Awesome Bella location! The staff is wonderful. Super helpful and friendly. They really went out of their way as we stumbled through trying to find the right bridesmaids dress. The communication was great, they followed up right away and were easy to get a hold of for questions. They made the ordering process easy too! I had several bridesmaids in different locations with Bella's and this one had the best selection of dresses by far! Danielle, our stylist was great to work with. Highly recommend. read more

My bridesmaids and I had an amazing time shopping at Bella Bridemaids. We found the bridesmaid dresses on the first shop and were able to try on many different options until we found the perfect one. Pick up in the store was super easy and they even gave my bridesmaids a list of tailor recommendations in the area they could go to. My girls looked great on the big day so overall, would highly recommend! read more

I had the best experience here. I'm the bride and I was tempted to try on a bunch of dresses for events I don't even have scheduled yet! Why did this place not exist when I was a bridesmaid? The selection of dresses here is great- for the traditionalist, there are dresses that have that bridesmaid feel, but for someone like me, who truly wants my 'maids to wear those dresses again, they also have modern and stylish gowns. I'm letting each girl pick their own dress, so I went with one and HAD to bring another back just days later. The staff was very helpful and did not feel like they were pushy at all. read more

I came in today to try on 2 styles of bridesmaids' dresses. I'm standing in my cousin's wedding in LA and it's a unique situation because it'll be a wedding with two grooms, so technically I'm a "groomsmaid." The plan is for each of us to choose a style out of the dresses the grooms have picked out for us, and all the groomsmaids will order independently from whatever retailer (different, I know.) Sidenote, Bella Bridesmaid gets bonus points because the sales associate, Jenna, did not miss a beat when she asked me how I know the bride, and I said, "Actually it's two grooms." =) Ok, so fast-forward. I made an appointment yesterday (really easy and friendly service on the phone..I should say this was a weekday appointment though). Jenna was the associate who helped me. I came in by myself for the above reason, and Jenna was friendly and attentive without pressuring me into anything. She also took time to explain the measuring and sizing, wrote down all the information on a piece of paper form and off I went, in just half an hour. They had the 2 dresses pulled for me when I got in, and also had a stock of heels in different sizes to wear while trying on the dresses. I was nervous about coming into a bridal shop in the Mag Mile area...I pretty much don't own anything that's nearly as expensive, but it wasn't pretentious at all. However, I suspect I may get better pricing elsewhere, which makes me sad. The fitting today inspired trust, but I gotta do due-diligence and try at least one more place. If I order from here, I'll update. But for now, I recommend! **UPDATE** I did order from here and had absolutely no problems placing my order, or picking it up. All-around great experience for me; quick easy and unpretentious. read more

Bella Bridesmaids is absolutely the best place for bridesmaid dresses. The staff is absolutely amazing. I can send them 10 emails in one day and they are sooo patient and get back to me within 10 minutes. Their NYC studio is super organized, clean and BIG. Tons of styles, plenty of dressing rooms and lots of space to try on dresses. I cannot say enough. I have 15 bridesmaids, which can be very confusing at times. They helped me organize all along the way. Last minute, I decided to change one of the colors (my bridesmaids have 3 colors) and they changed it with no problem. I also have bridesmaids outside the NYC area and the Bella's, located all over the country, accommodated the out of town gals. As good as it gets! read more

I found a dress for my bridesmaids here and am pleased with the experience. They had a number of choices (silhouette, fabric, etc.) for them to try on, which made it easy to find what I wanted. I actually went with a fabric I'd never seen before. I like that they have "different" things. Lots of beautiful dresses to see. They also picked things within my budget, and have things that range from moderate-pricey. Lydia wasn't especially friendly, but she got the job done. People were nice on the phone whenever I called. We were in and out in maybe an hour. The bridesmaids easily ordered the dresses and I received updates on everyone's status. The store is also pretty. I recommend it. read more

This past Saturday I visited Bella Bridesmaids with my fiancee' and our bridesmaids. I was prepared for an environment that appeared "factory like" as some of the past reviews mentioned, but let me tell you, it's the opposite. It's a beautiful store with beautiful dresses, and our sales associate, Sarah, was fantastic. She worked with us to find out exactly what we were looking for, and no joke, we picked out the dresses in 30 minutes! That's how easy Sarah made it for us. We finished a half hour early so she offered to take the girls measurements so they wouldn't have to come back to the store. She was wonderful, and made our experience what it was. I would encourage all of you brides to give Bella Bridesmaids a chance, we were not disappointed. Thanks! read more

LOVE the dress selection, LOVE the service, so I just LOVE this store!! I never even thought twice about looking elsewhere for bridesmaid dresses. Both of my older sisters used the girls at Bella Bridesmaid for their maid's dresses and had wonderful experiences and so did I! I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted in my maid's dresses but I knew I wanted long dresses and I knew I needed 13 of them (insert laugh for large bridal party). I was able to get a small group of the girls together and we tried on a couple different styles together that I had in mind. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. The sales girl who worked with us, Colleen, was very knowledgeable in all of the designers, fits, and fabrics. At one point we found a style dress we liked but they didn't have an in-store sample of the color we wanted. They were able to show us the color in different styles (same designer) which helped and they even offered to order a sample size of that dress so I was able to better see what it looked like in person! I felt that the store was VERY accommodating with my indecisiveness and helped me find the perfect blush gown for my girls. Since Colleen knew I had 13 maids, she told me to hold off until the designer was offering a discount -- saved us a good amount!! We had a two week window to order the dresses (if we wanted a discount) and the sales girls were so good with keeping me up to date about what I needed to get done and when! I ended up doing different gowns for my Maids of Honor and bella let me bring in a dress (from a different store) into theirs to hold it up to the dresses I placed an order with. They even offered their personal opinion when asked and it was SO helpful! Overall I loved the selection of dresses--and if they don't carry something in the store they always have catalogs that can show you what they can order! I have already recommended bella bridesmaid to coworkers, friends, and family and i won't stop. Its the go-to shop for all chicago brides (oh and did I mention they have locations everywhere in the US so if you have an out of state bride she can go to the store near her!) VERY happy bride over here :) read more

Came here for bridesmaids for my sister in law to be's wedding. Everything was just ok, until..... after we received the dresses. My dress was not as the sample that we tried on! The dress had a completely different design, and several other girls in the party who also had the same style were ill fitting. First - all dresses were not the same length. I know being a bridesmaid in several weddings, that the dresses usually come one standard length - then you hem it as needed. But these were all random lengths. Several of us had problems with construction. After multiple complaints from the bride, we had to buy our own boxes and go to the nearest UPS store to return (they did give us pre paid return labels). After all of that right before the wedding, they sent us pictures of our dresses on mannequins saying there was nothing wrong! We received them back, asked for a refund since we were completely dissatisfied and were denied a refund or any type of compensation for alterations. All we wanted was the dress we originally tried on, or at least be told there was a design change. read more

This was my first time shopping for a bridesmaid dress and Moria made it a breeze! I was in and out in 20 min, and got the dress I wanted for even cheaper than I expected. read more

I had the opportunity to hear Kathline (the owner) true colors over the phone. As we were overcoming a minor glitch in the billing process of my Bridesmaids dress she failed to take ownership of her mistake and lack of communication amongst her employees. I had spoken with her and an employee and asked them not to call past 7PM due to having two young children. The note either did not get put into the system or was not read. I was called again past 7PM. After clearing the issue with billing as of Friday, today (Tuesday) Kathline (the owner called tonight) started to explain I was about to be charged a penalty and that the same issues we were dealing with on Friday had not been cleared up. Long story short Kathline began to get short with me when I told her I had this issue resolved and possibly she needed to speak with her employees since there seemed to be a lack of communication within them. I then reitterated to please not call past 7P.M. Kathline responded with "excuse me but where am I calling again?" in a tone that was questioning why it would be too late to call. I proceeded to say I would just assume everything went smooth unless I hear otherwise. Kathline said " I do not know because I have no notes of this being cleared up" at that point I clearly don't know what to say besides I think you need to speak with Sarah whom I spoke with earlier on the phone. Kathline was silent. I then asked "what is your name again?" She said "Kathline, the OWNER" in a powerful snotty attitude. Now listen, I am a business owner myself, the customer is always right, no matter the pride you have, the frustration you have and I but you if someone spent over $3,000 with me glitch or no glitches, I will be treating them like a Queen. I have a wedding coming up in November and will not be using Bella Bridesmaids even though I was highly reccomended by family. It's sad to see someone who has simply taken advantage of their business ownership and turned it into a power of authroity. If you don't love what you do, or at least like working with people, don't be in the profession. There are other options out there. Thanks Kathline but you will NOT have any referrals from me to deal with your inconciderate and degrading tone of voice. read more

This was by far the best place I visited while shopping for a wedding dress. They're sweet and helpful, the place is cozy and fun and bright. The dresses are diverse and lovely. Definitely highly recommended. read more

I stood up in a wedding in which the bride chose a dress from Bella Bridesmaid. The dresses were outrageously priced, but I guess that is to be expected from an upscale boutique. I understand that if the bride has expensive taste, this may be the place for her. My major disappointment, however, was in the quality of the product. When I went to try on dresses, they didn't have my size in any styles that even resembled my dress. It made it difficult to decide what to order. I was measured by a staff member, and she told me that my hips were a size 0, my waist was a size 2, and my bust was a size 12 (!). I have run into this problem when shopping for clothes before, but never to this extent. I am not an extremely disproportionate person, so it was very disappointing to be told that they didn't make anything that would have a chance of fitting. I was instructed to buy a size 12, but after being a bridesmaid several times I know better than to listen and ordered a size 8. I received the dress, and it fit perfectly in the bust but was absolutely huge everywhere else (good thing I didn't order the 12). It seems that it was made for someone who's entire body is the same circumference as their bust. To make matters worse, Bella Bridesmaid doesn't do alterations. I took it to have it altered and the charged me another $100 to make the dress fit as well as possible. My dress seemed to be very cheaply made. One of the other bridesmaids in this wedding received her dress and the hem along the neckline was completely crooked (it is supposed to be boat-neck so it was very noticeable) so the entire front of the dress puckered in strange places and couldn't be fixed. Not what you would expect after paying several hundred dollars for a dress. Overall, the atmosphere and staff is very nice. The boutique is very cute and the staff is friendly. However, I would absolutely never return here because of the poor quality of the dresses and the exorbitant prices. read more

I highly recommend going to Bella Bridesmaid! Dresses are on the pricey side, but everything else makes up for that. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. They do whatever they can to make the wedding day run smoothly. Two hours before friends wedding, the zipper on my bridesmaid's dress broke. I went there in a panic and Erin calmed me down. She had a tailor lined up to fix the zipper and also had a loaner dress in the same color waiting just in case (luckily we were all wearing different styles of the same color dress) What could have been a big disaster turned out to be a tiny little speed bump. Thanks, Bella Bridesmaid! read more

I cannot say enough about how great our shopping experience was at Bella Bridesmaid! Not only did Erin and her staff make us feel totally comfortable, they knew exactly what they were doing. We all had different body types....but never did any of us feel uncomfortable....not only did we all find dresses we loved but the bride found hers as well! I have been to many shops and by far this was the best experience! I would highly recommend this shop! read more

I loved everything about Bella Bridesmaid. I loved the cute show room they have with all of their dresses on display. Such a fun place to visit with a few of your bridesmaids. They have a huge selection and lots of helpful staff. Colleen was the best. Very down to earth and knowledgeable. Totally understood the look I was going for and pulled a few dress options from which we chose the perfect one. I love how organized their ordering process was and how everything could be settled via email (my preferred method of contact). They were also very accommodating when one of my bridesmaids, who became pregnant shortly after ordering her dress, found her dress to be far too tight upon arrival. Within one week of contacting Colleen, we had a replacement. If you are looking for bridesmaid dresses your bridesmaids will actually want to wear, then this is the place to go ;) read more

Allie is the savior! I had a misfit with my bridesmaid dress and Allie did everything in her power to fix it. Always double check your measurements and the sizing (no matter where you go). I wish I would have done that because it would have avoided a dress issue. But Allie was really great in fixing it and being very prompt to respond. Furthermore, I know the designer was really helpful with her as well. Overall, I'd recommend! read more

I highly recommend Bella Bridesmaids to any bride. The entire experience gets my highest regards. I went there with two of my bridesmaids and we had a blast. The staff was very professional and it was comforting to know that the staff knew what they were doing and knew what they were talking about. It was obvious that they are versed in the industry and could be trusted. They did not try to "sell" us at all and were the furthest thing from pushy. That was, of course, very much appreciated. There was a VERY wide array of dresses to try on and the staff was happy to pull other dresses as we continued to come up with new ideas. There were several dresses that we loved. The black Monique Lhuillier dress that we ended up choosing was definitely a talking point at the wedding--all the girls looked fantastic. The store itself is super cute and was somewhere I could have spent all weekend at. Lastly, the staff made the entire ordering process SO easy...which was such a relief given the overwhelming amount of other wedding tasks to be taken care of! I can't say enough good things about Bella BM. It's definitely a must! read more

I was worried about how my experience would go at Bella Bridesmaids, after recently having been turned away by a different wedding boutique because my bride wasn't buying her dress from them. However, I had an excellent experience finding a bridesmaid dress at Bella Bridesmaids. Despite the fact that I arrived 25 minutes early for my appointment, Megan quickly began helping me. She helped me to see what style of dress flattered my figure the best, and then loaded me up with dresses to try. In the end I had several that I loved, and had to narrow down my choices! I could not have been so successful without the help and guidance that Megan provided, and I would absolutely recommend Bella Bridesmaids to anyone looking for a dress! read more

Eileen is absolutely amazing! She's extremely helpful and knows a lot about all the different options for dresses. I was trying on Joanna August dresses for my friend's wedding and went to the Bella Bridesmaids on Delaware not once, not twice but THREE times (needless to say I was overthinking which style to get and kept second guessing the ones I originally liked). Eileen helped me all three times I went in and was always SO nice and accommodating to getting me the styles I wanted to try. On top of that, she gave her true feedback on the ones she thought looked best (which was SUPER helpful, and needed, since I was being the most wishy-washy person ever when it came to deciding on a dress:) Thanks a million to Eileen for all her help! read more

The customer is the number one priority at Bella Bridesmaid in Chicago. From the second you walk into the gorgeous showroom you are treated like a queen. The staff truly understands that everyone walking into the store is going to be apart of something important- a friend's wedding, sisters wedding, special event, etc. I have been there to shop for multiple weddings including my own. I love their options. They have a wonderful selection of dresses that fit the style of any bride. If you are looking for a place to find a bridesmaid dress, look no further. You will not be disappointed! read more

I purchased all of my bridesmaids dresses from Bella Bridesmaids this year. I did 14 different dresses all in different styles. The experience was so fun and their location in Chicago is adorable. They have tons of dresses and designers. I showed the girls a picture of the look I was going for prior to my appointment. Upon our arrival (Brittany & Emily) had tons of options for my MOH to try on. They were wonderful helping me find the designers, styles & colors I was going for. The dresses all came in on time, the colors, styles, sizes were all exactly what the girls ordered. I would highly recommend Bella Bridesmaids, they are very prompt on responses, very accommodating to my 14 bridesmaids and myself (the bride). They were so friendly, professional, welcoming and overall just awesome to work with. Thank you all again, you made the experience so exciting and memorable for me. The dresses turned out incredible! read more

Bella Bridesmaids - Bridal Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I can't say enough wonderful things about Bella Bridesmaid! I purchased my bridesmaid dress here in April 2016 for an October 2016 wedding. I had to order the dress in April, weeks after finding out I was pregnant with my first and needed to select a size and style that would fit me at the end of October when I would be 34 weeks pregnant. I was panicking. The staff at Bella was incredibly helpful! I came into the store and spoke to Erin, the owner. She was wonderful, so reassuring and helped me find the best size/style. I wore the dress last weekend, and it worked out perfectly! I had to do slight alternations, as expected because of my height and I ordered up in case. Bella also recommended several tailors, including the one I used. Bella made the whole process very easy. I highly, highly recommend them! read more

We had an amazing experience at Bella Bridesmaid! I made the appointment somewhat last minute (3 months before the wedding) and while other places wouldn't take my request for an appointment because of the tight timing, they did. We worked with Mariah and she was incredible! She made my bridesmaids feel super comfortable the entire time, had some great suggestions, and she KNEW HER STUFF! If they tried on a dress and wanted a different color, but a similar neckline, and a specific material, she knew exactly what they had and where to find it. They had a huge selection too and made ordering a seamless process. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Always a bridesmaid... I was finally a bride, but decided to elope! I have ordered bridesmaids through them and am always super satisfied... I also send friends and clients there and here nothing but great things! Glad to have a place I can confidently send friends for something that is hard to find. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Carly- She's absolutely phenomenal! I went in a few times both with bridesmaids and without, and every appointment was spectacular. Even during the first appointment that was full of bridesmaids and mothers' opinions, the entire staff was patient. We all felt comfortable and at ease to make a decision. It took me a while to narrow down my options, but Carly helped me achieve my vision in an effortless way. The variety of dresses makes the selection process seamless, as there's no lack of color, style, or material. I HIGHLY recommend Bella Bridesmaids for your bridal party needs! read more

Well unfortunately my first-ever Yelp review is not going to be a positive one. My brother is getting married this fall and my future sister-in-law had her bridesmaids (11 of us) shop for our dresses at Bella Bridesmaids. I'll preface this review by saying the shopping/picking out our dresses process was wonderful. There is a huge selection of dresses, every girl was able to find a dress that she liked, and the sales people were very helpful. No complaints there. My (huge) issue with this store was after I received my dress. I picked up my dress from the store, which I paid over $250 for, and went home pretty excited about it given how great our in-store experience was. As soon as I tried on the dress I noticed several issues. The dress was tugging awkwardly in several places, like it was sewn unevenly and much too quickly, and the boning in the bodice of the dress was off. Given the fact this is literally my only sibling's wedding, as well as the fact I spent $250 on a dress meant to be high-quality, I bought it back into the store to see what they could do to fix it. I tried on the dress and spoke with a couple of saleswomen, both who agreed the dress was not up to standards and it did look like the sewing was uneven. One salesgirl mentioned she could even tell when I wasn't wearing the dress, and commented how they have had several issues with this designer (Hayley Paige) in the past. So I thought ok great, glad we're all on the same page and this is going to get fixed, still no complaints. They sent back my dress to the designer and told me they would give me updates after they heard back. So it had been a couple of weeks and I followed-up mentioning that if the designer was unable to fix the dress, or if there was any other issues, we should definitely try to replace the dress as soon as possible. Once again, this is my only sibling's wedding and I obviously wanted to look good, and the wedding was about 7 weeks away. I received a response saying no worries, the designer had responded and was sending my dress next week and I could pick it up Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around, I go to pick up my dress and the salesgirl essentially tried to shoo me out the door now that I had my fixed dress. Well by now I obviously I learned from the first time to try on the dress in the store, so I said no that's ok, let me just go try on my dress to make sure everything looks good. And oh god it DID NOT look good. The "fixed" dress made the issues I had with the dress prior look like a minor snag. The bodice had been resewn in such a way that the sweetheart top of my dress literally folded over showing the inside of the material. Material was bunched around the waist in an awkward fold. I mean honestly it just did not look good - the dress looked very cheap and it was just not something you would want to wear standing up in wedding, taking hundreds of pictures. And the salesgirls knew it. As this is probably the longest Yelp review ever, I will get to the reason I am giving this store 1 star. Given the fact my overpriced dress looked awful, and everyone within a 15 foot vicinity could see it, I would expect a high-end boutique to make some sort of concession or offer some sort of alternative to help alleviate the situation. I was told "if the designer doesn't see an issue with the dress, there is nothing we can do about it". I have no issue spending a lot of money on clothing, probably have an issue with spending too much money on clothing, but never in my life would I spend almost $300 on a dress that was so substandard on quality. Any high end department store in the city would be appalled that a designer had provided them not once, but twice, with such a flawed dress. I am a very easy-going person but I could not believe that the salesgirls in the store could sit there and tell me "maybe just go get it tailored to try to get it fixed". At one point I looked at the girl helping me and said "I'm sorry but you cannot honestly tell me that the dress I am wearing right now is the same quality as the sample dress I tried on when I was ordering". She literally looked at me and had to walk away because she had nothing to say. Oh, and finally I'll note that I didn't tell the Bride about the dress issue, because I didn't want to stress her out, but ironically enough I sat next to her sister at the shower who in confidence told me that her dress was also awful, with the exact same issues. And her other sister's dress was also awful. Like I said it's unfortunate that I have to sit here and slam this store but if you are going to sell a "high-quality" product you better match it with high-quality customer service. If your designer isn't up to scratch, then you make up for it and deal with them later. I cannot and will not ever recommend this store to any friend or colleague of mine. If you do shop at this store, I recommend you discuss with your salesperson their stance on quality and do not order a dress from Hayley Paige. read more

Everyone in the store was very nice and helpful. The bridesmaid dresses were perfect for the wedding day. I would definitely recommend Bella Bridesmaids! read more

I loved working with Bella Bridesmaids for ordering dresses for my wedding. Bella Bridesmaids was wonderful to work with for picking and ordering dresses for my 5 bridesmaids. I went with my bridesmaids 7 months in advance of the wedding and they were very clear about the timeline and how quickly to order to be sure to get all the dresses in time for the wedding. Before bringing my bridesmaids, my mom and I went in and worked with Celine who was wonderful. Celine understood exactly what I was looking for and helped me narrow down the options. She had a bubbly personality and was very knowledgeable about weddings and dresses. After meeting with Celine, I was able to bring in 4 of my bridesmaids who then tried on the several dresses and Celine was helpful in guiding us to a decision on a great dress. It was a seamless process because we worked with Celine both times and she remembered my opinions. My out of town bridesmaid was able to go to the Little Rock location for her measurements and try on the dress. It was wonderful! Even after the whole trying on process, we never felt pressured to buy the dresses from Bella Bridesmaids. The dresses we tried on were reasonably priced (in the $200 range) and with one bridesmaid out of state, it was great that they could ship to both Chicago and other states. I was also impressed with how quickly they could ship the swatch to me to help with color choices and the dresses ended up coming ahead of schedule. My bridesmaids were very happy with their dresses, as well as the service of Bella Bridesmaid, and so was I. I would be happy to work with them again. read more

This is the worst experience I have ever had in a store. They do not know how to take measurements, they do not know how to order dreses, and they do not know how to speak to customers. Truthfully I do not know how any of these girls have jobs. They took my measurements wrong twice and ordered me the wrong dress size multiple times for the same wedding and did not apologize once, and acted as if it was my fault. I asked them to measure me, not perform brain surgery. Selling dresses is not difficult, so when an error is made it should be fixed, not duplicated. It is hard to fathom that people who actually have difficult jobs in meaningful professions in finance, law, and medicine, can do their jobs right, but somehow selling dresses is a difficult feat for the people who work in bella bridesmaid. I had heard horror stories of this place prior to using it, and now I understand why. In addition to not knowing how to sell dresses, they are rude, and think they are really special? Totally bizarre. I will say they are great at strutting around the store and thinking they are important. No one I know will ever use them again. read more

Brides beware--although the selection here is great the service is terrible. After receiving dresses, one did not fit at all and their response was "sorry." There were no offers to help. When we called around to other stores around the country to find a sample or replacement, we received a super rude message from the employees of this store. Only after a ton of prompting and work on our own did they help us find a replacement dress from another store. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I came in on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment. I had every intention of just browsing as I just wanted to get some ideas for my sister's wedding for this spring who is allowing us to pick our own dresses. Erin greeted me and my Mom right away and asked how she could help. I mentioned I had no appointment and was not planning on trying anything on, knowing that it's difficult without an appointment and was a very busy weekend day for them. She spent time asking me what I was looking for in a style and immediately started grabbing great options and found an open fitting room that we were able to use. She made the experience so enjoyable and was so helpful and accommodating. You can tell she cares about her jobs and clients--I would definitely recommend working with her! read more

We didn't end up purchasing here, but the girl we worked with (Maureen) was cold and I felt like she didn't want to be dealing with my bridesmaids and I. I was even trying on bridal dresses there! Also, she measured my bridesmaids for the dresses we did end up getting from them (elsewhere) and they were horribly wrong. My other two bridesmaids who were measured elsewhere fit perfectly in their dresses, but the two measured at Bella were measured three inches smaller than they are. Needless to say, their dresses did not fit. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here because they have relatively good reviews on yelp. Melissa was the consultant for me and my 'maids, and while she was nice, I felt like she wasn't listening to our needs. We told her that each girl wanted to wear a different style of dress (and we listed out the exact styles) and then she only gave us all strapless dresses and one one-shoulder dress. We then repeated our desire to try on multiple styles and she seemed confused. When I called to make my initial appointment, I told the employee exactly what I was looking for - color and everything. But that information was obviously not passed along to our consultant. Why waste our time since the appointment is only limited to an hour? I also wasn't allowed to take a sample color/fabric swatch with me. They also forgot to bring us our coats at the conclusion of our appointment, so we sat there for about 5 minutes thinking someone was getting our coats, but they weren't. I just expected a lot more from this store. read more

I have been working with Carly and so far I am very impressed! She is super friendly and made me feel at ease. I was a little nervous being a plus size bridesmaid that nothing would fit me there (and I've heard stories about boutiques making you feel bad if you're anything more than a size 10) but she found dresses for me to try on and I didn't feel judged at all. When another bridesmaid came in and could hear our conversation, she pointed at sizes on the piece of paper to describe my order instead of saying the numbers out loud which I thought was very classy as to not make me feel self-conscious (I think any bridesmaid would appreciate this, plus size or not!). I haven't received my dress yet but again, so far it's been a very positive experience. read more

When my dress came in it was HUGE. I had to have it tailored so much that it now doesn't look like the original dress. My dress looked so much different than the rest of the bridesmaids. Also Bella told me my dress did not come w/ pockets. When the dress arrived....it had pockets! They did not lay flat and made me look wider than I am. They were rude and condescending in trying to resolve the issue of the dress being too big (even though I requested a small size and they HIGHLY recommended against it) and for the mistake of adding pockets. They also refused to get me a new dress, they said the only solution was getting it tailored. My advise... pick a different place! read more

My experience with Bella bridesmaid wasn't a happy one. I went to Bella in search of a pair of shoes to wear with my wedding gown. I found a cute pair that I liked and ordered them in a size 10 which is the size I always wear. I picked the shoes up got home and tried them on turns out they don't fit at all. I called Bella to ask them if I could exchange them for another size. They in turn told me that they could only offer me 30% off another pair of shoes with the return of the ones I got. The shoes were over a hundred dollars. That is unacceptable so I'm now I'm stuck with a pair of brand new unworn ivory wedding shoes. read more

The dress that was ordered was around 12 inches too long and they do not do hemming in house. Do not understand what the point of going in for a sizing is if they do not take this in consideration. read more
