The absolute best experience I’ve had dress shopping. Rawan is the sweetest and most kind soul. She brings the magic to finding your dress or accessories. I highly recommend coming here for any bridal needs. If I could give her 10 stars I would!!

I came to the alpharetta location with my best friend for two appointments and I must say the experience here is amazing. The owner Rawan is so kind and inviting she made the experience for my friend unexplainable no bridal shop we went to gave us a better experience. I highly recommend coming here.

My experience at Elite Pour La Vie was out of this world. I had the best experience thanks to Rawan. She was very kind and genuine. She took great care of me as well as my friends and family who joined me, making all of us felt very welcome. She helped me find the most perfect wedding dress and went above and beyond all expectations. She even came in on her day off since I came from out of town to help finish the process as I was running low on time per other commitments the day before. I would recommend this beautiful boutique to anyone. I would give this place 10 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a magical first visit and a bunch of broken promises after. Rawan lied to us and said we'd receive the dress in a certain timeframe and it was not ready in said timeframe. We also had to pay extra for rush shipping when she initially said she'd waive the cost. She also lied about us doing no or low-cost alternations. The alterations were $500 and had to be redone because the first round looked horrendous. The seamstress chopped the hem in a haphazard fashion. None of my customizations were applied to the dress. Overall, a really bad experience with Rawan. Instead of handling our requests and complaints in a professional manner, she would ramble and scream instead.

I do believe Rawan and the staff here would like to do right by their customers, but the problem is that they seem so understaffed and their processes are so disorganized that the results are extremely frustrating for the bride. When things go wrong, it's difficult to even reach them and get a response, nevermind to get a straight answer. Promises are made over and over again and broken just as many times. There's no foresight or anticipation on their end to get ahead of potential issues - I don't believe they have the time or energy to do this, and communication is extremely poor when things do go wrong. All in all I unfortunately had a very stressful, disappointing experience here with my wedding dress.

Sadly, I never even got a chance to go to elite and I already have had a negative experience with this boutique. I put in a request to have an appointment and never heard back. I forgot about the appointment request and decided to look elsewhere. It was about a month or so later when I got a call back asking if I was interested in going to their Berta trunk show. It’s a pretty common knowledge that you have to pay for bridal appointments nowadays and I have already spent about $500 booking appointments at various other locations. when I got the call they said that they had seen my inquiry, that they were having trunk show and that it would be about $250 and that the $250 would go towards whatever dress I selected.My budget was about $10,000 and I was so excited since they had many of the designers I was interested in. But ultimately that put a very bad taste in my mouth. It shouldn’t take a month and a trunk show to reach back out to a potential client. Even after I just declined the trunk show, I was never even offered a regular appointment.

Avoid this place at all costs. It took months to hear an update about my custom dress. I finally got an update two months before my planned wedding date and didn’t get my dress until TWO WEEKS before the date. I was an out of town bride so I didn’t have time to travel to the store with the last minute notice to get my dress altered there. IT WAS A DISASTER. (And I know I’m not the only one.)My dress was 2inches too short (without wearing any shoes), the cup size was THREE sizes too small, and none of the custom elements were done. I think they forgot to send my order to the designer or something and made up my measurements. (It’s not like I had a growth spurt…)My experience in the shop was so special and incredible but unfortunately the dress I received and spent so much money on was completely unusable. It was beyond any alteration could fix. I had to get it completely remade from scratch with the designer and the store never got back to me. THANK GOD and luckily the designer was willing to work with me outside of the store and remake an entirely new dress. Our wedding ending up getting postponed but if it hadn’t I wouldn’t of had a dress and the store definitely didn’t care that I didn’t.Save yourself the stress, worry, anxiety, and devastation and get your dress at a shop that cares about you AFTER you swipe your card as well.

Please BEWARE! These dresses are not original! Had the worst experience with this store just a nightmare! Hope someone is able to see this review before they buy anything from them. I had ordered my dress from them with almost a 4 month time frame in which they said the dress would be ready. I tried getting in contact with them and it was impossible. My engagement party was nearly approaching. Went to their location in Phipps and discovered it was closed!! With no time to waste I ended up having to purchase another dress. After endless attempts they get back to me and tell me the dress is ready 2 days before I’m due to flight out to my event. Mind you this is a $5,000 dress that might need alterations. I go to the store and they give me this designer dress Charbel Zoe thrown in a little gift bag with no intentions of having me try it on or anything. I proceed to tell them I have to try it on. The dress is literally falling apart when the lady takes it out the bag you can clearly tell this was a knock off. Stitching falling apart and all the gems falling off. I then asked for a proof of authenticity and they said they couldn’t provide only a screenshot of a text showing they ordered the dress. No order number or anything! Run while you can. Luckily I disputed this charge and got it resolved.

Horrible experience with the owner Rawan. She’s beyond unprofessional and I would never buy from her. The other 5 star reviews here are fake from her friends. Please read the nightmares that she has put the people of Atlanta through. She’s being trashed and used by all the housewives.

Rawan is a monster. She sells fake counterfeit dresses. Please read these reviews carefully before purchasing.

Got my wedding dress from here & I’ve loved my experience. This store has stunning dresses. The owner really takes the time to ensure that your dress is everything you want. If you’re getting married soon, or have an event that requires dressing up, I’d definitely recommend this place!!!

So this store literally has every dress you could possibly dream of. The associates were so warm and welcoming. They helped me pick out some dresses to try and even encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. While I didn't say "yes to the dress" here, I'd recommend it to everyone!

The customer service here deserves the highest review possible. They made us comfortable as soon as we walked in, changed the music to what we wanted, gave us snacks and drinks. It’s clear Rawan is extremely passionate about what she does. She knew the exact dress style I was interested in and pulled out so many for me to try on. Rawan and Michael are so sweet. They gave me so much attention and explained each dress in such detail. I really couldn’t thank them enough for making me feel like a bride. This place is amazing!!!

Initially, I loved this place! My bridal appointment was great and I found my dream dress but trying to get an update after has been nearly impossible. I ordered my dress almost a year ago and I have not received a single phone call or email to provide me with an update. I have called the store 10 times within the last few months to inquire about my dress and they always say the owner will call me back but she never does. My receipt also didn't have my correct dress designer on it but once I figured that out I reached out to a local shop where I live in NY and they told me the dress was around $4k and Elite charged my more the twice that for the dress. At this point I would really just like to receive a refund and take my business elsewhere.
