My experience at Bride Beautiful was great!

Let me start off by saying that I was very apprehensive about dress shopping. Clothing shopping is usually a hit or miss situation for me, even after losing a large about of weight. I was really dreading this day.

We had visited one other salon in the morning and found some dresses we liked, but they were decidedly over budget. We then went to Bride Beautiful at the recommendation of my wedding planner and we had an amazing time. Gail was very friendly right away to me and my group (Mother, Grandmother, and wedding planner). Putting on the dresses wasn't the terrifying experience I had built up for myself. Not only did the sample sizes actually fit (and I'm no model here), but some were a little big. You don't know what that does to help the experience.

We had figured out at the previous store that we liked the blush color on me best, so we told her that and she knew right away which dresses came in those colors. She let us pick some dresses to put on, but none were really wowing, so she popped out and came back with what ended up being my dress. The sample they had was actually in the pearl rose color (my imagination isn't great with stuff like that). Even after I had it on, it still wasn't *it* until she picked up a sash and tied it up in a special knot. It was then that everyone knew, even the parents of the girl next to us could help but comment. Gail, and the other ladies at BB, know their dresses!

Of course, I was not one to buy as is, it seems. I spent considerable time in alterations (sewing in the sash, adding the sweetheart neckline my mom loved so much, etc). I also needed a bolero jacket for the church ceremony so they ordered extra fabric from the company. Unfortunately, the lace that was sent was border lace instead of just the fabric lace, but they made it work. My bolero was truly a masterpiece.

If I ever got married again (not that I would ever go through this whole wedding mess again), I'd definitely come here for my dress. Ask for Gail!

The floor sales people are extremely nice but the manager can be a bit rude. They will not budge on their prices for the dress or for alterations. Although the lady that does alterations does a great job I would recommend you take your dress to someone else because they are a bit pricey. Also I had to call to see if my dress had arrived they never contacted me once about my dress or alterations appointments.

This place is a girls dream, and I am not that typical girl. So I was being very optimistic going in, but I might say they gave me ten clips to pick dresses I would like to try on. Well, it was the first dress....then she added but we tried on a few more and it didn't measure up, so I put the first dress back on, and then she went and got the sash and it was over, that was the one. Joan, my consultant was great she did an awesome job. I love...my dress. They helped me with my maid, matron, and bridesmaid dresses and everyone was beautiful. I cannot wait to see everyone's pics...it will be just beautiful...and my earrings was perfect...it all came together. Oh and my seamstress was great, because I was losing weight and she worked with me and made me look even more gorgeous....Thanks guys for having such gorgeous dresses...love this place...

PLUS SIZE BRIDES BEWARE!! They do not deserve even ONE star! This was the worst experience ever! Even thought their website states "Please also visit our plus size section. We have one of the largest selections of plus size samples in the Atlanta area!" they had 2 dresses in a size 20, 2 dresses in a size 22, and NOTHING above that.. although the sales girl said they could "hold the dresses up to me" and that "they could be ordered bigger, for an additional fee".. Oh, and she constantly urged me to "go online and look because all of their dresses are online" .. They advertise dresses from Mori Lee on the site, a popular line for plus sized brides.. None of those dresses are available to actually try on in the store. I would never buy a dress without trying it on first! Who does that? Their site is a perfect example of false advertisement! The store was dirty and the sales girl a teenager that knew nothing about the gowns.. A plus sized girls worst nightmare is to go to a store and have NOTHING fit right.. I left in tears.. would not have made the appointment if the site had not been misleading.. I highly recommend that you don't waste your time going here!! Alfred Angelo is a couple of miles away, and has a TON of dresses for every size, doesn't charge more for plus sizes, and has excellent customer service!

Perfect dress for my body! The only downside is there hours...Just make sure to get an appointment, as they book up fast. They are the oldest bridal store in the Atlanta area and definitely the best band for your buck. They have dresses for any price range.

I went to Bride Beautiful and found the perfect dress there for a reasonable price! The dresses are reasonably priced and there is a wide selection and range of prices. My consultant (Cherri) was really supportive of my choices and was honest with what she thought looked good and not. I ended up cancelling the first dress I purchased 2 days after I bought it and found something better at the store and it was really no hassle.

I had a really good experience in the beginning with bride beautiful. I loved my consultant and was able to find a dress a really loved. They were even willing to negotiate a price and work to make sure that I was happy. They made sure that my dress would come in on a timely manner and I would be able to get it altered. The person who altered my dress was really nice, but the first time she altered it there were a few things that she forgot to do. She altered it more, and the second time the length was still wrong. Finally it was too late and I couldn't get it altered anymore. The day of the wedding my dress seemed okay, but the ruffles created to shorten the length fell out. My dress became WAY to long and the bottom no longer looked as beautiful. I had to hold my dress up as I walked down the aisle because otherwise I would've fallen. When I spoke to the store about this I let them know how much I loved everything but I told them what went wrong. They never apologized, and were very rude saying that the dress was fine when it left the store. I would NOT recommend paying nearly $300 for alterations just to have lackluster service.

I felt very comfortable working with my bridal consultant at Bride Beautiful. It was the first place I went to, and I purchased my dress that day. They were one of the only stores I saw online that had a variety of one-shoulder dresses- which is what I was looking for. Very please with their service.

This is one of the best bridal shops in Atlanta. If you're looking for a dress in the 500 - 2K budget, this is the place for you. The staff is friendly and allow you to browse openly and the dresses are all out. If you're looking for a bargain, they have dresses in the back room for under 1K. I purchased my dress here and my bridal consultant Taquida, was amazing. She picked out the perfect dress for me and was not pushy at all. The alterations ended up being more than I expected but the seamstress, Gloria, did a great job on the dress. Overall I loved my experience, the quality of the dress, and the customer service.

Bride Beautiful has a great selection of dresses and they are all very reasonably priced. The ladies at Bride Beautiful were very helpful with picking out my dress and the bridesmaid's dresses. My only issue with them was that my dress wasn't hemmed correctly and it was too long. It caused some issues the day of the wedding but luckily my wedding planners fixed it.

I purchased my Allure wedding gown from Bride Beautiful the day after Thanksgiving, and I received my dress in the middle of April. I had 3 fittings throughout the summer before my wedding in August. They were very accomodating during the whole process. I was able to bring my very large family with me to watch me try on dresses! They were helpful in assisting me choose the perfect dress for my beach wedding, and I was able to go through all the dresses in the store to choose what I wanted instead of them choosing for me. If I could change one thing, it would be me not being specific enough with the tailor in regarding what I wanted. I would have preferred my dress to be hemmed a little shorter, but she kept insisting that it would be fine. However, if I had been more firm with my decision, I know she would have gladly hemmed the dress for me. My advice would be to be specific with what you want during your alterations.

If you are looking for great service, great ppl, great selection, and for dresses that are more couture in look than the dresses you would find at David's Bridal...then this is the spot to visit! I and all my bridesmaids had a great experience here!

Everyone at Bride Beautiful was very easy to work with, in my experience. My consultant, Cheri, helped me find the perfect dress. I really liked Bride Beautiful because they had A TON of dresses for a modest price (most are around $1000.) It took 5 months to get my dress in, so plan ahead! (It was well worth the wait!)

This was the fourth dress shop I visited and they had the most beautiful dresses by far! The owner was rude to me during my first "browsing" visit and I almost didn't return. I'm glad I did. My consultant, Cheri, was very nice and the seamstress, Gloria, was incredible! My dress was simple and classic, but absolutely beautiful! I ordered the dress six months before my wedding, which they said was a little late, but the dress arrived on time and was altered and ready to wear in plenty of time!

Great experience until it was time for alterations. Store manager did not listen to complaints about alterations and pushed it off onto other excuses why it was the way it was. Made me feel as if I was inconviencing here when we ran 10 minutes past store closing time due to her not listening that I was not happy. Not sure that I would use them again.

Bride Beautiful has a really nice selection of gowns for brides who have a modest budget - mine was $1500 and this store was perfect for my price range. They have lots of designers and styles, and best of all, a VERY knowledgeable sales staff. I ended up falling in love with an Allure couture gown that I had originally passed over because I didn't like the top of it, but when Cherie my sales clerk put it on me and tucked bits and pieces away showing what alterations could do, I knew it was the one! I ordered extra fabric and had a custom lace shrug made for me too. Great staff, great service, definitely great value. Try to avoid going on weekends though, because they get SLAMMED. Make weekday appointments, and if you want a weekend fitting, book it MONTHS ahead of time. The seamstress is also only there on certain days, but she did an excellent job with my dress.
