Elegance by Carbonneau

WOW. I loved shopping here! I everyone was so nice to me every time I went in (which ended up being quite a few!) Everyone working was so helpful and I was able to find the most beautiful and affordable dress. I even had my bridesmaids get their dresses there and everyone loved the shop! The shoe selection is awesome too. Everyone was very attentive and gave helpful opinions when I was buying my dress. Can't say enough good things about the store!

I had a great experience with My Dress 4 Less and would recommend them to anyone. I found their site because I was searching for a specific dress by Mon Cherie. Unfortunately, the dress had been discontinued, but the gals at My Dress 4 Less called the warehouse and found there was one dress left, which happened to be in my size but was in a slightly different color than I had originally wanted. I had a bunch of questions on the color because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too dark, and the ladies there were really helpful. They also helped me double check my measurements to the size chart to ensure the dress sizing was correct. I asked for a discount (since it was the last dress left), and they gave me one! And the best part? Because my dress was coming straight from the warehouse I received it in 10 DAYS, which is unheard of when it comes to buying a wedding dress. With a short time between engagement and wedding (only 4 months), getting my dress quickly saved on a lot of stress. P.S. Yes, it's a little scary ordering a dress you have not tried on, but there is a risk in ordering ANY bridal gown, whether from a store or online, because 99% of the time it is un-returnable anyway.

I had a great experience with the people at Elegance. They helped me find my dream dress!! They were very thorough with making sure my dress was perfect when it came in (they actually sent it back to the designer the first time because it wasnt perfect). My only complaint would be that you dont always get to see or talk to the same person.

I loved the service that I got from Colleen my order was just perfect. thank you so much. you made my wedding the best.....

I was in a major pinch and needed a bridesmaid dress in less than a week. They responded almost immediately and located the dress in my size/color IN STOCK. I got it in less than 24 hrs, safely and securely. Fantastic experience all around. Best part, best Price too. When I was receiving responses hours later from other sites saying they couldn't help me nor could anyone else, I was already trying on my dress from Elegance by Carbonneau. So glad I bumped into their site, and will absolutely go back in the future!

The service I received at MyDress4less was fantastic. I was very hesitant to order a dress on line. I spoke with Colleen and expressed my concerns because recently I had a bad experience with delivery with a LOCAL vendor. Colleen assured me that they had never had a mix up, my dress would arrive no later than the week of July 5th and even helped me figure out the perfect dress size. I am rating all 5's because I not only received the perfect dress, I received it the same week I ordered it - Saturday delivery FED EX. I was not even expecting the dress and imagine my surprise to find the most beautiful perfect dress at my door step almost 10 days before I even expected it. I may still try on dresses at a local dress shop but I will certainly order from MyDress4less.com.

Thank you for helping me order my bridesmaid dress! You were one of the few shops that could get the dress in time and your prices were far superior to other bridal shops. My dress even arrived early! Definitely will reccommend to others.

I would give them 0 stars if I could......What a HORRIBLE place! The bridesmaids dresses come in only 3 weeks before the wedding and they kept making excuses about a grace period for them coming in. I was told they would come in 4 weeks earlier but they did not and we all waited for them. So every girl had to scramble to get them altered. Then the flower girls dress was the wrong color and they blamed it on ME! They said since it was not in the notes they took then it must have been my fault. Hey, I am not the salesperson taking down the information. YOU are! Then they had the nerve to say I could buy a colored sash to try to fix it, yet I had to pay for that. They made no attempt to correct the situation and I am still waiting for a phone call from the store owner.....one week later. I will never use them again. They are unprofessional and pass blame off on their customers! Do not use them!

Had an awesome experience with mydress4less! Colleen answered all my questions and made my dress buying such an easy task. She made me feel comfortable and less stressed when it came to dress shopping. Thanks Colleen and mydress4less! I'll definatley return shop and tell anyone I know who needs a dress to visit mydress4less and Ekegance by Carbonneau!

Loved that I could get the dress so fast all the suppliers in my area noted 12 weeks delivery, crazy I thought. Love shopping on line.

I had made an appointment for my bridal gown AND bridesmaids. We were told we had 2 hours for both. When we arrived we checked in at the desk were it seemed that the blonde women behind the counter was all about the her personal lfe. ( found out later that it was the owner) I was given Dee as a consultant she didnt seem very up to date with her fashion choices so we all were put back about how she would be able to help me. I am very much into fashion. The appointment started out ok then Dee seemed to get destarcted. My girls ended up pulling gowns for me and another consultant that was with another bride made a suggestion and that gown ended up top on my list. As my mother and I grew more annoyed we moved onto bridesmaids. As we started my consultant really was distant. She dropped us for someone she worked with the day befrore. We didnt even try on any more gowns. We all were unhappy and our day was uneventful. I ended up ordering the gown the other consultant suggested at another shop who gave us better service. If you do go in you should see if the consultant that suggested the gown is available. I never caught her name but she had short dark hair and seemed very professional and helpful.

I would reccomend visiting this store via mydress4less.com, I ordered 3 bridesmaid dresses by Alexia designs and they are perfect. This is a web store which then orders direct from the designer, NOT copy dresses made in China! 100% happy and satisfied. My dresses were a half the price of buying from a bridal store in England. I even mangaged to buy a brooch from them to change the youngest bridesmaids dress so it matches the adults plus extra material to match for making waiscoates for the men, nothing is to much trouble and Colleen is very attentive to requirements and quick to reply. Go for it, you wont be disappointed.If anyone would like further info please feel free to email sally21april@hotmail.co.uk

I went to this shop 2 days before my wedding because I had not found the right earrings and bracelet - I had looked everywhere, however I told my mom that I just wanted to check out one more place before calling off the search. Though the shop had a lot to choose from, I still did not see what I was looking for (though I did not know what it was yet). Then she let me use the computer to see what the warehouse sells (mydressforless.com is run from the 2nd floor). I searched all of the jewelry, wrote down the product numbers and she called upstairs. Within a few minutes, they sent down all of the items that I wanted to see and I found EXACTLY what I wanted!!! I was so happy - I highly recommend that you check out this shop FIRST!

My bridesmaids got their dresses here and the main complaint i have is that there is not a seamstress on sight

Carbonneau's was a fantastic bridal shop to work with! They ordered my dress for me after things did not work out at another bridal shop. My dress came in within 3 month and was perfect! Carbonneau's was also able to offer suggestions about jewelry, hair pieces and provide a recommendation for where to get my dress altered. I felt like I was stopping in there at least once a week for the month leading up to my wedding, and they were always pleasant and eager to help, especially Christine, who had previous experience working with my dress designer and was able to provide a lot of assistance. I ended up purchasing all of my jewelry, as well as my veil and hair piece from there! My look was exactly as I wanted it, and I couldn't have been happier!

I ordered my wedding gown through the store's website, since it was cheaper than any store in my state. The dress came about a week later than I expected, but it was intact and packed in the box well. I was able to get a free veil with my order but was thankful I had chosen to use my sister's as the veil was such poor quality I don't even feel right selling it to someone. It was valued at $90 and looked worth maybe $20.The people I talked to on the phone were nice enough but not very professional for the amount of money I was spending. All in all, I'd say I was glad I got a good price for my dress, but I'd advise people to buy their wedding gown in a store.

On my first dress shopping trip I went to three shops. Elegance was first and by far my favorite! Christine was my sales associate and she was so helpful. She didn't try to push anything on my and really seemed to understand what I was looking for. I would have given 5 stars all around based on my experience with her, however, I had a few issues with another sales associate that temporarily soured my experience. Luckily all was resolved upon speaking with Lynn, the owner. She was very understanding and sympathetic and appreciative of my feedback. In the end, I bought my gown there and had all 5 of my bridesmaids get their dresses there as well. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this store to any bride!

I bought my wedding gown at Elegance by Carbonneau, after shopping at several other stores. They had a great selection and their prices that were significantly cheaper than other stores. The customer service was fantastic, and the consultants worked hard to find me a perfect dress within my price range. The consultants were helpful but not pushy. After I bought my dress, I went back with my bridesmaids to shop for their dresses. They tried on a lot of dresses, in a variety of different styles and prices, until we all agreed on one. Overall, it was a positive shopping experience, and I'm glad that we were able to support a family-owned business.

I was skeptical at first about coming here as I thought it was more for prom dresses and teenie-boppers... I was wrong! I love Lynn.. she was the only one who actually told me what looked good, what didn't and she even pulled my dress for me that I ended up wearing on my wedding day. We also got all of our other dresses there. Everything was right the first time, the right size.. and everything came in on time, if not early. Thanks!

I had gone to several bridal shops throughout Massachusetts and I found Elegance by Carbonneau to be the best and have the best!!They had a huge selection of gowns to choose from off the racks and in catalogs. I was shopping for myself (the bride to be!) my bridesmaids and my flower girl. We found everything we needed.The service there was fantastic! The girls there are so much fun.

Great selection and knowledgeable staff. Accepted walk-ins and appointments. Carry a wide range of dresses for brides, mother of the bride and bridesmaids/proms. Also carry good selection of shoes and accessories. They don't do alterations on site, but they recommend a local tailor who was wonderful.

I found Carbonneaus to be great to work with! I LOVED my dress and got it for a great price from Carbonneaus. The girls were great to work with!

This has been the worst experience i have ever had with a bridesmaid dress. The staff ordered what was written on their card, the card they themselves write and do not verify with the customer or have the customer sign. I was fitted for a friends wedding back in May 09, the dress was just mailed to me and its 3 inches too small in the bust. However the odd thing is since the fitting i have lost 11 lbs, gone down a band size in my bra and still the dress does not fit... i went to a REAL Alfred Angelo yesterday and the seamstress took one look at me and said it should have been a W size, something i knew i had tried on, however the employee wrote the size without the W, which they are refusing to admit and are not willing to work with me at all. The alterations will be the same price as buying a dress but the 10-12week turnaround down not allow for me to order a new dress. Thanks for being such a classy joint and standing by your employees not the customer, without whom you wouldn't be able to employ those hard working associates. I would recommend working directly with the designer label not an independent dealer, the price difference is worth the guarantee of good customer service.

I couldn't believe how ugly I felt when I left there inside and out!!! The attendants helping me find things made me feel like they had better things to do. I have a pretty tight budget but I didn't hvae to be treated like I do! For such a special occasion I can't believe how sad the experience left me. I'll be taking my small budget elsewhere.

Elegance by Carbonneaus is the place to go for your wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. They are so reasonably priced. Their selection is outstanding and if they don't have something you want they will get it for you. We did not have one single issue with them. Lynn who is the owner is so great to deal with. She was always pleasant and willing to help. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family.

Carbonneau's is a really good for looking for a dress. I also ordered the bridesmaids dresses and they accommodated all of the ladies (7, including junior bridesmaid). Oddly enough, I was also able to get my shoes there as well (be sure to order in advance though, if the shoe is not in their current stock). All of the staff are very professional and help make you beautiful as a bride! I highly recommend them, stop by or call to check to see when they are the least busy or call to set an appointment, that way you are guaranteed attention from a staff person. I was very happy with my dress. It was Maggie Sottero's Sara. I also got a great price in comparison of site's cost for dress.

I have very little time before my wedding and the dress that I ordered was not going to be delivered in time so I was left a little panicked to say the least! I contacted this store about a dress that I was interested in and very shortly after my email I received a response. Within an hour I had received confirmation that the manufacturer had my size in stock and could ship it out straight away. I spoke with Colleen who was extremely helpful and understood that I was a little concerned about the timing of my dress being delivered.
I ordered the dress and I am now told that it will be with me within 3 weeks! I cant wait and will definitely recommend this store based on its customer service so far and will review again when the dress arrives, hopefully within the 3 weeks!

I found my dress somewhere else but bought my dress here, along with my veil. My mother, grandmother, and all of my bridesmaids also bought their dresses here. It was cheaper here than other places and that is why I bought it here. They were nice, but do not go on a Saturday as they were extremely busy and was hard to get the service and attention wanted as a bride.

I was very reluctant to use Elegance by Carbonneau for the fact that their prices were so much cheaper than anyone elses. I did not get my bridal gown here only because I purchased it at another shop before I had checked this place out, but I did get the bridesmaid dresses here. I called around to many different shops to find the best price for the dress I wanted. Most prices were $200-$220 (not including taxes), I found one shop nearby that offered it for $180, I called Carbonneau's, told them the $180 price, and they sold the dress to us for $170 (including tax and all). In addition to the great price, there were many other things they did to help me, I was not an easy bride to work with (I changed my mind about a million times).1. The dress I originally wanted came in the fabric Shantung, I only saw a black dress in this material. I went to a different store to see if I could find my color in this fabric (because most shops only carry one dress of each style/fabric/color) and thank God I did, I was looking to get a light blue color and when I saw this color in this fabric, I noticed that the fabric looked like it had a lot of pulls in it, which did not show up as much in the black dress, there was nothing wrong with the dress, that is just what the fabric looks like. So I went back to Carbonneau's and asked if they could do a fabric change, the company wouldn't let me, but there was another dress that was the same exact style, in satin. They had already had all of the information written down, but they let me change the dress.2. The new dress that we had selected was higher in price (only 10 dollars more), but to make it easy on everyone, they let us keep the price of the original dress.3. I ordered a swatch of the dress and when it came in, it wasn't what I had pictured. So, another panicked call to Carbonneau's was placed. Lynn was very helpful and told me that if it was necesary, we could change the color but it had to be done within the next day or two. After the panick blew over, I decided to keep the color and called them back. After that, the dresses (all 7 of them) came back within a month!! I was a little nervous because of how fast they came in, but they were beautiful!Overall, they were extremely helpful will the whole process. They were very patient with me and were very accommodating. They gave their professional advice when I asked for it and were in no way pushy (which some of these places can be). I would definitely recommend Elegance by Carbonneau to other brides.

My Mother and I end wedding gown shopping and had a great experience at this shop. The bridal consultant that I worked with was very professional and very knowledgable. We had a great time and Christine (the bridal consultant) made my gown shopping a very enjoyable experience. She had me try on a gown I never would have looked at. It was the most amazing gown. The price was also fantasic. With no pressure we decided to purchase my wedding gown. I would recommend Elegance to every bride out there.
