Still on Cloud 9 from my experience at Elle James!! Sarah, and her team, are an absolute dream to work with. I didn't expect much from this day, as I kind of dreaded dress shopping. However, Sarah literally made this day to be exactly what everyone dreams of and talks about. She listened to everything I had to say about each and every dress I tried on, and pieced it all together to find the absolute perfect dress. One that fit all my "no's" at the start, but ended up being perfect for me. She pushed me out of my comfort zone, with regard to things I'd liked along the way, and I couldn't be more thankful. Their process, communication, attention to detail, knowledge of their product and willingness to listen to your wants and needs is absolutely top notch. I could not say enough good things about them, and I can't wait to see them again soon for my fittings!
I cannot explain how incredible finding my dream dress at Elle James was! I was so nervous leading up to my appointment, but the moment I walked in and was greeted I immediately felt at home and truly had the most incredible day. Every single lady at Elle James is phenomenal and I wish I could re-live that day over and over again! THANK YOU Elle James for everything!

After going to a different shop that morning, I felt defeated and wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Then I went to my appointment at Elle James. Laura was my consultant and working with her was amazing. She pulled some beautiful dresses and helped me piece together the dress of my dreams. I am so grateful for her and everyone at Elle James. I also was lucky enough to win a free Little White Dress and have enough time in my appointment to pick not only one Little White Dress, but two. And Laura helped me make the right decision on those dresses as well. I just cannot say enough about this shop and the staff working there. The shop itself is so beautiful and aesthetic, but it felt as though we had the whole shop to ourselves. The array of designers they had were amazing and the different accessory options they had available were amazing and Laura did a beautiful job of helping pick the right ones. We took a beautiful dress and made it MY DRESS, that feels one of a kind. I truly cannot say enough about this experience. 100/10 recommend for all of your wedding dress needs.

BEST PLACE EVER. Only placed I looked, and I would highly recommend this being the first place everyone goes! I was so incredibly nervous going into it, but after putting on the first dress (the one I ended up choosing!) I felt so calm and excited. Kristen and Elizabeth work so hard to make it the most perfect experience. Even my bridesmaids and family has the BEST time. They are so patient and cater to every detail to ensure that the dress you choose is the perfect one for you. I didn't even want to go look anywhere else because nothing could beat how special that day was. Getting to be only one in there with your friends and family is such a personal and special experience. If you are a bride-to-be and are looking for your dress, run do not walk to Elle James. It'll be the best day!

I loved my experience at Elle James! I felt right at home and completely trusted them with my dress vision and they met every expectation. There were many dresses I loved, but the first dress I tried on was exactly what I've always pictured I would want! The staff immediately becomes your friend and handles your time there professionally with no rush or pressure.

My mother, bridesmaids, and I had the best, most stress-free experience at Elle James! We felt so comfortable from the moment we walked in. Kristin was so sweet and helped me find my absolute dream dress and accessories! We had an absolute blast, and I wish we could go back and do it all again!

I will remember the day I found my dress at Elle James for the rest of my life. It could not have been more perfect! Kristin and her staff go above and beyond for their brides and to ensure your day feels incredibly special. She was so patient with me (especially since I had no idea what style I wanted), and she helped me figure out what I liked best for my body type. I am SO, SO happy about my dress and cannot wait to wear it!

I wanted to find my dress outside of Mississippi because I wanted something different than what everyone else had. I tried on dresses in Nashville and had an appointment in Arkansas and New York. But as soon as I stepped into Elle James I knew that was the day to find my dress. I absolutely loved my consultant Ali !! She was amazing and made me feel so great in my dress. I could not be more thankful for the experience with my mom, fiancé’s mom, and my family friend! I’m so glad to have found my dress at my local dress store!

This was the first and only dress shop I visited! I could not have asked for a better experience. Kristin was literally the best! She made everything so magical. I went back and forth on 2 dresses multiple times and she was more than willing to let me continue to try them on until I had my moment and knew I had the one!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Elle James to any bride.

This was my very first bridal appointment, and Elle James set the standards high! From the moment I walked in the door with my mom and my girls, I instantly felt like the princess of the appointment. The owner wanted to know about my fiancé and details of my wedding, and it was so exciting to share all of my dreams with her. I tried on THE dress at Elle James, went to my two other appointments, and within an hour I was back at Elle James saying 'Yes to the Dress!' The perfect day...all thanks to Elle James! - Jessie J
Ever since I attended a friend’s appointment at Elle James, I knew this would be the place I found my dress and I did! Kristin offers the best customer service with an intimate shopping experience. Kristin used my vision for my bridal style and my everyday style to help me pick the perfectly unexpected dress. You will not regret taking the time to try on her beautiful selection of dresses and I would be surprised if you walked out without one! - Michaela C
This was the first and only place I visited while wedding dress shopping. We had other appointments lined up but ended up canceling after finding the dress here first. It was easy - the customer service and private attention was so outstanding. It made the wedding dress shopping experience so fun - in fact it is my favorite wedding planning memory! - Sara Beth S
