My MOH and I came to visit this shop when I came home to visit from DC and had a great experience!…read more We got timely appointment confirmation, reminder, and even a thoughtful check in from our bridal consultant, Bea! She wanted to see what styles we might have had in mind so she could start thinking about what to pull. When we arrived, the space felt clean and open. There were many dresses and the staff were all very friendly and offered us a seat and water as we waited for Bea to finish her previous appointment. When Bea came, she was so friendly! It felt like no matter what that she was going to add more sparkles to your day and it truly did feel like she was there to help us. She was very professional in kicking us off by introducing herself then asking me what I was looking for and took some notes. Then started whisking some dresses and us into the dressing room. She was very efficient in helping me in and out of dresses and even giving helpful thoughts on dresses as she continued learning what I might like or not like. I didn't feel like she would try to sell me a dress if I didn't love a dress and if she didn't think it let me feel my best. There were lots of dresses on the floor and they had more somewhere nearby in a warehouse. She was quickly diving in and out to try to find some more options for us. While I didn't find my dress on this visit, there were many beautiful dresses even if they were not my style or size at times. I was also a bit doubtful on how I would feel as I tried dresses on but Bea was so supportive throughout it all that it feels like you're shopping with a very knowledgeable friend. The experience itself with Bea does make me hopeful I can find something with them and I am going to try to visit again when I'm back in town. It seems like they get a lot of inventory in an ongoing flow. Also, big thank you to the team at Tulle in general! They were so friendly from beginning to end. I was a bit oblivious and didn't realize they had closed at one point but they were still so kind, welcoming, and patient. They didn't rush me but I definitely would have rushed myself out if I had known. They also offer mother of bride/groom shopping as well. I would recommend checking this place out for your bridal needs!

Here's the final, perfect version -- emotional, polished, and natural…read more Say yes to Tulle! I had the BEST experience at Tulle Bridal Outlet -- especially thanks to Renee, who helped me find my dream dress. I decided to book here because I had just been with my best friend while she shopped for her wedding dress, and the options were truly insane. Renee worked with her too, and she looked absolutely beautiful and found the one right then and there, so I specifically asked to book my appointment with him. He studied fashion, and it truly shows. Going in, I had a clear vision of the silhouette and style I wanted, so we pulled dresses that fit that idea. Renee then asked if I'd be open to trying one more that he thought would really suit me -- and he was right. It ended up being the dress, designed by Tulle themselves. The moment I put it on, I felt like a bride... but then came their veil, also designed by Tulle, and that's when we all lost it. I cried, my sister cried, my best friend cried -- one of those unforgettable moments I'll always cherish. Renee was also so respectful of my budget, which I deeply appreciated. He was honest, supportive, and not pushy at all, which is huge when it comes to bridal shopping. I never once felt pressured -- just genuinely supported and cared for. If you're looking for an incredible selection, a relaxed environment, and someone who truly listens, I can't recommend Tulle Bridal Outlet and Renee enough. Such a special experience This one is absolutely perfect -- emotional, professional, and glowing without being over-the-top

The defunct sleeves were removed and the material was harvested from them to cover the stains on the dress, which had to be taken in several sizes as well. Melissa has such a keen, expert eye that she made sure everything was done to perfection. She could have held the dress hostage and asked for twice as much. But she did not take advantage of our emotions and gave us an extremely good price for the incredible amount of work this project entailed. Melissa also genuinely cares about what she does and the role she plays in making someone's event incredibly special!

I wanted an off the shoulder look but fell in love with a strapless gown so she added off the shoulder straps to it. She also altered my moms dress perfectly.

Maria knows her stuff. She's been in the business a long time, and knows her inventory just as well…read moreas she knows body sizes. I went in and picked out some dresses, but had my eye on one that was FOUR (count them, four) sizes smaller than I run in bridal gowns- and not only that, the dress just looked teeny tiny. When Maria came over to assist, I'd told her I liked that style dress and was hoping she had something else like it for me to try. She said "You can fit into that one no problem." I said- no way. That's nuts. Then she told me the fabric had some give and it was a size that ran more true to my actual size- so I said to myself- what have I got to lose? The dress was amazing and fit almost like a glove. I fell head over heels for it. I went and tried other on other dresses at other places, but nothing even held a candle. Maria also included my alterations in the price-- which other places did not even try to offer. I feel great about doing business with her, and I can't wait to get fitted when my dress arrives. Big huge THANK YOU to Maria for being so great at what you do!

I had the absolute best time at Bella Sera Bridal. I've attended many bridal shops for wedding…read moredress shopping and this was my favorite by far. The rooms are secluded to give you that private experience, lots of mirrors and lighting to give you the full effect of your dress. My stylist, Zoe, was incredible. She really took the time to listen and helped me find my dress. I loved being able to walk around the store with my bridal party to see which ones I wanted to try on. The process to buy the dress was incredibly easy as well, I highly recommend coming here to find your wedding dress! They also do suits and prom dresses as well.

She made her feel like she got too big for the dress when what was wrong was an easy fix. She kept telling us it was a "size issue" and she needed to find a dress on the floor in a bigger size... just what a teenage girls wants to hear about her dream prom dress. My daughter left the shop in tears. The seamstress at the shop fixed the dress by the next morning, said it was not a huge deal to fix it and it fits great. I spoke with the owner about the issue and she apologized and took responsibility, but it is hard to spend that much money on a dress and have your daughter leave feeling embarrassed and ashamed of her body. No dress is worth that type of experience. It is hard to be a teenage girl and, especially in this business, a manager should understand that and know better. We should have gone elsewhere, and we while we had some great customer service from other staff members (Ava, Mercedes), I would not bring a teenage girl into Bella Sera.

Highly recommend these folks, and ask for Rita!

We went in to get fitted- we probably picked the wrong day the staff was super busy because it was wedding season! (Late June I was there of 2022). We waited as the people ahead of us were taken care of then proceeded to be fitted. I will say right off the bat I have a weird body shape- no jacket seemed to fit right- again weird body shape McGee over here. One of the other tailors freed up and took us right on back to the fitting rooms. He had me sized up in no time and in a comfy suit then went to work on fitting my stepson. After a few minutes we were looking spiffy and comfortable. I watched as rack after rack of groomsmen tuxes were bagged up and labeled ready for pickup, the tailor joked with us both about how crazy busy it was as he fitted us and generally kept us at ease. Suits rented- money paid and off we went. Here's the nice part- the shop was nice enough to let us rent the suits about a week early and when went to return them the shop was closed as the team was off for the 4th of July (well deserved after the craziness I witnessed with the weddings lol). So I called their number and left a message asking what do as I was going on vacation. Maria called me back and told me to not to worry about it and bring the suits in when I got back- there would be no late charge. Good to her word we were not charged and it was an overall great interaction with the shop. They take cash, venmo, and credit- but there is an extra fee for the credit card processing- a sign on the counter states this as well. One downside is there is not seating area in the main shop to wait- but the shop is so full of suits, and tuxes it makes sense why it's not there. Other than that- thank you Russo's for your kindness and understanding throughout the process of rental and return!

I joined my daughter, the bride, and her best friend on the dress shopping excursion. L'elite has a fabulously curated assortment of dresses, combined with professional and knowledgeable sales representatives. We worked with Shamim and she was excellent! Shamim was able to quickly determine which dresses would look best on the bride. We did not expect to buy the very first dress that she tried on, but that's exactly what happened. The process was that good at L'elite! In addition, Shamim made the experience fun and informative. Not only did we find the most beautiful dress but the experience was also the most efficient use of our time. It was an amazing experience! I would highly recommend L'elite!
