I chose my dress from Bella Bianca in Oakbrook. It was the first store I visited and the first dress I tried on! The staff reached out to me for inspo pictures so they could make sure they had some dresses ready to go. I fell in love with the first dress (which ended up being nothing like my inspo pics). The staff was so kind, and all of my dress fittings went very smoothly. I couldn’t have had a better experience!

The consultants here made finding and purchasing a dress a wonderful experience. They have a good selection of of larger sizes. My dress was beautiful! Alterations was willing to do a French bustle which was perfect for my dress. I highly recommend this boutique.

I highly recommend Bella Bianca to help you find your dream dress! Lauren made my experience unforgettable. She guided me through every step of the process, asked insightful questions, and truly understood what I was looking for. With her keen eye for dresses, she pulled out the dress I said yes to. Lauren is friendly, honest, and an absolute joy to work with! Bella Bianca also did an amazing job with alterations! The entire experience was wonderful for my mom, mother-in-law, and me!

I scheduled my very first dress shopping appointment at the Oakbrook location not expecting to find my dress. Big surprise to me, the very first dress I ever put on was "The One." My experience at Bella Bianca was amazing. I had contact with both of the fantastic owners, Melissa and Natalie, Lauren helped me find my dress, Raychel was fantastic throughout, and Brenda was the best seamstress I could have imagined.
My dress was unique, fit perfectly at the end, and I could not love it more. The bodice was initially cut too short for my 6ft height, but Melissa stepped in and ensured it was remade properly. Melissa personally took measurements and followed up with Lazaro to fix the situation. While it wasn't ideal, things happen and it's reassuring when they are resolved efficiently and with care.
Brenda was patient in each fitting, she made suggestions and also ensured that all my concerns were taken care of. She helped emphasize the parts of my body I like most, and hide the parts that aren't my favorite. 😊
I highly recommend this bridal salon. The selection is top notch, the atmosphere is elevated, and the staff is great.

I found my dream dress at Bella Bianca! My stylist was so supportive and sweet, and really listened to what I wanted. My friends & in laws also had a really fun experience and I will always remember the moment we shared a glass of champagne after I found "the one" (from Galia Lahav). Highly recommend for anyone who wants their dress shopping experience to feel special and luxe!

While shopping for my wedding gown, I had the most lovely experience at Bella Bianca! I felt pampered and supported while making this big decision, and not once felt pressured. I worked with Era, and she methodically selected dresses to help me both rule in, and rule out styles and fits. In fact, I booked two appointments with Era and she was just as excited for the second appointment as she was the first! When I went back for my veil and to try on my dress once it was delivered, the experience was just as excellent. While the price point is a bit higher than other bridal shops in the area, I am a strong believer that you get what you pay for! I have received more compliments than I can count on my dress. I would go back to Bella Bianca 100X over. Thank you Bella Bianca!

I had a great experience at Bella! The gal that helped me knew her stuff, I came in with an inspiration photo and she found my absolute dream dresss!! It was the second one I tried on and it was the easiest and happiest experience ever. My only callout is that their prices have gone up over the years and they're definitely on the higher end of the scale. I chose to do my alterations elsewhere since their minimum increased in 2023 and they were definitely more expensive than other places that quoted me. I also got my veil elsewhere because their accessories can get pricey!

Lauren B was so wonderful and helpful; she brought me options of all styles to try on, brought dresses within my budget that matched my style and what I was looking for, and made the whole experience top notch. I want to have more weddings simply to have this fun, and great time again.

Overall my experience at Bella Bianca was very good. From the moment I started trying on dresses through buying and the first try on when the dress came in everything was wonderful. The only thing I was not very pleased with were the alterations. The seamstress was very quick in and out and was not addressing any of the main concerns (like huge gapping chest area) until I escalated my concerns but the dress ended up looking very pretty in the end.

The entire team at Bella Bianca in Oakbrook made my wedding dress experience a breeze. Lauren was so attentive during both of my initial appointments. She was friendly and easy to talk to, and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and opinions to narrow in on my vision. Lauren knew when to step in with guidance, but I did not once feel rushed or pressured in any way. The salon has a beautiful selection of gowns. Bella Bianca was transparent with timing and pricing each step of the way, especially when I customized a part of my dress. I loved being able to book all my alterations appointments up front and I had a clear schedule of what would happen at each one. Anita was my seamstress and alterations fairy godmother. She was incredibly detail oriented and it was clear she was focused on making my dress fit perfectly – which it did! Amazing experience overall and couldn’t have been happier with the result!

I want to give more stars because the stylist who helped me choose my dress was incredible, and the seamstress was extremely sweet..that being said I did have to stick with 3 stars because the veil I wanted was never ordered and then I was blamed by the staff member who took my call (despite the fact that I was never called regarding the issue they said they had, nor was a follow up call made), my only other issue was that the bra inserts added to my dress were far too close to the seams. I brought this up at my final fitting and was told it would be a non-issue...I had to have my photographer edit the bra out of numerous photos.
I still believe this shop is great and worth going to, I would caution brides to make sure that they are proactively following up with additional orders or perhaps more clear than I was about concerns during fittings.

I love love love Bella Bianca! The team was incredible, I bought the second dress that I tried on and it was a dress that our stylist recommended and she killed it -- thanks Lauren B! Working with Hilda on all my alterations was a dream, she was so knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment and recommendations without question. 10 / 10 highly recommend!

I could never have dreamt of a more incredible bridal experience. Bella Bianca Oakbrook had been recommended by a friend and was the first stop in my journey to find a wedding dress. I was truly lucky to work with Taylor, whose contagious positivity and charisma immediately made my guests and I feel comfortable. I walked into the experience pretty open-minded about styles and fits. The best choice I could have made was to let Taylor take some creative reign in exploring dresses with me. It felt like a true partnership and Taylor's knowledge and expertise was very impressive. I felt as though she truly listened to my feedback and was honest and transparent with me throughout the experience. I walked into my first appointment with the intention of eventually finding a great dress... but what Taylor helped me find was a wedding dress that I could never imagine experiencing the big day without. I cannot rave enough about my experience with Taylor and the Bella Bianca team. I highly recommend Bella Bianca Oakbrook for anyone getting ready for their big day. Already planning my visit back to the store as a wing-woman for friends getting married in the future :)

I cannot recommend Bella Bianca Bridal Couture more!!!! Before my appointment, I probably sent 100 emails back and forth with my consultant giving her inspiration pictures, requesting specific gowns be at my appointment, etc. and she answered them all in a professional and timely manner. Everyone at the salon was SO kind and welcoming. I probably went there about 6 times from finding the dress to taking it home and every time was a great experience. I found my dress at my first appointment and I also got my shoes and veil here. The alterations were also better than I ever could have expected. At times, the gown was altered while I was there to make sure I approved of the steps they were making. I never felt pressured to choose or do things I didn't feel comfortable with, and it was a better experience than I ever could have imagined from start to finish.

I tried on close to 50 dresses at 5 different salons and Bella Bianca was by far my best experience! Kiara is the best consultant I could have asked for. She understood my vision and what I wanted from the beginning. I had one appointment with her then decided I was going to go back for a trunk show for the designer I was most interested in. They are always having trunk shows at the salon and 10/10 recommend attending one if possible! The salon had a wide variety of options and I loved every single dress I tried on there. All great designers, high quality, and a truly wonderful shopping experience. I can't recommend them enough! I also did my alterations with their seamstresses and my dress fit perfectly.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Bella Bianca! My consultant, Kiara, and seamstress, Anita, went above and beyond to ensure I felt beautiful on my wedding day. Kiara walked me through selecting a gown and my accessories. I was never discouraged from scheduling multiple appointments, nor was I rushed during those appointments. Anita made my dress fit perfectly, and it was a joy to chat with her during our 4 alterations sessions. I highly recommend Bella Bianca for their wonderful customer service (and incredible selection)!

The first visit to try on dresses went great! The showroom was lovely and the attendant very helpful. The problems arrived after I ordered my dress and paid my money.
The dress I feel in love with was Ivory but had Organza undertones. Against my skin tone, this looked strange, as my skin color is brown, the dress was ivory, the undertones were Organza, and the breast cups nude. I asked if the entire dress could be changed to Ivory. Bella Bianca spoke to the designer who said it wasn’t possible. I refused to purchase without the customizations. The designer then said they’d do it for an additional fee which was ridiculous as the change was simple and the dresses are supposedly “made to order,” but I agreed.
I was charged a fee to change the breast cups to ivory; I was charged a fee to change the under fabric in the dress to ivory; and I was charged a fee to increase the cup size. I also signed a paper that stated hemming and bustling alterations from Bella Bianca were a set price.
When I got the dress back, some of the under fabric that I had already paid to be changed was still not ivory and the cup sizes that I paid to be increased were not the size I gave and signed on the paper. When I brought this to their attention, I was told they’d fix the fabric color at alternations, and the breast cups only go up to a certain size. I was not told the breast cups only went up to a certain size at the time of purchase nor when I paid additional money for the breast cup to be in my specific size that was in writing.
Fast forward to alternations, I’m told changing the under fabric that was already supposed to be changed would cost me additional. I expressed how this was ridiculous as we already paid them to do it when we bought the dress and it wasn’t done, so they need to work it out. I was then told, the set fee for hemming and bustling on applied to specific dresses, and to bustle my dress it would be an additional fee. This was also outrageous as this was not stated at the time of purchase, and on the paper I was given, in writing, nothing specified qualifiers for types of dresses. The set price stated hemming and bustling for a set fee for the dress purchased.
I expressed the concerns and we ended up coming to an agreement. My dress was great in the end, so I’ll give them 4 stars, however I should not have had to go through all this with a professional business. I’m a professional and I believe in having things in writing. When things are in writing and I have to go back and forth for them to be honored, it makes me question the integrity of the company.

I flew to Bella Bianca with my mother and sister-in-law last year from Kansas and I am SO glad I did!! My consultant was AMAZING!! I actually flew there for a specific dress and wasn't "in love" with it as I wanted to be. My consultant overheard me tell my sister-in-law that I thought another dress was beautiful and she snuck it back to my changing room while I wasn't looking. It was only the third dress I had tried on and I was SOLD!!! She helped me pair it with the perfect veil, crystal belt and added straps to it since it was strapless. We finished our session with a glass of champagne as I celebrated saying YES to the dress! Thank you Bella Bianca for giving me the best experience! I LOVED my dress!

Where do I begin with this incredible and inspiring group of women?! I started the search for my wedding dress in the middle of a pandemic, so I truly did not know what to expect from the entire process. Bella Bianca was the first stop in my line-up of stores, so again I went into the experience with an open mind given the times we are in. I have to say that from day one, the ladies at Bella Bianca went above and beyond to make me feel like the most special bride in the world. I was lucky enough to have Taylor as my bridal consultant, who ultimately helped me pick THE dress. Not only did she listen intently to what I dreamed of as a bride, but provided helpful feedback and insight thanks to her extensive experience in the wedding industry. She did not pressure me at all into buying the dress that day, but instead gave me the advice to think about this decision and do some more try-ons before committing. Honestly, it did not take long for me to realize that no other store compared to my experience at Bella Bianca, and no other dress took my breath away like the one Taylor found for me. When I returned to Bella Bianca to buy the dress, Taylor helped me accessorize my dress with the most stunning veil, hairpiece, and earrings. They were even able to custom-make the accessories gold to match the rest of my jewelry on my wedding day! Taylor made sure that my "yes" to the dress/accessories was so special, and even had champagne there for me and my family on that day.
Additionally, I did all of my alterations at Bella Bianca, which I highly recommend. The staff there was so knowledgeable, talented, and insightful. They even provided advice on undergarments to help everything sit seamlessly on the wedding day. Throughout my fitting process, I had the incredible consultant Raychel by my side. She stopped by each one of my appointments and was not only my hype girl but also provided helpful feedback during each fitting. It always made my day to see her!
On my last dress fitting, both Taylor and Raychel came to see me in my dress. I cannot tell you how much it meant to me to have both of these ladies be so dedicated in each step of this process and truly being cheerleaders for me along the way. My dress was truly a dream on our wedding day, and I continue to get compliments about it to this day! I will never forget how incredible I felt on our wedding day, and I will always have a special place in my heart for Bella Bianca and the incredible women who work here!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. After a few disheartening appointments at other bridal salons, I was finally able to find the dress of my dreams here! Taylor did a fantastic job combining aspects that I was looking for in a dress with her design expertise to help me find the perfect gown. The showroom itself is beautiful and carries a wide variety of gorgeous dresses at different price points. The appointment never felt rushed, and I didn't feel like anyone was trying to "upsell" me. Bella Bianca's team did such a great job of making me and my bridal party feel special; and to top it all off, we all celebrated the occasion with a glass of champagne! I HIGHLY recommend them for Chicagoland brides!

Going wedding dress shopping is something I've dreamt of for a long time. My experience at Bella Bianca exceeded all expectations and was everything I could've hoped for! From the second you walk into their gorgeous salon, you feel so special.
My stylist, Lauren, was so sweet and provided honest & knowledgeable feedback and opinions. My Bella Bianca appointment was in the morning, followed by another appointment. I ended up cutting my second appointment short because I kept comparing every dress to one I found at Bella Bianca earlier. I got in the car and called Lauren to tell her we were on our way back to officially say yes to my dream dress!
Thank you, Lauren & Bella Bianca, for helping me find my dream dress and create such a special and memorable moment!

Bella Bianca created such an incredible, memorable experience for me. Kiara is absolutely amazing and helped me find the dress of my dreams! The first dress I tried on, that on the hanger I didn’t think I would like, was beautiful and turned out to be the one!! Thank you, Kiara, for everything and finding my dress! As a COVID bride who had to postpone her wedding date three times, Bella Bianca was very understanding, supportive and communicative of what to do as far as dress pick up and dress alterations, plus changing of dates. The staff is so sweet and very welcoming the moment you walk through the door. I highly recommend Bella Bianca to find your dream dress!

She made me feel so comfortable and provided honest feedback when I asked for it (super nice because I was stuck between two dresses). I can’t wait to go back to pick up my beautiful dress! I would definitely recommend going here to make all your bridal dreams come true.

I could not have asked for a better experience with my wedding dress! I went to Bella Bianca because I knew I was looking for a Hayley Page dress. The whole experience from start to finish was great. I went in with an original wedding date of 9/12/2020 and when COVID hit, Bella Bianca was accommodating and made arrangements for my alterations to begin with a better timeline for the new November 2020 date. The whole staff was friendly and always kept up with phone calls to remind me of the dates I was scheduled to come in. I can certainly say that in a time of even HIGHER stress wedding planning- Bella Bianca did not add any stress or concern to my plate. Very pleasant and easy to work with!

Bella Biance was the absolute best! My consultant was incredible, nice, extremely patient, professional, and fun. She really helped me picking out a veil. She also gave other great ideas and advice for other parts of my wedding. The team at Bella Bianca keeps in touch with you throughout the entire process with updates. I was a covid bride who did a small intimate wedding and is postponing the large reception, which meant constantly checking in to ensure my dress would get to the store on time, needing to have a plan for how I would wear the dress twice, figuring out future cleaning and alterations. Bella Bianca helped with all of that and I feel extremely confident that because of their help my dress will be perfect for both events! The difference was clear when I went to David's bridal (because it was a closer location for my bridesmaids) for bridesmaids dresses. They did not have the personalized and high level customer care like Bella Bianca did.

I showed her a silhouette of a dress I saw online from another retailer that was over my budget and she picked out dress that was very similar and within my budget on the first dress she showed me. That dress ended up being MY wedding dress and I couldn't be more pleased. She was so lovely to work with, she really cares about her customers and remembers you each time you go in for fittings/accessories. It is really a breath of fresh air knowing that this company is very invested in making their customers happy throughout the entire process.

I had an awesome experience at Bella Bianca! Kiara went above and beyond to help me find my dress. She took the time to properly pin the dresses I was trying on, even pinning the front to really help me see the backs of dresses, too. I described what I was looking for, and the first two dresses she pulled were the two I ended up deciding between! She even bobby pinned my hair the way I want it on my wedding day to really help me envision the feel of the dress and veil. I never felt pressured or rushed. The store is super clean and well lit, as well. Overall 10/10 experience, I would recommend Bella Bianca and Kiara to every bride!

I absolutely loved my bridal appointment with Taylor! She has got to be the sweetest, kindest consultant ever! She made my experience unforgettable. She didn’t rush me out, even after I said yes to my dress I was able to enjoy the moment and wear it longer than I thought I would be able to before we took my measurements. I felt like she also really listened to my ideas. I also had the pleasure of dealing with Emily before my appointment. I really wanted to try on a particular gown but it wasn’t one that they had at the location. So Emily contacted the designers and got the dress in for me to try on, and it ended up being my dream dress. She was very accommodating and knew what she was doing. Very sweet team. Can’t give them enough stars!

Unfortunately I didn’t have a great bridal experience when I went into the store. Nobody greeted us when we arrived and the appointment started late. A lot of my time was spent in the dressing room waiting for the consultant. It seemed that the large groups got better service and more attention.
I went with one other person. If you plan to go solo or with one person, I highly recommend looking elsewhere if the experience is important to you. If you plan to go in a large group there is plenty of seating and you will probably get better service.

I worked with Kiara the first day when trying on dresses and she was so kind and helpful. She listened to what I was interested in and the budget I was trying to stay within. We also went through their recommended seamstress to alter my wedding dress and my dress fit perfectly and was more than everything I could have dreamed off. THANK YOU to Kiara and the whole Bella Bianca team!

I actually found "the" dress while shopping in New York City, but given that I live in Chicago, I was desperate to find a salon that carried the dress close by so that the alterations would be a bit easier to finish. I was thrilled when I found Bella Bianca! Although it was a bit of a haul to get to Oak Brook from downtown Chicago, the drive was totally worth it. Taylor was lovely and helped us find a beautiful veil to go with the dress I had already found. I must say that the alterations experience was really incredible. I had to go to my first alterations alone, but my seamstress and the other women who work at the store we incredibly helpful in identifying the parts of the dresses that needed to be tweaked. At the second fitting, the bustle and length looked great, but there was quite a bit of bunching due to the lining. Being someone who is reluctant to complain, I was hesitant to say anything, but once again, the women who work at the salon were there to advocate for me and help articulate the specific things that needed to be fixed. I am still blown away by how beautifully the dress fit on the day of - it's more than I ever could have imagined. Thank you to the incredible team at Bella Bianca!

Gorgeous salon with a great variety of dresses. Kiara was a sweetheart to work with, she was patient and really understood what I was looking for. She did an impeccable job explaining an alteration we wanted to make to the designer and when my dress came in, the customization was perfect.

Kiara was amazing!!!!!!! For whatever reason, I was really nervous about shopping for my gown! I had gone to a local salon prior to going to Bella Bianca. When I wanted into BB, the dresses there blew all of the other dresses I had seen out of the water. Kiara was patient with me. She brought dresses for me to try on that were exactly what I was looking for. I found my dream Lazaro gown within an hour. Kiara even pinned my hair back for me with a veil to give me the full vision. The entire staff at BB is so great. I ended up getting all of my wedding accessories, including a gorgeous hair piece at the salon. After meeting with the seamstress I ended up doing my alterations at the salon as well! They were so knowledgeable I ended up not feeling comfortable going anywhere else. I recommend Bella Bianca to any bride out there looking for her special dress.

I had an amazing experience at Bella Bianca! From the moment I stepped into the Oak Brook location, I felt so special. My consultant, Taylor, genuinely cared so much about helping me find my dream dress and she did a great job. I showed Taylor a few photos of what I thought my style in dresses is + she instantly pulled dresses that I LOVED. I tried on maybe 5 dresses and found the perfect one that day! I couldn't imagine a better experience in dress shopping. Thank you Bella Bianca for being amazing! I couldn't recommend shopping here for your dress more.

The staff at Bella Bianca made me feel so special! Taylor chose dresses for me to try on that fit my style and budget. I ended up purchasing the very first dress she brought for me to try on and I adore it! I also chose to have my alterations done at the salon and my dress fit perfectly. I did purchase my accessories elsewhere because I found similar items in other stores for a much lower price.

I had a fantastic experience at Bella Bianca! Taylor was an amazing stylist to work with, especially while shopping solo. She has so much knowledge of the dresses, fabrics, cuts, and designers--it made the decision process so much easier to have her wisdom and experience to guide me. She was patient and very focused on listening and responding to my feedback. She is also just a pleasure to interact with and easy to talk to--qualities that make a stressful process so much easier! I shopped at five other bridal salons in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs and none of the stores or stylists came close to providing the level of service and support provided by Taylor and Bella Bianca. Taylor was the only stylist I worked with who called me to follow up after my first visit and discuss other dresses/styles I was considering. She helped me to brainstorm about other dresses to consider--including dresses that I couldn't buy at Bella Bianca. Taylor was so attentive and wonderful at her job that she was able to find the perfect dress for me, which I had never seen on display or on a website and had not even described to her as the dress I was looking for. Taylor was also able to give me lots of information about Bella Bianca's alterations and what to expect from that process. Her colleague who oversees alterations came to speak with me during each of my visits to talk me through the process and address my specific questions about the dresses I tried on. I cannot say enough great things about Taylor and Bella Bianca! Everyone I interacted with was professional, knowledgable, pleasant, and genuinely concerned about helping me to find the right dress and not just make a sale. I can say from experience that unfortunately you cannot expect that at every bridal salon. I am so grateful for the excellent service and guidance, which ultimately led to finding the perfect dress!

Bella Bianca was my second time trying on dresses but it felt like a whole new experience! I had tried on dresses at David's Bridal the previous day and thought I had found the one and walked into the salon with some apprehension and a sparkle aversion. I worked with Kiara and she did a fantastic job! We had a good conversation going the whole time and she pulled dresses that really helped me hone in on what I was looking for. She pulled a Tara Keely dress that I loved and was my second choice but I ultimately went with something my family picked that I said I didn't like when I saw it on a mannequin because it was too sparkly. Funny how that works! My sister wasn't going to be able to make it until the very end of my appointment, but Kiara set up a 4 p.m. appointment so we could come back and my sister could see the dress. Celebrating with champagne at the end was a perfect end to the day and a great experience with Kiara and Bella Bianca! I can't wait for my dress to come in and see everything come together!

I originally tried on dresses at the location in Chicago with some friends, and happened to absolutely fall in love with the last dress that I tried on. I had an appointment with the location in Oakbrook with my mom, grandma, and MOH in a few weeks and knew that I needed to try on this dress again with that group, knowing that this was for sure the one. However, I didn't want to jump the gun and wanted to make sure that all of the important women in my life would be present for the final decision. They were able to transfer the dress to the Oakbrook location for me to try on for my next appointment, which was greatly appreciated! The customer service at Bella Bianca is incredible. Throughout the entire process, everyone from the receptionist to my consultant to my seamstress all were incredibly nice, responsive and always had a smile on their faces. I always felt comfortable asking questions and reaching out if I had any concerns or worries. I also received reminder phone calls and emails before each and every appointment, which is incredible!
My consultant was Katie and she did a phenomenal job, from dealing with some cranky attitudes to making sure that I felt comfortable trying on dresses to giving her advice for accessories. I was so thankful for her guidance during the entire process and it was really beneficial knowing that you were being taken care of especially with such a big and important purchase. They do their own in house alterations, which start about six weeks before your wedding day. This made the entire process so much easier than trying to find your own seamstress and figuring out alterations on your own. I had no issues throughout the entire process and trusted Katie and Bella Bianca to ensure that everything would turn out smoothly. Even afterwards, I reached out to see how/where I should get my dress cleaned and was given advice by Katie. I would highly recommend Bella Bianca for top notch service and quality to any brides who are looking for a dress for their big day!

Bella Bianca gave me such a wonderful experience! From day one Taylor and the ladies were helpful and accommodating until the end! They are supportive and fun too! I gave Taylor a few details of what my vision was and she was on point! 3 dresses were brought out and I said yes to the one!! I am sad the process is over because they made the dress process my favorite wedding experience. My alterations turned about beautiful and fit me perfect! Thank you Bella Bianca!

From my first appointment to my final fitting everything about Bella Bianca exceeded by expectations. I worked with Taylor Rompel and cannot speak her praises enough. I wouldn't say I was super excited about dress shopping - it seemed so daunting and exhausting but Taylor made the entire experience so enjoyable and painless. Bella Bianca has a wide selection of dresses at different price points, and Taylor did a great job of showing me a wide selection of dresses until I had my "this is the dress" moment. I highly recommend this boutique and all the wonderful stylists and seamstresses that work there. They do everything in their power to make sure you're happy and ensure you'll feel beautiful in your dress on your wedding day.

Oh boy, where do I even begin? While this is a bit of a late review (purchased my dress in March of '19), I had the absolute pleasure of working with Taylor Rompel not once, twice, but I believe four total times. While most of the friends I have who were once engaged found their dress quickly, it took me over 103 dresses to find the perfect one. Taylor, through all of this, was so patient and kind with me, which is something that I didn't quite receive at other bridal boutiques. She went above and beyond to make sure that I loved the dress more than anything else, but was never in one instance pushy just to get me out of there. There were many instances where I would say that I simply didn't 'like "something"', but each time she was able to figure out what that 'something' was and we were able to make progress to finding my dress! I am so incredibly thankful to have been paired up with such an amazing individual who not only took the time to really get to know me through these fittings, but genuinely cared that the dress I wore was the one for me. All the girls at Bella Bianca Bridal Couture in Oak Brook were absolutely amazing from things like scheduling appointments, to second opinions. I will forever be grateful to have purchased my dress here!
