I am very pleased with Bella Sposa!!! I was nervous and excited to try on dresses and they made me feel very comfortable!! I would recommend this Bridal Boutique to anyone!!!
I loved my experience at Bella Sposa and would recommend to anyone!! Everyone there is very attentive, patient, and best hype girls to support you during this part in the wedding planning process. I found the perfect dress. I can’t thank Lisa enough for being literally the best! I went back twice to try on dresses as I was so indecisive with what I wanted and she was right there with me! And Jamie the best gal for alternations and opinions. Thank you to the full team!!
I absolutely LOVED my experience at Bella Sposa! Everyone was so welcoming and kind. Lisa was AMAZING at helping me find the perfect dress! After going to 4 other boutiques I ended up going with the very first dress Lisa picked for me. She has a great eye for style and she’s great at pairing the perfect veil and accessories with any given dress. She’s great at what she does! I would highly recommend!!
I would absolutely recommend Bella Sposa to any bride looking for their dress! I did not expect to find the dress at the first store I went to, but I did! There was an amazing selection and I tried on about 15 before I found the one. I loved the dress but wasn't sure about the sleeves, and they helped me envision the dress with straps and it was perfect. So I ended up altering the sleeves of my dress which took several fitting appointments and every time I felt so confident knowing my dream dress was in the making, thanks to Jamie!! She is an amazing seamstress and I trusted her throughout the whole process. I could not be more grateful to her and the rest of the Bella Sposa team for being so professional, helpful, and making me feel confident throughout the whole process.
Loved working with this team! Worked with Deb to find my dress, Jamie for alterations, and I brought my dress back to them for cleaning/preservation. Beautiful salon, efficient team, clear communication, and a ton of dress options!
Lisa was absolutely wonderful! I didn't know exactly what I was looking for and she was amazing at pulling options and figuring out what I wanted before I did. Highly recommend!
I truly could not have asked for a better experience with Bella Sposa Boutipue! Especially Brenna was the most amazing associate! I was extremely nervous on what style would look amazing on me and she helped me find the right dress for me! My wedding day was that much more magical because of my dress! I hope this helps any future bride and where they should go to get their wedding dress. They had such a huge variety and absolutely stunning designs!
I was extremely nervous about getting my wedding dress, but Bella Sposa made me feel so comfortable. Everything went so simple finding my dress and I was able to find the dress of my dreams. My group of people that came with had lots of ideas of what they wanted for me, but they just listened to me and what I wanted. All of my fittings were legit a breeze. It never was a hassle. Bella Sposa made everything so easy and I highly recommend getting any formal wear you need from there!
I came to Bella Sposa after having been to 4-5 other dress shops along LaGrange Rd and was lucky to have Jamie (who is also their seamstress) as my bridal dress consultant! This made a huge difference to me because everywhere else I had looked, the other consultants couldn't tell me in much detail/with much confidence how certain alterations would look or affect parts of the dress.
I found my dress (unexpectedly through the Essence of Australia line) and they made sure it all got ordered properly and I did all the alterations with Jamie as expected. I also had a separate appointment with another consultant to find a veil, and they were very patient and helpful throughout to find veil options with lace that matched the lace on my dress (despite not being made by the same company).
All in all, I would highly recommend Bella Sposa! It was about a 35 minute drive each way from home to get there and I am glad we did it!
While the appointment it self was good, my bridal consultant was not that personal with me, and estimated my budget before I even provided my budget to her. When I gave her my budget, her interest in helping me declined, and with every dress I tried on, my "Budget" was always brought up with trying on the dress. Basically stating that I couldn't afford them. A budget is not what you can afford, but what you would like to spend. I felt a bit slighted, and was just trying on the dresses to fulfill my appointment. My sister had gotten her dress from here, so I was really excited to go, but it was a general let down. As well as there minimal plus size section as well.
My entire experience start to finish was great at Bella Sposa and I am so thankful to Jamie for the alterations she made to my dress. Thank you to your team for helping me find the dress of my dreams!
Let me start by saying, my dress buying appointment was good. This review is based on my alterations at Bella Sposa. I hadn’t planned on posting a review, however I sent them this via email directly and via their Facebook messenger and did not receive a response. I set up my first appointment on 7/14/22 with Jamie. My wedding was on 8/19/22 and I realize that is a short time period for alterations, which is why I was charged the $75 rush fee. Absolutely understandable. What wasn’t understandable is how Jamie didn’t do the alterations she said she was going to do for two separate appointments.. one of which being my final appointment to pick up the dress.
-My first and second appointment 7/14 & 7/23 were fine. Jamie asked me to bring someone to show the bustle to for the third appointment.
-When my Bridesmaid and I showed up on 7/28 for my scheduled appointment we could immediately see the shock on her face that she forgot about the appointment. She went to the back for 15 minutes and came back up apologizing that she had to take a break but she was quickly doing the alterations she was supposed to have had done for the appointment. My strap alterations. This is my biggest issue. People forget and mess up schedules appointment. That I can forgive. I can’t forgive that my dress strap BROKE during my reception because she rushed to do the alterations she forgot about. We used a safety pin to hold my dress together. I was care free my whole wedding day until that moment.
-My dress pick up day was 8/4 and she again didn’t do the alterations she was supposed to. The white part underneath needed a bustle and she just didn’t do it. I tried the dress on and reminded her so she did it right then. If I hadn’t caught that what would I have done?
I’m also attaching the pictures of how my dress was given to me to take home. It was chopped up and looked terrible. I brought it back in to have her fix it but was so discouraged with the multiple issues I just wanted to get out of there. I asked her to take her time to fixed it since we had over two weeks before my wedding but she just did it then. I don’t think my dress was steamed and finished like it was supposed to be because hopefully someone would have caught how choppy it was. Jamie blamed the back of the house for not catching it. She admitted she was embarrassed she sent my dress home like that. She shouldn’t have accepted me if she couldn’t do it right.
Maureen and Jaime are the absolute best. they listened to exactly what I wanted and found me the most amazing dress. each fitting I felt more and more comfortable in my dress and Jaime is such a talented seamstress! best dress ever.
My entire experience with Bella Sposa was great! I was referred by a family member who also had a positive experience! At my first appointment to try on dresses, my consultant was amazing! She was so helpful and kind. She was so fast with picking out dresses for me to try on. I showed her what I was looking for, but also wanted to try on different dresses as well, and she did just that! She could quickly tell what I liked and what I didn’t, and she offered up her opinions as well, which were always helpful! I ended up buying my dress that day, but I never felt rushed or pressured into it. I used one of their seamstresses as well for my alterations, and had a positive experience throughout that process. I live out of town, and scheduling an appointment was always easy, and they were always willing to work with me to get me in at my convenience. Would highly recommend!
I had gone to a couple shops and had actually found a dress I loved. Something told me to wait and keep my appt at Bella Sposa the next day, so I did. I'm so glad I did because I found my perfect dress! Deb was wonderful and pulled some amazing dresses. She hit the nail on the head with my dress. It is absolutely gorgeous.
I had the best experience at Bella Sposa! It was the first and only place I went. I worked with Maureen and she was amazing! There was a wide variety of dresses that I was able to try on, and figure out what would look best on me. My family and I were in a private area where we could have a fun and relaxing experience while trying on dresses. The open floor plan also allowed you to see what other brides were trying on to help spark inspiration, but you did not feel like anyone else was in your space. The price was very reasonable, and I thought it came fairly quick. The team was also very accommodating in allowing me me to come back into the shop to try on the sample dress before mine came in while I went through my hair trials. I highly recommend Bella Sposa!
I am so disappointed in this boutique. I had been looking forward to coming here for my wedding bridesmaid dresses. It's why I got my maid of honor dress for another wedding and it was beautiful. But my visit was unfortunately disappointing. I remember several racks of bridesmaid dresses before, now there is literally just one rack. The lady mentioned there were other dresses in the back but for some reason they weren't out and she made it seem as if I couldn't see them. She wanted to pick it and bring it out for me. And the colors were very limited. Again, this is bridesmaid dresses, not my wedding dress but I still wanted to find something beautiful there for my party.
I love my dress so much! I am seriously sad that I will never wear it again. Bella Sposa has been such a pleasure to work with! I felt that Megan really took the time to help me find my dress and ensure that I was happy with it. She also stayed within my budget which was a huge plus. I also had my alterations done there too and Jamie was truly an angel to work with. I'm just sad that it's all over!
I have nothing but good things to say about Bella Sposa! I am one of the most indecisive people and probably tried on 12 dresses but Lauren made me feel so uncomfortable and didn't rush me whatsoever - I would recommend anyone to use Bella Sposa!
Jamie is amazing! She helped my sister find her beautiful wedding dress years ago and then helped me find my dress. I explained to her the styles I was interested in and she let me try on multiple dresses so that I could get a better idea of what I wanted. Once I narrowed it down to two dresses, she had me try on a veil with both of them and gave me a little boutique. It helped me determine which one to choose and I’m so happy with my dress! She did alterations on my dress and bustled it for me. When my dress was ready, she allowed us to pick it up closer to the wedding date and they steamed the veil. I would highly recommend going to Bella Sposa for your wedding dress! They have a big selection of dresses, very professional, and they are so sweet!
Best. Bridal salon. EVER. my family has been coming here since they first opened over a decade ago. My oldest sister got her wedding gown and vow renewal dress, another sister got her wedding dress there, I got both my wedding dress AND my prom dress there (back in the day. They don’t do prom dresses any more!) , and my best friend came from Michigan to find her dress here because of my rave reviews.
Every time we have come the service has been consistently amazing. They treat you like family. They help you work in your budget. I even had a dress I fell in love with that was out of production, and I didn’t like how the sample fit. They called the designer and found THE last dress being made with the last bit of lace they had and convinced them to make it in my size.
They let you take plenty of pictures too!
Alterations through the store are top notch with a very reasonable price.
The ladies at Bella Sposa were amazing!!! They helped me find my dream dress even if it meant putting sleeves on a sleeveless dress! Jamie was amazing, her alteration work was perfect including my hand sewn lace sleeves. Thank you all for making my cliff-side wedding a dream with my dream dress.
Only place worth looking at! They have the best dresses around, entire staff is extremely helpful and they have a tux shop attached! So happy I found my dress here. Ask for Lauren she’s the best!!
My wife was super excited when she found a dress she loved her first time in the store. We ordered the dress and it ended up coming in early.
We were quoted an initial price for her alterations that seemed high but we decided to pay it and use their recommended seamstress. The seamstress informed us that there would likely be 2-3 fitting appointments but she had someone else support my wife for the second appointment. She was not there for it. The second appointment ended up making the dress fit worse and they had to restart during the third appointment. They ended up getting the dress to fit perfect but ended up charging an additional 30% above the initial quote and had us come in for four fitting appointments even though the dress was made specifically for my wife.
The day before the wedding we ended up finding a spot on the back of the dress. They ended up taking it back and cleaned it for us and delivered it that night to our getting ready location.
My experience finding my wedding dress at Bella Sposa was amazing. These ladies were able to listen to my likes and dislikes as I tried on dresses and helped me find my dream dress. They really worked hard to make sure everything was perfect. One minor detail to keep in mind is that Bella Sposa isn't a big chain dress shop - make sure you have plenty of time between dress shopping and your wedding. They need time to get your gorgeous dress in!! Jamie in alterations was also a MIRACLE worker. She transformed my dress into something that looked like it was made for me. I also got my bridesmaid dresses here and they were gorgeous and my bridesmaids had so much fun. I highly recommend!!!
I went in to try on some dresses for my 10 year renewal and the consultant was very helpful and patient . I didn’t find my dress yet because I am very picky and different but I will go back to look at this particular dress because it may be the one ❤️ With some adjustments
Bella Sposa was the absolute perfect place to buy my wedding dress. I purchased a bridesmaid dress from here a few years ago and I had such a great experience that I didn't even consider getting my dress from anywhere else. From the first appointment where I picked the first dress I tried on, thanks to their expertise at knowing exactly which dresses I should try on, to every alterations appointment, each appointment was so fun, professional, and easy! All of the ladies made me feel so welcome, they were so friendly and nice, they answered all of my questions, and gave amazing advice! I was so glad I did my alterations there, along with buying my veil! I even dropped off my dress to get cleaned and persevered after the wedding, which they also made super easy!! I recommend Bella Sposa to every bride looking for a perfect wedding dress shopping experience!
I loved getting my wedding dress at Bella Sposa! They were so helpful the day I was trying on dresses and let me spend lots of time making sure I was completely sure of my purchase. I also used one of their in-house seamstresses and she did an incredible job - especially at the fittings when I needed some extra help! I definitely recommend this shop!
I used this vendor to find my wedding dress, I purchased a veil and dress from Essence of Australia and I couldn’t be more happy with my dream dress. The staff were absolutely amazing. They were so careful and tentative with helping me choose my dress. They definitely knew what they were doing and listened to what I wanted. I highly recommend this amazing experience to future brides.
The staff at Bella Sposa really made the wedding dress experience wonderful for me! They were very casual, never trying to push anything on me, and gave great suggestions when needed! The dress I ended up purchasing was a beautiful Stella York and the only blip was that I was between two dress sizes and the size they had me order was a bit small and it had to be taken out almost two inches in the waist. It was able to be altered easily and the dress fit everywhere else no issue. I got so many compliments all night and I will definitely be recommending this boutique to all future brides!
My experience at Bella Sposa was 10/10 from the very beginning. The staff was incredible; they were knowledgable, friendly, and accomdating. Bella Sposa had a large selection of gowns to choose from in every price range. My dress was stunning and altered to perfection.
I came to Bella Sposa first as a MOH for a friend and saw the amazing work that the team did to listen to what she wanted out of a dress and deliver just that! When it was my turn to then pick out my wedding dress, I worked with Lauren and she helped me find the most PERFECT dress. She never pressured me into any decision, and made sure that I felt comfortable and didnt settle for anything less than perfection. They also had a great variety of dresses to choose from. I couldn't rave more about Lauren and the team at Bella Sposa!
I highly recommend Bella Sposa! They have a wide variety of styles and price points. I was able to find the most beautiful dress thanks to the help of Megan. She was so knowledgeable about the dresses in store and made the process so fun and enjoyable. She also helped me think of possibilities for accessorizing my dress. Definitely make an appointment at Bella Sposa for a memorable wedding dress shopping trip!
Staff here are so friendly and helpful. Dresses are beautiful and vary based on your budget and body type. We purchased 2 wedding gowns, 3 junior bridesmaid dresses, and over 15 bridesmaid dresses from Bella. With a large bridal party, they were really helpful and suggested great seamstresses that were knowledgeable and cognizant of our bridal party and wedding date.
Since we had 2 brides and we were purchasing them at the same location, we asked for help to not see each others dresses. Staff was absolutely amazing in helping with that request and keeping everything separate.
Would absolutely recommend to any bride!
Honestly, this place was AMAZING! I went to a couple bridal shops and none were as personal or helpful as the ladies here. I had the pleasure of working with Lauren and, since day 1, she was phenomenal. She never once pushed us out of our budget or towards anything I wasn’t a fan of. She was super nice, shared the excitement of wedding bliss and finding a dress and just made the overall experience great! I found my dress in 2019 and due to COVID wasn’t able to wear it until May 2021. They worked with my new dates and even helped with matching my junior bridesmaid dresses to my bridesmaids. Every person there working was so nice and EASY to work with!
I also had my alterations done here and let me tell you, Jamie is a miracle worker! I altered my dress quite a bit to change the original style of trumpet to more sheath and the dress was PERFECT. I explained my initial concerns of it being too tight (cuz you know, COVID) and she assured me we could make it work. I felt so comfortable in my dress when she was done. It fit perfectly and exactly how I had envisioned and wanted.
I’m telling you, this place is hands down the best! I would go here again for any formal dresses and recommend them to any and everyone!
No other Bridal Store compared! From great prices, to wonderful customer service, to amazing quality dresses and numerous options!!
Shout out to Maureen and Meghan for helping me pick my dress and Veil!
Thank you, thank you! I will refer your Bridal Boutique to everyone I know!
Best bridal salon ever! Did my dress adjustments here and she was the best ever. Get what you pay for and a great group of women that work here. I don’t like dress shopping and they always made you feel great and super patient when making a choice. Couldn’t have picked a better place to find my dream dress!!!
The staff at Bella Sposa made finding my dress easy as can be. The women who work there are kind, professional and patient. I came in with some ideas and after putting on each dress, saying what I liked or didn’t like Meghan had it narrowed down to “the dress” after only trying on 5 dresses! After my dress came in, fittings were a breeze! Jamie explained what needed to be done and tweaked it as needed. A month after my wedding my friends and family are still talking about my dress!
LOVED my dress from Bella Sposa. They made the whole process amazing; from trying on, to purchasing, to alterations. Jamie is a rockstar! I felt like a princess on the day of my wedding and am so grateful to Bella Sposa! Would highly recommend for any bride! I live about an hour from the store, and it was well worth each trip there!
I had the most wonderful experience finding my wedding dress at Bella Sposa! From the time I called to make my appointment to the time I said yes to the dress, they were so kind and helpful. Lauren, the stylist that helped me throughout my appointment, was amazing. She truly listened to my likes and dislikes and was so patient. She took what I was saying into full consideration and kept me calm and made the experience enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend working with the staff here to find your wedding dress!!
The women at the boutique were always very kind and helpful. They were always very busy, so an appointment is recommended! They were willing to show me as many dresses as I wanted, and they were very open minded in the appointment, especially because I didn't know what I wanted at first. They made sure to stick to dresses in my price range, and they had a really good selection! Now that I'm married, I wish they had information on their website about dress cleaning/preservation.
Bella Sposa was a one-stop shop for me!!!! Right from the beginning they had the same exact dress I found on Pinterest that I wanted to try on. Maureen made sure that I try on different styles so I could find my perfect dress. The selection of dresses they had was unmatched and finding my perfect was the smoothest process here! I recommend Bella Sposa to whoever is looking for a wedding dress in our area. Such a smooth and perfect experience...wish I could do it all over again!
I had the best experience at Bella Sposa! Jamie, Megan, and the other girls were absolutely amazing. We felt relaxed, happy, and excited! I felt no pressure at all, and I felt so loved and supported while shopping for my wedding dress during this crazy time. Jamie and Megan were so patient, kind, and helpful. I ended up getting the 3rd dress I tried on, and it is my dream wedding dress. I couldn’t be happier, and I HIGHLY recommend Bella Sposa! You’ll be so happy you went here :)
I had an amazing experience at Bella Sposa! The staff was so helpful in making sure I found the wedding dress of my dreams. I went into my appointment very anxious that I would not find the right dress. I tried on dress after dress. One of the wonderful ladies there saw me and said she had the perfect one! She took the time to take a stunning dress off of the mannequin that she had just put on there. I tried it on,and I knew it was the one! The women here go above and beyond to make their brides happy! I was the only bride in the store the day of my appointment, and I felt so valued and cared for. I truly do not think you can find another place as special as Bella Sposa. Thank you so much!
I loved my experience at Bella Sposa!! They had so many beautiful dresses to choose from (and they were within my budget!). Lauren was such a fantastic consultant. She was so sweet, honest, and able to help me stay focused when I was torn between two beautiful dresses! I found an absolutely gorgeous dress that made me feel like a bride and like myself. She also helped my mom and grandma envision what certain dresses would look like in different colors, which was a great help. I’d say she went above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend this salon to anyone. 😊
BEST BRIDAL SHOP EVER!!! I highly recommend Bella Sposa to everyone looking for a beautiful dress and an amazing experience. I've had a few bridesmaids dresses from here now and will never go anywhere else! The staff is very friendly, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and down to earth. The appointments were always fun and personable. They helped my sister basically customize a gown to be exactly what she wanted and they had everything we needed making it a one-stop-shop! Finding my MOH dress along with the other maids was SO EASY - even for the out of town girls. Very helpful when looking for maids dresses that look good and fit all girls shapes and sizes. They really know how to make a girl feel special and look beautiful. LOVED EVERYTHING and I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN!!! THANK YOU BELLA SPOSA!!!
Everyone here is so friendly and willing to help make your big day special. I found my fairytale dress! Jamie did the alterations and altered it beautifully and worked with all of my requests and needs. I was worried when waiting for the dress to come in and when I would call to check it’s status they would assure me it would be in in time and tell me not to worry. It came in with plenty of time and I was really lucky because the actual dress size fit me like a glove which NEVER happens!
They were amazing! My sister got married last summer and me in December, we got both dresses and all bridesmaid dresses there and we could not have been happier. They were amazing the entire time making sure we were happy and made sure that everything was perfect. There were times that it seemed like they knew us better than we knew ourselves. They did everything possible to make sure both went flawlessly! Jamie and Meghan were amazing to work with an I could not imagine a better team to help with the dresses for the best days ever!
f I could give this salon a 0, I would. This was my second of 3 appointments and it was a terrible experience. Initially, they asked what I was envisioning for my wedding dress, but it soon turned into an appointment where I felt they were telling me what they thought I would look good in. It seemed that no matter what me or my friends said when I had a dress on, they didn't listen. Even when they brought the inventory manager in, she did the same thing. The worst part was when they kept trying to convince us that I looked good in something. I left the appointment extremely frustrated which is the absolute opposite of how a future bride should feel. Make sure to look elsewhere for your dress if you want a good experience.
I could not have had a better experience finding my dream wedding dress at Bella Sposa! The boutique is beautiful and well laid out, and they have a vast selection of well-made gowns. Jamie and her staff were incredibly kind and patient, and listened to what I wanted when pulling dresses for me. I also never felt pressured or rushed, which made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire appointment. It is clear that Jamie truly loves what she does, and wants to help every bride feel her absolute best on her wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Bella Sposa for future brides. Thank you so much, Jamie and Bella Sposa!
