While their team of bridal specialists are nice and friendly, the owner of this store needs to take accountability for the poor communication regarding their move from Bellevue to Seattle (They also changed their name to Luxe and Lace Bridal). I would strongly avoid any future brides going here unless there is a change in ownership and a revamp of how they communicate to their brides on delivery statuses for their dress & accessories.
Finding a dress is a stressful experience and I found Bellevue Bridal when I was looking for a specific designer. Luckily they were located right across the street from my job making it extremely convenient for me. I went alone to try on dresses and the assistant made me feel like the center of attention, ultimately pulling my dress based on what I told her I was looking for. It was a final-sale, prior season dress that I fell in love with! Because I was alone that day I did decide to leave and think about it a bit more after talking with friends/family. I could not stop thinking about my dress and returned to the shop the following day to purchase it. Took it home with me that day and it was within my $2k budget. Fast-forward to 8 months later and I returned to have my alterations done in-house with their seamstress. Unfortunately I had gained weight and we needed to do some structural work to my dress in order to make it fit. She was able to add a corset, hem the length, add a bustle and even alter a family-heirloom veil for me. All of the work turned out beautifully, which was such a relief based on my anxiety leading up to the big day. Having that dress altered to fit me, despite my weight gain was a huge stressor and albeit the alterations were only finished a week before the big day, in the end it all worked out.
** NIGHTMARE at Embrace Bridal**
I had an excellent experience at Embrace Bridal in October 2023 while initially finding my wedding dress. However, things took a disastrous turn shortly thereafter. I was promised my dress would arrive in April or May for my October 2024 destination wedding. As the months passed with no updates, I began calling. I was informed that the manufacturer was delayed, but that I would receive my dress on time. When I still hadn't heard anything by July, I tried reaching out again, only to discover the associate was out and no one was monitoring voicemails.
Frustrated, I contacted their sister store, Bellevue Bridal for answers, and after several attempts, I finally spoke with the owner, Katelyn. Instead of being helpful, she was defensive and dismissive, making excuses instead of addressing my concerns. She even criticized her own staff rather than taking responsibility for the situation. As a manager myself, I found her behavior shocking. With only ten weeks to go and no dress in sight, I had to escalate the situation to my credit card company to dispute the nearly $2,700 charge.
Eventually, I found a dress at another bridal shop that was not only beautiful but also cost a third of what I had originally paid. Katelyn even lied to my credit card company about our interactions, claiming I harassed her, which I could easily disprove with my call logs and emails. Thankfully, I received a full refund.
This experience added immense stress to what should have been a joyful time in my life. I sincerely hope no other bride has to endure this. Katelyn's lack of accountability and poor business practices are concerning, and I urge others to look elsewhere.

I had a really wonderful experience dress shopping at Bellevue Bridal!
They had such a beautiful selection of dresses, veils, and accessories-in all different styles, sizes, and shades-that the hardest thing about shopping with them was deciding what dress to say yes to.
My bridal consultant Brie was so sweet and awesome to work with! She made me feel so comfortable in such an intimate setting. She pulled all different styles based off what I was saying I liked and didn't like during each dress fitting. She helped me choose the perfect dress and veil.
They have an off the rack section, which I was not aware of prior to getting to the store, but it was a pleasant surprise. The consultants really work between the showroom dresses and off the rack dresses to really help you stick within your dress budget.
I splurged and did the "Bridal experience", which came with champagne and a Bride swag bag, which made the experience so much more fun!
They also have a seamstress on site, who I also used. We had some slight hiccoughs with my alterations because the initial seamstress that pinned my dress and did my inital consult ended up not being the one who did my alterations (for medical reasons I believe). They made it an easy fix and my alterations ended up looking beautiful.
I found my dream dress her. The staff helped make the process so much easier. I was able to have my mom, all sisters and MOH, which made my experience that much better. When it came to alterations Julie was amazing, the turnaround time was quick and she was very thorough in making sure it was perfect to my liking.
Loved my experience with Bellevue Bridal! I found my dream dress, earrings, and hair piece there. The team is so friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The alterations process was really easy and Julie is lovely to work with. I cannot recommend them enough!
Loved the stylist who helped me. My dress was beautiful, my veil was beautiful, my tiara was beautiful, and Julie (alterations) was amazing! My only complaint is that the customer service isn’t always the best at the front desk. However, its still a great bridal dress salon with lots to choose from!
The team at Bellevue Bridal is so warm and knowledgeable! They made me feel so comfortable during the entire dress-finding process. Even during alterations, I felt like they were always there for me and I could ask them questions whenever they came up.
After shopping at about 5 other stores I finally found my dream dress at Bellevue Bridal. I made 2 shopping appointments here and both times the assistants were so patient with me and not pushy when I tried my dress on 3 times, and offered so much support when I came dress shopping by myself. After ordering my dress, it arrived at the shop within the window they estimated. The woman who did my alterations was so nice and did witchcraft getting my dress to be formfitting without being too tight.
Had the perfect experience at Bellevue Bridal- my consultant really listened to what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable. She picked out the one I ended up wearing! Alterations were high quality and very fast. Love them!
The staff went above and beyond to make sure I got the veil I wanted in the middle of covid-19. I’m very appreciative of all their help.
I went to Bellevue my second time around after a previous outing where I didnt love anything. I had narrowed down my preferences and went to Bellevue with the hopes of finding “the” dress. As a size 18, I only had a few options to try on in my size. That’s disappointing, but I understand not being able to have sample sizes available for every size. I like one and loved another but it didn’t fit all the way, needed just a little more give in the chest and hips. The third one I died for but the largest they had to try on was a 10 so she had to pin it to me. While this was better than not trying it on, I didn’t want to buy a dress without trying it on for comfort - I need to be able to dance and sit down at the wedding, but I never expressed that to the woman at Bellevue. So she told me my options were that they would call designers to see if they had other sample sizes that I could pay $100 to have them ship to Bellevue for me to try on - perfect!! I asked about other retailers that carried the designers and confirmed with her she would reach out as some of their partners may have access to samples in my size. I understood if other retailers had it they could also ship to Bellevue for a cost.
Told me she would call next day. Long story short I receive a few emails over the course of the next few days pretty much telling me it’s a no go. I wrote back asking about others who also carry the designer and (jokingly) asked if I should contact them and she replied that I should. Confused, I asked her if she was actually telling me to take my business elsewhere, and she was!
She didn’t even ask me if I wanted to purchase one of the dresses I loved, offered zero help with other options (I figured she would at least mention a seamstress being able to alter the dress if it came in and I needed parts fixed!), and never once asked what I wanted to do next since they couldn’t find my size.
The lack of communication, resistance to help and doing the absolutely bare minimum for customer service was extremely disappointing to say the least. Especially because I had such a great experience in there trying on the dresses.
If you don’t fit into sample sizes, they will not provide you with customer service to find other options. Huge huge let down.
Great selection of dresses, fantastic staff. Julie, the seamstress, is amazing! I loved working with her.
This is the bridal shop that I tried my first dresses on. They have beautiful selections, are very accommodating, and have a lovely shop! If you can, request Stephanie! She was so helpful and I felt very comfortable with her! I came back about 5 times to come see her and try on new dresses, since they seem to get new selections quite often, and she was always happy to see me and willing to work with me. As much as I wanted to find "the one" from this boutique, unfortunately, I just couldn't "feel" it in any of them and I was running out of time to decide. But considering how much they have to chose from, it's not hard to find amazing choices. I really wanted to find one from here because I just loved Stephanie and wanted to give her my business, especially after seeing her so many times. That is why I am writing this review. This place is absolutely great, is a great place to start looking, they have high quality selections, and a lot of their stuff is affordable! I definitely recommend checking them out!
I had an AMAZING experience at this shop. It was well organized, the stylist listened to everything I had in mind, and ended up pulling me the perfect dress. I am from Alaska, and the shop is working with me to get alterations and shipping done at a convenience to me. I HIGHLY recommend this shop. I found my perfect dress and had an amazing experience working with the staff.
The team was amazing. I found the perfect dress. They made sure I was able to try on every dress I wanted. I came back in last minuet to try on my dream dress and they made sure I was accommodated. I had my whole bridal party and mother’s come to see the dress when it came in and they made sure space was reserved and we had champagne and felt comfortable. All their dresses are gorgeous. They also made sure to get my fittings in on their limited weekends due to my having to travel. But all the alterations came out great.
The attendants were wonderful in helping me pick out my wedding dress. They took my likes/dislikes and picked out a beautiful dress for me! Julie, the seamstress, was so wonderful! She new exactly what I wanted/needed and was willing to work with me to make the dress fit me like a glove.
They had an amazing variety. Tons of sparkle/beading. The staff really cared. They had high quality clips to help really visualize how the dress would look. Had a variety of size and dresses- with a lot of ballgowns which is what I wanted.
I purchased my wedding dress here and they could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Throughout the whole alterations process, I felt great and they were so quick!
I LOVED this bridal boutique. They truly care about their customers and spend all the time you need to make sure your dream dress is absoluteltly perfect! I'd recommend this store to anyone!
The bridal boutique often have sales on random days so if you're lucky, you might catch one of them. I was able to save on tax on my dress and it was great because when it comes to wedding costs, it all adds up!
The staff there were nice for the most part. I ended up finding accessories elsewhere and brought them in to try on during my gown fittings. I wasn't sure if the staff there was happy with that since I didn't purchase the accessories from their store but having the accessories during those multiple gown fittings really helped put together my final look.
Julie, the seamstress, was amazing! She is so talented and kind. She helped me with all of the small details that made a huge difference. She is truly the best!!!!
The ladies here are exceptionally helpful and encouraging during the selection process. I chose this location because they were having a trunk show for my favorite designer, and I managed to snag the last appt available. I was new to the area, and was so fortunate it worked out the way it did! The associates are very positive, and willing to help with whatever you need. They are even flexible if you want to head in to try on your dress with your accessories, before your big day. I had the alterations done onsite, and the seamstress came up with the idea to save the extra lace (from the hem) when she found out we were making hair pieces for the Flower Girl and Jr. Bridesmaids. I was able to give my nieces hand-made hair clips (with the matching lace), and hopefully they will be able to use them as their 'something old' one day. Highly recommend this boutique if you want the right dress for the right price, and minimal stress during the best part of your planning process.
I recommend Bellevue Bridal and above all their tailor Julie.
I purchased my wedding dress from Bellevue Bridal for my October 2017 wedding. The dress I decided on was affordable and perfect for the occasion. I was able to schedule fittings around my busy work schedule, on weekday nights. The tailor, Julie, did an amazing job. I lost 40 lbs. from the time of purchasing the dress to the day of my wedding, and Julie was able to take the dress in 3 sizes. The dress fit perfectly on the day of the wedding.
Went in this weekend and found my perfect dress! I tried on probably about 30 dresses at other stores and it was the only place I had difficulty choosing between a couple. It was nice that they had a huge variety of dresses and, even some of my favorites from another store so I could try them. Some of the same dresses were even at a better price. I felt super comfortable with my consultant. She explained the fit of each dress and why it looked good on me and how it pulled out certain features I wanted to get out of a dress. I felt super special when the owner came out and said hello! Super sweet. Definitely the best experience I had at the other bridal shops I went to. Amazing selection and there's probably 200 dresses! If you want to find your perfect dress come here
I'm a perfectionist and was worried about buying a dress. And then I went to Bellevue Bridal and had the perfect experience! Not only was Bellevue Bridal the first store I went to, but I bought the 2nd dress I tried on! The staff there is so friendly and accommodating, and they work incredibly hard to help you find the dress of your dreams. They are so professional, easily scheduling and changing appointments for you and making sure everything is ready when you need it. I came back for several fittings and they always made sure everything was just perfect. My dress was gorgeous AND on sale! I got many compliments (which is probably normal for a wedding dress) but I loved that the seamstress and sales associates helped me customize my dress with added lace and accessories to make it unique to me. It was such a fantastic experience, I wish I had an excuse to go back!! Highly recommended!
Amazing! I chose the dresses I thought would look good on me- however, I did not fall in love with any of them. The women who work at Bellevue Bridal then decided to pull dresses they thought would look fabulous on me and they found the most stunning and perfect dress for me! Trust these ladies- they know what they are doing. Try on a few dresses they choose for you
I had a great experience here. It was my third bridal salon and the first one where they offered different sizes. It was hard to envision what the dress would truly look like when other salons only offered size 2 samples. Dana my consultant also didn't sit in the room with me while I was changing and allowed for privacy. She would have me notify her when it was time to button or zip up the dresses. I loved my dress!
Dana is absolutely amazing! She goes out of her way to make sure you have the best experience! I cannot thank her enough for how amazing it was! She even went out of her way so I could pick up my dress when it worked for me! If you are looking for a dress Bellevue Bridal is the place. Julie is amazing with alterations!
All I can say is, wow! The wonderful ladies at Bellevue Bridal helped me on short notice after Alfred Angelo went out of business suddenly. Their service was excellent and I couldn't be more pleased. I was crying happy tears as we were leaving. Great place and I highly recommend them!!
Bellevue Bridal Boutique took care of me after a failed online wedding dress purchase. With less than three months until my wedding, they pulled together over a dozen dresses in my desired style (sleeved and trumpet) that were sure to be ready in time. There was one dress that was not in my desired style (strapless but fit my personality) that my stylist insisted I try because it had the structure and simplicity that I was missing from all of the others. As soon as I tried it on, I fell in love. To me, this is a sign of a seasoned professional who listens, and presents at the right moment. She also helped me get creative to find a bolero to cover my arms (I had chosen only sleeved dresses because I am self conscious of my arms) by helping me try on a beaded top, which was attached to another dress. I ultimately purchased the bolero from Etsy, but it was that creative thinking that helped me find the perfect unique, one-of-a-kind look that I was hoping for. I was very impressed! The dress was from Essenes of Australia; a crepe material in ivory, sheath shape, strapless with a sweetheart neckline. I purchased a fingertip blusher veil with crystal embellishment as well. All for about $2000. Everything came together perfectly thanks to the seamstress' expert altering skills. My guests described my overall look as breathtaking. :)
The girls at Bellevue Bridal have been amazing since I made my appointment to try on dresses there. I got all of my alterations done there as well and everyone was so nice and accommodating every time I was there.
Everyone here was super sweet and very helpful to me. They helped me find the perfect wedding dress! Their in-house tailor was also incredibly friendly and skillful. I also went through Bellevue Bridal for my bridesmaid's dresses. (Note: Out of my five bridesmaids, three of them had to have extensive alterations to their dresses. It seemed like they weren't measured properly by the staff here. It made for quite the headache and cash loss later).
I was super impressed with the staff, services, and selection of dresses!
Bellevue Bridal is amazing! I had the best time trying on dresses as my sister and my mom looked on. The staff was super patient with me as I was extremely indecisive and kept going back and forth between a few dresses. When I finally chose the perfect dress, they were so accommodating and altered it perfectly! The alterations even stayed late one night to finish my dress because it was so hard to find an appointment time with my work schedule! When all was said and done, I felt like a princess on my big day. :) Would highly recommend!
I was very happy with Bellevue Bridal from dress shopping to alterations they were easy to make appointments with and really happy with the dress I purchased. The dress prices seemed very reasonable; mine was well under what I was expecting to have to spend and they even had a sale when I shopped. The woman that did my alterations was great. She had me come back for additional fittings after she tacked hems and the fit in place, before final stitching was done. She customized my bustle to match the look I wanted, which was very nice. They also steamed my dress/veil and a couple of my bridesmaids dresses so we were all ready to go the day of.
They were amazing! I tried on so many dresses and they were great with helping me narrowing down dresses to get a style that I liked. Once I found my dresses they were great with alterations and other follow up appointments. The staff is extremely nice and were always smiling. I have recommended this place to fellow brides and will continue to do so!
I purchased my dress from Bellevue Bridal Boutique for my August wedding and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I originally called an scheduled an appointment with a different Bridal Salon and something about the interaction I had with them just didn't sit right with me. I did some research and decided to call Bellevue Bridal Boutique and immediately knew that I needed to cancel my other appointment. My experience with them was nothing but amazing from the moment I called them to the moment I picked up my wedding dress. They have so many beautiful dresses and were so helpful in helping me pick out the perfect dress for my day. I highly recommend them to anyone who is getting married and looking for their perfect dress.
I said yes to my dress here in June 2015. I was an out of town bride and they helped with everything along the way. They were so friendly and helpful every time I came into the store. Alterations were amazingly easy because they had her in house. I even needed to schedule one more fitting before my final fitting (on my wedding week!) and they didn't have any openings so they let me come in before they even opened to get me feeling the best about my dress. Thanks again!
Bellevue Bridal has first-rate customer service. I loved my one on one experience. I found the perfect dress during my first session there! You will be assigned a personal consultant who will assist you in coordinating your perfect bridal ensemble from start to finish. Make Bellevue Bridal your first stop!
I highly recommend Bellevue Bridal for your wedding gown shopping! They have a wonderful selection and the prices are reasonable. I had fallen in love with a Stella York gown on my first day of wedding dress shopping at another shop in downtown Seattle. I couldn’t get that gown out of my mind but I did a lot more shopping just to be sure. And of course it was out of my price range. I found the same gown at Bellevue Bridal and it was $500 cheaper! (Admittedly, I bought my gown in November and they do a Black Friday sale all month, but it was still cheaper without the sale). I went with it and was delighted with the gown. Also, everyone I worked with a Bellevue Bridal was an absolute pleasure. I did my alterations there and Juli was fantastic! She worked wonders and was reasonably priced. I can’t express enough what a good experience it was. Highly recommend checking out this shop.
I purchased my wedding dress as well as some jewelry from Bellevue Bridal. The Staff are very friendly and easy to work with and the selection of wedding dresses is great. I found a dress I loved online and it was not available in the store although they carried that designer. The Staff worked with me and the designer in order to obtain a loaner gown for me to try on. They went above and beyond in order to help me find my perfect wedding dress. The alterations process was also easy and very affordable.
Some of my bridesmaids also purchased their dresses through Bellevue Bridal and received a discount because I had purchased my wedding dress through them. In addition, the new location is large and easy to get to with parking available.
I made an appointment last minute on a whim and I am so happy I did. From the moment I walked into the salon I felt welcomed. They have so many designers and styles to choose from. The customer service was absolutely amazing. I found the dress of my dreams! I have told everyone I know that is getting married they must come here. Thank you Bellevue Bridal for the wonderful experience you provided! I am going to feel and look so beautiful on my special day!
I went back to Bellevue Bridal three different times to pick out accessories. I shopped all around Seattle to find the best look for the best prices, and somehow ended up back at BB to get almost every part of my outfit. On my wedding day I realized I had bought my veil, hair piece, necklace, and bracelet from them.
I came to Bellevue Bridal after having a terrible experience with a different bridal salon. I came in not wanting to be there, because I felt so pressured at the other place. But, there was no need for the stress at all here. They made me feel welcome, and if I didn't like the dress, they didn't push it at all. I felt so relaxed and at ease while being here. Once I found my dress, they even stayed after closing to help me get details worked out and make my purchase, as well as discuss other dresses.
It was more laid back of a salon. They helped you put the dresses on and clamp you down, but they were only as involved as you wanted them to be. It was very calming to not have something so special forced down your throat (for lack of better words).
Once I bought my dress in March, I was told that it would be about 6 months before I had gotten my dress. But, they called in early June saying that my dress had gotten in early! Which was wonderful since we decided to get married this September instead of in 2016 like we originally planned.
The seamstress was awesome too! My alterations were significantly less than I had thought they were going to be, and she was willing to help every step of the way. I had lost a significant amount of weight due to health complications, but she managed (and did an amazing job) to take my LACE dress in a significant amount. Where as other salons that I spoke with said that it isn't a guarantee to look good after taking it in that much.
Overall, couldn't have chosen a better salon to purchase the dress of my dreams at!
I found Bellevue Bridal while searching for somewhere that had bridesmaids dress samples that would fit both my local bridesmaids (size 12 and 26). Not only did they have a great selection of bridesmaid dresses--hundreds of them, from all different designers--but they also have in-house alterations! And they organize wedding gowns by style (ruffled skirts, beadwork, lace, short, non-traditional) rather than by designer, which I didn't see anywhere else.
The staff was really great, giving both my bridesmaids lots of personal attention and advice. They even got on the phone with the dress manufacturer to get the hemline lengthened for my very tall maid of honor. And the alterations were incredibly reasonable ($20 for taking in straps, $40 for taking up a hem). They made it easy for me to pay for a portion of each girl's dress, and for my out-of-state bridesmaid to get her dress ordered. They even pressed my out-of-state bridesmaid's dress once she came into town! Definitely worth the trip to the Eastside!
I visited 3 stores in the hunt for my wedding dress; I loved Bellevue Bridal. There dresses were right in my price range and they had many options. I worked with a number of wonderful employees (shout out to Kara!) who were all attentive and helpful in getting mine and my bridesmaids needs met. Julie did incredible work in the alterations on my dress.
If you are looking for your dress, I would definitely start your search off here! they have the nicest consultants that are more than willing to go above and beyond! They were always so friendly when my mom and I came in and it was just a great environment. They were very helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for and was able to pick out the perfect dress along with all of the accessories that went with it!
And the seamstress is fabulous! She is an amazing woman, works magic!! I wouldn't go anywhere else but here to get your dress!
I have recommended Bellevue Bridal to many of my friends already. I had an amazing experience from calling to set my first appointment all the way through to my wedding. The staff is amazing - I worked with Kara and she was a delight! My dress was perfect. They took the time to let me try on so many and when I found the perfect one, they made ordering/fitting/alerations a snap. They have a great selection so what more could you need??
Apparently it was love at first sight! With all the dresses they have in their boutique it was the first dress I touched and grabbed to try on. They had a beautiful variety of dresses to pick from and one on one help. They do perfect alterations and made my strapless dress fit perfectly (I didn't have to pull it up once during my wedding).
Had a great experience here... Need an appointment but they were helpful and yet not pushy. And when I found my same dress online she met me more than halfway on the price! Plus in house seemstress who specializes in wedding dresses for worry free adjustments!
