So let me just save the dresses on the side are absolutely beautiful. But in person they look even better if that's possible. I called Lauren Elaine to get an appointment to get a custom dress. Right away I felt heard and understood and comfortable. The person I spoke with was Adam. I don't even know where to start with him. He is absolutely amazing! He did a few questions over the phone before my actual consult. I sent him the name of some of the dresses on the site that I liked. I let him know that I was looking for a dress that would show my curves and that was Mermaid style. I wanted to be extra and bougie. And when I first showed up he was super friendly he made me feel like I've known him forever. Which made the process so much better. Him and his assistant were very helpful. He helped me choose the patter, style/lace and he help me choose some dresses that I didn't even think about trying. I ended up going with them right away I knew that was the place for me. And they kept in contact during the whole process. And I went on their site and kept looking at their dresses and I saw some sleeves that were on the model that I absolutely had to have. I called Adam right away and he said of course we could do it for you. He knew that I wanted to be a little extra lol so he showed me the cathedral veil that would match my dress and of course I had to go with it. It felt like I was working with a friend the whole time. They were very quick and efficient. You have to understand that a custom dress isn't easy. And not only that I Took my mom through the process and she absolutely loved adam as well! The seamstress was a sweetheart. I can certainly go on and on about my experience there. But to keep it short and sweet I would recommend getting a custom dress there 100% it's definitely worth the money. From the first day to the day I picked it up I was 100% satisfied. I got nothing but compliments on my dress my whole wedding day. It was the dress of my dreams! Thank you to The team for making it happen! I will be sending more pictures as soon as my legit pictures come out. read more

My mother and I attended this bridal trunk show at The Phoenician in Scottsdale Arizona, expecting the elegant, high-end experience we had been promised. We were told it would take place in a grand ballroom at a resort we know well and frequently visit for golf. Instead, there was no one to greet us, no visible signage, and even the hotel staff had no idea what trunk show we were referring to. After searching for the correct location, we arrived and waited until more than ten minutes past our scheduled appointment before our point of contact, Adam, finally appeared and said they needed additional time because they were still with another bride. When we were eventually brought inside, the so-called "bridal suite" was a basic conference room filled with dresses. There was only one inexpensive-looking full-length mirror, along with an unstable, worn navy pedestal that did not feel safe or appropriate for trying on luxury wedding gowns. The changing area was a cramped, storage-like room with no mirror and barely enough space for the large dresses or the assistant helping me. It made the fitting unnecessarily awkward and uncomfortable. The gowns were never properly fitted or clamped to my body. At one point, Adam simply held a dress against me while asking what I thought. Even worse, he repeatedly stood directly in front of the only mirror, preventing me from seeing myself in the gowns I was supposedly there to consider purchasing. His attitude was dismissive and insulting throughout the appointment. While looking at me with his hand over his mouth, he said, "I'm not getting anything from you." When I explained that I simply wanted to try on a wedding dress and feel beautiful, he responded, "You're not going to try on a dress and feel tingly." Isn't that exactly why many brides attend a trunk show--to experience the excitement of possibly finding their wedding dress? He also told me that I might need to try on 100 dresses and suggested that perhaps I "wasn't a designer bride." That comment was especially condescending. My mother and I have spent my entire life around high-end interior design, textiles, and luxury materials. We understand quality, and the gowns we were shown did not look or feel consistent with the luxury image being sold. Several appeared worn, poorly maintained, and improperly presented. Adam's overall presentation was also noticeably disheveled and not what I would expect from someone representing a high-end bridal designer. Because bridal fittings require close physical interaction, the noticeable odor of his breath made an already uncomfortable experience even more unpleasant. We arrived excited and genuinely interested in seeing these gowns. We left feeling insulted, uncomfortable, and desperate to get out of the room. My mother sensed almost immediately that something was wrong, and she was correct. What was advertised as a luxury bridal trunk show at The Phoenician became a disorganized and deeply disappointing experience. A bridal appointment should make a woman feel comfortable, celebrated, and beautiful--especially when a company is presenting itself as a luxury designer. This experience accomplished the exact opposite. I would never recommend this designer, these gowns, or an appointment with Adam to another bride. read more

Adam is the best! I love my wedding dress and the service. I really recommend visiting this designer read more

Save your time, get all communication in writing because Adam will tell you one thing then in text say "I never guaranteed that " or "I never said that". Once they have your money they don't care. They will still do things in THEIR TIME. Try anywhere else before deciding to go to them for a custom dress. I will never understand why they ask for exact measurements and not make the dress accordingly being a custom gown. Thou it is written in the agreement , Adam will tell you they will always make the dress bigger it just doesn't make sense being a custom gown why it will still be bigger. My gown was bigger but the worst part was they made the cups too small, a size I never was so the cups had to be replaced. And he shipped ground instead of next day he should have specified knowing I was moving and on a time crunch, horrible communication. Worst experience of my life they are supposedly there to make it so much easier for the brides but ended up making it super stressful. For the price you will pay the stress is not worth it read more

I initially went to several bridal salons with my fiance to search for my wedding dress and was disappointed with what I found. I came across Lauren Elaine on Instagram and was immediately impressed with the beauty, quality and unique look that this bridal salon had. After visiting several bridal salons I was super unimpressed with all the dresses. Everything looked a little too basic and too simple for me. My thoughts were this is my wedding day, my once in a lifetime moment and I want to look spectacular! After submitting online inquiry Adam reached out to me and I scheduled an appointment. It was such a lovely personable experience. My time slot was booked and Adam was able to give me his full attention and time. We were greeted with champagne and started trying on gowns based on what I told him what were my likes and dislikes. Adam is so fun, understanding and pleasurable to work with ! He listened to what my fiance ( yes my fiance helped designed my dress) and me wanted and helped us put together the perfect dress for me. This shop is custom design, not custom size... so you will need to have alterations (if needed) and alterations are done elsewhere as they only design your dress. It was so worth the money and the time. I enjoyed so much the experience of it! See photos :) read more

I had an amazing experience working with Adam and the team at Lauren Elaine Bridal Salon! I actually discovered them through an Instagram ad, and after they followed up with me, the process was seamless from start to finish. In fact, it was the first--and only--shop I visited, and I ended up choosing the very first dress I tried on! This wouldn't have been possible without the team's dedication to understanding my vision and goals before my appointment (though to be fair, I had looked at a lot of dresses online from various vendors beforehand). They were also incredibly accommodating with my busy schedule, which I really appreciated. Plus, I felt the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the dresses. I highly recommend Lauren Elaine Bridal! read more

Hi my name is Vanessa, I'm a mother of 3, currently planning the final details of my wedding, and a nursing student. I have had the worst experience and I want to warn other brides. When planning your wedding the last thing a bride needs is stress. So I will be as detailed as possible with my experience. I flew to LA for my Lux appointment and fell in love with the gowns, Adam was pleasant to meet but he does not value costumer satisfaction. You can be the judge for yourself. My measurements were taken by Adams assistant and they were incorrect I'm a size xs and my waist was documented as 37 inches when It's actually 25 inches. I caught this mistake and called Adam. That was just the beginning of my nightmare. Continue reading for the rest. Scroll down for pictures. Hello Adam, I've put off writing this email describing how disappointed I am with Lauren Elaine. But today after the 'Detachable Pearl Strand' arrived broken I decided it was appropriate. On my lux appointment you stated that my gown would need minor to no alterations which is what puts Lauren Elaine above other bridal shops. My experience has been anything but pleasant it started with your professional measurements being completely off. I double checked my measurements to find that I was indeed correct, your assistant had gotten my measurements wrong. The dress finally arrived and it was left outside of my house without being authorized with a signature, a 3000 gown sat on my porch until I returned home in the evening the thought of it being taken from my porch was mortifying. When I tried my gown on I was devastated it was huge, my dream gown was not fitted to my measurements. I needed $500 of alterations. I remembered the pride you took as you told me "it would need little to no alterations". I should have asked you to define little, because $500 is by no means little in my opinion. I opened the envelope at the alterations shop the pearls slid right off of the tread, it was clearly poorly made. My dream dress has been a disaster and I have been hesitant to complain or leave a review. But after receiving the detachable pearl Strand' falling apart at the moment of opening it, at this point I'd like a refund on my alterations and a professional strudy detachable Strand' re-sent express. My experience unfortunately has been anything but professional, I say unfortunate because you were pleasant to meet other than that I'm left with regret. The box was left outside carelessly near the gate where it could have been reached by passer Byers which has happened in the past, I've had packages stolen that were left near the gate within reach. The pearl strand arrived on the day I was to meet my alternations lady, weirdly there is proof it arrived broken because it was opened in her shop on her checkout counter where she has a camera above head overlooking her cash register. We opened the envelope carefully and inside there were single pearls rolling about freely. It really added insult to the whole experience. I just want to move on from this and come to love my dress again. After all the alterations, she still has my dress and is going to take one more inch off of the bottom because I am tripping on it. I don't know what else to say and I don't think I would recommend Lauren Elaine to any of my friends at this point. Adam's reply in a nut shell: Hi Vanessa-   Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to my attention!  I'm very sorry to learn of this.   I am truly sorry to hear how upset you are with your experience with us. I always try to work as hard as I can to make every experience great, and I never want to hear that you are unhappy. While I would love to speak with you by phone to personally discuss your concerns and experience, I completely understand how busy you must be leading up to your wedding and graduation. I am very sorry for your frustration with this process and sincerely hope that you know I wish nothing but the best for you with your upcoming wedding. If there is anything else I can assist with, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Consider yourself warned!!! read more

I had the most incredible experience from start to finish. Adam was fantastic and really captured my vision in my custom gown. His expertise guided my vision and brought it to life. I was uncertain about mixing two types of laces in my dress & in my veil but I trusted his advice & it all came together so beautifully. It was very important that my dress fit my setting & Adam understood the assignment immediately. The whole experience was bespoke & the service was on par with what I would expect from a couture wedding dress atelier. One of my most favorite memories was my initial try on with my family & girlfriends. I had the most fun trying on gorgeous gowns & sipping champagne with my best girls thanks to Adam. I wish I could relive it all over again! If you want a high end experience without the high end prices go here. You will not be disappointed. read more

I cannot recommend Lauren Elaine enough! Their Luxe package was well worth it, especially having a private 2.5 hour experience (with good champaign)! Adam was able to work with me in my budget, he provided styles I previously noted that I like, so I could create my dream dress without breaking the bank. The space itself is very lovely, Adam & his assistant were a pleasure to work with, providing honest & quick answers to all of our questions, all while NOT BEING PUSHY at all when it came to dresses (As some experiences are). They have beautiful dresses, definitely catered to different bride styles, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Adam was very knowledgeable, friendly, and was helpful in breaking down the customization process. LOVE LOVE LOVE, cannot wait to see my finished product! read more

Brides beware!!!! I went to a LE trunk show and Adam basically told me whatever I wanted to hear to get the sale. I was told my dress would be custom to my measurements and I wouldn't need any alterations. I received my dress a month and a half before my wedding and I was horrified when I tried it on and it was HUGE. No where near my measurements and nothing like the dress I fell in love with at the trunk show. It felt like a cheap knock off. I was now in a race to find a seamstress that had the time to fix it as it was also prom season where I live. When I called Adam his lack of customer service was disturbing.. blaming it on me that I should have known I'd need some kind of alterations. Um no sorry I've never bought a wedding dress before and know nothing about them. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. I really wish I would have! read more

When I went to my local bridal salon looking for my dress and thought it would be easy because I already had a vision of what I wanted. I was very disappointed that my experience wasn't what I expected. I couldn't find anything that I fell in love with and was told that I basically didn't have enough time to alter anything since it would take 6+ months to arrive. I didn't want to settle on anything that I wasn't in love with but placed a dress on hold just in case. Then I discovered Lauren Elaine. I was able to get an appointment right away and from start to finish, my experience was absolutely magical and exactly how I would have imagined choosing your wedding dress to be. First of all, the place is cozy, neat, organized, smells great and just overall gives off a warm vibe. I was offered champagne and just felt like a bride. Second, Adam was an absolute gem. He made me feel so special and was just as excited as I was about picking the right dress. He had several styles already picked out for me before I got there and walked me through each design and all the options I had for them. He saved the best for last and I said yes to the dress! The best part, I was able to take an existing design that I loved, and tweak certain things to my liking to essentially custom design my perfect wedding dress. Another plus, since Lauren Elaine gowns are not mass produced, I would have my dress way before my wedding date to give me enough time to make any alterations needed. In comparison to the gowns that I saw at the first bridal salon, I can tell you the quality and craftsmanship on Lauren Elaine gowns are just not on the same level. They are so well made and look so high end. If you are looking for the ultimate bridal experience, I highly recommend a visit! read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING DRESS FROM HERE. From the second I walked into the door, the sales tactics wouldn't stop. Extremely pushy and aggressive. Main attendant said I couldn't buy a dress at their store if I didn't put a deposit that day. He said that the only way for my out of town sister to potentially see the wedding dress was after I pay a deposit. I left when he insisted for the 5th time to pay a deposit that day. read more

I absolutely adored everything about my dress. I felt like a princess on my big day. Adam was amazing. He was so sweet and there throughout the entire process for anything you needed. I had a few glitches with my dress towards the end. I had swarvoski crystal straps added to my dress and what they don't tell you until you receive the dress is the way they are put on their dresses. The straps are made to go around your shoulder and under your armpit. This is extremely uncomfortable, especially with crystals scratching against your skin. This made for extra alterations. I then had to have a seamstress remove the straps and put them in a Normal spot. Lauren elaine had to ship me extra crystals because they do not provide enough length for your straps to be moved. This was all two weeks before my wedding. Thankfully my seamstress worked with me and squeezed me in. You would think this would be something they would let you know when you are designing your dress. My next issue was they ask you to send in your measurements. I did not feel comfortable doing my own measurements so I went in to Lauren elaine to be measured to do my final measurements. When I received my dress, it was still way too big, the top did not fit and the straps were falling off. I don't understand the point of final measurements if they are not going to be used especially when this bridal salon isn't doing fittings and prices themselves on their dresses being fit to your body and your measurements. I was told I most likely should not need to do any alterations after my dress was completed. I saw my seamstress at least 3-4 times. Although I was upset with these issues at the time, I think my dress was absolutely gorgeous and If I were to go back in time I would choose the same dress because of how beautiful I felt. I wouldn't let these issues stop me from purchasing again, I just hope Lauren elaine takes these issues into consideration for future brides read more

Adam was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! best bridal fitting hands down!! If you are looking for a place that listens to your wants and delivers MORE than you expected THIS IS THE PLACE.. everything was perfect , left in happy tears read more

I'm just seeing the other review after my appointment... and i'm so glad I read the other reviews on other bridal websites and decided to give them a chance. I said yes to the dress this weekend! From start to finish, my experience with Adam at Lauren Elaine was amazing. I had previously been to 2 other Bridal salons, and both experiences were very different, in hindsight, not necessarily in a good way. Lauren Elaine was completely different for several reasons: 1) They only book one bride at a time, so you literally have the entire salon and the attention of their staff (in my case Adam) and a nice lady who helped me get in out of dresses. This is such a stress reliever because it's not noisy or crowded. I wasn't uncomfortable when I tried to shimmy in a dress that was too small and my spanx were hanging out the back at one point lol. No one was there but my support crew so it didn't matter. 2) Not sure if this is standard, but I had a two hour block. For both of the places I had been to before I went for sample sales and I felt like I was treated like a clearance customer, no champagne (not that it's the end of the world but I mean my bestie flew into town for this experience and we're thirsty lol). 3) I sometimes get overwhelmed by analysis paralysis (i.e. toooo many options and I can't make a decision), but Adam had me try on several dresses and then would ask me "what I didn't like" instead of what I did like and then he would decide on the next dress from there. They were so patient, not pushy, and definitely not dismissive or "salesy" even during the trunk show. I ended up saying yes to the dress with a custom dress that will basically incorporate elements from 3 different dresses. I love the freedom they give you to make some tweaks to get the dress of your dreams. 4) They are hella affordable for the styles, quality and designs they offer. 5) Just go, give them a chance. Yes, you sign a contract if you say you want to buy a dress and you pay a deposit, but I never felt forced or pressured the entire time. Your deposit is non-refundable, they explain that to you and the contract says it too, but that is customary. You go to a bridal salon knowing you are looking for a wedding dress and if you are unsure then wait, sleep on it, pray on it, whatever you need to do to be at peace, but don't make rash decisions (just my opinion). Anyway, I can't wait to get my dress and will provide an update then. Thank you so much Adam and Lauren Elaine team! read more
