    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.

    Bella's Bridal provided such a wonderful wedding dress experience. My consultant was Darelle and she was so fabulous. I had an idea of what kind of gown I wanted, but everything I had chosen just wasn't making me jump for joy. Darelle told me she had a dress in mind and when I tried it on, it was PERFECT! I am so glad that she was able to pick up on what I liked and disliked about each dress and recommend a dress that turned out to be "the one". I would highly recommend Bella's!

    Bella's Bridal is the best dress shop in the Birmingham area, hands down! They were recommended by a friend who had just gotten married. Carolyn was my bridal consultant and she helped me find my dress in the 3rd one I tried on! She gave great recommendations and picked out a blush dress for me that I would have never considered because I thought I had to have an ivory dress. We had to postpone our wedding for a year so they were very understanding about me picking it up and bringing it back later for alterations. The seamstresses at Bella's are also amazing! I had been very consumed in wedding planning that I forgot to get my dress altered sooner than later. My mom and I went to Bella's 2 weeks before my wedding (which is NOT a recommended time frame, ladies!) to have my dress taken in and let out in all the right places, and the train was also bustled. It ended up being done 5 days before the wedding and was a perfect fit!

    Bella's was wonderful! All in one day I found my wedding dress and my bridesmaids! They set the dates for measurements and payments for my bridesmaids and went over everything with me. Their dresses are beautiful! They were so helpful and listened to what I wanted that I tried on only five dresses till I found the perfect one! They also can change anything on a dress that you want to make it perfect just for you!

    I would recommend going to Bella's Bridal to any of my friends. I got my dress and my bridesmaids dresses at Bella's and the experience was fantastic. The staff is friendly and competent with what they do. There is enough space that brides are not on top of each other trying on dresses. We all said yes to the dress at Bella's!

    Great experience here! They have a great selection for every girls' style and dress shape! The prices were reasonable and I thought the value was fantastic. Darelle was the specialist that helped me pick out my dress. I would recommend her when you go in / make your appointment! She was amazing! She was professional, helped pick out dresses for my style and body shape, she was respectful and extremely patient. It felt like she was having as much fun as we were! I'd definitely recommend stopping here during your dress search!

    I had the pleasure of working with Carolyn who went above and beyond for me and my wedding party. She stayed in contact with me from the day I said, "Yes to the Dress" until the day I said "I Do". I highly recommend Bella's Bridal! SN: Bella's has a great plus size collection.

    I had an amazing experience at Bella's. I came in with no idea of what I wanted in a wedding dress and after showing pictures and trying on a few, Kim helped me find the perfect dress. They were all so sweet and very accommodative of my mom and three bridesmaids.

    Bella's bridal made my dress buying experience one to remember. They were so nice and patient from the time I walked in until the time I selected my gown. I went in looking for a specific designer, Maggie Sattero, not only did I find a dress I found my dream gown.
