    Hands down a wonderful place to shop! I cannot say enough good things about Kelli. She is…read moredown-to-earth, no pressure, and genuine. Professional and sincere. (No fake excitement or scripted sucking up.) Her variety of styles is excellent. Her choice of designers is based on what not only the beauty of their designs but the customizing options and customer service. One dress style can be ordered a dozen different ways to fit the personality of the bride and make it one of a kind. Don't be afraid of the prices or the fact that the shop is by appointment only. Prices are on par with every other shop in town and you'd be surprised the extra bang for your buck that actually competes with most shops in the corridor. The appointment only is TRULY meant to keep all the attention on you. You get the whole place to yourself. Also! Girls of all shapes and sizes can find something here...my bride friend (who is probably somewhere around a size 20) felt so comfortable and truly appreciated her experience here. Thank you Kelli!

    This place puts other bridal stores to shame, especially in eastern Iowa. Before going to White…read moreWillow, I had tried quite a few different stores in the area and left empty handed, disappointed, and self confidence crushed. As a last effort to keeping my business local, I made an appointment with White Willow. When I arrived, I was greeted by the store owner Kelli and she asked what type I was looking for and showed me the dresses. She made suggestions and let me and my group pick them out. The store was beautiful inside, with a very upscale feel. I was feeling unsure because of the sizing on the dresses I had already tried. I had already been to other stores where none of the dresses would zip or come close to zipping and was forced to come out with a completely open back and show people and look in the mirror and "pretend" that it would be perfect in another size. I was pleased to see that at White Willow the dress sizes started at 12 and went up, and had different styles mixed on the rack. You didn't have to go to a certain "section" based on your size. After trying on the 1st dress with Kelli, I knew this place was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and I was soon able to relax and enjoy trying on dresses. And the dresses! Are gorgeous, quality gowns that are quite true to size. I am a size 14-16 and I was able to zip or almost zip all dresses that I tried on near that size range. And the ones that wouldn't quite zip, Kelli pulled together and made them feel like they fit. Out of 6 dresses I found my perfect one, and actually bought it off the rack that night because for once, it fit! Kelli was very professional, both in her appearance and knowledge for wedding dresses. She took her time to make sure I found what I wanted and needed. Appointments at White Willow are also private, so you have the undivided attention you deserve as a bride. AND After I said yes to my dress, we celebrated with complimentary wine! The experience I had at White Willow, is what every bride should get when looking for a dress. I simply cannot express, how impressed I was with this business and the service I received. I would highly recommend White Willow to anyone looking for a wedding dress, and go here first!

    ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! My daughter found her…read morewedding dress here and we placed an order for it the day she tried it on. We paid for the entire dress in March 2018, over $1200 upfront, for a wedding to be held in October 2019. As the time grew nearer, we began to inquire about our order. The short story is THE WEDDING DRESS NEVER ARRIVED and most likely never was ordered. The owner, Andrea Stallman was incredibly deceitful to my daughter & I about the whereabouts of the dress order many times. We were told it was still being made, it was stuck at the distributor in Tennessee, and then she said we would have to work with another bridal shop, as she was going out of business. No attempt on her part to resolve. She never set 2nd bridal shop up for us and never offered a refund for her transaction FAILURE. She did not give 2 sh*ts about her customers. We needed to find the dress again at another dress shop and paid for the exact dress a second time. I am not holding my breath to get a refund. Did anyone else get taken by Andrea? You can email me and make this right Andrea, egiap@aol.com. I thought I would support local acquaintance and chose wrong.

    I found Simply I Do to be pleasant and easy to shop. We went on a Monday and if you know Cedar…read moreFalls at all, a Monday was q-u-i-e-t. Which was great, easy to pop right in and we had the store to ourselves. They had a pretty large selection for a small shop and were happy to let us browse and pick what we liked. My best friend helped me in and out of dresses so I actually had very little interaction with the girl minding the shop. She was kind and reasonably helpful -- I felt like maybe she was not as knowledgable as some bridal store employees. She didn't speak up much. But she also did not pressure me into a sale, so that's good. All in all, pretty nice and easy. Better than I was hoping for CF!

Our consultant was so gracious and supportive, she made a very nervous bride-to-be feel immediately comfortable and able to enjoy this moment. After the first couple try-ons she knew my granddaughter's style and found the most beautiful dresses and then she found the one that made us all cry. Thank you Brides and Weddings for the wonderful memory we will have of the day my granddaughter found her dress !!

I came into the appointment still very much open to finding a dress after already having one great appointment prior to coming here. The saleswoman I was placed with was very cold and made the comment "You probably won't find your dress here" after showing her pics of what I liked within 5 minutes of being there. Throughout the appointment she was putting a big emphasis on certain things that may or may not fit me (I am considered "plus size" in many places) with a negative tone. She also made the comment that the dress I had tried on was about 10 sizes too small for me. I felt very judged and had to hold back tears at one point. I know what I look like, but I felt very defeated leaving the appointment. Their sizes on the floor did not feel as inclusive as I have seen most other places. Overall pretty disappointed I drove an hour to feel judged and the opposite of how a bride should feel when trying on dresses, no matter their size/shape.

    This morning, I had an incredible experience at Brides by Jessa! It was my very first time looking…read morefor and trying on wedding dresses, and I felt so celebrated and cared for as a customer. Miriam spent about 2 hours and 20 minutes with us, and I probably tried on about 6 or 7 dresses in total. She was very helpful in talking me through what kinds of dresses I thought I liked, and allowed me to not feel too narrowed into one "style" or shape, which I appreciated. She made genuine comments about how a dress flattered and accentuated my body, she never made me feel 'bad' about my body or size. She asked questions about my fiancée and discussed how she wants her brides to feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and that during the dress shopping experience, to consider how you hope to feel on your wedding day. It was a really great experience! I am an LGBTQ bride and so it feels very important to me that my vendors (?), or folks involved in the wedding are affirming and supportive, and I definitely felt that with Miriam! We also had a good conversation about how getting more options for plus size dresses is an area of interest for the shop, and how pleased I was with the selection they did have. I tried on dresses from size 16-22, I believe. I wear a size 18 in Old Navy jeans, if that helps...! I have not decided on a dress yet, but I will definitely be making a follow up appointment with Brides by Jessa to continue my search.
