Belle Saison has been great to work with! I had an appointment with Iliana for my dress and she was nothing but pleasant. She paid attention to what styles I liked and was able to pick out one additional dress to try on based on pricing and style. This one ended up being the one I chose! If you do choose to go to Belle Saison, I highly recommend Iliana.
Had the most unfortunate experience at Belle saison. I bought my dress there 15 months in advance to avoid stress. My dress came in 2 months late. no big deal, I went to go, try it on, and the dress was damaged. The shop agreed to fix the dress, they said it would take a few months. They never updated me on when the dress was going to be ready. I had to call and email in order to get an update. At this point I wasn't very stressed out because we still had months until the wedding.
I finally got an update. The store said the dress was fixed, however, it looked even worse than it did originally. At this point they just said they would order a new dress for me entirely. I was totally fine with that.
They never gave me an update as to when the dress would be arriving. I called and emailed a few months later to ask when it would be here and they gave me a date. That date came and went and they never reached out to me. I had to call again to get an update. Finally they give me another arrival date, it never came and they again didn't update me.
Getting an update from them was like pulling teeth. I finally got pretty frustrated because it had been almost a year since we originally ordered the dress and my wedding was getting very close. I had to tell them if it wasn't here within a few weeks then I didn't want the dress anymore. Magically two days later the dress arrived. I go to try it on, and the dress has the same issue as the first one AND another even more noticeable issue. I was so upset and frustrated at this point because to me, it looks like the same dress but with another issue. I told them at this point that I didn't even want the dress anymore. Itold them to keep it and I just wanted a refund. Obviously they didn't want the dress because no one would buy it full price in that condition. They tried to gaslight me and tell me the dress looked fine when it was very clearly ripped in two places.
They would not give me my money Back.I was more than reasonable the months and months I didn't hear back from them I didn't make a scene. I had to call my credit card company and dispute the charge, which added even more stress on me and made the whole dress shopping experience really unenjoyable. It was supposed to be exciting and it definitely was not.
RUN FROM BELLE SAISON!!!!!!
This was my very first bridal dress appointment -- and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Patience was kind, patient, and most importantly: respectful. She was attentive and made sure everyone in my bridal party was comfortable.
If you're looking for a relatively budget-friendly salon with a wide range of dresses: look no further.
Absolutely enjoyed my experience with Belle Saison!! I tried on several dresses which the team was great about not getting irritated with me constantly changing my mind. When I mentioned I had another store visit, they understood and encouraged me to try on as many as I needed to in order to ensure I made the right choice. I ultimately chose my dress from Belle Saison and loved it so much!
Belle Saison had a great selection of dresses and really nice staff who made the shopping experience pleasant. I don't think she works there any more, but Faith was truly the best and helped me find my dream dress.
I had been to quite a few bridal stores by the time I went to Belle Saison. Actually, I thought I had found my dress already, by the time I went to Belle Saison! I was considering an off-the-rack dress that was not my true size at the time. I wish I could remember the name of who helped us, but I bought my dress a while ago - in the summer of 2020. I think it was Amy! When we went in, they gave us (my mom and I) a few markers to put on dresses I liked. We were struggling, and Amy asked us if we had a dress we were trying to beat (we did). Based on the picture of the possible dress, she found the dress I ended up choosing! I had a very specific set of things I knew I liked/disliked already, so hunting down *the* dress that met all of my requirements was tricky. After we had ordered the dress and it came in (in January 2021), I was a bit worried as it seemed too small, yet my body size had not changed. I was reassured that this was because of the stiffness of the new dress, and this was absolutely true. I was completely comfortable in it after putting it on a few times for alterations! I kept my dress at Belle Saison and it was always easy to access for trying on with various shoes - I just called ahead and they pulled it out for me to grab at a time of my choosing. I did my (minimal) alterations at Nelda's Tailors nearby which was super convenient, and I paid for Belle Saison's package in which they steam your dress for you and also send it off to be preserved after your big day. I recommend it, especially if you have a large skirt with lots of tulle that would be time consuming to steam. Thank you Belle Saison for helping me find the dress of my dreams!
I bought my first wedding dress from another store with a pushy sales lady. They only cared about making a sale and getting the next bride in. I had a lot of wedding dress regret and went to Belle Saison only a month before my wedding. I worked with Iliana who was AMAZING. She was so attentive and patient with me while I tried on different dresses. She worked so hard to find me the perfect dress off the rack and made the entire wedding dress experience FUN. I am so glad we went back here before my wedding. I highly recommend this store, and Iliana!!!!
The girls at Belle Saison were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire wedding planning process. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I knew what I didn't want, and Faith was able to take all of that and help me find my dress. It was literally the 2nd dress I tried on (and the first shop I planned on going to) and I knew it was the right one. On top of that, she helped me find an amazing tailor around the corner, and they were able to hang on to my dress in between alterations, bridal portraits and the wedding day, which was a huge weight off my shoulders not having to hide it from my husband/worry about getting anything on it. Highly recommend this shop to buy your dress! Amazing selections and service!
This is the only place I would recommend to buy a wedding dress they are very helpful ,kind and the there is no pressure on you too buy
Faith was the ABSOLUTE best Bridal Consultant. I cannot day enough about her and how beautiful she made me feel in everything I tried on. She went above & beyond what I ever could have expected. I am a curvy bride, and she never made me feel anything but fabulous. I found the perfect dress, and it was from so much assistance from Faith!!
I HIGHLY recommend Bella Saison and if you go, ask to book with Faith. You will not regret it!!
Incredible customer service. Our bridal consultant, Faith, was a joy to work with. She added extra tips beyond just the dress. Was extremely understandable about the budget that we were working with. Had an excellent selection of dresses to choose from. Highly recommend this place!
I didn’t end up getting my wedding dress at Belle Saison, but it was a VERY close tie. Their dresses are amazing and I really couldn’t believe how affordable they were. They have a really good selection compared to other places I went. Faith was very helpful and sweet, I would highly recommend Belle Saison!
This was the best experience in dress shopping. I went to David's Bridal and attempted to go to Lush Bridal Lounge, but Amy was amazing!!! I said yes to the dress which was about $1400. It was perfect! I only tried on four dresses before I said yes! Amy, thank you so much and I look forward to continuing working with Belle Saison Bridal💗!
I had a fantastic time here. The staff is wonderful. Hands down the best customer service experience after visiting multiple shops. What makes their customer service so great is 1. clear communication: they went out of their way to know exactly what i wanted, to ensure i knew realistic pricing and timelines 2. friendly: i had to reschedule my appointment multiple times do to COVID-19 each time i spoke with someone on the phone/email/in person they were very kind 3. they went above and beyond: they pulled dress after dress for me, answered all my questions, took in all my feedback. They have a very large dress selection. They respected my budget. I would highly recommend going here for your wedding dress.
I went to Belle Saison as my first wedding dress shop and I found my dress within 30 minutes. I told them the exact style I was looking for and Amy pulled one with all the descriptions I had given her, but just for fun I pulled 4 other completely different styles. Well, the one I envisioned and the one Amy found for me was PERFECT. I instantly started crying when I put it on and I knew it was the one. Such a good experience, staff was friendly all around and there was just a good atmosphere in the bridal store. No they don't do alterations but they recommend Nelda's in the same shopping center and she was awesome.
The only thing that made me a little bit iffy was that when I picked up my dress and veil, my veil was just thrown in like a little plastic heb bag and I thought that was an odd way to keep something as important as a veil.
We found the wedding dress of my daughter's dreams at Belle Saison. They were very helpful in every way. I would highly recommend them for your wedding needs.
I had a great experience finding my dress here. Centrally located with attentive and experienced staff, they made me feel right at home. Brittany was open and patient. and so helpful throughout my many visits. The selection was great and the prices were affordable. I was glad to have a group of professional and supportive women helping me through this process. So glad to be part of the Belle Saison family!
Brittany was a joy to work with at Belle Saison Bridal!! She helped me find the perfect wedding dress and really understood what look I was going for. She also made sure my veil, dress, and fur wrap all came together for that old Hollywood feel. She was attentive during all of my appointments and made sure I loved everything. Brittany even found one of my bridesmaid's wedding dresses when she got married! I cannot thank her and the entire Belle Saison staff enough for making our wedding come true!!
Faith was amazing. I got my Wedding dress and Amy and Faith were awesome!! They treated my family and I awesome. Love them so much. Come to place!
I had tried 3 other stores until a friend recommended Belle Saison. I'm so glad I went! I was paired up with Amy. She picked out a few dresses for me to try on, and I found "The One" in under 30 minutes. The dress I selected is a champagne color, which I never would have picked out on my own, but it looked good with my skin tone. Amy is an expert at clipping the dress to help you visualize how it will look after alterations. I was a novice and assumed I'd just be buying the dress off the rack. I didn't realize it had to be ordered and made, so 6 months was barely enough time to have a dress ready. Amy said there wasn't enough time to do custom measurements, but they could order me a standard size with a hem 4 inches shorter than the sample. The hardest part was waiting for the dress to come in! =) It finally arrived about 2 weeks before my wedding, giving me just enough time to get it altered. Fortunately, the hem was the perfect length, as long as I wore about a 3.25" heel, which Amy suggested. My only complaint was that I felt a little pushed to purchase the $89 petticoat without trying it on first. It turned out I did not need it, as the dress was already the right length, and my seamstress did not recommend it. Unfortunately, Belle Saison would not allow me to return it, but hopefully I can sell it to someone and get some money back. I wanted to spend about $1000 on the dress, but I ended up spending $1400, including tax. I have no regrets though. I received so many compliments on my dress. Thank you, Amy!
So easy to work with! Brittany had all of the suggestions and worked hard to find the perfect dress and veil for me. They had such a great selection and prices ranges for everyone!
Had an amazing experience with this bridal salon. Brittany was so sweet and patient and I didn't feel rushed or stressed at all here. I found my perfect dress and it ended up being really different that what I had envisioned initially! Great establishment, helpful and priced right for what I had in mind.
I chose Belle Saison because my best friend found her wedding dress here and I loved the experience that we had when we went with her. I went into this shop with a very specific look in mind. Amy helped me the first time I went in and found my dress that I was able to customize perfectly! Then, when I went in for my fitting I worked with Faith who helped me pick a perfect matching veil, recommended a seamstress, and helped me with dress care for bridals and until the day of my wedding. Both ladies were so wonderful to work with! I highly recommend this shop!
I had an amazing experience finding my DREAM dress here! Faith was my stylist and I would highly recommend her. She was very helpful and knowledgeable but not overbearing or pushy! I enjoyed every bit of my experience.
I had nothing short of an amazing experience with Belle Saison Bridal! Their team and the vibe in their bridal salon make your experience so personal and special. Belle Saison carries top of the line designers and their consultants really takes your style and preferences into consideration when pulling dresses for you to try on. Iliana was such a pleasure to work with! She is super knowledgeable about the designers and she made me feel beautiful and confident when trying on dresses. She helped pin my hair up, put a head piece into my hair, and place a veil on me when trying on dresses so that I felt confident in choosing the perfect dress for me. Belle Saison was very professional and organized when it came to letting me know when the dress was ready for pickup, explaining my options for alterations, and offering me packages for cleaning, steaming, and preserving my dress. I would recommend Belle Saison Bridal to anyone for any bridal attire needs you may have!
RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN
Bought a wedding dress for over $1,100 and they ordered the wrong color and blamed the owner saying “they accidentally keyed in the wrong color”
The only thing they could do to help was make me wait an extra month over my wait time for the right dress. Leaving me no time for alterations. Oh also, they don’t even do alterations in store
And their mistake made my alterations cost skyrocket because for some reason it’s my responsibility to fix their monumental mistake?
And when I say wrong color I mean they ordered NUDE in the front panel instead of IVORY. How could a mistake that big be made on a wedding dress?
Beyond upset they didn’t even offer to help pay for alterations on their own mistake. Will never be recommending this place to anyone ever. They only care about the $$ (extremely overpriced considering the beads have been falling off like crazy as well)
On top of it all the lady that assisted me had to CUT out the nude cups with SCISSORS to attempt to make it look right....NOT WHAT I PAID FOR
Belle Saison is the best bridal salon in ATX! I went to several other salons and most were out of my price range with a very limited selection. Belle Saison has an amazing, wide selection of dresses that are both BEAUITFUL and reasonably priced! All the ladies that work there are awesome, but Faith is the best! She's kind, knowledgeable, professional, and patient. She helped me try on so many dresses and had helpful input until I found my dream dress, that I was able to customize! My dress came in early and they took such great care of it. I highly recommend Belle Saison!
Brittany was my consultant and she did an absolute job. The whole team was very patient with me and my anxiety. I was so nervous about not finding a dress and not only did I walk out with the dress of my dreams it was also way under budget! This place was magical and I couldn’t be happier.
Had a great time finding my dress. Faith was so helpful and made the process efficient and easy. Love my dress!!
Start to finish I had a wonderful experience! This was my third appointment and I was pretty discouraged, but Faith totally turned that around. She was sooo helpful and began picking soo many dresses that I loved. We were a last minute appointment and she made time for us and was so attentive. I felt like we were friends by the end of it. I found my dress and it was such a special day. Thank you so much, Faith and Belle Saison Bridal!!!
I found what I thought would be my "Dream Dress" on The Knot's dress gallery and Belle Saison was one of the only bridal dress shops in Texas that had a sample available. I called the shop to confirm the gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress was there and told the consultant I felt it was "the one" even though I hadn't tried on a single dress, yet. I knew it probably sounded silly to her, but she didn't make me feel silly. They worked with me to get an appointment the next day and I drove almost four hours by myself to rule this one dress out. Well, trust your gut, fellow brides! Faith was my consultant and she is AMAZING!!! She made me feel like a princess and validated my choice like we had been girlfriends for years. She took pictures of me, Facetimed my bridesmaids so they could see me in The Dress, chitchatted with me while she took my measurements so I didn't feel awkward in my underwear with a perfect stranger, and my dress ordered so I could get back on the road before rush hour traffic started. Bottomline: I would HIGHLY recommend Belle Saison. They have a HUGE selection of every style of gown you could imagine and the consultants know every single one of them, so you will find your Dream Dress just like me! xoxo ~ Chelsea
I found Belle Saison via the Allure Bridals website when I was trying to order my wedding dress (I originally found the dress in another state, but they lost my order, and were awful). They were super helpful in taking my measurements, and offering suggestions sizing wise - they were really great at providing feedback and helping me choose a size (as I was in-between).
I will say I did try on a couple dresses while I was there, and I could barely get any of the dresses past my hips (I'm 5'3", 165#, athletic build). If that had been my first experience trying on dresses, I would have been so deflated. I would just make sure they have the bridal sizes you're looking for before going.
I went in December to my first appointment looking for a wedding dress and I have Faith. Faith was AMAZING and could just read the room. She understood what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect dress. If you are going to schedule an appointment here, you NEED to ask for Faith.
Faith is absolutely amazing! I didn’t expect to find any dress that matched my vision today, but she found multiple! She made me feel happy, excited, and beautiful. I walked away with the dress of my dreams! 🥰
This store quoted me a price twice and when I called to order they said it was $2000 over the price they quoted me and would not go down at all. The manager said there was a glitch in the computer and she didn’t want to be responsible for her employees.
Faith was amazing! Wished really listened to what I was looking for a knocked it right out of the park! I found my dream dress for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. I received an email the day before, confirming my appointment, introducing me to who would be helping me, and asking for any specifics I had in mind for my dream dress. When I arrived, Faith showed me exactly which areas of the store fit my descriptions and were easily in my price range. I was able to walk around and pick dresses I liked with my bridesmaids, mother, and MIL. Faith listened to every detail of what I wanted and eventually picked out the dress I said yes to from that description! She helped me envision my dream and found the perfect dress based on that. It was even well under my budget! We were so impressed with the customer service that we will be buying our bridesmaids dresses here too. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
This place was fantastic, I had an amazing experience! Faith was my bridal consultant, she totally understood what I was looking for and was so kind and patient. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back salon with a huge selection of gowns. The salon was very clean and the set up was just right so it felt like you were the only group in the store. Highly, highly recommend.
I was having trouble deciding on "the dress" and went to multiple dress shops until my mom mentioned Belle Saison and so we randomly decided to stop at their shop on a Saturday and without hesitation or making it awkward they let me know a bride had cancelled so I could try on a few dresses. Low and behold the first dress I tried on was the one!!! I even cried which I am not one to cry over anything!!! Their staff is great and the dresses are beautiful. I highly recommend brides to check out Belle Saison! I purchased my veil here as well. :)
I had a general idea of my “dream dress” when I walked in. Brittany, my AMAZING consultant, found dresses that she thought would fit my style and body and I cannot thank her enough because without her I would’ve never even seen the one I am getting. She brought out several dresses from the Morilee collection and helped me feel like a complete princess. She was patient, helped me try on dresses that I thought I’d like, and found perfect accessories for the dress that ended up being the one.
The best part was I did not feel rushed or pressured to buy whatsoever. I felt so relaxed and comforted. If you’re able to go to Belle Saison and Brittany is available to be your consultant PLEASE do yourself the favor of spending your appointment with her.
I love Belle Saison and I will be recommending it to all my friends. The space accommodated the group of lovely ladies that came with me and I liked that the store has a budget for dresses so there was no getting my hopes up but later finding out that the dress was too pricey. I found the dress of my dreams, but wanted my upper body a bit more covered. Amy saved the day. She grabbed a little lace jacket and a belt that made me feel comfortable and confident. I also loved the play on patterns that those two pieces brought to the dress. My guests were stunned when I told them later that the dress was 3 non-related pieces. I am very thankful for Amy's eye because I would have missed the opportunity to wear this dress if she wasn't there. Also, there preservation package is well priced and worth every penny!
Faith was wonderful with her knowledge of dresses. I browsed about -15 min on my own then straight to work! Faith was extremely helpful and great to work with!! We found my dress !! And bought a bridesmaid dress! Perfect day and was not overwhelming!
Do not go here, if I could give it zero stars I would. If you are looking for a low rate dress and horrible service then check this place out. My “stylist” had me try on dresses that I had told her I did not like in the first place, worst bridal store ever!
Wonderful! I ended up falling in love with another dress at a different salon, but this was definitely the best dress experience. Faith helped me and and my sister determine our bridal style. SUPER respectful of the budget you give, not at all pushy. This is definitely the place to go if you have no idea what you want. I can’t recommend Faith higher. She sat with me, pointing out details in gowns to see what I liked and didn’t like, and offered suggestions way outside my comfort zone that I actually loved. Trust these ladies!
I had the best experience at Belle Saison!! Faith was FABULOUS!! I had a short 3-month engagement, so I had to find the right dress fast. Not only did I find it, but I bought it off the rack at a huge discount and she connected me to a fantastic seamstress who got my alterations done in time. I would send any bride to see Faith!!!
I had a great experience at Belle Saison (Sarah is the best!). I had a specific type of dress that I wanted, but could not find exactly what I wanted when looking in stores. Sarah brought me that perfect dress (without me pointing it out!) and found me sleeves and a veil to go with it. Great experience, from beginning to end. Thank you!
I went in looking for a tea length dress, which I was having trouble finding, and they had a great selection of beautiful tea length dresses. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. And I got the beautiful wedding dress I was dreaming of!!
Belle Saison was my fourth bridal store (two in Houston then David’s bridal beforehand) and found the perfect dress! Faith was my consultant and she was AMAZING! I already had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, but Faith also got a very quick grasp of what I liked and didn’t like so she was able to hand pick out dresses I didn’t see. She was patient and just super awesome all around. Thank you Faith and Belle Saison!!
Belle Saison has A LOT of great dresses to choose from and I did end up buying my wedding dress there. However, I was measured completely wrong and ended up purchasing a dress that was a couple of sizes too small. When the girl told me that I should order a size 4 it didn't seem right but I trusted her judgement, since it's her job. I got my dress in and I couldn't even zip it. I found a great seamstress and $650 later I fit into my dress. I would just say trust your instincts when ordering a size but they do have a lot of great dress options.
Best bridal salon in Austin, hands down! Their selection of gowns is very vast with a large variety of designers, styles, and prices. While trying on dresses, the young woman helping me was great about listening to my likes and dislikes to help narrow down the search and she ultimately pulled the perfect gown for me. They are polite and patient, and most importantly very mindful of my price point. We also ended up getting my bridesmaid's gowns from there as well. All the dresses come in on time, if not early, and all were very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend making your first appointment here before anywhere else!
My first appointment to pick out my dress went effortlessly. I had already looked at some Stella York dresses, so I knew that was the designer I wanted to go with. They immediately pointed me to the right direction and I picked out three dresses to try on. They also picked out three more similar styles by different designers. After trying on all six dresses (just to be sure), I knew I wanted to go with the second option. The checkout process went smoothly and I ended up getting a matching veil as well. For my second appointment, when I tried on my dress it was a little tighter than I would have liked. They referred me to an alterations place and they were able to let out the dress just enough so it fit perfectly for the wedding.
After a full day of bridal shop hopping with 6 lady friends this was our last stop. The amazing thing is I had appointments at the other places and felt not prepared for me so when we called Bella Saison last minute and let us come in on a same day book and made me feel special was a true breath of fresh air. I had so many options I loved them all. I found my dress on the third try and it truly was my dream dress ! Not to mention great price and you get a bottle of champagne!
I ordered my dress this past weekend and Ms Faith did a wonderful job at helping me make my decision. This was my first and only bridal store and I was eager to find a dress. She was really patient with me because I didn’t realize I lasted two hours at that store. When I went through numerous dresses all different types and when she picked the one I eventually chose she let me keep it on with no rush until I was ready to take it off. I had so much fun with her! Thumbs up to faith!
Beautiful selection and Sarah was helpful without being pushy. They even gift you a bottle of bubbly when you say yes to the dress!!
I worked with Amy to find my perfect dress. She listened to what I wanted but also pulled dresses that she knew would look good on my figure. She was very helpful. The price was reasonable for the dress. I loved the little boutique. I had trouble finding dresses with straps and they seemed to have a lot of everything in a reasonable price range. They also helped recommend a tailor for alterations. I paid a little extra and they stored my dress, took it to and from the tailor, steamed it the week of the wedding, and preserved it after the big day. I also got my bridesmaid dresses here. The dresses were gorgeous and fit everyone well. Plus, they give a discount if you got your dress there too. With the discount the price was the same as David's Bridal plus had a much better fit and better quality material.
I had a great experience finding my dress at Belle Saison back in November of last year. I almost cancelled my appointment at Belle Saison because I had already tried 4 or 5 other places that weekend and was tired of looking. I am so glad I decided to go instead! I was helped by Brittany and she steered me toward several options (and eventually, "the dress!"). Brittany was great at only showing you dresses within your budget and was never pushy. The first time I went into Belle Saison I actually went by myself, so Brittany was very helpful in providing feedback on the dresses and I was able to narrow it down before I came back with my mom. Some may be put off by the fact that Belle Saison does not have an in-house seamstress like many other bridal boutiques do. However, I came to realize why this is actually a plus. My particular dress (a Maggie Sottero) came in both a "long" length and a "short" length. So I was actually able to order the short length and not have to have any alterations on the length of the dress (which can run you several hundred dollars). I was never offered the option to purchase a "short" length dress at any other boutique, so part of me thinks the other boutiques only offer one length for a dress so that people will spend money having it altered by their in-house seamstresses. Plus Belle Saison recommended an outside seamstress who did a wonderful job on my dress!
I found the dress of my dreams at Belle Saison Bridal! I went to 5 different stores around Austin area and found the perfect dress here. I'm petite, so I had a very difficult time finding gowns. I am only 5'2 ft. The lace all over the dress has a unique pattern which would've been ruinned if the dress was cut straight across. However, Belle Saison was able to order my dress with specific measurements for my height! How awesome is that?! The dress arrived few months after and it was absolutely stunning. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience at the store. I decided not to do alterations with the recommended seamstress given mixed opinions on reviews. I went to an independent seamstress, one of the best in the area - Victoria McLane (512-665-4674). I highly recommend her!!!
DO NOT BUY BRIDESMAID DRESSES FROM HERE.
My wedding is a couple months away, and my bridesmaids are now stuck with huge dresses that will need excessive alterations. When I addressed Belle Saison with the issue, the response I received basically told me that I was out of luck and there was absolutely nothing they could do to fix this. No exchanges, returns, or help with alterations.
My consultant had told me that the Bill Levkoff dresses run a couple sizes small, she even made me change a couple dresses to a larger size. Once we got the dresses, every single one of them was significantly larger. The very smallest size ordered will have to be taken in, and my bridesmaid that ordered this size has a large chest area. The Bill Levkoff size chart has given many people problems (look on any wedding forum) and they notoriously run large.
I trusted my consultants advice, got completely inaccurate info, and now have a stressful situation before my wedding that they will not attempt to make right. Very disappointing.
I had a great experience at Belle Saison! I went to this shop because they had a designer that I absolutely loved. I went to one other shop prior and actually thought I found "the dress", but it wasn't my favorite Pinterest pin (which was at Belle Saison). I tried on the dress that I've been eyeing for months and was a little disappointed that I didn't have that moment. However the girl that was helping me (I forget her name) asked me what was missing about the dress. I told her and she said "I have one more I'd like you to try on". I tried on her suggestion, which was a mix between the dress from the other shop and my Pinterest dream dress, and didn't want to take it off! I'm so grateful that the staff know their inventory like the back of their hand or I would have missed out on my perfect dress! I absolutely recommend going here while dress shopping!
I bought my dress here for my wedding in February. I am so happy I chose this dress shop. I had waited too late to order a dress and the staff here went above and beyond to help me get the perfect dress in time for my wedding. They were so flexible with making time to meet with me even though I was completely clueless about the dress buying process. I was very impressed with the wide range of styles and price points this shop offers.
I can't speak enough about the great experience I had here! Beautiful dresses in general, and a larger selection of plus-size dresses than I have seen at most major chains. I came in with very little idea of what I wanted, and my consultant, Faith, was patient as I tried on pretty much every variety of gown that exists in the world. I found a vintage-inspired A-line gown that I loved, but Faith put the icing on the cake when she paired the dress with a stunning lace jacket. I came in 2 more times after that to be SURE that this was my dress, and each time the staff was happy to help. I suggest buying their dress care package, as well - they steamed the dress for me before my bridals and before the wedding, transported my dress to and from the alterations location, and sent the dress off for preservation. A great local Austin shop for any bride!!
Belle Saison was amazing. I truly could not have asked for a more fantastic experience. I was nervous, I'm sure normally so, to search for such an important dress. I can be very self critical and also terrible committing to decisions. Everyone at Belle Saison made my experience flawless and smooth. With just a few words, my attendant was able to find EXACTLY what I had always dreamed of and envisioned. It was all around a great experience. Pricing was reasonable and they give great deals and specials. Customer service from the owner down to the greeter was perfection.greetegreetperfection. I
When I walked into my appointment at Belle Saison, I was completely blown away by their selection! Brittany listened to what I liked, looked at a few photos that I showed her, and had an immediate sense of what I was looking for. The third or fourth dress I tried on ended up being the one I chose! I went back and purchased it the next day! I appreciated Brittany's honesty and she is very talented at being able to help a bride choose the right dress! I am also very impressed with how my gown preservation turned out, so I definitely recommend using that service as well! The only aspect I recommend against is purchasing the dress care package. The only alterations service that comes with the dress package is through Nelda's Tailors, and I had a very negative experience with my dress alterations. I can't speak for the other alterations services that Belle Saison recommends, but I suggest trying a different place or finding your own place. But overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about Belle Saison!
I bought my dress from Belle Saison and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. It was the very first place I went to look and ended up purchasing the very first dress I tried on. The staff were all so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. I purchased the dress care package through them as well, which I highly recommend. I loved working with this Bridal Saloon and would recommend anyone who is looking, stop by Belle Saison!
I had a pretty good experience with Belle Saison. I got lucky and loved the first dress I tried on. I tried on several others for my mom and friends. They have a huge selection to choose from and have options to store your dress as well. My friend also purchased her wedding dress from Belle Saison!
Belle Saison had a wide variety of dresses to choose from with reasonable prices. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on. The staff was very helpful and kind. I highly recommend them!
I had a great experience at Belle Saison Bridal and Amy. I didn't end up buying my dress here but I still wanted to write a review because of the fabulous customer service. I will definitely be coming back to shop for accessories.
Without going into great detail. I definitely did not get the warm and fuzzies when I went into this salon. I was greeted but no one seemed that happy. I know time is important in a place like that at this time of year but I fely rushed from the second I walked in. I was asked what style I was looking for but when I said I wanted to try on a few styles it was like I was being silly... The girl who I was working with ended up picking out a dress that was perfect for me and she chose accessories that went with it too but there wasn't a lot of talking, she was sweet but not what I would call friendly. She didn't interact with my family at all. There was no unfriendliness just nothing that made me feel special. I ended up buying my dress and accessories while I was there and I'm completely happy with my choice but the whole experience was like 40minutes long (finding dresses, trying them on, measurements, paying...). I feel like you should have an experience, a great one, doing something like choosing a wedding dress. Many of us only get to do it once and it should feel special!
My mom and I went to several different bridal stores to find my dress. I actually found my dress at a salon in Boston, but was able to order it here in Austin. Yanna was so sweet and very helpful. Everyone is very helpful and nice.
I HIGHLY recommend Belle Saison to any bride who is looking for the perfect dress and the best customer service! On the morning of my appointment, Belle Saison was extremely accommodating to my unexpected circumstances. My mother and I had a flat tire before embarking on our two-hour drive to the salon, which caused us to be over 30 minutes late to my appointment. My consultant, Brittany, went above and beyond to rearrange her schedule to accommodate me! She worked tirelessly with me for NEARLY 3 HOURS to find the dress of my dreams! Brittany's level of patience and devotion to her work is unsurpassed. She truly is passionate about helping brides find the perfect dress. Brittany listened to my likes and dislikes, and patiently guided me to find the dress which was an exact match to my preferences. The salon has a HUGE SELECTION of high quality, yet affordable bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Thanks to Brittany, I know I will feel like a princess on my wedding day in my beautiful Madeline Gardner gown from Belle Saison!
I purchased my wedding gown from Belle Saison after visiting a few other bridal salons in Austin, TX. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcome and comfortable and the person helping me focused their complete attention on me and helping me find the dress of my dreams. Jessica was honest and kind in her dress suggestions. I recommend getting the dress care package to ensure your dress stays clean and beautiful throughout the bridal portrait, wedding, and preservation process.
I highly recommend this store to brides! This was the very first store I went to and is where I ended up buying my dress. Faith, my consultant, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. There is an excellent selection here and it appeared they had dresses of all styles. My style was ballroom and I believe what they call mermaid/low drop waist. Tight up top and then puffs out above the knee with ruffles. I had an excellent selection to choose from in my price range. I was not wanting to spend more than 2k on a dress and thought that would be difficult. Turns out a lot of stores in Austin have an excellent selection from $1,200-$1,800.
The salon is extremely clean and organized. One of the things I loved most about this salon was the set up. Each bride gets a dressing room and stage with chairs for their family and friends to sit. Having our own area to look at dresses and discuss them was amazing. Some of the other stores we went to were very crowded with a row of dressing rooms and one giant mirror for all the brides to funnel to and look at themselves in. It made us appreciate this set up a lot.
I absolutely would not recommend Belle Saison to any bride I know. My experience was incredibly unpleasant. I had an appointment for a Saturday afternoon right after lunch. I arrived 20 minutes or so early because we finished lunch a little early. I understood I would not be helped right away as my consultant was still with a previous appointment. They said my party and I could look around to get a feel of the dress styles so I could tell my consultant. Once my appointment time came, the consultant was still not available. The woman at the front desk that greeted me then gave me a handful of ribbons to place on the hangers of dresses I wanted to try on, so my party and I went through the store and picked 4 dresses I wanted to try on. The consultant finally came over, gathered the dresses, put them in the dressing room, had me undress and then decided that would be a good time to tell me the only dresses I could actually try on were 40 (give or take some) dresses along a front wall because I am a size 10 in bridal (my normal dress size is 6/8). She tried to explain they had all the dresses that I originally picked in larger sample sizes, which was a lie. She walked me up and down the wall twice and there was not one dress out of the 4 I previously picked that I could actually try on. The consultant provided no guidance whatsoever. I was basically my own consultant. My consultant did not seem to have any "expert" knowledge of the bridal industry on the gowns she was attempting to show me. I don't know how long she has been as BSB, but she did mention she had another (completely unrelated) career prior to working at BSB. The store is general was also dirty and dingy. For claiming they are one of the best bridal salons in Austin, the condition of their store does not come close to portraying that. Every single shoe on display had visible dirt parks in the shape of a foot.
If you're looking for a true bridal gown shopping experience where your consultant has vast knowledge of the designers, dresses, etc., Belle Saison Bridal is not the boutique for you. I'm thankful I had an appointment prior to my appointment as BSB or I would have been completely discouraged to go to any other salon in fear of receiving the same poor service.
I checked several bridal shops in and around Austin before I came across Belle Saison. Once here, I knew this was it. I had the "know it when you see it" found the dress moment.
Yanna was attentive and knowledgeable. I knew the dress I had in mind, but was open to anything she suggested. I'm glad I was. She suggested the dress!
Not only did I end up getting my dress, but Yanna was so good, I ended up buying all of the bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid dresses from Belle Saison also. The discounts could not be beat.
I purchased my wedding dress as well as my bridesmaid dresses from Belle Saison. Brittany helped me with both and she was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about all the designers and styles and she made me feel great about my decisions. The store itself has a great selection of dresses that range in style and price and I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
I got my wedding gown here. I found the allure bridal dress online and I couldn't find any stores that had it in stock. Finally my mom found it online at this store. Since it was a previous season's dress, it was half off! The saleswoman was great and super helpful. I would recommend this store.
I tried on several wedding dresses at multiple places in Austin, but found the most amazing dress for me at Belle Saison. They have a really good variety of styles to choose from and the staff are all very friendly. I was very lucky that Brittany helped me, because she is absolutely wonderful! Not only did she help me find the perfect dress, but she put me first and was really good at dealing with the ladies that I brought with me too. Dress shopping was stressful for me, but she helped put me at ease and I had a really great experience with her. I cannot praise Brittany enough!
After searching for my wedding dress back in Columbus with my family and friends and feeling very pressured by the store and not having a good experience I came back to Austin and came to Belle Saison. Wow what an amazing experience! It was everything I expected shopping for my dress to be. Not only was the experience betters but the price was a lot better then what the same dress was going to cost me at the other store. I would highly recommend them to any girl shopping for her wedding dress in Austin Texas!!
Brittany is amazing!!! She is the best sales person at Belle Saison!!! I can honestly say if it wasn't for her I would have never found the perfect wedding dress for me. She knew exactly what she was doing and knew what style would fit my figure the best. She remained patient and friendly during all the dresses I tried on and then right when I was starting to get down because I felt like a cupcake in everything she brought in a dress completely different than anything I had been looking for. I was so glad I had her to help me because she knew what was the best fit for me and sure enough the dress she picked was the one I wore on my wedding day. She is excellent at her job and is so friendly you feel like you have been friends for years.
This is a great store! The employees are super helpful and provide excellent customer service. I would highly recommend!
I have to start out by saying that I am not the type of girl that looks forward to dress shopping... all of that white just freaks me out! Haha
I had 4 visits to Belle Saison with Kat Williams and she totally made this experience enjoyable. She dealt with me trying on the same dress 3 times and finding something new to try on almost every time. She offered her input but wasn't too pushy (like sales people at other big name bridal stores.) Even though I won a giveaway and a portion of my dress cost was donated by Belle Saison, Kat always gave me the attention that a full paying customer would receive.
I was especially impressed when I returned almost 5 months later, Kat remembered me, my mother in law and some random issues I was having associated to the wedding. The customer service is top notch!
Their prices are reasonable, they carry well known name dresses, but not a huge array of sizes (only reason for not having a 5 star review)
I would definitely recommend Belle Saison (and Kat) to anyone in the market for a wedding dress!
I had a great experience with Belle Saison. The shop was recommended to me by a facebook friend after I asked for suggestions. I am so glad I made the appointment. Brittney was my consultant and she was great. She made me feel beautiful and was great for getting me in a bunch of styles I hadn't thought of. I did end up getting a dress that was almost exactly what I had been dreaming of in my head. They were even able to recommend a seamstress that could make my alterations for a very good price. I only really needed the length adjusted and some minor things here and there. They had a great deal going to store my dress, press/steam it before events and heirloom it after. I cannot say one bad thing about Belle Saison. They were extremely easy to work with and made the process as easy as it can be!
When I set out to find a dress for my wedding, I wanted to keep my purchase below $1500. I began looking around local bridal shops and chain stores and realized that being a plus sized woman wasn’t super conducive to trying on bridal gowns. Most local bridal shops carry ZERO plus size samples. I wasn’t super keen on buying a dress without even putting it on my body and getting an idea of what it will look like. Many places tried to talk me into just “imagining what it would look like.” A woman who helped me at Alfred Angelo refused to pull some dresses for me (even when the samples were close to my size and I could try them on) because she thought and told me they wouldn’t look good on me. David’s Bridal was one of the only places that carried more samples. I found a few I liked there, but I was hoping to have more choices. I saw that Belle Saison carried a plus size line so I made an appointment. I was able to try on 5-6 dresses that I liked and Jessica, the woman who helped me, was super friendly and made the experience fun. I ended up buying an Allure gown (one that Jessica grabbed for me and I probably would’ve never picked out myself, but it ended up being my favorite!) there and felt like a pretty princess on my wedding day. I didn’t feel like less of a bride because I’m a size 20, not a 2, my dress was super flattering, they made me feel very comfortable, and I stayed within my budget! She never pressured me to look at anything beyond what I wanted to spend. They do not do on-site alterations, but they had quite a few recommendations of where I could go. They also offered other discounts to local vendors after my purchase and a discount for me to buy accessories and bridesmaid gowns, if I so chose. I would definitely recommend them to other brides!
After going to 4 different area wedding shops and trying on WAY too many dresses, Belle Saison seemed to be a little different. They were very helpful in picking out dresses and different options and I ultimately found the dress that was perfect for me. I am super picky and redesigned everything, but they were able to find something that fit the majority of what I wanted. They didn't give up on looking and allowing me to continue to try things on. The other stores seemed pressed for time and rushing to get me out. I was worried about the timeline and getting it on time but it came in even a little earlier than they anticipated so I was able to get it altered and bridal portraits done in time. I also took advantage of the deal where they drive your dress to and from the alterations and steam it and perserve it afterwards. It all worked out perfectly and everyone commented on how beautiful the dress was. I was definitely happy with it after much frustration with choosing in the beginning of my searching.
The women who work here are lovely. They have a positive attitude and are determined to help you find a dress you love. Honest opinions are given, and if you tell them it's not your favorite, not a problem, we will find one.
The salon had a great selection of gowns from multiple designers. All of the salespeople were very friendly and accommodating. My gown came in right on time. They don't do alterations in house, but the woman they recommended did an amazing job. They will clean and press your gown, but those prices are kind of high.
My experience with Belle Saison was great. I had heard mixed reviews about the place and was fairly doubtful about shopping there, but I everything worked all wonderfully. My dress was perfect and the staff worked with me to make sure that was the correct dress for me. The value ranges to please different price points. You will definitely get a quality gown from this place and great service. Best wishes!
I don't know if Belle Saison Bridal was having an off day, but I did not have a good experience at this bridal salon. Seeing that they carried Allure and Maggie Sottero, I was excited to visit the salon because those were my two favorite designers.
I went shopping with my mom and one of my bridesmaids, and the consultant did not ask for their names or introduce herself to them. She quickly flipped through the wedding dress images that I brought with, and sent us to the racks. She didn't ask my size or even what I was looking for (she didn't even ask my budget until almost the end of my appointment, which is a huge no no). After picking several dresses myself, we went into the changing room and started trying on dresses. A lot of the sample sizes on the floor ran in a size 10 or below. This was disappointing because I'm a tall girl and a size 14, so many of the dresses I loved in pictures, I couldn't even try on. When we came to the first dress that was too small, even after saying I don't think this will fit, the consultant continued to tug on the dress trying to make it work, and I got stuck in it. I was so humiliated, and my self confidence dropped to the floor. Finally I was able to wiggle out with her help, but it was tough trying to continue on with the appointment after that. She pulled some plus size dresses next, which was completely fine with me, but after making it clear I didn't like the mermaid shape she continued to pull them. After pulling a couple more dresses that she thought were my style she said, "that's all we have for you here." I left feeling disgusted with myself and completely disheartened about going out dress shopping again. The consultant was very nice, but she did not listen to what I liked in silhouettes, and she definitely did not ask the questions that should be standard right from the bat of any bridal appointment.
I am happy to say that I had a wonderful experience at another bridal salon, and purchased a beautiful Maggie Sottero dress. I don't know that my experience with Belle Saison Bridal is typical (it got good reviews on The Knot), but it definitely was not what I was expecting.
Belle Saison Bridal was the first and only bridal shop I went to. They were the only store who carried dresses by both designers I wanted to try, and their selection was enormous. Brittany was SO helpful, and extremely knowledgable. She picked out THE dress once she saw my tastes, and I couldn't be happier! My dress came in a month earlier than the expected delivery date, and she was there to help me try it on and to discuss the minimal alterations needed. I never once felt rushed or pressured. I would highly recommend them!
Friendly staff (depending who you get) - very satisfied. Owner is a bit of a stingy person, seemed to not treat her staff well sadly.
I went to a couple of the cute little boutique stores to look for dresses before I went to Belle Saison. In each of the little stores, I had to make an appointment just to even get a glance at the dresses, and once I came for the appointment, the selections were so small! At one place where I was given 6 tags to pick dresses to try on, the girl helping me wouldn't even lace up the corset all the way and asked me "Are you sure you want to try this on?" on the second corset style dress I wanted to try on. I was so put off, I didn't bother to try it on. We went to Belle Saison.. walked in, with no appointment, and found their huge selection of dresses full of promising dresses. Not only that, but the girls there was so helpful, never once complained about the styles of dresses I was trying on, and were quick to grab more dresses for me try on. My experience there was perfect, and I would recommend anybody go there if you want a hassle-free visit to see a lot of dresses.
Tons of options! ask for Leah!
