Highly recommend coming to Hopes Bridal. Moriah was amazing and so helpful and really makes you feel beautiful in everything you try on. The environment is refreshing with how friendly and loving they all are. This is just a wonderful experience overall, ran by an amazing group of people as well.

Hope’s bridal did a fantastic job back in 1997 for our wedding, fast forward to 2024 and our daughter said yes to the dress at Hope’s. Their staff is off the charts amazing, great service, small town attention to detail. Can’t beat their service, 50 years of excellence.

After I got off the phone with my stylist, Ariel, I had a very good feeling about Hope’s Bridal and after arriving for my appointment, my expectations were not only met, but blown away.
First, the shop is located in a giant Pink barn. Who doesn’t love that?! It is clean, bright, and filled with good, positive energy.
Second, Each employee my group interacted with was LOVELY! When I started trying dresses on, they were cheering me on and pumping me up (which can be overwhelming but trust me, they left it to my stylist when necessary).
Third, Ariel had dresses already pulled for me when I arrived based on our few email exchanges and a quick phone call. She allowed me to put the dresses on without being in the dressing room with me, then helped me walk out to the “Front Stage” area to show my group. I felt like a Super Model of the World being on the stage no matter what dress I had on. Hope’s Bridal knows how to make a bride feel beautiful.
My dress was dress number 3. She knew it, I knew it, my group knew it too. We tried on a few dresses after that but after none of them packed the punch that dress #3 had, Ariel said “Let’s put your dress back on.” And the rest is history.
The purchasing process was quick, simple, and transparent. Ariel and the staff at Hope’s answered all of my questions in a compassionate and respectful manner, and truly made me feel special from the moment my appointment started to the very end.
Oh, and also, they did not rush my appointment or try to hurry me along. My stylist didn’t rush away to help someone else, answer the phone, or process another bride. She was dedicated to me and my time and that made a huge differences for me.
The small-town, family atmosphere of Hope’s Bridal is unlike any other bridal shop I’ve been to. They care about their brides. I HIGHLY recommend Hope’s in Atkins to find your dress.

My mom bought her wedding dress at Hope's back in 1994 and I knew before getting engaged I would look for my dress here after seeing her beautiful dress and to start a family tradition. At first, I was hesitant to come to Hope's because I had done no research on dress shops near Cedar Rapids, and had only gone off my mom's prior experience. I was absolutely blown away by the whole experience!

Setting up an appointment was super easy and there was a very quick turn around time between when I requested online, Ariel calling me to confirm, and actually getting into the shop.

They immediately set you up for success with an email survey about what you want, don't want, your vision, what size clothing you wear, etc. There was no time wasted, the process was very smooth and not stressful whatsoever.

After trying several on, I said "yes to the dress" and didn't even consider looking at other stores. Ariel did a wonderful job helping me through the process and listening to what I wanted and didn't want. She was very attentive to my body language and was my cheerleader and advocate the whole way through. They were very thoughtful on pricing and discounts and were just overall a wonderful business to work with. I can't wait to work with them through the rest of the process and hopefully come back with family and friends in the future!

I got engaged right as the pandemic started and we went on lockdown. Ariel brought all of the dresses that I liked to my home and stayed in her car while I tried them on. She would get out and come to my front porch when I had them on and would give me her opinion on them. She was amazing. When I was done trying on 10-11 dresses and didn't feel like they were "the one," she told me about this dress (that was WAY out of my price range) but that she thought would be perfect and fit me like a glove. WELP, she was right. They gave me a discount on it since it didn't need any alterations, it was perfect. They were super supportive and held the dress for the two years until our wedding and I was able to try it on whenever I wanted as long as I called ahead. They always made me feel beautiful and supported, even when, after I had an injury and gained weight--and couldn't fit into my dress--they had my back. And when I came back several months later, ready to try it in again, they were just as emotional as I was. It was amazing. Could not have had a better experience with my wedding dress search and experience. It and Hope's was amazing and I will forever be thankful that I worked with this wonderful team of women.

I would highly recommend Hope's Bridal! I purchased my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses through them and had a wonderful experience. They have a huge selection of various sizes, colors, and styles. All of their associates are very knowledgeable and able to recommend dresses based on budget or style. I didn't even bother going anywhere else to shop because I trusted Hope's Bridal and felt very comfortable. Thank you for a great experience!

Hope's Bridal was wonderful! I purchased my wedding dress of my dreams and my mom's mother-of-the-bride dress. I had a very specific vision and Hope's made sure my dress was perfect! I also purchased my dress and veil from Hope's Bridal. I live some distance away from Hope's and they worked with me to schedule appointments that accommodated my schedule. The consultants were all so nice every time we were at the pink barn!

When I got engaged and started looking for wedding dresses, I knew I needed to start my journey at Hope's Bridal! They have hundreds of dresses in a wide range of sizes for you to try on and at my appointment, I didn't feel rushed at all - my stylist listened to each detail I liked or didn't like about the different dresses and was quick to pick up on my mannerisms, so she knew right away how I was feeling! I felt very cared for throughout the process of trying on dresses, ordering my dress and veil (both of which were incredibly fairly priced), and alterations too. Although I had to drive two hours one way to go see them, it was absolutely worth it!
