Brides by Jessa

"I had by far the best bridal experience ever at Brides by Jessa. All employees were so helpful and listened to my thoughts. They have a great variety of dresses, and their pricing is very reasonable. I did not feel rushed or overwhelmed, the whole experience was pleasant. I would recommend them to any bride that is shopping for dresses!"

"We came here last minute and I could not be happier! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating to all the people I brought with me. We had a blast picking out dresses to try on. We were able to find a dress in my budget that I LOVED!!! I could not be happier about my bridal experience at Brides by Jessa!"

"I had a great experience at Brides by Jessa. My stylist really listened to all of my feedback and helped me visualize different aspects of each dress. She did a great job of making me feel confident and always pointed out features that were highlighted. Anika listened and ultimately hand-picked the most perfect dress that had everything I was searching for! Highly recommend for all brides to look for their dream wedding dress here. :)"

"Sunday morning, I had an incredible experience at Brides by Jessa! It was my very first time looking for and trying on wedding dresses, and I felt so celebrated and cared for as a customer. Miriam spent about 2 hours and 20 minutes with us, and I probably tried on about 6 or 7 dresses in total. She was very helpful in talking me through what kinds of dresses I thought I liked, and allowed me to not feel too narrowed into one "style" or shape, which I appreciated. She made genuine comments about how a dress flattered and accentuated my body, she never made me feel 'bad' about my body or size. She asked questions about my fiancée and discussed how she wants her brides to feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and that during the dress shopping experience, to consider how you hope to feel on your wedding day. It was a really great experience! I am an LGBTQ bride and so it feels very important to me that my vendors (?), or folks involved in the wedding are affirming and supportive, and I definitely felt that with Miriam! We also had a good conversation about how getting more options for plus size dresses is an area of interest for the shop, and how pleased I was with the selection they did have. I tried on dresses from size 16-22, I believe. I wear a size 18 in Old Navy jeans, if that helps...! I have not decided on a dress yet, but I will definitely be making a follow up appointment with Brides by Jessa to continue my search."

"Brides by Jessa is truly such a gem of a business here in Eastern Iowa! The store is beautiful, the employees are patient and so accommodating. I bought my dress for my September wedding off the rack from them in late January which was so helpful because I had surgery early Feb and wasn’t able to walk for 3 months. They fit me in, made me feel comfortable and I walked out with my dream dress that day. Thank you so much!!"
