As a plus size bride I was so nervous and scared I wouldn’t find anything I like in my size …Erynn is amazing! She has so many options for different sizes and makes you feel special and amazing! My experience at Embody was amazing!

Let me preface this that the worker/owner is very nice and tender. I came as a guest for my bestie. There is a decent dress selection, but not a large CUTE dress selection. Plenty of ugly dresses but not many pretty dresses. That is the designer's fault, not the store's fault but we were not happy with the selection here.

Erynn is amazing. She made the wedding dress shopping process so fun and did everything she could to help me look and feel my best in every dress without being pushy. Several other shops just held the dresses in place rather than clipping them, it makes a huge difference to be able to see what the dresses would look and feel like to know if it is yours. Will be recommending everyone I know to go to Embody for their dress. I really appreciate both Erynn and her designers willingness to tweak dresses to fit what the bride has in mind when possible. As well as being able to get a sketch of what the dress would look like after the changes. Its both a great keepsake and an inexpensive investment in piece of mind. I'm so happy I found my dress with her, but I would have still left her a 5-star review even if I didn't!

I absolutely loved my dress from Embody Bridal. I had gone to many other bridal stores in the Iowa City / Cedar Rapids area before falling in love with my dress (and this store). Everything is by appointment only, so you (and any of your friends/family) get the whole store to yourselves to look through the impressive dress collection and get individualized help trying them on. Erynn was very flexible with the appointment times and gave such great support and advice during the whole trying-on process. There were dresses from many different brands and from countless styles, and at reasonable prices. I got my customized dress from Casablanca 7 months after ordering it (which matched the timeline Erynn told me in the beginning). I would absolutely recommend Embody Bridal to any bride in the Cedar Rapids area!

I was so nervous to buy my wedding dress. Being plus sized, I was afraid it would only be about my weight and what she could squeeze me in. That was soooo not the case for Embody Bridal. Erynn is absolutely wonderful. I felt cared for, heard, and respected. She never talked about sizes until it came to measure me for my dress. It was absolutely the bridal experience I needed and I felt so beautiful.I could not recommend Erynn or Embody Bridal more. 10/10

After being at 3 other shops and feeling like there was no hope. Embody made me feel beautiful, hard to decide on one dress.

Embody Bridal is without a doubt one of the best bridal shops around. The owner, Erynn, goes above and beyond to make brides feel amazing and offers a great shopping experience. I recently found my wedding dress here and cannot be more excited for my big day thanks to the wonderful experience at Embody.

I had the most wonderful experience finding my wedding dress at Embody! Erynn makes finding a dress such a personalized experience and truly just wants to help brides find something that they are most excited to wear on their big day. She is so honest and helpful, answering all of the questions you can possibly think of about finding “the one”. I highly recommend any bride to make this their first stop for finding their dress!

I cannot say enough good things about Erynn and her store. Every single dress was thoughtfully selected and stunning. Based on what I described, she knew exactly what dress to put me in, but still let me try on everything in the store that I wanted before presenting her choice. Of course, her choice, which I tried on last, was absolutely perfect and exactly what I will be wearing on my wedding day. I never once felt rushed or like she was just looking for a sale. Her body inclusivity made her store a breath of fresh air. If you're in the market, you'd be remiss not to give Erynn a shot at helping you find your dream dress.

The appointment was very easy to schedule, and the owner graciously accommodated all of our needs. My BFF- the bride - was tickled with her attention to detail, thoughtful comments, selection, and entire experience. We were both nervous as this is our first time planning a wedding and dress shopping, and it was a memorable, wonderful experience. Thank you SO MUCH! I can't wait to visit when I plan my wedding :)

Loved every minute of my appointment! Erynn made the experience so easy, and ultimately found my dress! I had the entire store to my family and I to look at dresses and attention was all on me when trying on. It will be an experience I truly won’t forget!

Embody Bridal is a gorgeous shop filled with beautiful dresses that span a variety of different styles. My mom and I were extremely impressed with Erynn (the owner), as she was bubbly, extremely kind, down-to-earth and not "pushy" at all. We went to a few other bridal shops, and Embody Bridal easily provided the best experience. From the ambiance in the shop to the selection of dresses to Erynn's attention to detail - we were absolutely blown away. I highly encourage Eastern Iowa brides to go to Embody - I found my dress there and am confident others will say yes to the dress at Embody as well!
