Enelda’s Happy Brides

I had a wonderful experience here. My best friend is getting married on the 27^th of this month. Enelda’s Happy Brides helped us getting everything together even at the last minute and gave me a great deal on my maid of honor dress! Wonderful place to get a formal dress from for any event!

What an amazing day we had with the wonderful ladies at Enelda’s. They couldn’t be more helpful nor happy for us when we found our dresses. We bought mine, Mother of the Bride, and my daughters wedding dress. I’m so happy that we took a last minute trip there. I highly recommend them.

I would recommend this bridal shop. They were very helpful. I am the Mother of the groom and when I went to look for a gown I thought I knew what I wanted. The owner had me try on a dress that I would never have tried. I fell in love with the gown. At my sons wedding I received more compliments then I could he imagined. If I ever need another formal dress I Would go there.

Please, do yourself a favor and stay away from this store.
Almost every aspect of the dress buying process here was a nightmare. Against my better judgement I used this shop because they were the only store I could find that carried the dress I wanted, which happened to be more than 3 seasons old…
Dress/​Tailoring
They ordered the dress too small (I tried on a size 12 off the rack, and it fit perfectly (aside from length). Why order a size 10?, Then they did all they could to NOT alter it properly (eg, excuses, adding corsetry, etc). She insisted that «I would lose weight» because I am a bride! Adding all of the corsetry and then trying to tailor a size 10 dress to a size 12 body made for a very ill fitting dress.
Please don’t think I didn’t speak up– I asked for changes, but they fought me! They assured me that with all of the tweaks they were adding it would be fine.
On the day of my wedding my dress looked and FELT horrible! Too tight, my train dragged on the ground when bustled, the neckline was not correct; it just didn’t fall the way it should have. In all of my wedding pictures my dress has a noticeable crease/​fold going across my stomach where the dress was poorly altered. It was such a beautiful Pronovias dress, it is a terrible shame. And it was my one chance, I don’t get a redo – I am so angry that I have to live with these pictures of this horrible dress for the rest of my life.
The dress was very overpriced, the tailoring was shoddy, and the customer service was poor.
Shop
The shop is not the model of a well appointed, well taken care of bridal boutique. It is very crammed, over stocked with gaudy cocktail gowns, and musty. The fitting rooms are need in serious updating/​repair. The stock is not very extensive and their styles are outdated. The entire time I was at my appointments I could hear nothing but dogs barking from next door.
Customer Service
Horrible. Appointments are a nightmare, waiting is a problem, there is not enough room in the store for 4 people. They do not let you know details of your dress or take pictures in dresses to compare (presumably so you don’t go elsewhere to find the dress). How are you supposed to objectively pick a dress if you can’t see pictures of yourself in it?
I wish I had gone to Sew & Sew Bridals… the customer service there was SO MUCH better. Only at the time they did not carry Pronovias (I’m not certain if they do now).

I went in to look for a bridal gown on Saturday and had an absolutely horrible experience. The store was a mess, disorganized and noisy. The women working did not pay attention and I had to ask 4 times for the name of the designer of a dress and she had to ‘look it up in the computer.’ Also, they do not allow you to take pictures in the dresses. Definitely will never go back and hope you spare yourself the trouble.

I had my wedding dress and alterations done at Eneldas. I was looking for something with a vintage feel and had been looking at alternative dresses in a boutique in NYC and anthopologie’s wedding line. I gave Enelda’s a try and she ended up knowing exactly the dress that would fit my body and my style perfectly. I ended up getting the first one I tried. I felt that I received the dress for a good price. She tailored it perfectly to my body. She is an expert at what she does. Enelda was very responsive to my requests until the very end. A week or two before I wanted a little more space around my diaphragm and she created it happily. The dress fit me like a glove and gave me nice curves (which I do not typically have). It was a relief to feel like I could trustzanetich that someone was going to take care of such an important part of the wedding. Also, she does many phases of alterations and they were very affordable. If you are a bride and go to Enelda, you can trust that she will give you her undivided attention and
take excellent care of you. I felt incredibly beautiful and loved my dress on my wedding day. It came out great in pictures and my guests were effusively complimenting it all night.

Fellow Brides — I fell victim to Bridals by Roma. They took my deposit in February and never ordered my dress. I was unable to find out who the manufacturer was so I was forced to find a new dress. I went to Enelda’s in Sparta yesterday and found a gorgeous dress — even BETTER than the one at Roma. It’s a small little boutique but they have a great selection of the most beautiful dresses. I would HIGHLY recommend this store. Enelda totally saved the day. She was so helpful. They are located at 10 White Deer Plaza in Sparta — (973) 726‑8952.
