The Bella team could not be more wonderful if they tried! They took the time to make my visit to the store extra special and right off the bat understood the vision for our wedding day! The team is so friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Months later I still get rave compliments about the bridesmaid dresses we selected and how stunning they were. Special shoutout to Alex for being the best and making our day absolutely magical!
Sophie was very professional, efficient, and a good communicator. I needed my dress quickly and I was accommodated. My dress was beautifully made and so comfortable to wear; perfect Mother-of-the-Groom dress for an outdoor Hawaiian wedding in May! I got compliments galore!
Amazing experince shopping with Bella Bridesmaids in Charleston. They are the BEST ! 100% recommend. Thank you Alex !
I’m so glad my bridesmaids and I decided to go with Bella Bridesmaids for their dresses! We were having so much trouble before finding *quality* cabernet velvet dresses in a variety of flattering styles while still staying in a reasonable price range. It was also important to me that my girls were in dresses that didn’t look like your standard David’s Bridal dress. Thankfully we were able to make a last-minute appointment while everyone was in town visiting and we were able to nail down the dresses! The store had a huge selection of beautiful dresses for the girls to try on and I’m so glad they were able to find their own style while looking cohesive!
I had a clear vision for my bridesmaids dresses, but I wasn't sure I could pull it off. I hoped to have different styles of dress, each in a different shade of blush, which meant quadruple the decisions. Luckily, Lissie and her team at Bella Bridesmaids went above and beyond to help make my vision a reality!
From the moment I arrived at the Charleston location, Lissie treated me and my family like close friends and encouraged me to try on whatever dresses I liked. The problem was I liked too many! I ended up going to the Charleston store twice and having a Zoom call with Lissie when I couldn't be in town. She helped me pick styles and colors that complemented each other, assuring me with her experience and eye for detail that the dresses would blend together seamlessly on the big day. She couldn't have been more patient with me--an anxious bride who knew her vision but wasn't sure how to get there.
The best part? Lissie also assists brides on the day of their wedding...ask about this if you can! She helped get makeup off the back of my dress, checked my hair, fixed my bustle, etc. She was such a calming and assuring presence on my big day--thank you, Lissie!
The Ladies At Bella Bridesmaids answered all my questions, helped me talk myself through crazy decisions & I couldn’t have been happier with my experience! They made everything seamless for me and my bridesmaids!
Absolutely perfect and seamless. Great for bridesmaids all across the country.
Absolutely love Bella Bridesmaids in charleston! They made it super easy to find the color we wanted and have my bridal party all set for the big day. They even helped me get the matching ties for the guys. Highly recommend!
We had so much fun here!! We booked the VIP appointment so we had the whole place to ourselves- it was amazing 🤩
They had some bubbly and doughnuts waiting for us which was such a special touch. The girls here are so friendly and helpful, they made the whole experience awesome! I do wish we had a little more time to pick through the vast selection of dresses - honestly I could have spent all day looking lol
We just finished our order and we are so excited to pick them up!
Seriously, if you’re looking for bridesmaids dresses or flower girl dresses just stop and make an appointment here. You won’t regret it!
All the ladies at Bella's made bridesmaids' dresses such a breeze! Not to mention, the dresses are beautiful and my girls had so many options to pick from, They were very easy to work with and responded quickly via email or phone! I definitely recommended them!!!!
I absolutely loved my experience at Bella Bridesmaids Charleston. I had gone to David's Bridal in search of bridesmaid dresses, but they were not meeting the quality I was looking for. It's hard to find bridesmaid dresses to shop in person for! I was so happy we found Bella. I had a one-on-one appointment with Lizzie, and I instantly knew these dresses were the quality and timeless design I wanted for my bridesmaids. Lizzie pulled dresses as we talked about style, and when I thought I found the one...she went as far as to try on the #2 dress so I could decide! All with my mom on Facetime. I would definitely recommend Bella and for out-of-towners like us, it's worth the drive (from Myrtle Beach). My dresses are scheduled to arrive the first of April for my June 4 wedding.
All of my girls found dresses that they loved. Only issues I had were being told the dresses would be there in "plenty" of time but it was only 4 weeks before my wedding. The girls then had to rush their alternations. They also never answered the phone when we were trying to pick up the dresses which was inconvenient considering their location.
I would absolutely recommend Bella’s. They made the process for my Bridesmaids so easy, and stress free. I am so thankful to have them included as part of my day
The girls at Bella Bridesmaids have been so helpful in every way. They are so easy to reach and promptly return phone calls if unavailable at the time of call. If you are in the market for the perfect bridesmaid dress with the best experience, Bella Bridesmaids is your place!!!!
Alex has been so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process! She has a great eye for building color palettes and helped make my vision of mauve dresses from different designers in different styles come to life. She was happy to meet with me (multiple times) and talk through the decisions and even help me pick a few new dresses when one of my bridesmaids didn't like the style. Alex was quick to follow-up and always had the answer. I would 10/10 recommend shopping here for your bridesmaid dresses!
Alex was seriously the best in all areas of looking for my bridesmaids dresses! Made the process seamless and easy. I brought friends with me to try some on and she had great advice about fit, color, material, you name it. She was awesome and I definitely recommend bella bridesmaids!
I knew when I got engaged that Bella Bridesmaid would be the source of my bridesmaid dresses only because I loved the dresses they had to offer, but I never realized how incredible the customer service would be on top of the perfect dresses! Alex met with me and my soon-to-be sister-in-law to try on dress styles and finalize my pick. She was knowledgable and caught my vision immediately. She made the process easy and checked in periodically as the order deadline approached to keep me and my bridesmaids on track. I can't recommend her and Bella Bridesmaids enough!
I ordered my bridesmaids dresses through the Charleston, SC store and had the most enjoyable, easy experience with Bella Bridesmaids. Alex in the Charleston store was my point of contact, and she assisted with every step of the process from selecting the dress to answering my many questions about the ordering process. She is incredibly professional and kind, and I would recommend this store to everyone looking for bridesmaids dresses.
Alex was amazing in helping me make my last minutes dress need a reality. Bella has a beautiful selection of dresses and the service is top-notch. You won't be disappointed!
I had an amazing experience at Bella Bridesmaids and highly recommend! I was looking for not one but TWO MOB dresses 😅 and wanted something that did not look like a typical MOB dress. They have a large selection and I found both of them! Lissie was so helpful and better yet—honest!
I would highly recommend going to Bella Bridemaids! Their dress options are beautiful and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. We have a COVID mishap with the designer going out of business and they were extremely helpful in picking up the pieces and decreasing all the anxiety that came along with it.
Bella Bridesmaids of Charleston is amazing!! Lissie and Alex are so wonderful and helpful with answering any questions you may have! They know all the ends and outs when it comes to finding the perfect bridesmaids dress! I was so thankful that I decided to get my dresses from Bella! Highly recommended!
Where do I even begin!? Lissie and Alex are two ladies you definitely want as part of your wedding planning experience. As a wedding planner in Charleston, there was NO doubt in my mind that Bella Bridesmaids is where we would be getting the dresses for my girls. Every step of the way is so fun with these girls :)
They spent so much time with me trying to decide on a color palette, as I cannot seem to make decisions easily for my own wedding! My girls then got to go to Bella Bridesmaids to try on and pick their styles which was the highlight of the whole process. It made for a super fun part of bachelorette weekend! Afterward, they handled everything: from creating a digital showroom, to emailing my girls, to confirming the order shortly after. Here we are a little over a month later with all of the dresses ordered and awaiting their arrival! If you are looking for a seamless, fun, stress-free experience for your bridesmaid dresses...look no more! This is absolutely where you want to go!
Even through this crazy year, my consultant Lissie, made sure that everyone felt included while still meeting my vision. She gave honest feedback which I appreciate more than anything. Lissie was willing to hop into any bridesmaid dress for me for another perspective. Walking in for the very first time, it was very clear that my presence was expected and welcomed! I was greeted cheerfully by first name without even introducing myself. The process was smooth, easy and I especially love the showroom where I and my girls could revisit the styles as often as they wanted. I'll save you the novel, but I brought my sweet 3 year old step daughter in later on and she hasn't stopped talking about all the "twirl dresses" since! I recommend Bella Bridesmaids hands down!
I am so incredibly thankful for Bella Bridesmaids. Bella Bridesmaids made it quick and easy for me to find the perfect dress for each and every one of my bridesmaids. They made sure each person felt comfortable and happy with their decisions. I am also involved in 2 weddings other than my own. They made sure everything was perfect for each purchase. Taylor and Alex are so amazing at giving helpful tips at what to wear with each dress. I would recommend this store for any future brides looking to find the perfect dress for their bridesmaids.
I had the BEST experience working with the Bella Bridesmaid girls!!! I am the most indecisive person at times and Lissie was super patient with this bride! We started from scratch and ended up with 5 perfect dresses for my girls to choose from. You will NOT be disappointed if you give them a visit :)
I have to say being a Bride during this pandemic has been difficult, however, Bella Bridesmaids made the "virtual" experience of seeing bridesmaids dresses seamless and so much fun! Lissie at Bella in Charleston was an absolute GEM to work with - HIGHLY recommend! She was personable, patient and knowledgeable about all the dresses.
BB Charleston far exceeded my expectations! Lissie and her colleagues provided superb customer service. I never imagined feeling so supported with coordinating the selection and order of my bridesmaids dresses. I am so grateful to Lisse and impressed by BB Charleston! Thank you, Ladies!
Working with the ladies at Bella Bridesmaids in Charleston has been one of the best and easiest part of all my wedding planning! They could not have been more helpful! They helped me pick out the most beautiful dresses for my bridesmaids and answered any questions I had along the way promptly. I would highly suggest them to any bride.
The ladies at Bella’s Bridesmaids were absolutely amazing! I went in with a dress in mind but they made the process with 6 bridesmaids so easy, and after multiple trips in with my girls that came in from out of town they were always so accommodating and a great time. Thank you again, I would 10/10 recommend no better place in Charleston!
The ladies at Bella Bridesmaids were amazing! They made the process of picking out my bridesmaids dresses fun and easy. Their system of keeping all the girls on schedule for ordering and organizing girls in multiple cities was a game changer. Would 10/10 recommend!
Bella Bridesmaids was so easy to work with! They were very flexible with us and willing to work with each bridemaid’s specific needs. I recommend highly!
My best friend is getting married in March and we had such a great experience trying on bridesmaid dresses here! They were so nice and were right there to help us along the way! I’ll definitely go back when it’s my turn to get married!
I just got engaged and I look forward to using Bella Bridesmaids for my Big Day. I have been in several weddings this year and the bridesmaids dresses were ordered through Bella Bridesmaids. The process was simple and perfect!
The girls at bella bridesmaids were absolutely amazing! They were so helpful when I was torn between looks and styles and they were also so helpful when the dresses were being ordered. Every single consultant is so nice and makes you feel so welcomed! I definitely recommend and you will love all of the dresses too!
So easy to work with even from out of town!! The dresses were amazing! They are super sweet when you go in to get measured! I would recommend to all my future bride friends!!!
Awesome!! Such a big help with sizing! The dresses came in with plenty of time and looked great!
Bella Bridesmaid in Charleston was great to work with! Alex helped me pick out the perfect dresses for my girls and made sure everyone ordered on time. She was super responsive and easy to get in touch with if I had questions. It was a huge relief to me knowing that I had someone else keeping track of the dress orders. I can't recommend Bella in Charleston, SC enough!
Bella Bridesmaid in Charleston made picking bridesmaid dresses for my wedding such a great experience! My favorite part was going into the store the week before my girls came down and working with Allison to look at dresses to see what I liked before having the whole crew there! This made the day that my girls came to the store so much easier and less stressful. Bella has a great selection of bridesmaid dresses to pick from with a wide range of colors and designers! I could not be happier with the dresses that I chose! My girls looked absolutely stunning! Alex and her staff at Bella in Charleston were personable and very responsive throughout the process!
Had an absolutely amazing experience at Bella Bridesmaids! Alex was incredible to work with and made the process easy and fun!
I had a wonderful experience with Bella. They were sweet, patient, and incredibly helpful at helping me and my bridesmaids coordinate dresses for the big day. All of my bridesmaids live across the country, and by using Bella they were each able to try on various dress styles of the same fabric and pick what worked best for them.
Alex is seriously the best! She was so helpful and positive throughout the entire process of ordering bridesmaid dresses. Highly recommend!!
Bella Bridesmaids in Charleston is the perfect place to find your bridesmaids attire. They have tons of dress options and colors for you to choose from and see in person. Alex, Lissie, and Allison were a huge help and gave great feedback and advice when trying to narrow it down since they have so many wonderful options! Since most of my bridesmaids were located all over the country, Bella Bridesmaids made it so easy for all of my girls to find a location near them to try on and purchase. The order process is simple and the bride gets the final say! Highly recommend!
Bella Bridesmaids made a process that seemed extremely overwhelming, very simple! From our first phone conversation, Alex at Bella Bridesmaids Charleston was so accommodating. With my tight timelines, she quickly added additional styles to my showrooms and sent a detailed message to my bridesmaids outlining the process for order. She accommodated everyones questions and personally worked with one of my bridesmaids living out of the country to get her dress ordered in time and shipped to the right place. They are amazing, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone about to embark on the bridesmaid dress process!
Bridesmaids dress shopping was my favorite wedding planning experience, and I have the lovely ladies at Bella Bridesmaids Charleston to thank for it! It was SO much fun and Alex took my vision and ran with it. She was so knowledgeable of all the designers and knew how to pull my color pallet together perfectly. They were always incredibly quick to respond to emails and questions and helped me problem solve any bump that came along. It was one of the only portions of wedding planning where I as a bride was able to sit back and let others take control, and I had full confidence in them. If you want to give your bridesmaids options for dresses that they will love I wouldn't look anywhere else!
Bella Bridesmaids in Charleston is THE place to find bridesmaids dresses. Allison provided the best customer service. I had my eye on Joanna August dresses for the longest time, but I also wanted to provide a lower cost option for my bridesmaids. Allison suggested providing both Joanna August and Amsale dresses for my bridesmaids, so they had an option to choose between two price points. She was great in helping to select the right colors, and there were so many in-store options. I went to the Bella Bridesmaids in NYC, and their service was terrible in comparison to Bella in Charleston. The Charleston store will make you feel like the most important bride, and they will answer every question you could ever have!
Really enjoyed my time spent at Bella Bridesmaid in Charleston- Alex was BEYOND helpful with my crazy schedule and helping me decide on the right dress between two I loved. They were so sweet when helping my bridesmaids try on dresses and also measuring was a breeze. I cannot wait to go back and find something for myself for the rehearsal dinner! :-)
I had a great experience with Bella Charleston, these ladies are wonderful! Alex and Allison both worked above and beyond to make sure I got the Adrianna Papell dresses for my girls in the color I wanted! They were always very responsive to emails and kept me in the loop with my order :) Great customer service and atmosphere!
The girls at Bella Bridesmaids are so much fun and have such great taste - I could tell they really enjoy what they do. They were so helpful in choosing a dress that looked good on everyone, while considering things such as wearability, how the dress would look in the wind (my wedding was on a dock), how it would photograph, etc. They helped me think about things I hadn't considered. They were also incredibly flexible in terms of ordering, pick up, and delivery. Thank you so much, Bella Bridesmaids!
The Bella ladies made my bridesmaid dress selection easier than I ever could have imagined. Having an unconventional (at the time) idea and 8 maids could have been a disaster. I walked out after meeting with Alison and knew all would be well. She made my vision into a reality and made it easy to manage 8 individual dresses so each of my maids would look uniform, but be able to pick what dress they felt the best in. The girls loved the ease that went into ordering the dresses!
I've since been back to Bella as a maid, and I can say the attention to each individual and detail is the same. They treat the maids just as well as they treat the brides. Most recently a fellow maid had lost the belt to her dress. She had flown across the country to be in the wedding and we couldn't have her without a belt. I reached out and they were more than happy to provide a belt for us to borrow so our bride could have a seamless beautiful day.
I recommend Bella Charleston to anyone looking for dresses. They will go above and beyond and not disappoint you as a bride or a maid.
I have had multiple amazing experiences with Bella Bridesmaids Charleston! I have ordered dresses for friends' weddings through them and they've always been gorgeous and fit beautifully! When it came time to order dresses for my wedding, I knew we would be ordering through Allison! She was so sweet and helpful throughout the incredibly simple process. They have such beautiful dresses that I got two for myself! One I wore to a friend's wedding, and the other I bought for my engagement party. I got tons of compliments on both! And my bridesmaids dresses were gorgeous! The dresses came with belts, and one of them got lost by a seamstress, and my MOH and Allison were able to come up with multiple solutions without me even knowing. I almost changed my mind halfway through the ordering process, which would have been okay, because of the way their system is structured. It made me feel so much better knowing that I wasn't locked into something and the girls cards wouldn't be charged until I was 100% positive! I have purchased several dresses from Bella Bridesmaids since my wedding- a girl can never have too many beautiful dresses!
Bella girls were very helpful throughout the process!
I liked the shopping experience at Bella Bridesmaid and I thought they had a great selection. However, the store waited over two weeks to run my maids credit cards after receiving their cc info. They did not call the girls prior to running the cards, and there were some decline issues, as it was days after Christmas. One of my maids cards was actually stolen and shut down during that time, but no matter, they insisted that policy states they must charge a declined card fee. I find this practice surprising especially for a small, local business. I ordered through Bella Bridesmaid because I wanted great customer service, but I should have gone straight through Nordstrom/Donna Morgan instead (plus, larger companies often offer free shipping). Unfortunately I would not recommend this BB location.
You get personalized service because it's by appointment only. The owner was super-nice, and was always available when I had to call for additional questions. My dresses were gorgeous.
Great to work with!! Ordered flower girl dresses from here as well
I used Bella for my Bridesmaid dresses and I love the Alfred Sung dresses!
The pictures that I have already seen really look perfect and all of the girls were able to pick out the dress they wanted for their body type. I choose the color and fabric. Bella was wondeful to work with because we were in the mix of crunch time when ordering within 6 months of the wedding.
We had a bit of a mess-up with Alfred Sung however. They originally sent a dress in the wrong size and one of my bridesmaid only got the dress two days before the wedding. Thank goodness I brought my sewing machine to the hotel/rental house for the wedding weekend so that my mom and her sister could do any last minute alterations.
Bella was very attentive to the mix-up.
Be careful with ordering those dresses with-in 6 months of the wedding because those last minute bumps can be fixed with a little less stress.
If you want a simple, classic, yet unique bridal gown go here! The owner is VERY helpful and knows exactly what she is doing! It was the best bridal gown shopping experience I had in Greenville!
