I’m not one to typically leave a bad review but I felt the need to because my experience at Bella Rose in Edmond was terrible. I had high expectations coming into this bridal shop because I had such an EXCELLENT experience at the Bella Rose in ...Norman. I was also told on numerous occasions from when I initially called and during the appointment that, “our store carries the most designers and selection in the state of Oklahoma.” I was feeling excited to go
to this store and I even told my bridal party that I have a feeling that I will find my dress there. That was a big NOPE. Now to dive into the situation at Bella Rose in Edmond... my bridal consultant, Megan, seemed to be very annoyed from the start of the appointment. She told us that masks weren’t required because the mask mandate had been lifted in Edmond which is great but my mom just finished chemotherapy and told her that she was going to keep her mask on. The look on the bridal consultant's face when my mom told her that was a little demeaning. I think she forgot the fact that she isn’t wearing a mask anymore and facial expressions can be seen full-on now. I took off my mask since I was going to be trying on dresses and so did one other guest. She asked me if I wanted help with getting the wedding dresses on and I respectfully declined because I didn’t mind doing so myself. I tried on multiple dresses, some that I liked and some that I hated. I was looking for a v-neck dress with a v-back but I was open to options. I wanted to make sure that I found “the one.” You know... since this bridal shop “carries the most in the state of Oklahoma.” In the middle of the appointment, she was like, “well you just don’t know what you want” when we were walking around I pointed out a dress that I liked and thought was pretty and she was like, “that one is for ‘bigger girls’ you wouldn’t like that one.” Turns out that dress is one of the dresses that I had pictures of on my phone, showed her, and wanted to try on. Close to the end of the appointment, I was upset. I had tears in my eyes but I was able to hold back. I took a second in the dressing room to keep it together because I was feeling defeated. Let me also mention that her boss was just following us around and being pushy about me buying a dress. That made me feel really uncomfortable. The boss also doesn’t want you taking pictures of wedding dresses which was different because every other bridal shop that we’ve gone to encouraged pictures so that you can sleep on it and look back to narrow out the dresses that you liked and disliked. Since I initially purchased a wedding dress at the Bella Rose in Norman, my bridal consultant said they would help with a “discount” if they carry the designer. Well, I just want to mention that the wedding dress that I did decide to go with, they do carry the designer but I did not purchase that dress from Bella Rose in Edmond. I GLADLY purchased my wedding dress WITHOUT a discount because the thought of even going back into this bridal shop is gut-wrenching. If you are thinking about going to a Bella Rose, I HIGHLY recommend going to the one in Norman and asking for Amanda. She was amazing. Just steer clear from this location unless you like to feel demeaned throughout the whole process.
