Bella Bridal Gallery

Patient, kind, very very accommodating. 100/10 recommend!

My daughter found her dress here! They are professional yet really helpful and nice! The dress selection is amazing. If you are looking for a place that is helpful and friendly go here!

After having the absolute worst experience at a shop in Grand Rapids, we traveled to Bella Bridal for one of their All Who Wander trunk shows. Isabel, Sonia, and Clara were all there to welcome us with open arms. They listened to what I was looking for and even let my party choose a few options. They were a very calming presence for a very anxious and nervous bride. I am so thankful to have found them!

Was really easy to work with them! They went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress for our big day!

Finding my dream dress was such a breeze! From start to finish the staff (Hey Isabel!) was excellent to work with and let me run the appointment based on how I felt in each dress. Never did I think I would have picked the dress I did, but once Isabel put me in it and I saw myself in the mirror, I just knee it was the one! Easy breezy and perfect!

Was a great experience for me, my bridesmaids and my mom that I brought with me! Isabel was so good at listening to my thoughts on the dresses we tried on and had great suggestions based on what I liked and didn’t like about each dress. So excited for my dress to come in!

I chose Bella Bridal because I was searching for a specific designer and dress and they happened to carry it. I LOVED my dress and I'm so happy they carried the designer! However, I did not enjoy my experience here. Other bridal salons made gown shopping feel like the special experience that it is. After all, you only do it once! Bella had very strict rules within the salon, only two guests, no pictures until you purchase a dress, etc. My experience with the staff was just okay. When I was trying on dresses, they were very quick to give their opinion, rather than letting me decide what I liked or didn't about a dress. I chose to do alterations there and ran into some issues. The first fitting went fine, but when I went back, the dress was clearly hemmed too short. (I was wearing the same shoes as my first fitting.) When my mom and I mentioned it to the staff, they insisted that it was fine how it was. We had to convince them that it wasn't to my liking. They told us the dress could be let out but were clearly rushing us out of the salon for appointments coming in. (We had only been in the salon about 30 minutes, so we weren't going over our time.) They did not reassure us that the dress could be let out enough and with just a few weeks until my wedding, let me tell you I was STRESSED! We talked to the salon after the fitting and then they reassured us the dress would be fixed, but that really should have been what they said during my fitting. When I shared with them that it felt like they were hurrying us along, the staff member told us that it was because there was a bride who was trying on Martina Liana dresses so they needed to focus on her. It felt really unprofessional to admit that to a client, especially one who had already purchased the same designer and was paying (for very expensive) alterations. I knew that fittings would be a bit stressful and I expected that there would be tweaks to make, but what I didn't expect was the pushback that I received from the staff when I told them my dress was at least an inch too short. Seriously, you could see my whole foot! When I went back to pick up the dress, it was fixed. The seamstress was skilled and the final dress fit exactly how I wanted. They have some beautiful dresses in the salon and I'm sure their staff had good intentions. However, wedding dress shopping and dress fittings are a once-in-a-lifetime event. It didn't feel like my time was respected or there was an attempt to make the experience a special one.

I completely understand having a cancellation policy but this boutique would rather you come in with Covid then waive the fee. I offered to send them my positive test results from a clinic and told me that Covid wasn’t an excuse to cancel. The best part was I told them I knew someone else who could come in my place but they had already filled the time slot. So if you are someone or have someone attending your appointment whom may get very sick if they catch Covid I would be careful going here because who knows some other bride may of not just paid the fee and would show up and get the whole salon sick.

Thank you to Sonia and the Bella Bridal team! I had such an amazing experience as a Martina Liana bride. From my first dress trial to the final fitting (3 years later due to the pandemic) they were just as accommodating and their service never wavered through it all. I am so incredibly thankful to the staff at Bella Bridal for being so knowledgeable in the dresses that they alter and services that they provide. I felt so taken care of and knew my dress was in the absolute best hands. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable and special!

Totally recommend this bridal shop! Amazing staff and alterations turned out stunning to my Essence of Australia Wedding dress. Thank you :)

DO NOT do business here. Had to cancel an appointment because the mother of the bride was rushed to the hospital. Gave 24 hours notice, but they still insisted on charging us $50... They have zero compassion! When we tried to call and discuss with the store, they threatened to call the police. What a scam. Great way to guarantee we will not be purchasing a dress from you. Recommend the Wedding Shoppe instead. They are so sweet and were incredibly accommodating of our situation.

Amazing

They made several promises on my dress that they failed to deliver on. Do not recommend!

Very Professional…Friendly… I Loved My Dress & Veil!

I loved every minute of working with Hannah and all of the other ladies at this bridal shop! I went with my mom to look for wedding dresses and this was the first stop that we made. I fell in love with the second dress that I tried on and immediately knew it was the one. All of the ladies at Bella Bridal made me feel so beautiful and special. I would recommend this bridal shop based on how my experience went, it was all around amazing and I have nothing negative to say. They made me feel like family and were very honest ( which was super helpful)! Every time I came out of the dressing room, every single employee was helping and making me feel so special. Everyone should have the same experience that I did! I highly recommend!!!

I came in with my grandma and mom and really was hesitant of finding a dress in my size that I liked. I have had eating disorders in the past and was really nervous about the experience. the team here was wonderful and really helped me focus on fit and didn't mention size until measurements came. They were sweet and kind and remembered me when I came back in for alterations. I had clara do my alterations and was sooo impressed. especially for a ballgown it came out stunning! could not recommend this place higher!!

I had such a seamless experience at Bella Bridal! Our wedding was moved several times because of COVID, so needleless to say it was a stressful time. Every time I went in the shop the women were so sweet and attentive. It was the one part of wedding planning I looked forward too! Not to mention I was and still am obsessed with my dress!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I had such an amazing experience with Bella Bridal! They were so sweet and helpful during the whole process. They made picking out a dress stress free, fun, and easy. The first dress they picked out for me to try on was the one! My dress was so beautiful and made me feel so confident on my special day. Thank you so much Bella Bridal!

I found my dream dress here and the staff were so incredibly sweet and kind. They squeezed in a last minute appointment for me after being cancelled on my a bridal salon in Birmingham two days before. I couldn’t have had a better experience.

My experience with Bella Bridal was absolutely wonderful! This was my first bridal shopping appointment, and Barbara, my consultant, blew me away with her patience, knowledge, and feedback. She was so engaging and personable, and really helped guide the process. I went in unsure of what style I was leaning towards, but by the end of my appointment, had said yes to the first dress I tried on. The entire staff was so friendly and made it such a positive and energizing experience! I’m in love with my dress and cannot wait to wear it!

I can't say enough AWFUL things about this place. When I first started my dress shopping journey I purposely went to a boutique so I could have something original. I didn't want to look like every other bride. So when they charged me 50$ to even have an appt. I said okay. I then get to the gallery and find that we are not allowed to take pictures in any of these dresses. Only if I decide to buy one, and I will not receive my 50$ back if I don't buy one there that day. Again, I said okay. When I try on the dress that I would later purchase I was very happy. I really did love the dress, however it was $4,000 so I did want to be able to explore further options. Almost immediately the elderly saleswoman with the short gray hair, and the rude young sales associate with the red frizzy hair says "well this is a trunk show gown. So it's only here temporarily and there is a huge chance if you came back tomorrow it would be gone" so with the pressure on I was forced to make a decision. I asked for a moment of privacy with my mother in law to discuss, and they stayed in the room the entire time offering input during our PRIVATE conversation. I end up buying the gown because I really did not want to miss an opportunity to have a one of a kind trunk show gown. They also let me know that the dress only came in champagne so I would not be able to have the dress in white. I was okay with this considering my ethnicity and skin tone, the dress basically looked white against my skin. Fast forward to my first fitting, I walk in to see a young lady trying on my dress.....that shouldn't be there because I "bought the only trunk show gown they had" but I stayed quiet because I already spent 4grand and another thousand in alterations. One week before my wedding I see my best friend from highschool has gotten married and would you believe she had the same dress..... in white. So me being me, I messaged her. She informed that she bought her dress from Bella bridal gallery and she was so happy because she got the last one... and it was a trunk show special. The tears, the anger, the betrayal all of it was just really overwhelming. I call them to have a discussion and they tell me I can come in, when I get there, there is ANOTHER girl trying on the dress while the red head explained to her that if she didn't buy it today, then it wouldn't be there. I was beyond disgusted. I spoke to the old woman with the grey hair. She told me it was my own fault. That they didn't lie about anything. While I literally stood right there and listened to them spin the same shit to another bride that they did to me. I'm standing in the dressing room sobbing and they said nothing. No words at all. I'm asking you to go to as many places as you can all while avoiding Bella bridal. They sell these young women dreams. Make them believe they are one of kind and exclusive and that's just not the case. As brides, as women, as humans, we deserve better then to be scammed by a group of old bitches. We don't spend all this money to look like every other bride. Don't be naive like myself and get walked on by this David's bridal knock off. This place is disgusting. From the staff, to the lies, to the blatant disrespect for a bride on the biggest day of her life, everything about this place is awful

They were amazing!!! Listened and help me find my dress!!

These ladies are so sweet and helpful and smart they care about what you look good in and they hear you and they pick out the best dresses I had a lot of fun today thank you Hannah and it’s the best prices and quality dresses

I set an appointment to come try on wedding dresses. They were ready for me and explained how everything works before trying anything on. My friends and future mother-in-law grabbed a few dresses they thought would suit me and we just took them all and tried them on. Barbara and Sonia were wonderful at making me feel beautiful and comfortable, especially since I am not always the most comfortable with myself. Trying on dresses has never been easier and faster. I came in with a style in mind and we were able to narrow down styles and features to get me as close to what I wanted as possible (the style I was in love with was not in store). Saying yes to the dress was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this store to anyone!

Bella Bridal was such a dream to work with! Dress shopping made me nervous thinking I wouldn’t look good in anything if it didn’t fit. Boy, did those ladies prove me wrong! My dress was the fourth dress I tried on and I said YES to it without hesitation. I only went to one other bridal salon (out of appointment courtesy) and they only showed me Bella Bridal was the BEST at making my experience positive, memorable, and truly enjoyable. They did my alterations as well and I had ZERO issues. She did an amazing job helping me feel stunning on my wedding day!

I can't say enough nice things about the staff I worked with at Bella Bridal. We went to several bridal salons before coming to Bella and they were so helpful and really understood what my daughter was looking for. Marlene helped us when my daughter came the first time and found the dress she loved. She didn't try to bring out dresses that my daughter wasn't interested in. We then worked with her earlier this week for my daughters visit to try on her dress. Hannah was also there and was so friendly and helpful. I read some of the other reviews and have a hard time believing that people had such a negative experience. This was the friendliest salon we went to by far. Thank you Hannah for making it such a great experience.

I had a great experience at Bella Bridal. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on, though I took a few days to think it over before committing. The staff were very helpful and patient while I tried on dresses (big decisions are hard for me), and the one I picked was beautiful, but I had some requests for alterations to change the look of it slightly. All of my requests for alterations were accommodated without any trouble, and the dress was almost perfect in the end. I say "almost" because when it was bustled, it still dragged on the floor a little, and I ended up stepping on it quite a bit while I was dancing. I felt rushed to accept the alterations when I went for my fittings, so maybe if I had taken more time, I would have noticed the trouble with the length. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, though, so I would definitely recommend this shop.

They charge over retail price and call it a discount, when you question them they start screaming at you. The owner is very unpleasant and really does not belong in this business or any business for that matter. Take your money else where these people don't belong in business.

Stay far away from this shop! The owner is rude and very unprofessional! They charge more than any other shop around. We were suppose to get the same day discount and trunk show discount but instead they ended up charging us more than what the retail price is for the dress. Take your money else where!

I found my wedding dress at Bella Bridal and overall had a great experience! They were one of the only bridal salons in Michigan that carried designer Martina Liana's dress line. Overall the staff was friendly and welcoming, however, there were a few encounters where they felt pushy to get sales. The only thing I was disappointed in was the cost of alterations. I would recommend doing your research & getting alterations done elsewhere! They start at $850 minimum, and I barely had my dress taken in. It was extremely expensive for the work I had done, and I'm sure there are plenty of places that could offer more reasonable prices. Take the time & do the research!

I went to Bella Bridal for my wedding gown, and it was an OK experience. During the try on I felt a bit rushed by the lady who helped me into and out of the dresses. I didn’t even have time to look at the tags or check what designer it was. She stayed in the dressing room the whole time with me, which I don’t mind, but I thought it was a little weird. It’s obvious they don’t want you to find out who makes the dress/what style it is because they want you to buy from them. I don’t blame them, they just want to get your business. They also bribe you with 15% off your first visit with them. So if you want to shop around, definitely save this place for one of your last shop stops! I told them my budget was 2000-2500 for my dress and I ended up with a beautiful Essence of Australia dress for $2435. So they kept it in my range, but I do feel like I could’ve got it for a lower price somewhere else. Also, do NOT get your dress altered by them. They charge a minimum of $850 for alterations and when I asked how much it would’ve been for my alterations, they told me that it could go up much higher than that... so there is no set budget when you go in there for that. When I went in to pick up my dress/make the final payment, I told them I wanted to look into other options and told me I didn’t have enough time, got an attitude and rushed me out after I had paid. After looking at the reviews for their alterations, I’m VERY glad I didn’t go through them. The reviews are very poor and I found a wonderful place that did an amazing job called Bella Alterations in Livonia and only paid $350 for everything! Angela and her team are very talented and she even added a bustle in for me at the last minute. DO YOUR RESEARCH LADIES & NEVER SETTLE!

Bella Bridal was amazing!! Every staff member there super attentive and very sweet. I was visiting from TX and wanted to find a dress but was super nervous, I felt so taken care of and ended up finding my dream dress!! I felt very confident with the instructions I was given about traveling with the dress and where to go for alterations. The prices are great too! Highly highly recommend coming here!

I had an amazing experience at bridal couture! They had sooo many options that I absolutely loved and were so nice. They really wanted to get to know my family and I and were very personable. Great place to go!

The absolute BEST experience! Bella was my third shop in my dress hunt and by far blew everything else out of the water. I walked in and was greeted so welcoming - I really didn't know what I wanted, but had a few inspo photos that I did like. In the (2) images I showed that ladies they responded with, "we know just the thing"...well, that "thing" was the 2nd dress I tried on and the dress I ended up saying yes to. These ladies made me feel like a celebrity! I felt so beautiful in anything I came out in and it was a fun fashion show with my mom and sister. There was zero pressure on picking a dress! The ball was all in my court and they wanted to support however possible. I honestly feel like I made new friends that day and will forever carry this memory <3

I found my wedding dress at Bella Bridal, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! I was welcomed by Barbara and she was very helpful and attentive to what I was looking for as well as my budget. She went out of her way to help me find dresses that she thought I would like, and she always gave me really practical advice about what kind of dress matches my personality, the vibe of our venue, and even the time of year we're getting married! She was super willing to let me try on my favorite dresses at the end back-to-back in order to really compare them, and the other employees in the store were super honest and helpful in providing input when I asked. She even helped to attach off-the-shoulder sleeves every time to help me visualize my final look, and she picked a veil that matched the dress extremely well! The best part was that I'm in a bit of a time crunch for my wedding in a few months, and she said she'd be able to guarantee that it comes in on time for me to get alterations in, so I was soooo grateful for that!

This was the first store I went to and where I got my dress from. Bella bridal staff is incredibly sweet and helpful. I live in Europe and the costumer service and logistics were impecable. Great selection of dresses and designers, one of the best bridal stores in Michigan by far.

I had a great experience at Bella Bridal! Everyone was super friendly and made you feel like a Queen. Bella Bridal was the second place I went to and I was struggling to find the perfect dress that I wasn't trying to reconstruct in someway. As soon as I walked into Bella Bridal, it was love at first sight and I ended up with the first dress I tried on there! They were all really helpful in creating the perfect look for my day. From the dress, to the hair piece, to the veil. Everything was perfect and I absolutely loved my Martina Liana dress! Pros to a covid wedding is that I get to wear this beautiful gown twice!

I had an amazing experience with Bella Bridal! My intention was to just look at dresses, but I ended up finding my dream dress. The team helped me find my exact style, provided honest feedback, and made the process a breeze. My best friend also bought her dress at Bella Bridal and had a great experience there as well. I would recommend this salon to any bride-to-be!

Wonderful staff and experience! The day of my fitting I came in with a few ideas of what I was looking for. The staff was able to pull so many beautiful dresses and I ended up finding my dream dress that first visit. They are also incredibly knowledgeable on each and every dress and designer they carry. I would highly recommend them for any bride-to-be!

Sonia was amazing! She has such great expertise and made me feel comfortable the entire appointment. She was very warm and welcoming of my guests. Sonia helped me pick out my dream dress and I cannot wait for it to arrive at the salon!

Very professional! Covid-19 smart and clean! Had a lot to try on for my size (20-22) I got a beautiful Randy Finoli!!

I will recommend Bella Bridal to every bride-to-be I meet! They are a very professional establishment that provides incredible service. They have a beautiful selection of dresses, and not to mention an incredible and talented seamstress. They took a lot of stress off of me with how easy they made the process from the first time I called to make an appointment, to the last time I came in to take my dress home. All the ladies in the shop were so sweet and helpful every time we came in too!

My experience with Bella Bridal was nothing short of perfect! It took me one dress shopping visit to find “the one”! I had a vision of sleeves on my dress and they were able to make me custom sleeves to match my dress! It turned out perfect and I got so many compliments on my dress and truly felt like Cinderella at the wedding. The entire staff was so kind and professional, even throughout the pandemic! I could not recommend the team at Bella Bridal more.

Bella Bridal has the most beautiful dresses! I found it on the first night of going out and I am the most indesisive person there is to meet! The staff was so nice and friendly and they made the dress look amazing! I loved the way it fit and loved the dress -- its the BEST thing I have ever bought myself! Thank you for having the most perfect dress!

Bella Bridal was everything I would have asked for for my first time wedding dress shopping. The staff was so friendly and helpful! Tamara was amazing and helped me pick out my wedding dress on my first visit. I did not know what to expect and needed some guidance and they made it such a great experience. Recommend 10000%!!

I can not say enough great things about the entire team at Bella Bridal Gallery since working with them! I came in with images of a few different styles from Essence of Australia and they very quickly had a great understanding of what I was looking for within my budget. I was scheduled with Marlene, but the entire team assisted with my appointment. They were very honest and were willing to make any modifications, if necessary! I am typically such an indecisive person, but they found a dress that had all of the elements I was looking for and ordered it that day! I honestly thought I was going to have to try on 50+ dresses at different salons to find my dress, but it was the third I tried on. If my first appointment is any indication, I'm confident each following appointment/fitting will be just as easy!

Bella Bridal was a dream come true for my first wedding dress appointment and the customer was superb! Marlene was very helpful on the phone and during the appointment making sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed! All of the staff were so kind and encouraging and they all chipped in to work together and make our day perfect!! I would 100% recommend Bella Bridal to any bride looking for their perfect dress with the best staff you could ask for!

Great customer service. I tried on probably 10 dresses on two trips to Bella and both times Marlene helped me. She was so kind and always took time to point things out on the dresses that made me look good and how they could be modified if I didn't like something. Very up front and informative. I am so Happy I choose Bella Bridal and said yes to the dress!

Chances are, if you have a dream wedding gown in mind, Bella Bridal probably has it. Their dresses are absolutely STUNNING and they brought my vision into reality with the first dress I tried on. That being said, if your dress is the item you're looking to get a deal on, Bella Bridal is not going to be your most competitive option. However, if your dress is a budget item you're planning to invest in, I highly recommend visiting Bella Bridal! The entire staff were a joy to work with from the first visit to every alteration. Their seamstress on staff did an incredible job (even when I lost 2 inches at my waist due to wedding stress!) This team has high ratings for a reason. Go see them!!

I had the most AMAZING experience with Bella Bridal! The staff listened to what I was looking for & picked many dresses of this sort for me to try on. They also picked the dress that I ended up choosing and it was the complete opposite of what I thought I wanted. They kindly encouraged me to try it on anyways & oh boy they were so right! The dress was absolutely perfect & so special. It takes serious skill & care to listen to a clients wants & needs, but also encourage something else that you think might be the right fit for them. My dress was everything I wanted & more! Not to mention the owner & the staff are absolute gems! They cared about my dress & my wedding, but more importantly they cared about me as a person. There are so many more amazing things I could say about Bella Bridal, but the last thing is do yourself a favor & book an appointment at this bridal salon! You will not regret it!

The ladies at Bella Bridal are all extremely kind, professional, attentive, and will make sure your dress is everything you’ve ever wanted. I am so glad I came into Bella Bridal we turned a dress into my dream dress with a few added details, and it fit beautifully! If you are wanting a wonderful experience I recommend coming here!

The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating in helping me pick out the perfect dress for my outdoor wedding! They had great suggestions regarding the alterations and all of the accessories to compliment the dress. The whole process was very relaxed despite being on a tight timeframe and I was able to pick up my dress after alterations with plenty of time.

I had such a wonderful experience with the ladies of Bella Bridal Gallery! Clara, Sonia, Heather, and Marlene were so helpful throughout the entire process! Every question I had and when I had to throw a curve ball their way, they had it handled!! I’d recommend them to everyone looking for a great experience and the perfect dress for their big day. Thank you, ladies! ! ❤️❤️

The wonderful staff at Bella Bridal are so kind, accommodating, and cheerful - when I was trying on dresses, my consultant Heather knew what direction to guide me, but also let me make my own decision with no pressure whatsoever.. They were accommodating when I wanted to make a change to my dress three weeks out from my wedding, and the alterations crew did amazing work - my dress fit just perfectly. I came back to them for all of my bridesmaids’ dresses as well :) you’re in excellent hands at Bella Bridal!

I had a fantastic experience with Bella Bridal. Each time I went in I was treated with respect and care by every staff person who I encountered. Bella did my dress alterations as well and it turned out beautifully and fit like a glove. Thank you for making my dress shopping experience so magical!
