Bella Wedding Bridal

I could not be happier with my dress & alterations from Bella Wedding!! After trying on over 70 dresses, I found a dress that I absolutely loved online. Only 3 stores in the whole of California had that dress, and Bella Wedding was one of them. With my hopes super high, I tried on the dress at Bella Wedding and absolutely loved it!! Their service was very professional & polite, and I had a great experience.

I was nervous for alterations, as I'd chosen a strapless dress (which I usually avoid). I don't have wide hips and really wanted to make sure it would stay up all day without my pulling it up over and over. The seamstress was wonderful about making the adjustments we needed to get the dress to fit me just right. It needed to be taken in around the sides AND the back to get it to fit around me correctly and stay up completely. At the 3rd and final fitting, my dress was absolutely PERFECT!!! It 100% fit me like a glove and I never wanted to take it off. The length was perfect as well.

What I loved most of all was my bustle. My dress had tons of layers and I truthfully wasn't sure how they were going to do the bustle. They ended up using 8 loops instead of the standard 3 or 5 loops to layer the dress. It turned out absolutely beautifully and truly looked like petals on a flower!! The loops were extremely strong with good fabric and held alllllll day and night! (I had the dress on for 12 hours and danced the night away!) My mom's friend who was an exec at Ralph Lauren was blown away by the bustle's craftsmanship and creative thinking. I loved twirling around the dance floor!

The only disappointment I had was that I did a veil rental through the shop, and a shorter veil was given to me than the one I'd asked for. I didn't check the veil before my wedding, and unfortunately I had the short veil on for my entire wedding. It wasn't the end of the world, but I am disappointed looking at it in the photos as the longer veil was much better with my dress. I would still highly highly recommend the shop, just double check you're given what you wanted!! People make mistakes.

I can't thank Bella Wedding enough. My dress was truly perfect.

I shopped and shopped for weeks to find the perfect dress. When I came to Bella Wedding Bridal, Chloe was a sweet heart and was VERY HELPFUL. I showed her a picture of a dress I really liked from a different store, and she lead me to a similar and MORE PERFECT dress at her shop. I am a very indecisive person, and not once did she pressure me into buying the dress. She made me feel comfortable, and was extremely patient. I came a few weeks later and said yes to the dress! Thank you to Bella Wedding Bridal and to Chloe for giving me my dream dress!! I cannot wait to wear it in July 2020.

After a couple months of searching, I came across a beautiful Pronovias dress that I saw online that I absolutely fell in love with. The issue was the $$$$! I did a search on shops in ktown and learned about the renting option, so I called Bella and let them know the dress I was looking for. Without even putting me on hold, Bella NOT ONLY confirmed that they had that dress, but they ALSO informed me of a new dress that Essence of Australia just came out with that is very similar, cheaper in price, and even cheaper to rent! I immediately set up an appt. which was EASY compared to most shops that have limited availability.

When I visited, I was absolutely shocked to see the selection. After visiting 9 shops up until that point, I noticed I saw every dress I previously tried on. Bella, BY FAR, has the widest selection. Bella doesn't do the frou-frou thing - it's not like a Pinterest spot that has a chevron rug and signs of "she said yes to the dress", but honestly, who needs another one of those?! If you are looking for that experience, go to a useless fancy one first THEN Bella to actually find your dress.

At each appointment, the family was incredibly helpful, hospitable and straight forward. They are detailed which I really appreciate - forthcoming on price, payment options, process, etc. They NEVER came off too sales-y, which did happen at other shops and was incredibly frustrating; Bella gives you space, freedom of time and no pressure. Bella has flat prices.

Renting my EoA dress was the best decision - price also comes WITH ALTERATIONS, which I couldn't believe! Some spots in ktown will make the bottom more of a bubble dress and just pin it under, but at Bella, they full-on alter the dress for your body -- it's INCREDIBLE! Price ALSO includes your choice of veil *I was shocked! AND any jewelry. They also have a great variety of hair pieces & belts!
