Bella Couture

I can say without a doubt this is the only place you need to be looking for your wedding dress! The girls are so helpful and sweet and they have some of the most beautiful dresses! I found my dream gown there and it was perfect in every way💕

I was very scared to go to another bridal salon because the first two were terrible to me. But one of my bridesmaids called Bella Couture and told them about my situation and feelings and they were wonderful to me! Kelsey found a bunch of dresses that were the style I was looking for and got so excited with me when I told her what I was wanting for my day of. We found the perfect dress with her and I was able to buy the sample dress so it wasn’t as expensive as I originally thought it would be. Everyone there was very helpful and very sweet and I’m so glad I chose Bella Couture and wouldn’t recommend anywhere else as highly as I recommend these wonderful ladies!

Bella couture was an absolute dream to work with! They were patient when I wasn’t sure about a dress and also let my whole entourage pick out a dress for me to try😂.

Finding my dress here was like a dream. A much less dramatic version of say yes to the dress, but all of the warm fuzzy feelings and tears included. The collection of styles available in plus sizes is quite impressive! I was able to buy a sample size at a very decent discount and had alterations including about 4 inches taken out of the chest area and a 3 point bustle, as well as some fastener repair for $100 (they only accept cash for alterations to keep prices low). Overall a fabulous experience, though the fairytale feeling wears off after the initial purchase, but I think that’s normal.

Do not recommend. The dress was PERFECT the process of buying and alterations was NOT WORTH IT. The day I got my dress was perfect, but it went downhill from there. I went to pick my dress up and it was huge. I told the staff and they blew it off and I had to re ask them to alter it. They told me to call two months before I left for my destination for the wedding. I left not thinking that that may be too late. I called a week after pick up and was told they could not alter my dress. They gave me three alternate places and none of them could alter my dress or helped to find a solution. I called Bella couture and told them the situation and they didn’t have a solution. They told me from the beginning they would alter my dress and we asked to set it up the day I bought the dress and they said we would be fine setting it up when it came in. When it came in they again would not make an appointment to alter my dress, telling me to wait. They did nothing to find a solution and I had to go to another bridal shop and pay triple to get my dress done. I should not have gotten my dress with them and regret it.

Bella Couture was a dream! This was the first place that I shopped and there was no need to go anywhere else! The consultants are so helpful and even get you into gowns that you never thought you would’ve tried on. They have the best designers (Hayley Paige, Lazaro, Pronovias), giving you as many options as you could want or need. I purchased my gown and veil from them and I am in love!

I had the best experience with Bella Couture!! I bought my wedding dress from them and could not have been happier. Colleen is so helpful from beginning to end and makes sure that everything is perfect for the big day! Her attention to detail and experience is very much appreciated, especially when deciding between a few of their dresses. Thank you so much for my beautiful dress!!

I loved my dress from allure. I was not impressed with my over all service. However, when I contacted management she did her best to make it right. Large selection in a lot of price ranges!

Bella Couture was a dream!! Placed in the cutest town right outside of Birmingham, this place was far more than I ever expected! After searching at two other shops, Bella by far had the widest selection of gowns in so many different styles to choose from. I felt this shop had gowns that were so reasonably priced for every bride, yet looked so elegant for the cost. I got my dream gown at Bella Couture thanks to the sweet consultant that helped me find my style and feel like the most beautiful bride!! I would recommend to anyone!

Mrs. Colleen and her staff are amazing. They took time and helped me search through tons of beautiful gowns to find my wedding dress. I found my dress!! Thanks Sydney! I will send every bride here. Thank you

The man of my dreams and I are getting married this Saturday and I am a Bella Couture bride! They were so sweet and helpful as I picked out my dream Pronovias gown. I'll never forget that experience with saying yes at Bella Couture's!

Incredible customer service and beautiful dresses. Assortment is great and the staff goes above and beyond for their clients, more so than I'd ever expect... Every wedding I've been in, my bride has gone to Bella Couture, so when I got engaged, I just HAD to get my dress from this wonderful group of people as well.

The ladies there were very sweet and helpful! I didn't end up finding my dress here, but I appreciated all their help and expertise. The salon itself is also beautiful and spacious.

Bella Couture was the first bridal shop I went to, and I came back to buy my dream dress shortly afterwards. I tried a couple of other shops in town, but nothing stood out to me the way my dress at Bella Couture had. I loved my dress and veil, and the ladies in Bella Couture are very sweet and helpful. Unfortunately, my dress did come in late and it was a scramble to get alterations done in time. My veil was also back ordered, though that did not require altering so it was alright. I ordered my dress shortly before New Years, and it did not arrive until the second week in July. This was only a few weeks before my wedding. Because of this I was not able to do bridal portraits before my wedding like I had planned and everything was generally rushed. The best piece of advice I received too late, was to give a false wedding date a month ahead of when you really are getting married. Also, though ultimately I was happy with my alterations they do not offer in-house alterations like some other bridal salons in town do. I love my dress, but the last few weeks before my wedding were incredibly stressful.

The first shop I went to was Bella Couture and I found "the" dress that same day! I went in without much of an idea of what I wanted, but the consultant helped me narrow down the style I was looking for and I ended up finding my dream dress that very day. I LOVED my dress and got lots of compliments!

The dresses are beautiful and they have a large variety of price ranges however customer service is lacking. They are not good about letting you know when the dress will arrive. They also do not call you back when they say they will. Also they do not offer alterations on site which makes it hard when your dress comes in late like mine was.

Colleen and her team are THE best! The store has a peaceful and calming atmosphere - especially given that dress shopping can be stressful! Bella Couture is Birmingham's premier boutique and I will recommend it to all of my friends!!!

I am a Bella Couture bride! My husband and I recently got married, but when he proposed a year ago there was no question in my mind where I was going to go for my bridal gown and my bridesmaids dresses! The serves was excellent, the dress selection was exquisite, and the attention to detail was phenomenal! I am a local model and I've shown gowns from many designers, so when I came into the shop my standards were high, much higher then I thought I could ever find. However, I found my perfect gown and I (or my husband) could not have thought I looked more perfect

This store has a wonderful selection of dresses with a kind staff and beautiful facility. Great value - and a huge plus that their tax rate is only 5%!

This shop is amazing! They don't pressure you to buy a dress. They are so patient and don't rush you to purchase something so they can get to the next customer. I had such an enjoyable experience!!! And found my perfect dress!

Loved my time at Bella Couture! The staff was excellent, Colleen, the owner is so sweet! The gowns they have are beautiful! My daughter found just what she wanted. No one pushed us to buy, they were honest about their products (we did our homework!) we didn't find that everywhere in town. There sales tax is only 5%! I'm sending all my friends and family there! It's the BEST place for wedding gowns in Birmingham!

I was a bridesmaid for a wedding on June 8th of this year, and I made an account on here solely to rave about how wonderful this shop is!!! They made the whole experience extremely special, not only for the bride but the entire wedding party. The staff is wonderful! They genuinely care about you finding the perfect wedding gown and work tirelessly to see that everything comes in perfectly! Our bridesmaid gowns were simply gorgeous! I recommend this shop 100 percent without a doubt! Thanks again Bella Couture staff! I'll be back when its my turn to walk down that aisle!

The staff were incredibly helpful and worked great with my budget, asking me right off the bat and making sure I didn't even see dresses I couldn't afford. Got tons of compliments on my dress!

I bought my dress off the rack from them at a great price! The lady who helped me was SO sweet and kind all afternoon, patiently helping me try 20 dresses on. I found the perfect one! The only thing I did not like about the store was that I felt pressured to buy extra things, like a veil and sash, which I wished I would have waited and found cheaper somewhere else! The dress didn't even end up needing a sash/it wouldn't work on the day of the wedding, but they convinced us it did! They were great though; the owners are Christians and they pray for all of the brides that come in, which I thought was really sweet.

Bella Couture treated me like an absolute princess when I came to try on dresses. They went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable and pleasant. I was very nervous coming into the store, but about 10 minutes in I was completely comfortable and relaxed. I had a budget to work with and they were very respectful of it. They did everything from clinching the back of the dress as tightly as possible for me to see what it would look like to grabbing belts for dresses that looked too plain. The dress I chose was unique and I still haven't seen one even close to the beauty of it. Thanks, Bella Couture! I highly recommend them to any bride!!

Carol at Bella Couture was amazing to work with! I went there because they were the only store in Alabama to carry my dress designer. The store experience is very intimate and special. The dress selection is definitely adequate, and the prices are all under $5000. The only catch is that they do not do alterations in store, but I took my dress to Martha's Tailoring in Birmingham, who did an INCREDIBLE job on hemming my dress which was all lace on the bottom. I also bought all of my bridesmaid dresses at Bella Couture, I could not have been more pleased with everything.

Bella Couture had a better selection of dresses to try on than any other boutique in Birmingham. It was the last place I went and the best! It was very crowded on a Saturday. We had to wait 30 minutes even though we had an appointment. They don't have many fitting rooms. But, I bought my dress of the rack and used the alterations lady they suggested. They even steamed it for free when I took it back after alterations.

While dress shopping often stressed me out Bella Couture made it delightful. At many stores I felt extreme pressure to purchase a dress that instance. Bella Couture was focused on making sure I found the right dress and I was happy instead of focusing on getting my money. They allowed me to take photos of all the dresses and even suggest I look over them before returning so I felt confident in my decision. They have an amazing dress collection as well. They were tons of dresses I was obsessed with. It also offered a variety of price ranges.

Wonderful people to work with... super cute store! The atmosphere and people could not be better!

My shopping experience at Bella Couture was wonderful. Carol did not rush us or pressure us into making a decision. She let my mother, best friend and me pull whichever dresses we liked and I tried on all of them. In the end, Carol picked the perfect dress for my budget and figure. My husband couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful I looked on our wedding day. Thank you so much Bella Couture!

The ladies here made my dress shopping experience a pleasure, and I found the perfect dress at a great price. They have a great range of prices and will be upfront with you about price ranges for each designer they carry to make shopping easier. I'd recommend making an appointment so you are sure to get that personal attention, but they are only required on the weekends. Check them out if you're shopping in the Birmingham area!

The ladies at Bella Couture were so helpful and sweet! It was such a pleasure working with them! They have a great selection for gowns, bridesmaids, and flower girls!

Great help getting into dresses and picking out options for me.

The ladies who work at Bella Couture are the absolute sweetest and always remembered me and called me by name when I came into the store. Carrol assisted me in finding my dress. She is the most precious, genuine person I have ever met and made the process of finding my wedding dress so incredibly special and memorable. I am so thankful for the experience I had with Bella Couture!

Lovely dresses, great service! SUper helpful people

This shop was very attentive! They gave me a wonderful discount on my veil too!! I went to many different bridal shops and drove 8 hours just to purchase my dress from them. The selection was remarkable!! They had very unique gowns that were not available in most shops I visited!!

I had a great experience with my dress purchase at Bella Couture. The gals were so helpful and reassuring over email as well as over the phone. I did not go into the store to buy my dress, so again, I had to rely on the service of the lovely ladies at Bella and trust my instincts. I knew that the dress that Bella had would be perfect on my wedding day and went with my gut feeling.

Wonderful customer service. We took the dress back to them after it was altered (in Birmingham) and they spot cleaned and steamed it for the wedding.

Beautiful dresses, but what bridal store doesn't have pretty dresses. On the expensive side. The staff is helpful. They actually go into the dressing room with you to remove the dress and help you put it on and zip it up, which was nice. Buttt, lie about your budget!!!! I went with my mother and MOH. When asked about my budget I told her I wanted to spend under $1500 (which I did want to..but didn't necessarily mean if I fell in love with a dress that was $2000 that I wouldn't get it). So, all 3 of us fell in love with a dress that was $1700. I entered the room with one of the staff ladies and she went through all of the dresses I had chosen, and took away every dress over $1500. (I wasn't being unrealistic and trying on $7000 dresses..they were all under $2300). My mother was paying for my dress and did not have a budget; I just didn't want her to spend a lot on a dress. They never bothered to ask my mom her budget. My mother was furious they would not let me try on the dress she loved. (I didn't tell my mom until we were in the car and headed to the next bridal store. She was so confused. She did not understand why I only tried on 3 dresses and not the one we all loved and why I rushed out of there. I did not want to cause a scene and that definitely would have happened had my mother known.) They definitely lost themselves some money that day. Do they not work on commission?! How are you not going to let a bride try on a dress she loves?! Pissed!!!

I had the best time shopping and learning what dresses fit my style and wedding. They were the best at advice and easy to work with.

I was so estatic when I came across Bella Couture!! The staff is excellent and the dresses are beautiful!! They have something for every brides budget!! I loved them so much I bought two dresses!!!

I bought my dress from Bella Couture and I couldn't have picked a better dress! It was absolutely beautiful and affordable! And the ladies there are extremely helpful!

I had looked before but not very much. My appointment at bella couture was flawless. My consultant made it so fun like we we're playing dress up. She made me try on a bunch of dresses I may have never even looked at. When I found the perfect one she jacked me up with jewelry and a veil and I was in love. Then, I found out the sample was half off! Great experience

Great selection, friendly staff.

Could not have been more pleased with the service, friendly workers, and dress selection. I found 2 dresses that I loved and had to eventually pick one!

Wonderful shop with beautiful dresses! Friendly consultants! A dress for just about any budget!

The ladies at Bella Couture where AMAZING!!!! Worked with me very much!

Kholeen was the best!!! Ashley was also a big help.

Everything was on time had no issues with my dress or vail. The service was poor and slow. I called in advance and ordered the dress never going in the shop and when I did go in for my appointment to try it on they ignored me and when we were discussing the size the actually said" I'm just not sure about the right size your shaped like a boy" talking about my chest.

I got my dress at Bella Couture and absolutely felt amazing in it on my wedding day! By far the best store in the Birmingham area with SO many dresses to choose from. The staff was great and so helpful!

I tried on over 70 dresses in the search for my wedding dress. I found that most vendors (and I looked alot in Atlanta where I actually live) had the same styles and weren't really listening to what I wanted. I found myself looking in the mirror at a dress that looked great on me that everyone would ooh and aah over that was exactly what I had said I didn't want. Or- I'd find a dress that was different and the quality and style that I was looking for but it would be twice my budget. Enter Bella Couture- Colleen and her staff are amazing and the first day I walked in my friends and I picked up several dresses. Each time I took a dress off she listened to what I liked an disliked with each dress. And then she said, I think you might like this one. And I did. Actually- I loved it and it became THE dress. I'm still getting compliments on how perfect it was- even from people I haven't talked to in years that have commented on it on facebook. And she's so friendly - she even let me try on the dress that was the anti-thesis of what I wanted so my friends and I could giggle. Since my mom couldn't be with me, I came back two weeks later after emailing back and forth with her with my Future Mother in Law and Future Grandmother in Law. That's when I actually purchased the dress. And since I paid in full I got 10% off the dress and paid way less in tax b/c Mt. Laurel is farther out. Colleen and her staff made a somewhat frustrating experience into a great great memory and I highly recommend her!

Okay seriously by the title it came in at least 2 sizes 2 small. It took about 5 and a half months which isn't awful to come in. My mother also got her dress there & it cost a pretty penny like everything in there and it had a hole in the jacket. So no discount no money back just fixed the hole. Then I paid an extra fee to have my dress hemmed to hollow and the length still had to be taken up. Due to their mistakes it cost us over a $500 alteration bill. Carol is nice however, there are some that need a attitude check. I bragged on them until my dress came in & now I just can't say I'd refer them. My dress was beautiful in the end, but was very stressful getting last minute alterations and planning a wedding is enough stress without dealing with dress issues also.

I was very happy with the service and selection I recieved at Bella Couture. The shop is so cute and the selection of gowns were much better and of higher quality than any other shop I went to. The owner is very nice and helpful and I would recommend this shop to everyone!

This bridal shop has the best collection of beautiful dresses at a variety of prices. The attention I received from Colleen, the owner, was above and beyond. It was a wonderful experience to try on gowns with her. I found my dream dress in my budget and had a fantastic wedding! I wouldn't have wanted to wear any other dress!

The owner helped me select my dress and when the one I wanted was a bit out of my price range she sold me the sample (it was my size) and gave me discount for paying in full. The dress selection is extensive and they always have some sale stuff too. Love these ladies!

My dress was absolutely perfect...I can't imagine a more beautiful dress. Allure Couture is an amazing designer line. Bella Couture worked with me to get things perfect with my dress, even let me purchase the sample to avoid rush ordering and possibly not getting my dress before wedding date!!

OMG- this boutique is amazing, the service is outstanding & intimate. The feel of the store is peaceful (not stressful or overwhelming) the owner so humble & kind you wouldn't even know she owned the place. The selection is emaculate. It's soo regal, & first-class... wonderfully intimate & loving enviornment to shop in. My dress is AMAZING & I can't wait to go back & buy my bridesmaids dresses there, just for the experience. This store is tucked in the shops of Mt Laurel, AL and it's elite & one of a kind. ~Tamera Brown

The owner, Colleen, and her staff are wonderful. They got a feel for what I liked, and when I wasnt satisfied with anything, suggested a dress for me that turned out to be the one. They have a huge selection of dresses for every budget. A pleasure to work with.

When I first went to Bella Couture, everything was fine, the staff was ok - but I found my perfect dress! So we bought it and paid in full and we were told the dress would be here May 6th (about 7 months after we ordered it - normal) Since I was from oot (VA) and would have to fly down to get the dress and alterations done I called them, a lot. The closer it got the more I called, all with May 6th promises. I called the day I flew out, they are still assuring it will be there ... I call May 5th to get hrs tell them when I'm coming ect, it was not and would not be there on May 6th. Every time I called they were just saying they checked on it saying it would be there but they had no idea. I told them repeatedly I was oot and was on a time schedule to get the dress and 1st fitting done. They offered no resolve, and the excuse, bad winter in NY, seriously? The staff was being rude to me, the owner was rude and unapologetic, no one could ever answer my question as to why I called so many times and they told my they were calling the dress maker, put me on hold and every time it was on time. No one from this shop ever called me, not once. The dress ended up being about 32 days late, 32 days I was stuck in AL, waiting. This could of been avoided by honestly checking on the dress, calling a customer to inform them of a situation and being polite and apologetic. A complete lack of customer service, a poor attitude, and an unwillingness to make the situation right by owner and staff made this a terrible experience, and I could not recommend this place to anyone.

Great quality and service I recommend all of my friends to bella couture for there wedding dresses and mother of the bride dresses. Everyone is so sweet and helpful and they help you work within your budget!
