They were so amazing and helpful!

Bella's was amazing. The team helped me find my dress and were knowledgeable. They understood it was overwhelming and helped me deal with that during the process. The alterations department was also amazing and did my alterations perfectly to fit my body.

Excellent experience from start to finish

I came to Bella's on a tight budget, with a very specific style/look of dress in mind. The girls were able to find me the exact dress of my dreams on the friggin clearance rack!! Eek! Only one problem... The dress was a size 12 and I am a size 4. Fortunately, their seamstress is an absolute magician (along with being very sweet and a pleasure to work with). She was able to alter my (very lacey) dress to lay perfectly and fit my every curve. This whole process took 6 (or maybe 7?) alterations, but she was so patient and just as concerned with getting it perfect as I was. I would be willing to pay much more for a dress just to get to use her for alterations. Everyone who works here is very sweet and accommodating. What an excellent experience!

Best Bridal Boutique!

I loved my experience at Bella’s! They have a HUGE selection of dresses of all different styles! My consultant, Carolyn, was so sweet and patient with me and my guests. We had the best time popping champagne when I found “the one”! I highly recommend!

Dream Wedding Dress Shopping Come True!

I cannot say enough good things about Bella's Bridals! I went to 2 other bridal salons and had terrible experiences from the tiny dressing rooms and crowded waiting areas where strangers were looking at me walk out in dresses. Bella's was the total opposite. Each dressing room has a private sitting area for your guests so it's far more intimate. My consultant was Ashley and she was so sweet and helpful. Even when I wanted to think on a dress and come back after lunch, she didn't mind one bit! When I came back to try on the dress I was thinking about, she helped me try on several accessories until I found a look I loved. So glad I went to Bella's!

LOVE Bella's! I bought all of my prom dresses from here and I knew I would get my wedding dress from here! Carol was amazing from the beginning! She let me try on everything I wanted to! I described the dress I wanted and she pulled the perfect dress! rom the minor alterations I had to cleaning it before and after my wedding, Bella's has been amazing! Because I purchased my dress from here my girls were able to get a small discount on their bridesmaids dresses! They worked with me to get all the girls sized and ordered their dresses in a great amount of time to get them here. overall exceptional quality dresses and service!

Bella's was the third store I visited, after two disappointing visits to other stores in Birmingham. I loved the experience I had at Bella's, and had a hard time choosing a dress because I liked so many! They offer great pricing and a huge range of styles. The store associates were nice, friendly, helpful, and non-judgmental. I wanted to wait until after alterations to review, and we ended up having a great experience with alterations as well. Both I (the bride) and my mom bought and had our dresses altered here, and we were very happy with the results.
