    Amazing Experience!

    I went to Elite Bridal in Champaign for the first time last year. I was not planning on purchasing a dress, just trying on to see what was a good fit. The consultants and manager were so accommodating and friendly. They even took my 2 year old daughter to play and kept her occupied while my mother and I searched for dresses. Everyone there was willing to go above and beyond to find my perfect dress, and we did! I bought the Pronovias Dracma gown. I had it in no time. Shipping was fast and the dress is perfect. I also purchased my bridesmaids dresses there. They made sure even with different styles they all had the correct color and lace. Thank you so much Elite Bridal for helping make my big day great!

    Start here when dress shopping!

    I could not have asked for a better dress shopping experience at Elite. Not only did Rose help us find a variety of dresses from different designers for me to try on, but also pulled accessories to go with the dresses I liked. I was very happy and confident with the dress I picked, and it came in earlier than expected! I had the same excellent service when shopping for a veil to go with it. As an Elite Bride, I also got a $100 accessory credit, as well as discounted steaming the week of the wedding. You also get discounts on other Elite services! I went to multiple shops when looking for my wedding dress, and Elite was the absolute best.

    Elite Bridal's reply:

    Thank you so much Hannah!! We had a pleasure working with you and your party and we hope for only the happiest of futures for you and your new husband! :D

    Best Day Ever 5.26.2019

    I can't even begin to describe my wedding dress experience at Elite Bridal. The whole team made my dress shopping amazing. They were accommodating to all of my needs and when it came to time to say Yes to the Dress there was no hesitation. I felt like a princess throughout my entire appointment. Whenever I called the store they were always willing to help and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I can't thank you all enough for making my wedding dress shopping one that I will never forget.

    A great variety of dresses and prices! I bought my Martina Liana wedding dress here and could not be happier. I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day! Elite Bridal was a pleasure to work with and made me feel so special while shopping for the perfect dress. Highly recommend!

    Elite Bridal staff made me feel like a Queen the day I picked out my dress. Even more importantly they helped me customize a gorgeous Martina Liana to cover everything I wanted and more. They even went out of their way to ship me my dress and accessories since I live in Florida. This was a wonderful experience. I received hundreds of compliments on my dress on my wedding day and it made me feel like a bride but also like me!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Beth and Kayla were the consultants that worked with my fiancé and me and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. We both wanted to try on our dresses during the same appointment for our friends and family, but not see each other! They had us on the Main Stage and we took turns coming out to show everyone the dresses. They made our experience amazing from the very moment we walked in and helped us both find the dresses of our dreams, within budget! They are so nice and attentive and really try to help find the perfect dress for you! We are so thankful we chose to start our dress shopping at Elite, and we will definitely be recommending them to all of our friends!

    I had a wonderful experience with Elite Bridal. They were friendly and helpful at every appointment I went to, and I found a gorgeous Stella York ballgown that I cannot wait to wear. I also ordered twinkle tulle to have my alterer add to my dress. Thank you Elite Bridal!

    Elite Bridal was so understanding when it came to the chaos of trying to get our wedding party outifts ordered. When it came to picking out my dress, they were wonderful! They actually allowed us to come back after going to browse another shop that wasn't as friendly.

    I wanted to go during their Stella York trunk show in August and had scheduled an appointment for the Sunday of that weekend, well in advance. They called me about 2 weeks prior to the appointment asking me to change my appointment to Friday or Saturday because the dresses would no longer be there on Sunday. I was so happy they had put a note or something on my appointment that I wanted to be there for that trunk show. Due to other limitations of the weekend, they offered to stay open late or open early to ensure my mom and I could make while they had the dresses. I was so happy with the flexibility they were willing to do to make my appointment work! Luckily, they didn't need to make special arrangements, we found a time that worked for all of us. As soon as we started shopping, they really made the appointment special. Once Kayla could see my vision, she picked out multiple dresses for me to try on. I ended up going with one she chose. She also came up with ideas for alterations to make it my perfect dress!! I cannot wait for my dress to come in!

    Amazing selection of dresses!!!!! They have an excellent staff that went above and beyond for me. Not only did they help me pick out the perfect dress, they helped me make it my own, one of a kind, SAY YES TO THE DRESS, dress! I highly recommend elite bridal not only for your bridal gown but it is also a one stop shop for you wedding needs.

    I have no complaints. I traveled an hour and a half to go to Elite because they had the dress I wanted to try on. I got that dress, and I also got a great experience with it. Everyone there is so nice and makes you feel special.

    Danielle at Elite Bridal was quick to respond via e-mail to my initial questions and easily booked me an appointment to try and dresses.

    During my appointment I never felt any pressure to move fast or to purchase a dress. However, Mervet found the perfect dress for me and I can't wait to wear it in March!

    Customer service here is divine! They make you feel like a princess, and they treat your whole wedding group like they are important, as well. This place is the only place I would go for my dress, accessories, and everything else! The trolley was the perfect touch for the big day, and I am so thankful we chose them to be a part of our big day! Thanks for an incredible experience, Elite!

    After shopping at two other bridal stores in the area that day, Elite was my last shot. I had found a gown at a different store that I was pretty set on, but never had that 'THIS IS MY DRESS' feel. I walked into my appointment, picked out a few dresses with the help of my bridal party, and got to trying on. The dressing rooms were huge, and I had privacy but also help when needed. I loved the huge mirrors and 'stage' when I came out to show my bridal party. I immediately knew when I found the dress for me. I felt like a true princess with the help of Elite, finding just the right accessories to go with it. Very professional and I would highly recommend Elite!!

    I was a little disappointed when I first walked in, thinking it was a smaller store than I anticipated and thus the selection wouldn't be as good as a place like David's Bridal or something - but I couldn't have been happier with this place! Their stuff, though somewhat more limited in quantity, far surpassed other stores in way of quality. The dresses there are absolutely beautiful, the service was top-notch, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were able to put together a dress/jacket combination that gave me absolutely everything I was looking for in a dress! Not only that, but a few days after purchasing the gown I received a hand-written thank you note from the girl who helped me, wishing me the best for my wedding and offering further assistance should I have any need of it. I cannot recommend this store highly enough!

    I found my absolute dream dress with the help of the wonderful staff at Elite Bridal. My appointment was a VIP appointment so the store was closed to everyone except me and my group of bridesmaids, mom, and soon to be mother in law. Elite picked us up in a limo and had champagne and appetizers waiting for us at the store.

    The main salesperson I worked with was Mervet. She was so attentive and took the effort to get to know my bridal style. She was a huge help in working with me to eliminate dresses to find "The One." I couldn't image finding my dress anywhere else. I also ordered bridesmaid dresses from them as well!

    We started the experience with a VIP appointment at the store, which was amazing. They had snacks, wine, and the night was so fun for my family and friends. I not only got my dress from Elite, but the bridesmaids dresses, tuxes, and ring bearer outfits as well. They all turned out so great!! Lauren and Danielle helped every step of the way! They were awesome and so accomodating, always working around my schedule and being there every step of the way with reccomendations, reminders, etc.!! I have had a million comments on the dress and all the outfits together, and how well everything looked. My expereince from Elite was better than amazing! I would reccomend them to all future brides! :)

    Elite Bridal is every brides dream salon! As soon as we walked in I knew it was going to be such a fun day! Our consultant, Jenn, was so sweet and really listened to my budget and what I wanted in a dress! I had been all over central Illinois looking for a dress, and the first one I put on at Elite I KNEW it was mine! I would recommend Elite to any bride! It was such a fun day and I felt no pressure to buy it, and no rise to take it off! She helped me find accessories and a veil too and really took the time to stay in my budget and help me look beautiful!
