I highly recommend this amazing business! My daughter just found her prom dress here. We’ve visited other stores for school dance dresses, and have always left disappointed and frustrated. This shopping trip was fun and relaxing though. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We were thrilled by their awesome assortment and comfortable environment. So many wonderful options and very high quality. We will definitely be going back and sending potential customers their way!

I got my wedding dress here last year and Cheri was so helpful!! I was an indecisive bride and came in twice. The second time Cheri had ordered in a dress for me to try on that I was convinced I would like better. I ended up saying yes to the original dress I tried on the first time. They were so patient with me and truly wanted me to love the dress I picked! I also bought my veil and hair piece here.

Cheri and her team were amazing! They squeezed me into the schedule at the very last minute and were incredibly helpful, kind, and patient. Their enthusiasm was sincere. The best part—I said yes to the dress!

Everyone at Simply Elegant was so helpful with finding my dream wedding dress! All the employees are so great. Christina was my stylist and she listened and was so supportive throughout the whole process.

My daughter and I recently shopped for her prom dress! We absolutely loved the friendly, attentive staff. Small boutique feel, with beautiful options in all price ranges! Everyone was helpful and kind! We wouldn’t go anywhere else to shop formal again!

My high school daughter and I had our first visit to Simply Elegant last week to shop for a prom dress and were pleasantly surprised by the HUGE inventory and color/style/size selections. There’s something there for everyone! The staff was very helpful and attentive despite the volume of customers! The fitting rooms were large, making it easy for me to be in the room to assist in getting dresses on and off quickly! We found the perfect dress snd highly recommend Simply Elegant by Cheri! We’ll be back for Homecoming next year!

What an amazing experience shopping for a wedding dress for my daughter! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome by the entire staff. Cheri and her team were very attentive to every person in there on a busy Saturday. They listened to what my daughter liked and made suggestions. Our stylist Tina was amazing - she made my daughter feel comfortable and listened to her and made suggestions based on what she was saying. After she found the dress they helped her complete the look with a perfect vail as well.If you want a stress free wedding dress shopping experience- this is the place to go. The owner Cheri is wonderful and you can tell she truly is passionate about her business and cares about her customers!Definitely worth the drive from Springfield! Thank you for making my bride feel special! 💕

We were here from North Carolina visiting family and decided to "browse" for a dress for my daughter's winter ball. We did not have an appointment, but were invited to look around and try on many dresses. Izzy was a wonderful help to my daughter in finding a perfect dress for the theme. All of the ladies were so helpful and kind and went out of their way to help my daughter. We love that we were able to "shop local" and support a small business. Now to just get this dress back home 900 miles from here!

SE is the perfect place to find your dream dress! I went for their sample sale this weekend and found mine for $99! Hannah was amazing to work with and the owner personally thanked me for coming in. Highly recommended if you are in the market for a prom dress or wedding gown.

Amazing service! I called after a bad appt at another salon and they were able to squeeze us in. We did not feel like a squeeze in appt. I would highly recommend to all brides.

I highly recommend going here to find any dress you need. I bought my wedding dress from here and Cheri and her staff is the sweetest and most thoughtful group of ladies you will ever work with. They make you feel special when you are looking for your dress. Also they are willing to work with you on payments. I am so glad that I went here to get my dream dress.

I had the best experience as a bride I could have asked for. The dress was in the wrong place and cheri made it work for the budget! The beautiful woman whom helped me and literally gave me the advise a woman like me needed in the dressing room and outside of helped so much. I would pick this place over and over.

I bought my Couture wedding dress in January 2022 for my September 2022 wedding. I had plans of going to three more shops within the weekend to try on every style of dress. I had an image of what I wanted, just like every little girl dreams.Walking into the shop I was greeted by the sweetest team and a floppy eared lab. My family knew I was in heaven! I had my own stylist whom, gave me several clips to choose dresses I wanted to try on. After dwindling down my choices I had my last dress. I’ve been waiting for this one. I was already in love with the lace, I had to see it on. I was told it is an off the rack dress. Meaning it comes as is. They can’t order anymore lace if I needed alterations or a matching veil. I walk out, and get THAT feeling. I never believed in “THE” dress, just beautiful dresses but it was mine. It fit perfect! The beautiful train, the color, the lace, everything. It was what I saw for myself. I was ecstatic that one more thing was marked off my list. I scheduled my dress shopping early in the year because Covid was ending around this time. Ordering dresses I’ve heard was taking several months. Because the dress was off the rack the team explained I was able to take it home that day. The day could not have been more perfect! Thank you Simply Elegant by Cheri for making me feel like the most beautiful Bride.

I had such a wonderful experience at SE by Cheri! Hannah & Cheri were both so so wonderful to work with & were so on top of trying to find what I was looking for! I would recommend going here whether you are looking for wedding or prom, they are absolutely amazing! I just want to thank Cheri & Hannah again for the great experience. Thank you so much!

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BRIDAL SHOP!!!If I could give 100 stars I would! From the moment I walked in I felt a warm welcome and so comfortable. There are several viewing areas for each bride so no matter what size your party they will be able to enjoy comfortably! You get to pick out each dress you'd like to try on and then some! Each lady that works there knows the dresses. And when I say they know them - they know each dress and make the best recommendations based off of your likings. Their selection is top notch and includes the top designers and brand new releases! They also have snacks and drinks to make your stay that much more enjoyable. Huge shout out to Izzy for being a bomb consultant. Skip the bridal chains and intimate "upscale" boutiques and visit Cheri's - you will NOT regret it!!!

We could not have been happier with our wedding dress shopping experience with Cheri at Simply Elegant. My daughter is getting married in August and the day we chose to go dress shopping was also her birthday. Cheri offered to make the day extra special by surprising my daughter with a birthday cake and amazing snacks. She made everything wonderful for my daughters big day. Along with having so much fun, we found the most gorgeous dress. I cannot say enough how much I recommend this bridal shop. We had the best experience thanks to Morgan and Cheri.
