NOT AT THIS ADDRESS!! Apparently they moved to a new location about 2 years ago but never updated their address online. They are not located on Atlantic Blvd. anymore. I cannot fin...
d an updated address for them anywhere.
Had an almost identical experience as was described in the most recent one-star review left by Gabi R. We ordered a veil for my daughter a month ago and the card was charged immedi...
ately; however the customer service is nonexistent and we have yet to receive any confirmation that it will ship in time for the wedding, if at all. They never answer their phone and you can't even email directly. Scam. I reported it to my credit card. Save yourself the aggravation and do not order from this seemingly legit company.
I would do zero if I could. This boutique scammed me as a desperate bride. I placed an order on September 1st with rush shipping and I checked a box on their form that said to co...
ntact me and cancel the order if they could not meet the need by date. They did not even SHIP the item until my need by date and never contacted me or provided tracking info. After I returned from my wedding I found that it was delivered (after my need by date) and when I attempted to make a return they accused me of lying about the delivery of my package even though the USPS tracking info PROVES they shipped it the day I needed them! Awful customer service and made being a bride even more stressful.
Bella Mera bridal’s gloves looked very elegant. I was struggling to look for a pair of gloves that would match my wedding dress and was running out of time. But Bella Mera bridal c...
ame through with a pair that was stunning and they turned out to be the perfect match with my dress. The service was great! They were very prompt and professional, Jennifer worked with me and expedited the shipping, even recommended the gloves. She's awesome. Overall, I’d give Bella Mera a perfect rating, product and service 😊🙌
I am so happy I found this company! I am pleased with my order and am so excited to wear this jewelry that coordinates with my engagement ring. It's really beautiful and really aff...
ordable. I enjoyed how this company offers a range of prices and products to support brides with a variety of budgets. I would order from them again, however shipping is not fast so it is imperative to plan ahead.
High quality service. They were very helpful during the shipping process.
Amazing customer service. I received texts regarding my shipment and prompt responses. 10 stars if I could give them!
Bella Mera Bridal Boutique is wonderful! I was looking for Greek Orthodox stefana (crowns) for my wedding ceremony and it was the only store in the area that had a wide selection t...

it is!!! I am so so happy with how long it took to get it and how amazing it looks. So happy and worth it.
My daughter and I fell in love with a Bella Mera Veil at the salon where we bought her dress but the price was pretty high. We ordered it online for much less and it came exactly ...
when they said it would (about 12 weeks). It is perfect!
I had such an incredible experience with Bella Mera Bridal! I live in Wilmington, North Caroline and I was on the hunt for a cathedral veil. I fell in love with a veil at the Bouti...
que I got my dress, but it was way out of my price range. I began searching everywhere else - etsy, other local boutiques, and random google searches. Finally, I came across Bella Mera Bridal who had the exact veil I was looking for for less than half the price I originally found it at! They were so quick to respond to any questions I had. I paid for rushed shipping to make sure it got here in time and they sent it without any problems! I was also able to get a veil bag and hanger through them, which was super helpful. I would absolutely suggest Bella Mera Bridal to any of my friends getting married!! I am so thankful I found them!
I absolutely love the belt I ordered from them. It was stunning and exactly what I ordered. It was the lowest price I found for the belt I wanted. I was in no rush to get mine but ...
it was still delivered in a timely manner. It even came in the cutest little bag and with a sweet little card. They always kept me updated on my package and were in the process my order was. They were very helpful when I had any questions. I would totally recommend them to any bride looking for a little extra help. Thanks, Bella Bridal!
The vail I ordered was very nice and exactly what I ordered. The color was perfect and good quality. Well made, fits perfect, beautiful all the way around and the right length I ...

My mom and I ordered my bridal veil on their website! It looks beyond beautiful and was significantly cheaper than my local bridal salon. Thank you so very much!
Bridesmaid in a wedding and love my dress! Well made, fits perfect, beautiful all the way around. Will definetly be checking this place out in the future =)

Amazing Service! Very easy process. I purchased my bridesmaids dress from here. The customer service team were outstanding in helping find a maid of honor dress. My dress was a lit...
tle larger then expected due to recent weight loss but they gave me a few alteration places to call. The dress I chose was a bit pricey but worth the experience. I couldn't have asked for a better and easier experience.

der, and delivered on time. I very happy with the quality of the products. I will definitely recommend Bella Mera Bridal Boutique.
Thank you for the help.
Bella mera was absolutely incredible. I am a NJ bride who decided to work with Bella mera after going on their website and seeing they carried a veil I loved.
After speaking with ...
Jennifer who is the manager there, I knew I had to buy my blusher and custom cathedral length veil from them. From the beginning, she made me feel very comfortable. She was so sweet, helpful, and caring. She truly cares about the happiness of her brides. And also their prices are amazing!
I had an issue with two of the veils I ordered. One was too long (but it was the length I ordered it at, I just needed it to be shortened after I tried it on with my dress) and the blusher I had ordered to be more poofy, came in way too poofy from Ansonia.
I immediately called and sent an email to Jennifer about this. She made sure to call the company and explained my concerns to them. Unfortunately, Ansonia's customer service was absolutely terrible and they made NO effort at all to help me.
However, Jennifer did everything in her power to make sure my situation was fixed and she quickly sent me a new blusher from her inventory, which ended up being perfect and exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend Bella mera to other brides. Jennifer was so amazing and TRULY cares about her customers. She was by far one of the best people I had the chance to work with during my wedding planning process. Thank you again Jennifer for all of your help and support!!
Purchased a crystal headband for my daughter from Bella Mera Bridal. We originally saw it in a retail store in the mall. Way out of our budget. Went home and found it on their webs...
ite. Their constant status updates and prompt replies to my inquiries were greatly appreciated. Quality of the crystals are amazing and so were their prices. One happy bride to be.
Highly suggest to any bride with a larger bridal group. I had my entire bridal party signed up here for Bill Levkoff Dresses and all the dresses came on time with a free garment ba...
g! Every time I called them they made feel like an important Bride and my 13 bridesmaids including my four plus size bridesmaids. I wasn't expecting this type of service and was taking back from the prompt customer service. The staff was always pleasant every time I called or emailed. We just loved the entire experience from the easy registration for my bridesmaids and surprised how smoothly everything was. They were very transparent about about arrival times and even helped me pick out matching necklace sets for everyone. I really can't say enough thanks to Bella Mera for making this an easy going process for all of us. "Kenya"
Thank you Bella Mera for amazing customer service. After ordering a veil that I later discovered was beaded, Bella Mera made the effort to contact the designer to see if I could ge...
t the same veil unbeaded. Having the veil of my dreams thanks to Bella Mera meant so much to me. Thank you so much!
Very responsive and helpful. Mandy in particular was fantastic to work with! Highly recommend.
excellent customer service and pricing!
The bride had us purchase dresses from an online shop and I ended up using Bella Mera because their price of the dress was less and they included a discount. The shipping was fast ...
and the customer service was great!
Jennifer was so incredibly helpful in finding a veil for my wedding day. When we discovered I couldn't get the one I wanted by the wedding date, she wored so hard at finding me an ...
alternative. I ended up finding one on a different website, but called her to ask if they had that one and they did! She was able to rush it to me and I felt the veil was just as beautiful as the one I originally wanted! It was perfect!
I ordered a beautiful cathedral veil from this company and could not be happier. I was dress shopping in NY and fell in love with this one veil but could not believe the price tag ...
on it so I left it at the store. My mother happened to stumble upon Bella Mera Bridal on the internet and ordered the SAME exact veil for a MUCH better price. They communicated with us to give us updates on our status and it arrived timely. I look forward to using Bella Mera again .
I bought my dress online through their Tradesy account. It was a floor sample and I was nervous about ordering a dress that I hadn't seen in person. They were very helpful and sent...
lots of pictures and even worked with me on the price. The dress arrived just a few days after ordering and is in perfect condition and fits like a glove! They were very helpful and professional and genuinely excited for me when I told them it had arrived and that it was perfect. I highly recommend working with them!
This should be your first stop when shopping for wedding gowns, etc. Their prices are terrific, and sales people are very professional and helpful. My daughter found her veil here...
for considerably less than where we purchased her gown. The staff went the extra "mile" to call and verify the length of the veil before shipping it. And no shipping charges (just a modest handling fee)! The veil arrived in great condition and on time.
I found a belt at a local store that I fell in love with, but it was too expensive. I ended up searching online and found it at Bella Mera for 1/3 the price. I was skeptical so I r...
ead some reviews and then gave them a call. Jennifer was super nice and helpful and answered all of my questions! My belt came within the time frame given and was exactly the same as what I saw in the local store. Would definitely recommend them :)
Bella Mera was my one and only visit to a bridal salon! Jennifer is wonderful and attentive, and the experience was very professional and intimate. My Mother, Maid of Honor, and I ...
had the place to ourselves during our appointment to look at dresses through a trunk show of one of my favorite designers.
I was incredibly pleased with the product I received from Bella Mera Bridal Boutique. I live in Texas, and had been to upscale boutique, where I fell in love with a jeweled headba...
nd that had a ridiculously high price tag. I came home and googled the product number and found the same gorgeous headband for a quarter of the price on Bella Mera's website. It was shipped and arrived within the timeline set by their website in perfect condition. The headband is perfect and I can't wait to wear it on my big day!
As part of our family tradition, my mother gave me her 47 year old wedding gown so I could have it reconstructed into my daughters’ Baptism and First Holy Communion gowns. The gown...
had not been cleaned nor preserved, and after years of unsealed storage, the beautiful hand-beaded silk and lace was yellowed and disintegrating. I thought the condition was irreversible, but in hopes of preventing further damage, I took it to a dry cleaner who offered preservation services. The gown came back clean, pressed, and boxed, but much of the yellowing remained. I assumed it was permanent.
I then took the gown to Bella Mera Bridal Boutique, who coordinated the preservation with a specialist. Jennifer was very accommodating and cautioned that it was unlikely the gown could be returned to its original condition. She explained it would take approximately 8 weeks, but provided me with a tracking number to monitor progress.
When it came time to pick up the dress, I was stunned! It looked practically new. I still can’t believe they were able to repair years of neglect on such a delicate gown. The gown was packaged with archival paper, boxed, and sealed. Bella Mera helped me restore a priceless family heirloom that I no longer fear will fall apart.
I highly encourage anyone who is seeking to restore a gown to visit Bella Mira. I also encourage every bride to preserve her dress so it can become a family heirloom too.
THANK YOU!!! My Giselle belt was delivered today. About a month before I really expected it. It is gorgeous and just the one I wanted!!
Thanks again!!
Jennifer was great. I was discouraged and disenchanted with bridal shops. At other shops I found the mother of the bride selections very expensive and matronly. I wasn't sure I w...
as going to find anything different at Bella Mera Bridal and had been putting off the trip to Middleburg. But, when I arrived I told Jennifer what I was looking for and she was able to key in on my style and help me select several dresses that I liked. I knew I would need alterations, but did not know anyone who would be able to do the alterations quickly--I was getting my dress just 2 weeks before the wedding. She gave me a referral for someone local who was amazing. Bella Mera Bridal has a beautiful selection of dresses, shoes and accessories and their prices are very reasonable. Jennifer is very helpful and knowledgable and friendly. Don't hesitate to make an appointment and go in for a visit! You'll be glad you did.
Small shop with a great selection and excellent service. They are not pushy like some of the big shops. Highly recommend!
I am so very happy with the service I received from Bella Mera. I didn't want my bridesmaids to spend a lot of money on their dresses so we went out shopping at local stores and f...
ound a style we loved which retailed for about $250. I found the same dress online from Bella Mera for about $150 and decided to purchase through them although I was hesitant about ordering online. The associates at Bella Mera couldn't have been more helpful. They quickly replied to my questions about size and shipping via e-mail and gave me instructions for how to set up a group so that each girl could order through me, thus getting the dresses from the same fabric lot, while paying for their own dresses on their own.
A few of my bridesmaids are taller so they ordered the longer length dresses. Due to a backup at the manufacturer, the longer length dresses were backordered a few weeks. I received an e-mail from Bella Mera right away alerting me of the estimated shipping date and offering to send my regular length dresses right away. During this time, I also moved and Bella Mera was able to update my shipping address within just a few days of the dresses being shipped so that they arrived at my front door on time.
The quality of each dress is exactly as I would expect purchasing from a local shop. I really can't say enough about how happy I am with my entire Bella Mera Bridal experience.
I was able to purchase my dream wedding dress at Bella Mera Bridal. Jennifer the owner was great and offered a very unique personal touch to shopping for my dress. When you book yo...
ur appointment she caters specifically for you and your party. We have an unusually large group for all the times I went to the shop, atleast 5 people plus myself. She was very accommodating and offered everyone refreshments. I would recommend everyone get their dress from her!
One word...WOW!!!
It is hard to imagine that a woman's fairytale wedding day could be so beautifully preserved and recreated in such a custom manner.
Jennifer at Bella Mera Bri...
dal Boutique did just that with the preservation of my wedding gown. She was able to restore every sparkling detail, rid all stains and blemishes and display my wedding gown to appear brand new.
Not only did Jennifer so elegantly preserve my gown, but she also made that moment so personable. The memories I have of my mother and I searching for "the dress" were all relived in the unique way my mother and Jennifer presented my gown. The love and excitement my mother and I shared preparing for my special day also radiated from Jennifer. Her sincerity, professionalism, attention to detail and follow through rises above the rest.
Both Jennifer and Bella Mera Boutique come with my highest recommendations. I am forever grateful for her dedication to excellence and compassion for her work. The cherished memories of my Wedding Day have now continued in ways beyond my imagination. This gift has truly kept on giving...
I was trying to find nice, long dresses and their online prices are great.
Also, they would respond to any email or phone call immediately. They have incredible customer service ...
and are so helpful.
I emailed them once at midnight. When I woke up at 6:00 am, they had already responded. Awesome!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience in purchasing my wedding dress. I had to been to two stores prior to going to Bella Mera. I felt overwhelmed by those experiences beca...
use there were a lot of other brides there and there was just a lot going on. At one store, I found a dress that I loved, but a woman who worked there was particularly rude so we left. I grew up a few minutes from Middleburg and ended up finding out about Bella Mera online. We made an appointment so that I could try on some more dresses. I ended up wanting the dress that I found in the other store, but Jennifer said she could get the dress for me, although she didn't have it in the store at the time. We went back two days later so I could get measured. Jennifer made my mom and I feel very comfortable about getting the measurements and ordering the right size. I also ordered the dress pre-hemmed, so that it was already the right length when I got it. I just went to pick up my dress this past Friday, and it was perfect! The dress is even better than I remember, and it fit perfectly.
Jennifer does a great job of giving you one-on-one attention and answering all of your questions. One thing that I liked about the experience versus others is that there aren't a bunch of other brides trying on dresses at the same time as you. We were the only ones in the store both when I went to try on dresses and pick up my dress, so it was a really calm experience and not overwhelming at all. We also loved that the store was really close to us and we like supporting smaller, local businesses, so I am so glad we found it.
Thank you to Jennifer for a great experience! I cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day.
I fell in a love with a veil I tried here in Arizona. I was able to find the same veil for significantly less at Bella Mira. I was hesitant to buy something on line but I read th...
e reviews of Bella Mira & felt comfortable. The communication was clear & quick. I received my merchandise in a timely manner & it is beautiful. I can't thank Jennifer enough
Bella Mera went above and beyond to ensure our groomsmen vests, ties, and pocket silks arrived on time, in the right color and style. I was having trouble finding this particular d...
esigner and not only did they carry it, they ensured it arrived in plenty of time even though I only found the boutique about 6 weeks before the wedding. Jennifer helped me over the phone, bringing patience and exceptional customer service so I didn't have to fuss with an online order.
The quality and price for the veil I purchased from Bella Mera was unmatched by any of my local shops. I was very pleased with the product and the customer service!
Jennifer was wonderful!!! After having some major problems and being lied to my another bridal boutique Bella Mera Bridal Boutique (specifically Jennifer) saved my wedding!! After ...
being told that the designer refused to take my veil order (at another shop) Jennifer promised to make it happen for my May 31 wedding and did she ever deliver!!! The veil just arrived yesterday, even sooner than expected! A++++++++++ recommendation to all!!!
Bella Mera is a quaint shop in the heart of Middleburg. It is mainly appointment only, which is great because she locks the door to the public during your appointment. Having tha...
t one on one time with Jennifer was great, it made me feel so special. For the size of the shop, which is relatively small, she has a great selection of dresses! They are all in pristine condition. Jennifer took her time with me, let me try things on twice and did not force anything on me! You can really tell Jennifer has experience in the industry and knows what she's doing.
I did look at other shops and my experience with those was poor compared to Bella Mera. The other shops were busy with other brides there at the same time and you could tell those places were just out to sell a dress. Bella Mera was such an intimate experience for me and my family...we even had a champagne toast when I said yes, to the dress! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an upscale experience with dresses that aren't over the top expensive.
I found the dresses I wanted my girls to wear at a local shop, but they didn't have the long style, and their price was the same as everyone else's. Searching the web, I found Bel...
la Mira Bridal...and called to make sure that it was a legit place. The woman I spoke with was so nice, and explained they can offer lower prices online because they are not there to help you with your measurements, etc. Also, they have great tracking, and offer additional items that you can purchase to match your dresses.
