First and foremost, my experience at this shop was beyond wonderful. I emailed the shop at 5:30 on a Friday requesting an afternoon appointment for the next day. Joe, the owner, responded promptly and said to come on in. He later emailed saying I could come earlier if I wanted. I had an appointment elsewhere first so I kept my appointment. In my email I told them that my wedding was 10 weeks away and I did not have a large budget. Both were not a problem. Had a terrible experience at our first place. But once we (my mother, mother in law, and daughter) arrived we were treated beautifully. I gave them all details of my event and she had the moms seated comfortably in a waiting area. My daughter, Fredricka our consultant and I went to search for dresses. This woman was so incredible at picking what she knew would look best on me, within my budget, and for my daytime garden wedding. I ended up with a beautiful French lace gown not a penny over budget. I never even knew I liked a lace gown, but it was PERFECT!! Once you decide, there is a huge celebration with champagne for everyone in your party. Then Joe comes to take pictures for you. Amazing way to end this part of the planning. I highly recommend Bellissima Bridal for whatever your bridal needs are. Simply perfect!!! read more

Bellissima Bride - I said yes! Great experience at Bellissima Bride! - Bridal Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

While I currently live in Seattle, I wanted to make sure I had the experience of shopping for my wedding dress with my mom back home in South Florida. Bellissima Bride was the last stop during a quick three-day weekend trip to Florida. As the saying goes, we saved the best for last. I made an appointment for a Sunday morning, which was great because we were the only customers in the store. Brittany was very friendly and helpful; she listened to what I was envisioning for my dress and made great suggestions. Joe was very nice, offering champagne and water to all of us. The dress I chose was the very last one I tried on -- and it was based on their suggestion. Seeing what I was liking and trying on, they recommended one to me and the second I put it on, I knew it was the one! It was so well worth the trip! Thanks to Brittany and Joe for helping me find THE dress! :-) read more

I don't consider myself your typical bride as I never dreamed of my wedding dress, and I never really "got" the excitement that many girls have over picking out their dress. I went to one bridal salon, and it was pretty underwhelming. They could tell I needed options and I needed to go to a place with a lot of selection. The bridal salon they sent me to was Bellisima Bridal. They have an amazing range of beautiful dresses at affordable prices. I gave them my budget, and they brought me out about 20 dresses to choose from. All were beautiful and they made me feel like a true bride. I really felt the excitement from then on! I wanted something a bit unique, so they worked with me to alter the dress I picked out, to make it more my style. Since they have been around forever, they had great tips for me with the dress and it came out so beautiful. At my wedding, everyone kept telling me how I looked like a princess or a movie star. I highly recommend Bellisima Bridal, and I thank them for making me a beautiful bride who absolutely LOVED her wedding dress! read more

Bellissima Bride - Bridal Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

Just bought my dress here. Megan helped me and was fantastic. I showed her a picture of what I had in mind and she was able to find me the perfect dress. It was such a pleasant experience! Highly recommend shopping here! read more

The staff here was not welcoming at all. Completely RUDE!! When I went in the dressing room to try 2 dresses on at 4:45pm on a staurday, the girl told me "you better hurry up" This is not how i want to be treated when shopping for my special wedding day. I would seriously think again before you walk into this crappy bridal shop. The staff cares more about closing the store and getting out of there than customer service. I will gladly spend my thousands elsewhere. read more

Best bridal shop!! The employees were amazing I went in not having a clue of what kind of dress I wanted, the girl who helped me picked out some dresses along with my bridesmaids. I picked the second dress I tried on which was what the employee picked out for me. It was such a great experience they gave us all champagne and celebrated with us. Alterations was accommodating and just made the experience less stressful. read more

This is the best bridal store around!!! I had shopped the entire day for a dress and had gone to other stores and Bellissima Bride was last! We were a group of 8 ladies and they were so kind to accommodate us in one of their dress viewing spots! The customer service was exceptional the whole time and they were very personable! What I loved most was their dress selection is endless and the quality is far more than what a lot of other stores offer. They had strapless, halter, short sleeves, long sleeves, long dresses, short dresses, and just everything you can imagine! They were so honest from the start and really let you try as many dresses as you would like. I am forever thankful for everything they have done and I truly loved my dress! I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Spent a solid 2 hours in this shop while my two nieces tried on wedding gowns. The customer service is outstanding. The staff is friendly and warm. We had a wonderful experience. Dress prices are quite reasonable. They have a great selection. read more

By far this has been the best place I've been to with great quality dresses at an affordable price. I've been to the white dress, Patricia South bridal, dave and bridal and a few other shops and by far this one is the best. I wanted a true lace gown and all the other places laughed when I said near 1000. They all said those gowns will cost me 1600 plus. Bellissima had the best selection of what I dreamed of wearing on my wedding day and they were so helpful and kind. Thank you so much. I wish I went there 1st and no where else. I will always recommend this place to any of my friend, family or any one looking for a bridal gown. I added a photo of the dress read more

I can only say good things about Bellissima Bride! At first I was a little hesitant as I had a horrible experience at a different bridal store, but as soon as I walked through the door all hesitations went away! I felt so welcomed form the very beginning, both the owner and my consultant (Zakie) were soooo nice and attentive (not only towards me but also with my party). Zakie really listened to what I wanted and encouraged me to try different types of dresses. After trying a couple of dresses and having some champagne I said yes to the perfect dress!!!! I can't wait for my dress to get here and for my fitting appointments. If you are looking for a "small" family oriented boutique with great customer service, tons of options and reasonable prices then this is the place to visit!! read more

This was the first salon I went to try gowns on at. The experience was great, but I wasn't able to find the dress I was looking for. After doing some research online, I found a dress I liked and called Bellissima to see if they had it, and they didn't. I was disappointed because they did carry the designer, just not the style I was looking for and told me that they could order it for me if I paid for it. I hadn't tried it on yet so I wasn't about to throw a couple thousand dollars at a dress I hadn't seen in person! This lead me to Boca Raton Bridal. They had my dress, they were actually the only store in South Florida who carried the style! So I ended up purchasing my dress from there, even though the overall experience wasn't as great. My dress came in and now its time to do fittings. I haven't heard the greatest reviews on the seamstress at Boca Bridal and have heard amazing things about Bellissima's tailor. Bellissima's website says that they take outside gowns, just at a higher price. That part was a little irritating but I want my dress to fit perfectly so I was willing to pay whatever the cost was. I called them to make an appointment and get pricing but the girl on the phone rudely told me they don't take outside brides anymore. This is a huge disappointment and not the type of service I was expecting from Bellissima, especially since they advertise that they take outside dresses!! Moral of the story: hopefully they carry your dream dress and you aren't forced to go somewhere else because of their limited selection. Also, when someone is offering you more money than what you normally charge, you should probably take the business! Huge disappointment. read more

This review is long overdue! I did not by my wedding gown here unfortunately, BUT this was the absolute best experience I had dress shopping because of my consultant. I don't remember her name exactly, except that she is of Haitian decent, a little older and petite. She is wonderful!!! She was by far the most patient, kind, and experienced bridal consultant I have ever met. She did not rush me one bit, and I would have bought in a heartbeat if I found "the one" at this store. I plan on going back to at least get some accessories because she was THAT fantastic. They have amazing dresses, the store is neat, and they have affordable gowns as well. I only have one complaint: there were other people in the store, perhaps the owners who were not very nice at all especially to the employees. I didn't like that at all. They are definitely worth a visit though! read more

My daughter and I drove up to Bellissima from Fort Lauderdale, Brittany helped my daughter with choosing the perfect dress and veil. We never felt rushed, or felt pushed into buying a dress. Bellissima's decor is lovely, light green and white, open, with lots of natural light. The entire wedding dress experience was wonderful, from the first visit to the final fitting. Highly recommend! read more

I did not buy my dress here, but I found the shopping experience to be very pleasant. They had a great selection of dresses and the sales person (Brittany) was extremely nice and patient. I never felt rushed or pressured. Tania, who consulted with us about alterations on a sample dress that I was interested in, seemed extremely knowledgeable and honest. In fact, we wanted to buy it, but she was honest with us and said that she could not be certain that they could alter it down to the size I needed without it losing its shape. My mom and I still consider this to be the best place we visited when looking for a dress. If I hadn't found a sample in my size for a super cheap price somewhere else (which was a mediocre experience), I would have come back here and paid full price for a dress. Nothing came close to this store. I plan to come back when looking for bridal accessories. read more

Horrible experience. As soon as I walked in I let the 3 ladies at the front desk know I was there for an appointment. One of the employees handed me a piece of paper with some questions. One of the questions was "what is your budget?". Once I was done I handed it back over to the employee who picked it up, LAUGHED, and said "ARE YOU MISSING A ZERO?" I was shocked, embarrassed and just wanted to cry. There was a large bridal party trying on dresses nearby who turned around and heard. So embarrassing. Another employee standing next to her said they have couple of dresses within my budget. Great! I said, I'd like to try some on. They brought out 3 beautiful dresses. I fell in love with the first one I tried on. Bought it and walked out. Took my dress elsewhere for alterations. This was supposed to be a fun and memorable moment for me but bellisima bride took that away from me. I will not be back and will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I first came to Bellissima three years ago when I was buying a bridesmaid dress. I was struck by how friendly and accommodating the staff was that when I was looking to find a shop to buy my own wedding gown, I called them first. On the day of the appointment, Lexie looked through photos I brought and then got all my guests involved to find a dress, poured us champagne, and made it so fun for everyone as I tried on each gown. She was so friendly, laid back, and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. When I decided on a dress, the staff rang a bell and gave me a "I said yes to the dress!" sign to take a photo with (yes, they let you take photos!). I can't say enough about my experience. read more

A great no-pressure & helpful atmosphere for shopping! I felt welcomed despite only shopping for my accessories at this point (I was visiting from out of town & already have my dress). They had a wonderful variety of veils & hair accessories to choose from at very reasonable prices for really great quality! read more

My appointment was scheduled for Saturday August 27th at 1pm. I arrived with my maid of honor, my mother, my grandmother, and my mother in law. I wasn't greeted by any of the employees and I had to introduce myself at the front desk. I was told by the front desk that they were running behind and that they would be with me shortly. At 1:30pm I was finally called back by one of their employees. I was asked a few questions about what kind of dress I wanted. The employee allowed me to browse through the dresses and select the ones I liked best. It was pretty easy to select the dresses because there were images of the dresses on each hanger. After trying on about 10 dresses (within a short period) I was told their next client was there and that I would have to reschedule my appointment. I was in complete shock. I didn't think that was right. How do you run behind and ask me to come back because your next client is there? So wrong in so many ways! read more

Well Im writing this review from turks and caicos!! I just arrived after Tania packed my dresses for me! Let me start off by saying I don't have a mom- and the day i showed up to bellissima bride to search for a dress I felt like I was I was shopping with my sister and my mom!! Britney was my sales associate and she was amazing!! I was shopping maybe for a month from miracle mile in Miami to boca bridal- i searched and searched!! And I am sooo thrilled I choose to be a bellissima bride!! They exceeded my expectations to the extent that I would do anything for these people hands down!! I felt like I was the only girl in the world buying a wedding gown!! At first when my dress came in I will not lie I was disappointed reason being I have a large chest and super small waist and they had to accommodate for that- in my mind I could not visualize what it was going to look like! I took it to the extent that I bought another dress and kept shopping for others! By the time they actually fitted my dress properly I was soooooooo thrilled to the point I cried!! I'm soo excited on September 29,2012 to be a bellissima bride and for my future husband to see me!! I really don't know if they treat every bride like they treated me, but I feel like I gained a mother and friends!! Tania and her staff went out of their way for me to the extent they altered all my sun dresses for my honey moon ( 13 dresses to be exact) and they were done to perfection! They packed my wedding dress to perfection in tissue paper where when I arrived in turks and caicos and pulled them out of the carry on suitcases there was barely any wrinkles at all!!! I will never ever forget all the encouraging words Tania has said and I feel like she has coached me into being the best wife I could ever be!! With that said- I would highly recommend bellissima bride!!! There are truly a god send in the bridal industry!!!! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!! read more

When making an appointment the man on the phone was so friendly and accommodating! We got there for my cousins appointment and everyone was so friendly! The consultant my cousin had was so helpful and made it clear she was there to help her find the one. Unfortunately my cousin is a little indecisive and didn't leave with a dress. If I wasn't already married I would absolutely be going there to buy my dress! Thank you! read more

So impressed with Belissima Bride Deerfield Beach. We lucked out and had the opportunity of working with Jessica. She is so talented and nice!! The entire experience was so easy. This bridal salon really knows how to make a bride, family & crew feel special. From how seperated the rooms are, to all the details that they include. If you or anyone you know needs a wedding gown Go Straight to Belissma Bride and Request Jessica!! read more

I loved this bridal salon. They really make you feel like a princess. A beautiful array of gowns and styles to choose from and the stylists are attentive, kind, & extremely helpful. An A+ experience! read more

Staff was rude and unresponsive.. I purchased my wedding dress from them during a trip to Florida. I live in New York, and could have easily purchased the same dress from another retailer, but I chose to give them my buisness. I provided my mailing address 3 times before I left their store. When they received the dress, they confirmed my mailing address TWICE over the phone and still did not include my apartment number. This resulted in my delivery being delayed, missing my first fitting.. I called to speak with the owner TWICE about their error and was promised someone would call me back... They never called. The staff doesn't care about their customers, once you pay for the dress, do not expect the store to care about you.. Once they have their money, you are not important. Take your buisness elsewhere if possible. read more

I enjoyed every minute of wedding dress shopping at Bellissima. From the owner, Joe, to the staff member who helped us, Elizabeth, we received outstanding customer service. I made an appointment early on a Saturday morning and had quite a group with me - my mom, two sisters, aunt, cousin, and grandmother. All seven of us arrived with monogrammed champagne glasses in hand and two bottles of champagne. The staff could not have been more welcoming. They reserved a large room that we all fit in comfortably. When we ran out of champagne, they opened several of their own bottles for us. Elizabeth worked patiently with me as my family members picked out dress after dress for me to try on. Three hours later, we had found THE DRESS by a unanimous vote. By 1:30 pm, me and my family were enjoying lunch at Ninja Spinning Sushi. It's such a relief to have such a big part of my wedding planning painlessly over with! In terms of dress variety and price range, Bellissima is hard to beat. They truly have something for everyone. The most helpful part of the experience is that each silhouette and style of dress is grouped together; so if you want a mermaid silhouette, there is one huge room where you can look through all of the mermaid gowns without having to look at every single dress in the store to find what you want. I should also add that the shop is very accessible. My mom uses a mobility scooter and had no problem whizzing through the store. About two weeks later, I received a beautiful handwritten thank-you note from the staff. That kind of customer service is rare these days, and I so appreciated their attention to detail. Many thanks to Bellissma for making this experience one me and my family will always treasure! read more

I was so disappointed with my appointment at Bellissima. I had flown in from Texas so that I could shop for a dress with my family and bridesmaids who live in Florida. I emailed ahead of time to let them know I would be bringing a large party with me (because i know sometimes that is overwhelming for a shop) and they said it would be no problem, they would be excited to have us. From the minute we walked in, the consultant was rushing us and seemed really annoyed with my family. I told her it was the first time I was trying on dresses and I wanted to try on a couple of different styles. She insisted that I pick two styles "to start with". I tried a ballgown and a fit-and-flare. Once I tried those two dresses on, she had me pick my favorite of those two (I liked the ballgown) and then said "you must want a ballgown then", even though I kept asking to see other fit-and-flare dresses because I knew I just didn't like that one specific dress! Eventually she said "we don't have a fit-and-flare with beading, you're going to have to choose one of the ballgowns we already have in the room". It felt like she wasn't even trying to help! How could there only be one fit-and-flare to choose from that has beading? And this was all in the first 45 minutes of a 2 hour appointment, it's not like we didn't have time to keep trying on dresses. My family could tell I was unhappy every time I came out of the fitting room. I narrowed it down to one ballgown dress that I liked but still didn't feel right. I actually cried when I had it on, and realized I was crying because I was not having fun and was disappointed that this was my "dress shopping experience". Needless to say, I left without a dress and the next day had a completely different experience at another store because the consultant actually listened to me and wasn't just focused on getting me to narrow down my options. I wish Bellissima would have planned ahead and given me a consultant that was comfortable with large groups and actually enjoyed her job. read more

Had absolutely the best experience with Bellissima Bride. Their website doesn't do justice to how wonderful the store and staff are. I had been to two other shops and tried on lots of dresses, but this was by far the best experience. Joe was very responsive when I reached out for an appointment, and remembered our email correspondence when I arrived. Elizabeth walked me around the store showing me the different styles, and gave me the freedom to find the dresses that I was really interested in. As noted in another review, the little pictures attached to the dresses definitely help give an idea of what it looks like in real life! I felt like I was pulling too many, because I didn't want to take up too much of Elizabeth's time, but she was very encouraging and told me to pull whatever I was interested in and we'd go from there! She helped me in and out of every dress, and helped my mom take photos as we went. She was never pushy or tried to persuade me one way or another, and was very respectful of my budget. After spending 2 hours trying on dresses and narrowing them down tournament-style, I found the best dress for me. I wasn't sure I was 100% ready to spend the money, because it was on the higher end of my price range, so I decided to sleep on it. The next day, I went to another bridal store and didn't find anything close to what I found here. I talked it over with my family, and then called Joe while we were driving home (on a Saturday) to see if he could squeeze me in to try on the dress one more time. He figured out a way for me to come in after their typical weekend rush, and was so friendly when I came in with my parents. Elizabeth greeted me again and remembered exactly which dress I wanted to try on one more time - she got it out and helped me into it while Joe grabbed champagne for my parents. After putting it on, it was clear it was the right dress for me. One of best parts is how accommodating they are with my weird schedule - I live overseas and they are doing everything they can to make sure I can get the dress altered and ready in time for my wedding in September. Thank you!! :) read more

I did not buy my dress at this store but I loved every bit of a great experience here. The staff was so eager to help find the right dress. There was no pressure to buy that day and they really took their time. I ended up getting my dress somewhere else at the stroke of luck for an unbelievable price, however my intentions were to buy from Bellissima when the right time came. They did not seem to have some of the higher end couture labels but the selection was still very extensive. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Bellissima Bride. Mary was exceptionally patient and friendly across my three appointments and I was impressed by her knowledge of their stock. I was finding it hard to settle on a certain style and she was quick to retrieve dresses that she thought might help me narrow it down. Eventually I picked a dress that was completely different from my vision and I couldn't be happier. The entire staff was warm and welcoming and overall it was the type of experience a bride dreams of. Highly recommended!! read more

Bellissima Bride is fantastic. I had tried on so many wedding dresses that didn't excite me, and was visiting my fiancee's parents who live in Ft. Lauderdale with 5 months to go until my wedding. With the clock ticking, I decided I should try to check out a store in the area and see if I'd have better luck finding a dress. I made an appointment at Bellissima Bride because of the reviews and the store did not disappoint. The selection of dresses is phenomenal, the owners nice, and the staff helpful. I ended up going back for a second appointment because I hadn't seen everything I was interested in during my first visit (it was the last appointment of the day). In the end, they were able to sell me a sample, which was great because it alleviated any fear of not getting the dress in time. Highly recommend. read more

Brittany was WONDERFUL! From the moment I walked in, my family and I were treated great. Brittany was so professional and knowledgeable, she knew exactly which dresses to pull based on my body type/style. I never felt rushed even though I'm sure the appointment almost reached two hours. I highly recommend this store to anyone! read more

I shopped here with my future mother-in-law while visiting them over the holidays. I worked with Maria and she was extremely helpful. She even helped my MIL take pictures in the best lighting so we could share them with the group back home. While I ultimately did not purchase through their store, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area. They had a great selection and were very friendly. I even received a handwritten note as a follow up. read more

Mistakingly arrived at closing time. Very welcoming and accommodating. Never felt rushed. Overwhelmingly pleasant staff. Delightful experience read more

I had an extraordinarily wonderful experience buying my wedding gown at Bellissima Bride. From the moment I entered the salon, Roberta made me feel at ease. She took the time to get to know me and the look I wanted to capture on my wedding day. Additionally, she was respectful of my budget and assured me that I would find something spectacular. True to her word, she helped me find my gown. Together, we went around the salon and she welcomed my input on different styles. I never once felt pressured. I selected numerous gowns and Roberta was patient and allowed me to try on all of them. When trying on different dresses, she voiced her expert opinion in a tasteful way as did Joe, the owner. The two together are an absolute delight and this experience exceeded all of my dress shopping expectations. Being a New Yorker, they are the "Kleinfeld" of Florida. I want to thank both of them for making this day special and memorable. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have a great selection and the staff is amazing! I ordered my wedding dress here about 2-3 months ago. I was so happy with the service and selection I'm getting my bridesmaid dresses here too. read more

Not impressed. We went to look at bridesmaids dresses (bride already had her dress) and it felt like the staff couldn't be bothered to help us. When we arrived (with an appointment but 10 minutes late - we called to tell them we were running late and they told us it was no problem) they told us to go ahead and look, but another group is looking so "good luck." They were also rude to the mother of the bride. I was SHOCKED after reading such great reviews. read more

I randomly stopped into this shop to look around for a wedding dress. (Did not have an appointment) The staff and owner were so nice and helpful! Brittany who helped me was prefect she knew exactly what i was looking for. I have not purchased my gown YET, but I am going back in this week todo so :) They had a very large selection of gowns in all different price ranges and styles. I would definitely recommend this salon to friends who are getting married. read more
