Our wedding day was a fairy tale, but it wouldn't have been nearly as magical
without the wonderful assistance and wardrobe from Formals of Litchfield!
Many many thanks to Jenn for helping me find the perfect gown
as well as helping the groomsmen with their tuxes!
I felt so unique and special; several people commented that the dress fit my personality perfectly.
Of course, the groomsmen were quite dapper!
Thumbs up to Formals for helping make our dream day come true! :)

When i started looking for my wedding gown i had no idea what i wanted. When i came into formals Paige was awesome and told me that i would found my dress that day, and i did. After trying on every style of dress and about 7 dress, the last dress i tried on was the dress! It was a between the first and last gown i tried on so i put them both back and i realized it was for sure the last dress! Thanks so much Paige for helping me find my perfect wedding gown!!

I had such a wonderful experience at Formals. Jenn was wonderful to work and a huge help in finding me my perfect gown! Jenn and the entire staff at Formals provided me with such a wondering bridal gown shopping experience, I couldn't have been more pleased. I was so incredibly thrilled to have them by my side from the day I found my perfect dress, to the day I walked down the aisle. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, right down to the dress. Everyone loved my gown and was complementing me on how beautiful it was  all night! And my groom was absolutely blown away! Thank you Formals for being such a big part of our special day!

I was a very picky bride when it came to my wedding dress. I knew what I wanted and I visited many wedding shops looking for that one dress. I decided to try Litchfield Formals because it was the place that I got both my senior year prom dress and my pageant gown. My first visit to Litchfield Formals for my wedding dress was the only visit I needed because I found my wedding dress that day. The woman that helped us (sorry, I forgot her name) was amazing at what she did and also at listening to what I wanted in a dress. My wedding dress was the first dress she helped us pick out and it fit like a glove. I couldn't thank Litchfield Formals enough for helping this picky bride find her perfect wedding dress :)

On October 27 I married my best friend and high school sweet heart. It was a beautiful crisp fall day for our outdoor wedding. I got so many compliments on my Rand Evan, Dejanae gown. Everyone thought it was so elegant and unique. It added the perfect touch to our day! Our puppy was a part of our special day so I wanted to share this picture:)

My wedding day was amazing! I found the perfect husband and  Jenn helped me find the perfect dress.  Everyone commented on how amazing and beautiful my dress was.  I also heard "that dress was made for you!"  The favorite part of the dress was the blue ribbon that was placed in the corset.
Thanks Everyone for doing an awesome job at Formals!

The day was so perfect!!! We could not ask for better weather, it was 80 degrees and sunny just awesome!
We had about 275 people share our day with us and had the ceremony at a Methodist Church with several stain glass windows and the reception was at the State Fairgrounds in Springfield. It had all hardwood floors and 8 chandeliers, it was beautiful.

I had several women ask me were I got my dress saying it couldnt be anymore perfect for me and it makes me look timeless! :-) A couple of my friends made the comment where was that dress when I got married.

My wedding day (May 19, 2012) was AMAZING! I had a wonderful dress that looked stunning! Everyone loved my dress and said I looked like a princess (which was the look I was going for). My husband said when he saw me walking up the dock, I took his breath away. Thank you, Formals!! And big thank you to Jenn for helping me find the perfect dress!

Here are some pictures from our November 12th wedding.
I absolutely loved the dress and everyone commented on
how the back of it just glistened as we were standing up at the alter.
The dress and the veil were absolutely perfect.
I appreciated all the help that everyone gave us at Formals, specifically Katie D. :)
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Hi Formals Girls!

It’s hard to believe 7 months ago today I was getting married!
I just wanted to take a second to say THANK YOU for everything that you guys did for me
while I was searching the “the” dress! (Especially Courtney!)
I’m so glad I listened and tried on something I didn’t think I would even like.
That’s the one that turned out to be the perfect dress!
So, thank you again, from the bottom of my heart!
You made dress shopping a great experience, and that’s hard to do with me!
I’ll be in soon to look for a Military Ball gown! Here are a few photos from our special day!

I just wanted to take a minute to Thank You for the wonderful experience and for the thank you and birthday cards! I had th best experience ever! I can not decide between the two gowns and decided since my mother is so far away to allow her the opportunity to choose. I gave her until Monday afternoon to decide. So be looking for my phone all Monday afternoon! Thank you for the amazing experience, you made an otherwise stressful event extremely easy! Look forward to talking to you soon!

The dress was gorgeous and the bridesmaids were just as beautiful. And a special thanks to Courtney for helping Brittany pick out her dress and a very special thanks to Tyanna for helping us through the whole wedding process and always being there to help us get her all dressed up and just for being there!

Sincerely,

I bought my dress from you back in 2003..it may be over now between my ex husband and I but the dress made me feel wonderful that day...I hope to pass it on to my daughter to decide what she wants to have of it for a memory from when her father and I had married. I always suggest people go to you first before anyone else!

My husband & I were married on June 28, 2008. You girls were a delight to work with when I picked out my dress, bridsmaids dresses, as well as the tux's. I received so many complements on my dress!!! I didn't even want to try the dress on because I didn't like the way it looked on the hanger. I will be forever grateful for you guys encouraging me to try it on "just to see". THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
Ashley Rayburn

I got my gown for my 2009 junior prom and i just wanted to say that I was head over heals in love with the dress. It looked amazing and everyone loved it and wanted to know where I got it from. So I'm definitely coming back in a few weeks for my senior prom dress and I know if this year is anything like last year my dress will be amazing!! Thanks so much for helping me find such an amazingly georgous dress.

Now, thanks to you, every time we look back at our pictures or videos, we can see how gorgeous and sophisticated everybody looked! Thank you so much! We will be returning with all of our Formal needs!

My Daughter is a Senior at Granite City High, we heard about your store from a family friend. We were treated like Royalty by your staff. The staff made my daughter feel special and we received amazing service. We bought her homecoming Court dress here (a beautiful red ball gown) and returned this Spring to purchase her May Court Gown. It is STUNNING! She will be the classiest girl on Court :). We plan to return to your store for future college events!

Thanks, Peg Leuo

Dear Formals,

My wedding was back in July of 2005. You took care of my dress (gorgeous Maggie Sottero) and my bridesmaids gowns. All eyes were on me all day. I was comfortable through the ceremony and able to dance all night long. My jewelry, veil, bun wrap, and shoes were also purchased at Formals. Everything came together beautifully. I could not be happier with the way we were treated by Formals' staff and Formals attention to every detail. I reccommend you to all my friends and family. Thanks again for making our day perfect.
