My stylist, Olivia, was absolutely wonderful. She was so attentive and made me feel truly heard when I shared what I liked and didn’t like. I never felt pressured to make a purchase, but in the end, I did… I said YES to the dress!!!
I’m so glad I did. I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day, I’ve truly never felt more beautiful. :)

ner curated a such a beautiful collection. All the stylists were so attentive and had great ideas for alterations, accessories, and different dresses to try on. I ended up choosing a dress that was a style I didn’t think I would consider because of my stylists recommendations, which ended up being my perfect dress! I absolutely loved my wedding dress shopping experience here!!

ique wedding dresses! Jennifer and her team of bridal associates at Che Bella are truly top-notch and completely took the stress out of wedding dress shopping! She and her associates went above and beyond to create a tailored, thoughtful experience that made me feel so incredibly special!
Jennifer’s bridal boutique is absolutely stunning, and the layout is so thoughtfully designed that you don’t even notice other appointments happening while you’re there. From the moment we walked in, Jennifer and her team made me, my mom, and my sister feel so welcomed and cared for. They created such a warm and intimate environment, making us feel like we were the only ones in the store during my appointment. Before my first appointment, Jennifer went out of her way to personally call me to better understand my vision and style preferences. I really appreciated this extra step, as it made my appointment so efficient and personalized. She had already pulled dresses that perfectly aligned with my vision when I arrived for my first appointment. This made my experience even more meaningful and unforgettable!
I was fortunate enough to work directly with Jennifer during both of my bridal appointments, she is a wealth of knowledge and clearly an expert in the bridal industry. Her background in design and fashion is immediately clear when you start working with her, and she has an amazing eye for what designs and silhouettes work best for each body type. She took extra time to thoughtfully explain the differences between styles, fabrics, and tailoring possibilities, which was invaluable, and something I hadn’t experienced at other bridal shops.
During my experience at Che Bella, I also had the incredible opportunity to work with designer Jude Jowilson, who was in town hosting a trunk show at Che Bella. I received undivided attention from both Jude and Jennifer during my appointment, and their hands-on approach made my experience even more meaningful. Jude is such an incredible wedding designer, and it was so fun watching him and Jennifer ideate on the spot and work creatively on my dress design in real-time. You can genuinely tell they both love what they do. I feel so lucky to have been given that experience.
I am SO excited to continue working with both Jude and Jennifer on building the dress of my dreams – I can’t wait to see how they make my vision come to life. I know it’s going to be just the perfect wedding dress. Che Bella Bridal is so wonderful and definitely a must-visit for any bride beginning her search for a wedding dress!
Che Bella was great. The owner and staff was very knowledgeable, listened to my feedback to better pick dresses, and the mood for my appointment was light, airy and fun. They were...
prepared even before we walked in the door. I bought my dress around 5 months out from our wedding and they got it here in time and it was amazing! I would recommend them to any bride who wants a high quality, fun experience picking out their wedding dress.

d with Natalie at my first appointment, who was great. I got to look at dresses on the floor and try on a bunch of different styles to see what I liked and didn't.
I ended up going to a few other stores, but ultimately returned to Che Bella with my out of town family & friends to finally choose my dress a few months later. Out of all of the places I went, I had the best experience at Che Bella and wanted to return there. I'm happy I did shop around because I knew what I wanted going in and was able to find the perfect dress after only trying on a few.
I kept liking parts of other dresses and was worried that I wouldn't find one with all of the components that I liked, but I did alongside my consultant. Would recommend to anyone to come here in the Twin Cities! A top notch group. They gave some great options for alterations once my dress comes in as well, which was super helpful. Thank you again to everyone at Che Bella for making this a great experience!
Amazing selection of dresses and even better service from staff. This was the first place I went to for dress shopping, and I'm so happy to say it was also THE place where I found ...

h me into a decision. However, Che Bella was so wonderful and made me feel like a priority. I was the only one in the store at the time and felt like a princess. They had a selection of dresses I could not find at other stores, and it seemed like they really valued my input and vision. So happy to be a Che Bella Bride and could not recommend them more!
Will never stop recommending Che Bella to all the brides in my life!! The gals at Che Bella made me feel so special and beautiful every step of the way. In addition, the selection ...

The experience at Che Bella was nothing short of exceptional. The staff took their time with me, ensuring I never felt rushed or pressured. They were incredibly patient, allowing me to try on numerous dresses until I found "the one." Their dedication to my comfort and satisfaction was evident in every interaction.
I highly recommend Che Bella to any bride searching for her perfect gown. This small, women-owned business deserves all the praise for their exceptional service and warm hospitality

vided by Jennifer and her team are what set Che Bella far above the rest. Their commitment to finding you your PERFECT dress is unmatched. Then after finding the wedding dress of my DREAMS, they went above and beyond to help me determine sizing and shipping for my atypical scenario. They are a PLEASURE to work with and so good at what they do. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!

on anywhere in Minnesota. Che Bella requested the dress from the designer so I could try it on—and it was my dress! All the bridal stylists were very welcoming and made me feel beautiful. I would 100% recommend Che Bella as a bridal salon!
I had an amazing experience at Che Bella with Jennifer. I was having trouble deciding on a dress and wanted to stop in to try this dress on for the second time. Jennifer took us in...
with no appointment and made me feel so comfortable and not at all pressured. This environment ultimately led me to deciding on this dress that very day. It was the absolute perfect dress and I felt like it was made for me! I received endless compliments on it throughout the wedding day. Additionally, they have very reasonably priced dresses and I appreciated that we were able to stay within my budget. Highly recommend Che Bella to any bride!
I did really enjoy my appointment here. It’s a smaller shop and not as many options, but it had some good ones. Things seemed decently price. The staff was extremely friendly as we...
ll and overall I had a good time. Although I did not buy a dress from here, one of the dresses was in my top 3. My only thing is they didn’t have many plus size options. I’m a bridal 14 or 16 and they were squeezing me in. They could order in my size, but didn’t have any in stop for me to try. Definitely would recommend this place if you are early in your dress journey.
Che Bella has a great selection of dresses and all of the staff are so sweet and helpful! The shop itself is so cute and has a great ambience. I worked mostly with Christina and sh...
e was so attentive and pulled beautiful dresses that fit exactly what I was looking for. We were also able to look and pull dresses to try, which I really liked, but I ultimately went with the Pronovias Epico that she pulled. She gave great suggestions for accessories and showed how off the shoulder sleeves could be added, which I ended up doing. Her measurements were spot on and all I needed for alterations was a bustle and the added sleeves. I ended up going back to get my veil and had the same great experience as when I was looking at dresses. I can't recommend Che Bella enough!
I was referred to Che Bella by a friend of mine, and I’m so glad I chose to go there! They were an absolute joy to work with. They accompanied me and my three guests very well duri...
ng my appointment. We appreciated the more intimate, not so busy, atmosphere that made the experience so much more enjoyable. The consultant listened to my feedback of what I was envisioning for my dress, and pulled accordingly! I loved my experience working with Che Bella, and would recommend them to anyone!
The thing that sold me on my dress and Che Bella was that Jennifer assured me we could "customize" a dress to exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the process was very disappointi...
ng and I would not recommend customizing a dress with them. The dress took 10 months to make (Jennifer originally stated it would be 4 months) and during that time, I was not able to get any updates from Jennifer - repeated phone calls and messages were never returned or passed off to sales associates without knowledge of the situation. When my dress did finally arrive, it was pretty, but it was not what I envisioned, which was so, so disappointing. Especially since by the time it arrived I didn't have time to find another dress. On top of that, because the dress wasn't what I expected, alterations ended up being 3x what Che Bella suggested they might be, even using one of their preferred alterations people.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying from them if you're going to try to customize your dress.

lmost every dress in the store and came back for several follow up appointments when I couldn't make up my mind. I shopped at a few other main stores in the Twin Cities, but was so impressed with the wide variety of styles that Che Bella has, and being allowed to try on so many of them with restriction really helped me find the right dress. Jennifer's attentive service and incredible knowledge of the industry made my wedding dress shopping experience so fun and peaceful.

ll the dress consultants were so incredibly helpful and worked so fast to get girls in and out of their dresses without making me feel rushed in anyway. I almost didn't try on the dress that I ended up purchasing but one of the consultants gave me a gentle nudge to try it on and I'm so glad that she did! I had a wonderful experience and I am so happy with my dress!
Jennifer is AMAZING. I visited multiple bridal shops in one weekend and Jennifer's 25 years of experience in the bridal gown industry was clearly evident. She was extremely knowled...
geable and so incredibly nice to work with. I wish I could repeat the whole process again it was so much fun. Che Bella itself is warm and inviting and I instantly felt at ease when entering the shop as opposed to other places which felt go-go-go and stressful. At other shops I felt like I just had to get into as many dresses as possible but here at Che Bella I felt welcome to take my time and enjoy the experience and understand for certain if I felt comfortable in each dress. I highly highly recommend this shop.
I found my Pronovias gown at Che Bella in January 2020, receiving it in late July 2020 (given pandemic delays and ultimately wedding postponement to 2021). When dress shopping, I w...
ent with my Mom and myself, and we had the full attention of our sales associate. She was kind and attentive to the styles I liked, did not push, and took perfect measurements (only hemming was needed). Shopping was a wonderful experience! We picked up my gown in August 2020, masks and good precautions in place, equally as exciting and supportive. I was directed to Amy Jane Studio alterations by Che Bella, a one-woman wonder! I loved this store, their selection, and my experience finding a gown. They were respectful of my budget and I'd absolutely recommend them.
For reference, this was the second shop we had gone to during dressing shopping. We started at BHLDN where we established which styles didn't work for me. We had another scheduled for after, though we cancelled the third appointment after success at Che Bella. Dress shopping took us all of 2.5 hours.
I had a great experience and bought my dress at Che Bella! They were so supportive, made me feel beautiful and helped me find the perfect dress! Only thing is they measured me wa...
yyy too big (I didn’t lose weight) and I had a very hard time altering my dress, but it all turned out!

ll together, and pulled together the right dress for me with small suggestions of edits that turned it into my dream dress. All within my budget, too! The space itself is lovely, bright, and I didn't want to leave! I came back to buy my veil and hairpiece - again experiencing very helpful customer service. They gave me great recommendations for undergarments and small tips to keep in mind throughout the day. I definitely recommend!
