I ordered my bridesmaid dresses through Dream Dress Express. It was easy for my bridesmaids to come in and select a dress that worked for them. My out of town girls were able to call in their measurements. They kept me updated on the status of everything throughout the process.

After shopping at David’s bridal and being turned away for being a plus size bride. Dream dress welcomed me with open arms and even got me to try on dresses to get an idea! Katie did amazing with making me feel like I was a normal bride. Ben also took care of us getting tux’s and did and amazing job understanding what I wanted! Can’t wait to order my dress and continue service through this amazing place!

I really enjoyed my experience shopping for a wedding dress here. They had some beautiful options and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Went in last year just before the 19 to get fitted as a groomsman. A year later, I went back for the second fitting, and it felt like only a couple days passed. Very friendly service, and helpful too. Id recommend them to any one.

Best dress experience you will ever have! Best customer service I have ever seen anywhere, not just dress stores. The ladies there are so friendly and inciting. Literally the opposite of David’s Bridal (which is the best thing there could be). I have suggested this place to everyone I know, even people I don’t. We found THE dress in a little over an hour after trying on soo many dresses. Erica was so patient with me and listened to everything I liked and disliked about each dress I tried on. The dress she brought in wasn’t anything that I thought I would have wanted but the ones I picked out weren’t working for me and I didn’t like really any of them. Erica just somehow knew that this would be a good one to try and it was THE dress.I have been to so many dress shops and have never found one as amazing as this one. If I is could rate this more than 5/5 I would, it would be an 11/5; for their customer service, their dress selection, their set up of the dressing rooms, the amount of mirrors, for making the appointment feel like you are the only person in the store and that you matter, for not rushing anyone, for continuously checking up and making sure everything is okay or if you needed a different dress. It was never awkward, never frustrating, the purchase was easy and the ordering was made so simple. Thanks for your help Erica and everyone at Dream Dress Express! Can’t wait to get my dress altered when it gets in!

Dream Dress Express is the best!! My mom and I went to several places in Lincoln but nothing compared to Darlene at DDE!! I called to see if we could look at dresses even though we didn’t have an appointment because we were just passing through town on our way back home to North Platte, she was so friendly from the get go and said we absolutely could come down and she would be happy to see us! She made dress shopping so fun and a breeze and was so helpful, even made my mom sit down and relax while she helped, something we did not get anywhere else where we had to pretty much help ourselves! She made this day so special for us! Thank you Darlene you are such a sweetheart! Also thanks to Mika (I forgot how to spell it!), she was also a great help and made our experience great!! Would highly recommend!!

Erica at Dream Express was the best consultant I had during my search for a wedding dress. Dream express was my last store after trying on dresses all day. I was completely defeated and exhausted but Erica helped me find the strength to keep going and still feel like a beautiful bride. I unfortunately found a dress at another location but I would strongly recommend this location for your bridal needs.

I have been engaged for just under 1 year and in that time i chose to visit a minimal number of bridal gown salons in an attempt to lessen the overwhelming emotions that can follow a dress fitting searching for the one. I was blown away by the gorgeous gowns my consultant Darlene showed me and my mom and aunt. I was given more than an ample amount of time to try on dress after dress after dress, slowly eliminating the ones that didnt scream me. Passing a showstopper set on a mannequin in the window my aunt insisted I try it on and after everyone soon followed suit I gave in. I was shocked at how I looked and after quickly realizing I was in the one I began crying a mixture of happy and sad tears. Happy because I had my dream dress (pun intended) and sad because the rush the followed the hunt for the right dress was over. Darlene was fantastic the entire experience. Her skill set is unmatched in her field and I am forever thankful for her time and effort. I cannot wait to show everyone at my wedding the beautiful gown we discovered, most of all my soon to be Husband. Thank you Darlene! PS. the payment plan option that this boutique offers is insanely reasonable and I wouldnt have it any other way, allows me to have my cake and eat it too!

Erica was absolutely AMAZING! She knew exactly how to conduct a bridal appointment. I had gone to a different bridal store in the morning and was completed overwhelmed and deflated after visiting that store. I came to Dream Dress and Erica looked at pictures of what I had tried on and asked very important questions about what I liked/didnt like. She helped pull the right dresses in the beginning, and I only tried on 3 dresses here before saying YES! She accommodated any accessories we wanted to try out (and there were many!) I also appreciated that they offer a different designer than other stores in the area have so that I could achieve a different, but still bridal, look than I was seeing elsewhere. While I ended up spending a little over my budget, it was worth it for the service I received here.

We came here to get my fiancé a tuxedo for our wedding — we were treated so well and had such a positive experience we also reserved tuxedos for all the groomsmen and the father of the groom!Darlene (the bridal manager) was kind, attentive, she listened to our preferences, she made helpful, informed suggestions, she did not rush us and truly provided stellar customer service!Their rental cost is very reasonable and everyone we encountered was friendly and genuine. We felt completely comfortable and highly recommend Dream Dress Express/Tip Top Tux!

Went in to find a wedding dress today, and can I say how phenomenal my experience was!! I was very nervous and excited about finding “THE ONE”. I worked with Darlene, she was absolutely wonderful!! She helped me pick out more of the same styles of dresses I liked, assisted in clipping and filling each dress to see the proper look in front and back, and just went over and beyond to help me find the right one! She picked out a veil that complimented my dress perfectly! I couldn’t have asked for better service. We ended up cancelling our next appointment at a bridal shop, since the 2nd one I tried on ended up being THE ONE!! I would recommend her and the other bridal consultants to anyone looking for a dress!!

This is my favorite place to dress shop! They have great selection and prices. Every person who works there is so nice and extremely helpful. I got my senior prom dress there today and was helped by Kay. She was so fun, helpful, and made my experience super awesome! I am for sure coming back here for any dresses I need. I would highly recommend Dream Dress Express to anyone who doesn’t know where to shop!

Beware!! Prices are outrageous..the prices quoted were not the same and when we went in to pay for the dress. Then they said the had someone to come into the shop and make the alterations for you..BEWARE!! high priced and you can not count on getting you stuff back in a timely manor!! I was going to go back and get my dress! Forget it!! I would be better off going to Goodwill.. That place is a freaking joke!!

I didnt purchase my dress here, but personally I feel where you find the dress is a bit happenstance. So Dream Dress still deserves a great review on my experience there regardless. I worked with Haley. She had the best personality, was extremely fun and made me feel very comfortable. As a partner of Tip Top Tux, I guessed Dream Dress would be a wonderful place, but they exceeded expectations. The entire staff was professional, the dress selection was phenomenal, and the environment is designed to make a bride and her guests feel special! Thank you Haley and staff for my enjoyable visit!

Brought a friend here to find her wedding dress on a budget and time crunch. We had Bre as our consultant she was absolutely amazing!! First dress she tried was everything she wanted and brought her to tears. Even better it was in her size on the $99 rack!!!! Saved us from a $230 used consignment nightmare she had on hold!! Thank you so much Bre you were so patient and understanding you really went the extra mile to make it lace up and fit right! I appreciate everything you did! And I’m sure you guys get commission so it’s not like it was a huge sale and you still made it an amazing experience for her! I would recommend Bre and dress express for sure!

They have Tip Top Tux and Dream Dress connected women are trying on dresses and there are also men coming in for suits and tuxes. The dress part does not have enough privacy. There should be something separate for each side like it was. I was going to go here for my wedding dress, but after stopping in there Im not. This used to be a very classy place when it was J Mauries Bridal. No thanks going some where else.

Dream Dress was the first place I tried on wedding dresses and after visiting several other shops in Nebraska, Arkansas (home), and Louisiana, it was an easy decision to drive back up to Lincoln to Dream Dress Express to find my dress and Im so glad I did!My dress was due to arrive in the midst of the Covid-19 closures. I worked with one of the fabulous reps, Katlyn, and she was able to have my dress delivered to me direct from the designer. Even with the ups and downs, temporary store closures, and being an out-of-state bride, they made this process so easy and stress free for me.They had the best customer service, by far, of any of the 9+ shops that I visited. You wont go wrong with choosing Dream Dress for your big day!

Haley was so amazing with helping me find my perfect dress! She knew exactly what I wanted and only pulled dresses that were within my budget. She was so kind and understanding, even when I had to leave to go try on a previous dress at a different store to compare. She just wanted me to choose what was best for me. Sure enough, I returned and got THE PERFECT DRESS from Dream Dress Express.

I cannot give this place enough stars!!! Seriously. The dresses and ladies here are PHENOMENAL. I am a very picky, indecisive bride, and I found my absolute dream dress here. The ladies even had a dress that I found online shipped here specially for me, and, when I didnt love it, they let me put the shipping costs towards the dress that I ultimately decided on. No other place that I talked to would do that for me. Haley and Destiny are especially helpful. They are laid-back, friendly, and passionate about helping you to look your best on your wedding day. They have a beautiful selection of dresses with amazing veils and accessories to choose from. I recommend the Lincoln Dream Dress Express to anyone and everyone who wants to have a great experience finding their perfect wedding gown.

I had such a wonderful experience at Dream Dress Express! Sarah really took my ideas and pulled dresses that fit those ideas. Then, she took the two dresses I liked the most and pulled a dress that had everything I wanted! I found the PERFECT dress and had a terrific experience. The appointment was very productive and I felt like they really valued my time. Sarah also respected my budget. I told her I had a strict budget, and she didn’t try to push me outside of it. Not to mention, their overall prices are great! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone!

Best experience Ive ever had at a bridal store, and I have been to my share.Spur of the moment decision, but at noon I booked an appointment for 6:45 the same day and they were able to get me in.I was paired with Megan, and this girl worked WONDERS. Each dress I tried on I always struggled with words to explain what I liked or didnt like and yet she always completely understood.My favorite dress was too small for me, but Megan worked wonders by putting me in a similar dress and clipping my preferred dress to the front of me so it looked like I was wearing it. She then grabbed multiple belts covered in glitter because she could tell I needed that extra pop for my big personality. It came together as a STUNNING dress.We were taken care of a good 30 minutes after closing time and I am so so appreciative of that.Ive never had a stylist work so hard to bring my ideas into a solid concept.The store itself has such a luxury feeling. The showroom is very well organized by size, style, and availability. Love, love, love.

I went in just expecting to browse the dresses because I didnt have an appointment, but I had some free time, but I ended up being treated like I had made an appointment. They helped me figure out what my style was and what I wanted in a wedding dress! They were wonderful! I definitely recommend them!

I came in as a walk in right before close and I was honestly a little irritated (mostly just hungry) because my mom wanted to stop quick after another appointment. I wasn’t expecting to try on anything because there was less than an hour left, but the ladies were more than willing to get me into some dresses. I got paired up with Haley, who is absolutely amazing! Her personality perked me up almost instantly and I had so much fun trying on dresses with her. When we figured out that I liked ballgowns with glitter underlay, she had more options for me. I found one that I absolutely loved and I was allowed to walk around, sit down, and even get a few pictures outside to see the lighting. The first veil she put on me was perfect and I hadn’t even begun thinking of veils yet! We left without purchasing because there was another place we were going to the next day. All that night and the next day, I couldn’t stop looking at pictures of the dress I fell in love with. I humored my mom and went to Wahoo with her, but didn’t find anything. I told her I wanted to go back and try on the dress again and we did (as well as others, just in case). I had a couple girls from my party there too and I ended up buying the dress. It was an amazing experience and I felt truly special the whole time.

This place is amazing. It is a beautiful store with a wonderful collection of wedding dresses to choose from and the staff was all lovely. Haley was the most charming, personable, and helpful consultant Ive ever seen. She found lots of dresses to help me figure out what I want, constantly working with feedback. She made my wedding dress shopping experience so much fun for me and my party!

Dream Dress is my favorite shop to look at wedding dresses and so far Ive been to 5 stores and soon 6. Dream Dress is the only place I wanted to go back to, not only because I like their dresses but because of the staff. Specifically Haley. I am a very shy person and I get intimidated easily, but Haley made me feel comfortable and confident throughout my appointment, she was very fun to work with.If you want a wedding dress and a grate person to work with you, I recommend Dream Dress at Lincoln, NE & ask for Haley Newburn.

I looked here at Dream Dress Express first and then at another well known Bridal Gown Shop and by far my experience here was the best. The girls were more helpful and friendly. They asked questions, listened to my likes and dislikes and actively kept going back to grab other dresses they thought would fit my wants and needs. I ended up going back to Dream Dress Express and found my perfect dress that day. All the dresses I tried were of high quality and the prices I thought were very reasonable. Theyre also very laid back here and allow your friends/family to also look for dresses and pull them for you to try on.

My mom and I went in to look at bridesmaid dresses. I ended up asking about tux prices and they had a special running. We did not have an appointment or anything and Haley immediately dropped everything and came to help us. She spend nearly an hour and 15 minutes with us going over every option they had for tuxes. I was there without my fiancé but because of the special going on we wanted to book that day. With Haleys help I was able to book every tux for our entire wedding party confidently because she was extremely knowledgeable. A part of the wedding I was dreading doing, turned out to be so easy and very enjoyable due to the staff here and how fun they made it! Highly recommend dream dress express!

Had a great time here for a bridal appointment. The consultant seemed to enjoy her job and she was very friendly. Only thing was she said she’d check to see if she could get us a deal on a dress and would call me. She never called me. Luckily I found my dress elsewhere.

Review №49

We received a call from tip top tux stating that the tuxes we rented for our wedding over a year ago are no longer available. This is 1 month until our wedding.We visited to get new tuxes, and some of the staff helping us gave dirty looks and eye rolls to me, my fiance, and even a rude comment to my toddler son! They tried telling us at first they had no other options but when we expressed disappointment in their substitute, they brought a few more options. We chose a nice substitute (a very good quality suit with a fantastic fit) at no extra charge which I definitely appreciate. Unfortunately upon reviewing our entire order, we found there were at least 3 significant errors in the order which would have been instantly apparent if not corrected.Overall, the quality of the suits is very nice, but thats if you can get the one you truly want and can tolerate the unprofessional staff.Thank you for reading!

This place had good people but a terrible seamstress by the name of Cindy . do not I repeate do not alow her to work on your dress she is garbage. I basically wasted a total of 1000$ for nothing . I paid this woman 375$ to do an a amateurs job my fiances dress is ruind. To top it off the so called seamstress Cindy took off befor befor my fiance could even get out off her dress!!!!!!! If she does not fix this I will see her in court I will get my money back. Am though that will not fix the one special day that she has ruind.

AMAZING! It will be hard to explain how truly fantastic my experience was at the Lincoln Dream Dress Express because there are so many reasons. I have been dress shopping all over in multiple states and this new store in Lincoln tops the chart. If you want the short of why they are so great I bulleted it, but read the story if you want to understand why I would recommend them to anyone.The Short:-Wide variety of dresses many I had seen no where else-Great prices!-The most caring staff you will ever meet-Perfect set up for privacy but also a fun community feelMy Story:I went in the first day on a whim and they were extremely accommodating. The set up is perfect with lots of dresses and multiple dressing areas which are both private but still allow for a community feel. I worked with Margaret and Darlene, who are rockstars and clearly love helping people find their dream dress. Upon walking in I told them I wasnt going to be the type of girl who had that moment or found the perfect dress too which Darlene replied Oh honey you should have come here first. Trust me I will make sure you have the prefect dress. Lets just say she didnt disappoint.I tried on quiet a few dresses and finally found the most mazing unique dress. I had been dress shopping many times I had seen a lot of the same dresses but Dream Dress Express had a large variety of different dresses I had never seen, which was extremely refreshing. Since my mother was not with me I decided to set up an appointment to bring her a few days later.When we walked in for our appointment a few days later we were greeted as old friend. Margaret had a huge smile on her face and she welcomed both my sister and I by name and then Mom and proceeded to give us all hugs. I cannot tell you how much this made my mothers day (she is still talking about it)! As my mother had not seen any of the dresses I had previously tried on I tried on all of them again and more. No one even batted an eye at this and they were all extremely helpful even with the ones they knew I was not going to get. Finally it came time to put on THE DRESS. Now this dress was too small for me as some samples will be but they did a superior job of making sure my mom was able to see what the end result will be. The whole store gets involved with the process and makes you feel as if you are the only person in the world that matters at that moment. Not only was this dress the most unique perfect dress it was far less expensive then any other dresses from previous stores. I was already pleased with the price only to find out that due to a special circumstance they were able to take an extra $300 off and included the veil (which completes everything!) for FREE!!! I absolutely could not believe it. The miracles both Margaret and Darlene worked both at assisting me find the perfect dress and at giving me the best deal possible were astounding.While I was finalizing everything with my dress they got my mom going with mothers dresses. I couldnt thank them enough for working with her and finding something in which she would feel comfortable in. And yes they did it again and found a great dress!I just cant say enough great things about Dream Dress Express in Lincoln and the second to none staff they have working there!THANK YOU!!!!!
