NOT HAPPY!

I tried on a dress in the shop and it fit perfectly around the upper waist. The staff member said that she would order the size that I tried on and the only things that will need to be altered would be the shoulders and the hem of the dress. When the new dress came in it took 2 people to zipper the dress. SO, they said that it would have to altered around the upper waist. (Makes no sense, it should have fit the same as the dress I tried on). A different staff member told me that the dresses in the shop tend to get stretched out with all of the people that try them on so that is why the dress fit that I had tried on. The alterations were OUTRAGEOUS, PLUS....it was $30.00 more to have Bridal Connections steam the wrinkles out of it!! After purchasing a dress that was approximately $250.00 the steaming should be COMPLIMENTARY!!



Instead I looked up a local person that does alterations. She is wonderful and she STEAMS the dress after if is altered and does NOT charge extra. I told her what I was told about the dress at the shop getting stretched out and she told me that they do not know what they are talking about....chiffon does NOT stretch and my dress is chiffon!



Before purchasing anything at Bridal Connections ask ALOT of questions! All of the Bridal stores that I called stated that the steaming is complimentary! The cost of the alterations done by the person I took my dress to was reasonable and I would recommend her to anyone!!

Terrible!!!!

Alterations are over priced and not one staff member knows what they are doing. The owners could care less about the bride. It's all about the $$$. They will give you a millions excuses if they mess something up. What makes you qualified to run a bridal store? I'd like to see some proof of customer service experience. DON'T GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!

My consultant was great! She was very helpful and she helped me find my perfect gown. I just want to thank the Bridal Connection so much for helping me with my bridal gown shopping experience and making it an experience that I will not ever forget. I want to recommend the Bridal Connection to any and all brides. I love that they have The Connection just next door to help me with tuxes and my bridesmaids dresses. The Bridal Connection just made my experience stress free and as easy as I could imagine.

My experience at the Bridal Connection was amazing! The staff made me, my family, and my bridesmaids feel very welcomed. I didn't know what to expect because this was my first time wedding dress shopping and I was very nervous because my weight had been fluctuating in the past year. My consultant made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in every dress that she put me in. It was very hard to pick just one! In the end I picked the perfect dress and I looked amazing on my wedding day thanks to The Bridal Connection.

SO FUN! I was honestly expecting to be a little overwhelmed when I went there to look for my prom dress. but I had such a fun time! the staff was not pushy at all and i had such a fun time trying on dresses! i was not limited in my selection and i could try on as many as i wanted! i made two of my best friends go there to pick out their dress just so i could come again :) definately reccommend this place!

I went to The Bridal Connection for my whole wedding party, myself, bridesmaids, tuxes, and flower girls dresses, etc. I had the BEST experiance there! My dress came in sooner then expected! My bridesmaids' ordered all different colors, and different lengths, and The Bridal Connection recieved them ALL CORRECT, I couldn't believe it! We needed some alterations, which we were told should be expected, so there were no suprises. The Seamstress knew exactly what she was doing, and gave me even more confidence in the store and her ability to get my gown exactly the right fit. The Tuxes were one of the easiest part of our wedding, Melissa knew what we were wanting and received the right tuxes about a week from our wedding date.

WOW, what a GREAT bridal experience at The Bridal Connection. I got married in November with the help from The Bridal Connection. I actually bought my gown last spring at The Bridal Connection. Every time I went to the boutique they I was treated like a Queen! I really mean this in every aspect of the word. Everything from my gown, bridesmaids and tuxedos went GREAT. We also booked my honeymoon with Dan and it truly was the most romantic honeymoon I could have ever expected. The resort was a perfict fit for our personality. The price with Dan was less than I found any where online by $623.00. He even requested a free room upgrade without our knowledge so when we arrived at the resort we had a wonderful surprise-, oceanfront room at no extra cost!! WOW thats service! He didn't even charge us a dime to book the trip for us. Free agent advice, Free room upgrade at no charge! We loved it! When our anniversary arrives we will see Dan for that trip too! Love The Bridal Connection,Jen

Personal Service Excellent

Since ordering my gown in October of last year, I have had nothing but the best service from this store. My mom and me went to quite a few stores around Iowa, but the Bridal Connction has always treated me as a very special person and called me about my appointments and always greeted me with a smile when I came in. My wedding was a huge success, even after the wedding the owner called and asked how everything went. - Angel B.

Slowest Service Ever

Their card states 'Rush weddings welcome.' I would not agree. I went in two months prior to my wedding to order my bridemaids dresses and would told there would not be a problem ordering the styles we wanted.



Two weeks later I get a call advising that the dresses would not be in on time, due the entire country of China being off for Chinese New Year. Outrageous.



After I went out and purchased fabric so my future husband and I could make the dresses ourselves, they called and stated they would get the dresses two weeks prior to my big day. Not ideal, but better.



The two weeks prior came and went and we actually did not get the dresses until the Monday before the wedding. Luckily only one dress needed altering or it really would have caused problems.



Then, after all this, they sold they veil they promised they would hold for me and charged me to steam my dress.



Although we did come in on short notice, there were still many places for good customer service that were overlooked.



If you do choose this shop, please be forewarned to give yourself plenty of time. Rush weddings are clearly not welcome here.

As owners of The Bridal Connection, my wife and I certainly welcome all brides and their party to the store. Obviously last minute weddings are more challenging then those planned well in advance, but regardless, we will continue to do our utmost in helping the bride within the parameters we are able and within reason. In this particular case the Chinese New Year was outside of our control, and having just opened in January the designers didn't make us aware of this fact. Unfortunately, this justifiablly caused angst for this bride. We understand and apologize to her and in doing so absorbed the express shipping fees to rush this order. We have and will continue to work with brides planning their special day on short notice. Although the majority of our brides are very satisfied with our product and service, we want all our brides to know they are #1 with us and don't want anyone dissatisfied.
