Malindy Elene Bridal

First time walking into the boutique! Very small and cozy and we didn’t have an apt which was fine so we got to look around. I didn’t try anything on, but the two ladies that were there were very helpful to me and my best friend and answered all our questions. So the 5 stars go to them. I don’t remember their names but they both were wonderful!

AMAZING. This is the word that I would use to describe my experience with Malindy Elene. From the moment I contacted Megan to the moment I left my final fitting, the customer service and care was exceptional. My mom, sisters, and I had were given a private appointment with the whole salon to ourselves. Not only is the salon gorgeous, but it was nice to experience finding a dress in such a private setting with close family members. Carla was great!!! She helped me look through the dresses and suggested ones that were EXACTLY what I had envisioned. She is such a professional and made this process so easy and enjoyable! Megan and Carla truly cared about me and were there to help me find the dress of my dreams. Whenever anyone asks me where to shop for a wedding gown in Tampa Bay, I tell them to go to Malindy Elene. This is the best salon in town!

Jen and Megan are the most amazing ladies ever! I emailed them on a Friday evening to see if they maybe had a cancellation for the following day, and would be able to fit me in for an appointment. Within minutes, (keep in mind, on a Friday EVENING), Megan emailed me back saying they had a cancellation and that they could fit me in the next day! Whew, so exciting! I arrived with my girlfriends, and then the fun began. We tried on dress after dress, each one more beautiful and magnificent! I had given Jen at set budget, which wasn’t very high, and she did an EXCELLENT job staying within, even below budget! I truly felt like a princess while shopping at Malindy Elene and would recommend it to any bride-​to-​be! Thank you ladies for being so wonderful!!!

Super nice boutique!
Great options but just none for me. The girls are real nice. The only annoying thing is that the girls wait to help you get in dress but they don’t help you hang them. Just a little touch other places do were they hang while you try on another dress. The options for dress are very pretty just not a huge selection.

Do yourself a favor and buy your dress here!!! Megan and Jen are beyond helpful and provide the best customer care. The boutique is gorgeous and is always extremely clean. I went in here, the 4^th place looking for my wedding dress and was blown away by my experience. My appointment included me and no others in the shop, talk about personal one on one attention! I tried on two Anna Campbell dresses along with a few others Megan had picked out for me (since I told her what I was looking for). While trying the dresses on, Megan informed me of an Anna Campbell trunk show they were having in just a few weeks. Her store is the only one in Florida to carry Anna Campbell dresses (and they are exquisite)! I went in for my appointment during the trunk show and found the one! Megan popped open a bottle of champagne for my maid of honor and I to celebrate. She let me stay in my dress as long as I wanted and never ever made me feel rushed. I could go on and on about how wonderful her and Jen are!

Jen was AMAZING!!! I had been to 3 other places and tried on about 40 dresses (!!!) and almost bought one but it never felt right. The minute I walked in I felt right at home, and found my dream dress within an hour. The one I ended up choosing was not the style I came for, but they brought it to the room thinking it was my style. They were right! You have to check out this place!

Megan and Jenn were awesome!!! They have a pretty good selection of dresses ranging from $ 2500−5k so if you’re looking outside of that you might want to plan on finding your dress somewhere else (but still come and check them out!). But they were not pushy at all to buy a dress, they showed me tons of different options and really tried to figure out what I did and didn’t like. If you get your dress within 24 hrs… You get 10% off. They also have sashes, belts, jewelry and veils to use for the full effect. Definitely a bridal shopping experience, it was just me and my mom in the store so I’m pretty sure they require appointments (I had one). Oh! AND she didn’t try to take me out of my price range!!! Also they will try to customize anything you don’t like about the dress. It was my first time looking but I would definitely get a dress from there.

I could not have asked for a better wedding dress shopping experience! Megan was fantastic in helping me find the dream dress I had in mind & within budget. I never felt rushed or pressure to buy. I can’t wait to go back for alterations and see everyone at the shop again! The store is beautiful and I had a lot of lace dresses & styles to choose from.

When I went wedding dress shopping, I went to all the best stores in the Tampa Bay area, but none of them had so many gorgeous dresses as Malindy Elene! The store is super cute and has the most stunning wedding dresses I’ve ever seen. Megan, the owner, and all the girls were so sweet and professional. They not only helped me to find the perfect wedding dress for my garden wedding but they also gave me a lot of recommendations as far as a good photographer, wedding planner, florist, etc. Thank you Malindy Elene girls for making my wedding dress shopping experience so memorable and stress free! I love your welcoming and warm personalities! I can’t imagine buying my dress from a different store!

I purchased my wedding gown at Malindy Elene after hearing about a great experience with them. I could not have asked for a better experience trying on and purchasing a wedding gown. Before I even stepped foot in the salon, Megan emailed me some options of what I might like. Once I got there, the girls were fun, friendly, and so helpful. Since I live I Orlando, they constantly stayed late to accommodate my fitting appointments. I would highly recommend Malindy Elene to anyone living in the central Florida area, not just Tampa; they are worth the drive.

If you prefer to have a personable yet professional and over the top bridal experience, there is no better place in the Tampa Bay region than Malindy Elene. Megan treats her clients not as a number (as most boutiques in the Bay area do), but as a friend and guest. She ensures your comfort and accommodations are met and will bend over backwards to promise a quality experience.
From the moment I walked into the store (after three prior attempts at other boutiques) Megan was inviting, welcoming and driven to assist my needs. She was attentive, listened and pulled dresses to fit my taste. She has excellent and diverse taste and her study and love for bridal fashion immediately shows, as you can see from the designer selections. From start to finish, the staff was polite, helpful and friendly. They worked with my hectic schedule and even sent friendly e-​mails to check up on me throughout the process and even after the wedding!
Despite carrying handfuls of amazing designers that are not even sold in Florida (a major bonus), Megan, Karla, and the rest of the staff really are just delightful. They will work with you and literally promise a special experience for you and your family. I ended up with an Ivy & Aster gown for a destination winter wedding that I never thought would be found. Megan even went the extra mile to double pack my dress for traveling. I never write reviews nor do I get excited to share a boutique with anyone, however, Megan’s success with this store and her ability to inspire and share her passion with others deserves to be spoken about. I cannot say enough good things about Malindy Elene. It is a MUST stop for brides!

Malindy Elene was the ELEVENTH bridal shop I went to. I live in New York and had been to seven stores in the city looking for my dress, which is for an outdoor wedding in Florida. New York just didn’t have what I was looking for… anyway, the new owner, Megan, was so sweet, as was the sales associate Lauren. They commiserated with me over my seemingly endless and very stressful decision on what to wear to my wedding. And then, MAGIC! After trying on two beautiful Ivy & Aster dresses that I loved just as much as the 90+ other dresses lovely dresses I had tried on, I tried on an Anne Barge gown that was PERFECT! Megan gave me a great deal on it because it was a discontinued floor sample. With a gorgeous dress at a great price I splurged on a stunning hair piece that I cannot wait to wear. This is a top quality shop — I certainly had a lot to compare it to!

I got my bridal gown from this shop in early April of this year. The place is beautiful inside and everyone is extremely friendly. However, I do not live in the area, so they had to ship my dress to a different state. This worked out well for me, because I did not have to pay the taxes. Anyway, they told me that my dress would come in «middle of August.» Then, I called again and they said «end of August.» Needless to say, my dress did not arrive to the shop until September. It was finally delivered to me September 14^th. Mind you, my wedding is in October. This left me with approximately one month to do alterations. Without even trying the dress on, I take it straight to my seamstress for alterations. I tried it on for her, and we notice several spots with blood stains on them. One on the top front on the dress and one on the bottom of the dress. Neither spot came off completely. My mom called Malindy to let them know that this happened, and that we should not have gotten a dirty dress, and they were extremely rude to her. My mom’s English is not the best, but that is besides the point. Finally, they called me because «they couldn’t understand my mom» (who’s been in America over 20 years). The owner was quite nice, but alluded to the fact that «my situation» is what made one of her employees quit on her. After going back and forth, all that they offered us was $ 100, which does NOT make up for the fact that I received a dirty dress. This is a slap in the face. We decided not to take it. As everyone knows, when you are dealing with weddings, $ 100 is nothing. Overall, my experience with them was very positive until I received the dress. They need to be better prepared to deal with these kinds of situations. However, they already had their money at this point, so it did not matter to them. Up until the very end, I would have gladly recommended them, but unfortunately, they did not seal the deal for me. So, hopefully, if you use them, I hope that there is nothing wrong with your dress, because they will not help you.
