This place is amazing! The amount of options are great and the environment was very inviting but glamorous. Amanda and Grace were amazing at helping me pick out a dress and seeing my vision with alterations! My experience was great and I would highly recommend this shop to any bride looking for their dress!
The entire Stella’s was wonderful! We got my wedding dress, my mom’s dress and my mother in law’s dress and we had a great experience.
Only bummer was that my bustle didn’t play nicely but maybe user error trying to put it up.
This shop was amazing! They were all so helpful to work with getting me my mother of the bride dress. Thank you for everything.
My experience at Stella's was amazing. It is a local shop to where I grew up and a lot of people I grew up with go here for their dress. I opted to do their VIP package, which I loved. I got 2 hours for my dress hunt, a private area and I was able to bring all my people with me. From the start of me looking into inspo for my dress, I knew I wanted a dress with sleeves. My stylist was amazing in showing me dresses with and without sleeves. The dress I fell in love with was sleeveless but my stylist mentioned their seamstress can make me sleeves from extra material. The sleeves turned out perfect! It was exactly what I wanted and the seamstress was able to make them detachable which came to be even more amazing on my day of. I highly recommend as every one was always so nice, communication was clear and the selection of dresses was awesome. My mom and MIL also got their dresses for my wedding there and they looked amazing
The team at Stella's helped me feel like a princess every step of the way. Everyone I worked with was super knowledgeable and clearly love weddings. Grace was the absolute best!
Grace was fantastic! When I walked into Stella’a I had no idea what would look good on my body type. I had so many options of different types of dresses that I liked. Grace really helped me feel completely comfortable with her. She took her time to listen to my likes and dislikes. She helped me narrow down dresses to my likings. She was amazing. She is the sweetest person and helped me so much that i said yes to the dress at Stella’s. I would highly recommend going to Stella’s to find your dream dress. The selection they have is crazy big! Thank you so much Grace and Stella’s for my amazing experience!
My journey with Love it at Stella's was nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked in, their exceptional customer service made me feel like the only bride in the world. They listened attentively and made every appointment a special occasion filled with warmth and friendliness.
The responsiveness of the entire team was unparalleled. Whether I had a question or needed to schedule a fitting, they were always there, easing any pre-wedding nerves with their prompt and caring communication. And the seamstress? Lizz is a true artist! With her exceptional talent, skill, and attention to detail, she turned my gown into a masterpiece that fit like a dream, making me feel like a princess on my special day. Lizz’s attention to detail, friendliness, and expertise set her apart. After multiple fittings, Stella’s offered to send my dress off to be professionally cleaned to get it ready for the bid day, at no cost to me. The owner, Doris, even checked in with me to ensure that the dress was perfect upon picking it up during wedding week.
The team at Stella’s exceeded all expectations. Their outstanding service, responsiveness, and the incredible talent of their seamstress (Lizz) create an unforgettable bridal experience. I am forever grateful to them for making my wedding dreams a reality. I would recommend Stella’s to any bride-to-be!
I ordered my MOB dress at Stella’s and it was a great experience. I’ve been to multiple shops for my daughters’ weddings and Stella’s is the prettiest shop with lots of natural light and private spaces for brides/bridal parties to shop. If my daughter didn’t already have her dress, I would definitely have her go to Stella’s. I tried on the dresses I liked, but the one I bought was selected by my consultant Karen who was wonderful. She was helpful without being pushy. The entire experience was a “10”.
Their wedding dress selection is to die for. They are absolutely amazing. So professional and they help so much. However their tuxes are a pain to deal with. We were missing parts we ordered, charged for things we didn’t get, and not to mention so many pants and jackets came in the wrong size. We went in to fix it and they tried to explain it away when the groom sat and the bottom of his pants went to his knees. Yes get your wedding dress there. Don’t get your tuxes there.
Lovely store, outstanding selection for a plus-size mother of the groom, and Grace made my experience wonderful! I highly recommend!
What an all around fantastic experience! I upgraded to the VIP experience and it was so worth it. I had my own large private room that included charcuterie and we were able to bring our own champagne. Kellsye was my bridal stylist and she was so awesome and informative about my options! She had dresses from my look book ready to try on. While they were all beautiful, I wasn’t feeling wowed. She offered to pick something for me to try on that was a different style than things I had chosen, and that wound up being my say yes to the dress moment! Keep an open mind if you don’t love what you thought you would, they’re there to offer their expertise. The entire process of timelines for ordering a dress and alterations was explained very well to me. Myself and my guests also really enjoyed what a big deal they made about finding my dress. Taking our pictures celebrating was so much fun! I am so excited to wear this gorgeous gown on my special day!!
Absolutely amazing experience! Beautiful large selection of wedding dresses! Great quality and value! Will definitely recommend to all my friends
Do yourself a favor and head up to Stella's to find your dream dress. Grace was amazing, she looked at my inspo photos and found my dream dress - the Serenity, a stunning lace and beaded aline that had a blue/grey underskirt. The dress also had a matching cathedral veil that I HAD to have as well. My mother and my mother-in-law also found their dresses here.
Both my mom and I had our alterations done here and we were very happy with the result. Dorris did a great job showing my mom how to bustle my dress. I recommend purchasing the princess package which includes week of steaming, extra storage and preservation (among other things). Everyone here is so welcoming and goes the extra mile to make a bride feel special!
I visited Stella’s in October 2023 for the Bridal Princess Experience for my first dress appointment. This gave us 3 hours to ourselves in the store. I was first interested in Stella’s because of the wide variety and price range of dresses. They had many dresses that I was very interested in trying. We traveled an hour and a half to get to Stella’s, and it was definitely worth it! My mom was the one who arranged the appointment. She said every one she spoke with was very easy to work with and responded to any messages very quickly! Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Grace and Angie. They had our private bridal suite set up with different pictures my mom had sent in, a charcuterie board, sparkling cider, and a custom playlist with many of my favorite songs. I was also given a gift box full of little treats from different local shops! I had a wonderful time working with Grace and Angie. They did an amazing job at selecting dresses for me based on my preferences, and I felt extremely comfortable with them. Not once did I feel rushed or unheard. They made sure that I was ready before moving on and that my thoughts and opinions were the first to be shared. I am so thankful for Grace and Angie! They made this experience absolutely magical! This appointment truly made me feel like a beautiful bride. I ended up saying yes to the dress to a dress from the Stella collection, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice!
This is review for the seamstress experience. My shopping experience at Stella’s was wonderful and the staff was very receptive and helpful.
I scheduled a seamstress appointment a month in advance, took off work, and had someone available to go with me. Stellas had to reschedule my appointment, resulting in me attending the appointment by myself. This appointment consisted of one seamstress fresh out of school and a seasoned seamstress. I would’ve thought that two professionals would be even better than one, but that was not the case. There were no recommendations from the seamstress or knowledge of altering shared with me. Everything was “up to me” and there was no clear picture of how my $2,000 gown would fit after these alterations. My dress has a lot of embroidery and beading and when they went to bustle, it was all extending from my butt. It was lumpy and extremely unflattering. When I shared my concern, they stated that it would look much better once it was made.
I came back for my follow-up appointment with my sister and bridesmaid who were just as appalled by the now created bustle. My sister described it as “cheap and poorly made.” Both seamstresses blamed the dress fabric and stated this was our only option. My sister, with no alteration experience, provided suggestions. The seamstresses followed her guidelines and a more visually appealing bustle was created.
At my third appointment, the bustle was made and we now had to address the fir at the top of my gown. They stitched in the bust to reduce the gaping appearance. However, the straps and top of the bust still did not lay flat on my chest. The seamstress took the dress in back to add more stitching. My dress came back with the material bunched, appearing worse than before, leaving me in tears. We then asked her to undo the stitching. After over $600 of alterations, their solution was for me to buy double sided tape to tape the dress to my chest.
Throughout the rescheduling and three appointments, there were no apologies. About 15-20 minutes into our reception, the bustle loops ripped off my dress, leaving two large holes. Not only did we have to guide the seamstresses through every step of this process, but their alterations did not even last. I am extremely upset with my experience and do not intend to refer or use Stella’s for alterations.
Loved the experience of shopping for a dress at Stella's. They made me feel very special.
However, was not happy with the alterations made to the dress. My concerns and things I wanted were not addressed/met. I paid to add straps to my gown for the reception - they busted off 5 minutes into reception.
I believe I chose the wrong dress style for my body, but the alterations were so expensive to not help in any way. The gapping around my cleavage was unacceptable. Overall, not happy with it.
Wonderful experience, friendly staff. Grace was awesome at making me feel beautiful on my special day. Highly recommend!
Let me just say first, Grace. Was. So. Amazing!!! I had never been dress shopping before and honestly had a bit of anxiety around trying on dresses and not finding one that fit well. Boy, was I wrong!! With the first few dresses, Grace got a feel for what I was looking for and truly pin pointed the perfect size for me that fit my body amazingly! In a little less than 2 hours and 15ish dresses, I found my DREAM DRESS. We were able to sip on champagne and really enjoy our time at this appointment. Truly an unforgettable day with my family finding my wedding dress. We all cried, including Grace. Which goes to show how compassionate and devoted she is to helping you find your dress for your special day
We went with Stella’s for both my wedding dress and the groomsmen suits, and we could not have had a better experience! I thought the process of choosing a dress would be stressful, but the ladies at Stella’s as well as my family who attended made it easy and so much fun. They are so good at pulling dresses based on the feedback you give them, and they helped me find my dream dress! They were also very good about staying within budget, which I appreciated. As for the guys, the process for selecting and trying on suits was a breeze. The staff was able to take my husband’s ideas and find a look that complimented the bridesmaid dresses beautifully. They were able to get the suits in on time with no trouble despite the high volume of weddings occurring. The return process was simple and short. Thank you Stella’s for everything!
The absolute most easiest process I’ve experienced throughout my wedding planning! LOVE it at STELLA’S is amazing and the staff were SO NICE! You don’t feel rushed and they are exceptionally helpful! I come from far and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for their perfect dress!
Absolutely amazing!! I started my wedding dress shopping at Stellas and I didn’t need to look anywhere else. Their selection of dresses is incredible and I can’t say enough about their friendly staff! They go above and beyond and they were with me every step of the way! Karen was so kind and sweet and I always looked forward to my visits to Stellas. My bridesmaids dresses were also done through Stella’s and we received so many compliments on how beautiful the colors were! The quality of all the dresses was amazing and they all looked so beautiful. The customer service is truly unmatched and I would refer anyone looking for a wedding dress or bridesmaids dresses to go to Stellas!
Everyone there was wonderful! They helped me find the perfect dress and worked with the designer to customize my dress. It was originally off the shoulder and they changed to regular straps so I could move easier. They did a great job with the custom measurements, which helped to limit the amount of alterations I would later need. I used their alteration department to add a bustle and she did a wonderful job. Overall they were wonderful and I would highly recommend.
Had an AMAZING experience. Went to Stella's because it was close to my future mother-in-law's, and so impressed. Their service and attention to my wants/desires made for a dreamy dress. I bought an exclusive to stella's design and loved that no one would likely have seen a dress quite like mine! They were helpful with fittings and helping me feel the most comfortable!
Best bridal boutique ever! Found my dream dress and was able to get all my alterations there! Staff was amazing and you can’t beat the prices! The atmosphere was light and airy and exciting. Make this your first stop when dress shopping!
I had heard how amazing Love It! at Stella's was from other brides I know but my experience there today topped anything I could have imagined!! Our stylist was Karen and she was absolutely amazing!!! To be honest, I was pretty nervous going into my bridal appointment because I am pretty indecisive and a "people-pleaser" so I was a little apprehensive that I would be pushed one way or another but Karen was just a dream!! She had looked at my "favorites" that I had saved on my "LookBook" on the website and had so many styles ready that I instantly loved. She was able to identify trends that were appearing in the dresses I saved to help lead me in the right direction and was so helpful in narrowing down my picks! I would even say, "I love the neckline on this dress, but I love the train on this other dress..." and she somehow was able to put everything I was looking for in one beautiful dress! She listened and offered such helpful direction but was so accepting and just everything I could have asked for! In ONE day I picked my DREAM dress! Thank you so much, Karen and Love It! at Stella's! Thank you for helping me find my perfect dream dress!
I came here expecting that this would be the first of a few wedding dress stores I’d visit. Nope! I found the perfect dress here!
We worked with Grace to find my dress and she listened intently to what I was looking for, taking down notes and even grabbing some of the exact dresses I originally saw online. She also took some creativity with the dresses she pulled, having me try ones I know I wouldn’t have tried normally. I’m glad she did it though because that’s how I found my perfect dress and below my budget!
When it was time to get the dress tailored, their seamstress was top notch, taking great care to get my measurements right, especially with hemming as I’m a very short girl and easily trip on long dresses. Trust their advice on when to get the dress tailored as they know their workload and how long the turnaround is. My wedding was in January so they told me to get it altered in December with a turnaround later that month. There was even plenty of time to adjust things if needed too.
I highly recommend shopping here for your wedding dress. Even if you don’t know what you’re looking for, they do.
Stella Bridal Team - thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Even after some failed attempts at other salons, I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Grace and Christa were by far the biggest help in finding the dress of my dreams. They were attentive, caring and made sure that all of my asks were met. They even went as far as staying after hours in order to ensure that the designer was in fact able to make all the tweaks I was looking for. To any gal searching for a dress, I would highly recommend visiting Stella's Bridal! Their selection is amazing and the staff will make sure the experience is what every Bride should have!
Visiting Stella's was a great choice! The shop is beautiful with a large selection of dresses. I had a great experience overall and got to narrow my vision for my wedding dress!
Stella's has a beautiful selection of dresses, the staff is amazing and the customer service is wonderful! Would highly recommend going here.
The bridal team at Stella’s is beyond outstanding. They are friendly, helpful, and go above and beyond. I found my dress here and could not have looked more beautiful. Great selection of gowns. Thank you Stella’s!!!!
Stella's provided such a great experience from start to finish. I went to Stella's with my mom in search of my wedding gown. Nothing was giving the perfection feeling, but with my vision in mind, Grace pulled out one last gown with our permission to step a little over our price range. This gown was stunning, but lacked the neckline I desperately wanted. Grace truly went above and beyond, and we merged two dresses into one, creating my dream dress. The gown was a Casablanca, so we chose the custom measurement option, which really paid off in the long run in regard to alterations. The dress came in sooner than expected and was absolutely perfect when I tried it on. Each fitting from there was seamless. I couldn't have asked for better service when choosing a once in a lifetime dress!
I can't say enough about this place! The staff, shop, and seamstress are all charming! I shopped other stores, but was proud to give my money to this unique, professional, warm, family owned business!
Doris was a joy to work with in helping me find the dress of my dreams and coordinating with the seamstress who altered my dress (and added a belt). I would highly recommend!
Grace was a DREAM to work with. She listened to my style descriptors and only brought me dresses that fit that style. She listened to my critiques and modified her selections with each piece of feedback. Ultimately I got a dress I would never have considered before, but that I felt was unique and great value for money. I bought it off the rack at a discount and needed little to no alterations. I went to many shops in my home city of New York and ultimately found the winning one in good 'ol Westminster. Thanks Grace and thanks Stella's!
Doris Dower and the other ladies were professional and personable. They were very attentive to our needs. The ladies took their time in finding the right dress for us.
I bought 2 formal gowns and my daughter’s wedding gown. We were very satisfied with the customer service. I would highly recommend this shop for formal wear.
As a plus size bride, I was very happy with my options and how they made me feel great about myself. My dress appt was great and I still love my choice. However, they put several more bustles than I was initially told, making my alterations more than $50 over what my estimated maximum cost was, and some of the buttons fell off before I even got bustled, which is very disappointing considering the cost which is done per bustle (I had eight). So in short, the dress and shopping experience was awesome, but the alterations was worse than expected.
I have been coming to this store for years and found the bridal gown of my dreams here. However, there is a lack of communication among the employees. A week before my wedding- my alterations were not completed nor were they correct. I waited over 2 hours there and was charged more than my original ticket said. I eventually called back inquiring about the price difference. I was lied to and given a round about answer as to why it was suddenly over $400. During one fitting, it took someone 15 minutes to find my dress and she kept coming out to ask the other lady where it was. My groom also got his tuxes there. They messed up on many of the measurements. They did not instruct anyone on how to return them either. After my groom dropped all of the tuxes off after the wedding, they claimed one was missing. A lady was heard on the phone saying they had the right tux but the other lady said different. The young girl working when my groom dropped them off did not give one instruction other than to leave them on the bench near the dressing rooms. The heels I bought from them, also broke during my reception! The lack of communication between employees ends up hurting the customer. I have never had the displeasure of working with a vendor who would lie to save face due to mistakes made by their employees. They are unorganized and quite frankly caused more stress than what was needed during the planning of my wedding. I will never spend any money there again.
I got married a few weeks ago . It took me forever to find the perfect dress! So I went to Stella's because all the locals love it. I will admit after trying on about 10 dresses ( to equal 50 total) I found one that I thought would work. They do have a very pretty selection of dresses but I promise it stops after that. I need alterations done to this dress and some enhancements. so I agreeded and hoped it would look right.
My first dress appointment , my dress was waiting for me. No alterations or enhancements were done. My assistant was unaware of it.
My second - third appointment the dress got way to tight from the first set of alterations. I was told by the seamstress none the less that I gained weight! Yes she said it. I promise that didn't not happen. At the end of the second appointment they tried to recharge me for my alterations .
my fourth appointment: The dress still didn't fit and she repeated herself about me gaining weight. they measured me and it was exact measurements as before. so I went off . its very unprofessional to tell a client that they gained weight especially when they didn't. No matter what size a woman is the seamstress should be able to alter the dress! it finally worked out and I got my dress with only one small issue they couldn't figure out ( w.e)
Day of wedding when I took off my dress all the custom buttons fell off my dress. Luckily for them it was at the end of my wedding! yes they replaced my buttons but they need to replace their very unprofessional , seamstresses!
Had an amazing experience at stellas. The people are so nice and caring and took there time till I found exactly what I wanted. They were able to customize the dress that I wanted so that I could have a one of the kind dress and it was perfect. It came with plenty of time for my wedding which was a miracle because I didn't have a long engagement but the put my dress on rush order and I got it just in time with a perfect veil to watch. All in all I would definitely recommend Stella's for there great selection and service.
Worst bridal dress shopping experience ever. I left the store crying. My mom and I had heard how great Stella's was from people know, so we decided to book an appointment. I do not live in the area anymore so it takes about 1hr for me to get there. The day of the appointment I get a call asking if they could push back my appointment from 5:30pm to 7pm because my consultant had an errand to run. Needing a dress, I said that's fine. So I drive an hour to get there, and when I get there my consultant who was supposed to be helping me, was busy with other people. So I drove 2 hours in total to end up getting no help, and told that I need to figure out what I want before I can go dress shopping again. That was my third time dress shopping so I pretty much know what I like.....they just sucked. I'm so pissed and I will never be returning there again. Sounds like I am the odd ball with a bad experience, but in my mind, this should NEVER happen to a client.
I highly recommend Love it! To all brides who are looking for a beautiful yet unique wedding dress. Debbie helped me find my dream dress and then made it even better by adding custom lace hemming. I felt like a princess at my wedding and I got so many compliments on how beautiful my dress was. Thank you for helping me have a fairytale wedding!
My relationship with these amazing ladies goes back to 2001 for my senior prom. At the time, they were Stella's Bridal located in the Highlandtown neighborhood in Baltimore City. Then I bought my wedding gown from them in 2011 as I planned to marry the wrong guy. Fast forward to 2016, I've found the right guy and fortunately I already have the right dress. Even though they've long since moved, I had to find these women to do my alterations. I didn't want anyone else. We took the gown to their current location in Westminster and it was like no time had passed. The ladies there were so wonderful to me even though I wasn't shopping, just having my dress taken in and hemmed here and there. I highly recommend them and hope that one day I'll be able to take future daughter there to shop for dresses.
Debi was absolutely amazing to work with after visiting multiple places and still not finding what I wanted for my wedding dress, Debi looked at me and asked what was wrong with the dress I fell in love with?
Once she knew what my issue was she went to work to get the perfect dress created from Casa Blanca Bridal and within a few short days I had a drawing and the price of my custom made dress that was exactly what I wanted!!
We also ordered my Bridesmaids dresses from Love It At Stella's too, and they were perfect.
The staff, the owner and the pricing at Stella's was wonderful. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress.
Beautiful store, wonderful staff, and great quaility dresses with affordable prices. I love the feel and look of the store. Very youthful, modern and clean. The sales reps are very friendly and attentive. I found my perfect dress!
I had the best experience! Debi took great care of me and helped me find the perfect dress. Her and her staff are all amazing and help you try on dresses that match your style.
I LOVE Stella's! Ask for Debi and she will completely take care of you. She's so patient and is amazing at what she does. I was there for 3.5 hours trying to hurry and she kept assuring mention was okay and to take my time. I went in just expecting to try on dresses to see how they looked and had no expectations of buying anything since I had a small $500 budget. I'm also really picky but once I was honest about my budget she pulled out over 15 dresses that I didn't just liked I LOVED every single one of them and they were writhing my budget. I left with my dream dress. Thanks so much Debi for making this (hopefully) once-in-a lifetime moment so special for my mom and me.
I had a great experience at Stella's. I saw my dress online and called them to try it on and I went the next day to try it and loved it. They had to order it in my color and it came faster than I was told it would be available. The alterations and additions that needed to be done were done in a timely fashion.
My daughter and I continued our search for her wedding dress at Stella's. The professional and personal service we received was a healing experience. Their ear for the client, eye for fashion and, thorough knowledge of their inventory made the experience a successful venture rather than a frustrating ordeal. After narrowing down to 3 gowns, we invited her sister and a friend to help seal the deal. Not only did we have a consensus on the gown but each one of us also found dresses for the upcoming event!
I got my bridesmaid dresses here and the dresses were beautiful but they told me I came too late to look and they would have to charge my girls extra money for a rush order. They were very friendly to us and made it so we didn't need to get the dresses rushed. We also got the tuxedos here. I was not happy that all the tuxs did not come in at one time. The last tux came in the day before the wedding. Thank goodness they all fit
Stella's was so helpful! We had a very short notice wedding and they were able to help outfit my girls, even one who was newly pregnant in less than a week! My dress was perfect. I was swimming in it before it was altered and afterwards it looked like it had been made for it. Stella's is great!!
