthusiasm. I felt rushed out of there and cried all the way home. I was informed after the dress came in that a fee would be tacked on PER DAY if the dress was left there. When your wedding is 5 months out that's quite a bit added to the purchase of the dress especially when no one can tell you how much alterations could end up being. I had to pray my fiancé would not accidentally see it at the house for months! This experience should have been such a happy one but I still cringe looking back.
