Keeping the Iowa bride in mind is a priority at Pure Bridal. Dresses are available in sizes 2-30 and are offered at comparably affordable prices. With a variety of designers, most dresses are available in multiple colors and can even be customized to make the dress perfect for each bride.
Bridal gowns are not the only things to be found at Pure Bridal. They also offer a range of bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride dresses, as well as a wall of beautiful jewelry, accessories, and shoes. A multitude of veils, headpieces, and belts are also available as a way for brides to customize their look. Don’t forget the entire wall of little black dresses and an assortment of tuxedos!
Garment design and construction are also a concern for the owners of the shop. With Kayse’s apparel design degree and Rita’s interior design degree, it’s no wonder these sisters went into business together to create this bridal oasis. Their impeccable attention to proper design and immaculate details has allowed them to select items that will impress their brides. They have chosen a selection of gowns that are flattering and unique. Brides can immerse themselves in beading, lace, organza, and crystals. There are ornate gowns and simpler gowns, ball gowns and fit and flare styles, extravagant details and understated elements. Whichever elements you choose, you’ll be assured by the fact that each gown has been hand-selected based on its quality and design.

Although their focus is on the bride’s look, they can offer connections to their favorite Ames area vendors. Because Kayse and Rita are native to the area they have ties with many local businesses, which gives them the perfect opportunity to help with other aspects of the wedding.
