True Society by Belle Vogue Bridal - Lenexa

lement my body, but stay true to my style and my vision. They were honest and followed my lead, but also used their expertise to guide me to my ultimate choice. I found a dress that adjusts to me, and not the other way around- I was never pressured to make a choice or stretch a budget. I could not be more thankful I chose True Society by Belle Vogue- Lenexa!

n how I was reviewing their original picks. When I picked up my dress, they had jewelry for me to try on with my dress and I loved every second! It really helped me complete my vision for my bridal look. Would recommend!

that was extremely reasonable turn around time. I had no issues with the sizing/color once the gown came in. Bethany - what a FUN consultant! She made my experience great. From pinning me to larger display gowns, to grabbing veils and other accessories - I feel like I got great options of what I wanted and narrowed down fairly easily what I did not like in order to find the perfect combo of everything.

there. Aubin helped me in the dress search and listened to what I thought I wanted, price range, but also involved the women I brought with me which was really important for them and to me as well. I ended up getting the first dress I tried on there, although I tried on MANY dresses. They popped champagne for us and made sure we all had our moments and took pictures together. I also loved the set up of the store. It is not as public of a revealing as it is at other places. The people I brought with me could all easily see me in the dresses, but we didn't have the whole store gawking... which was really, really nice. Overall I just think they far outpace any other bridal shop in the area. Between selection, service, accessories, and prices, they are really the best at what they do.

ress was ordered. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

lt good knowing that she regularly tries on the gowns herself and so she truly knows how each one is supposed to look and fit. I also appreciated that they only showed me gowns within my price range, so I didn't fall in love with something over-budget. After ordering, my dress arrived at the shop early (even during COVID). Just be sure to call the shop a few times to check on the status of your order because I never received the delivery text message and also no one called me to let me know it had arrived early.

ed and was told to keep an open mind when dress shopping by friends. My consultant, Molly, listened to everything I had to say, made amazing recommendations, made me feel comfortable and was so much fun! She was SO knowledgeable about their gowns and inventory, and any question I had was answered with confidence and ease. She made the process of narrowing down gowns so easy. I can be very picky, but she didn't get annoyed or irritated when I was on the fence between dresses or needed to go back and forth when trying things on. I love working with people that know their stuff, and Molly very much did, which made the process such a breeze. Other consultants in the shop were super helpful, kind and welcoming as well. They have an amazing selection of gowns with a VERY broad price range that fits any budget. I was introduced to the racks with gowns that were in my budget so I knew right off the bat that I wouldn't fall in love with something out of my range. I went in without the intention to buy--just to look, and I did not feel pressured whatsoever when my appointment came to an end. I ended up looking around at other stores with different designers and came back here within 24 hours to buy my gown. They made me feel like a bride and I can't wait to pick up my dress! I'll update as I go through the process of picking up my gown, etc. but I only think my rating would get higher (too bad I can't use 10 stars). **COVID procedures: Because of COVID, they had limitations of guests and made sure all areas were clean and sanitized. I felt completely safe and appreciated the measures put in place to keep customers safe.

ve! The overall process was so simple and fun. Being able to sort through the dresses on the floor and choose some you want to try on is so fun, but it also gives the stylist a good feel of what you’re looking for/what your style is. After we tried a few on Holly went and pulled other dresses she thought I would like. She was so helpful in the dressing room, patient, kind and made the overall experience so much fun! She knew exactly what I wanted, my price range and I felt no pressure whatsoever. And at the end of the day I said YES to the dress! I cannot wait to wear this dress and all of the accessories on my wedding day! 🥰 PS the prices at Belle Vogue seemed to be much more reasonable than other bridal stores in the area, but the dresses themselves were still excellent quality! So I would highly recommend them to anyone!

d them enough!

tiful gowns to chose from and are very affordable. I am a bride during COVID-19 and they called me AFTER I had already picked up my dress and made sure I was doing okay and asked if there was anything they could do. I’m so glad I got my dream dress from them. I can’t recommend them enough ❤️

ons I had. I definitely recommend this bridal shop!

l budgets. The very last dress which I did not like on the hanger but Mandy said to just give it a try I absolutely loved. I cried, we popped Champaign, and I ordered that dress. Taylor helped me with my fitting appointment and she was amazing. I felt so beautiful. They helped me learn how to steam it, store it, and gave places to get it altered and stored. I cannot thank these ladies enough🥰🥂💍👰🏻

riendly and treated myself and my whole group so nicely. I picked out several dresses that were my style and the more I tried on, the more my stylist would bring that she chose that i liked even better! Eventually I found the perfect one and couldn't have been happier! They were so great!

did such a great job making me feel beautiful. Belle Vogue, you've got the best of the best!

on. I felt like royalty! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding gown. I went with the Martina Liana Designer; they also have essence of Australia as a designer which I also highly recommend along with a few other name brand designers. This is definitely the place to be if you’re looking for a very special wedding gown!

d different ways to modify the dress to make it my own. I felt like she was very professional with taking my suggestions and adding her expertise. I had an appointment scheduled elsewhere afterwards that my group still wanted me to attend. She was very understanding and even encouraging of me to go (instead of pressuring me to stay and buy the dress.) she said if I wanted to come back afterwards to try the dress back on and decide that I was welcome to do so. They were so accommodating and helpful. I’m so glad they were my first salon and I was able to back and say “yes”! I felt like they really cared about me, my budget and the necessary components in picking a dress instead of just making a sale. Can’t wait for my dress to come in and I wish I could go back in tomorrow and wear it again.

realize what I did and didn’t like about each style to help me narrow down my choices. I honestly ended up with a dress that I never thought I would get, but fell absolutely in love with when Taylor suggested it! I really felt like she listened to my feedback and guided me to a decision that I never thought was possible with how indecisive I am. There were a few things I wanted to change about the gown I chose, and Taylor was extremely helpful in helping me get exactly what I wanted. She even met with us a second time a few days later to walk us through exactly what changes were being made to the custom gown and answered all of our questions so that we felt confident about the final look. My mom, future mother-in-law, and best friend were able to join me and Taylor made it fun and exciting through the entire appointment. Never once did I feel rushed and we were even able to enjoy a glass of champagne to celebrate when I decided on the one! There are so many incredible gowns to choose from but the staff at Belle Vogue make it seem so easy. I can’t recommend Taylor and Belle Vogue enough!

matching separate items. I would definitely recommend.

that I would find my perfect dress on the first appointment, but the one I "said yes to" was the 4th dress I tired on! A Kansas City favorite for bridal stores! Go check them out!

stened to what I wanted and stayed within my budget. She was very patient and helped me find the perfect dress! The dresses are pretty affordable and they gave me the perfect bridal experience.

er appointment with Bella Vogue and she found her dress at another boutique. So we thought that instead of cancelling her appointment, they could just swap me in. We would just be changing who would be trying on dresses. Simple right? WRONG! After waiting a few days for an email reply (Probably because the store was closed. That's understandable) they replied back and said that they are unable to do that. Well that didn't make any sense. If she cancels her appointment, that slot should open up right? So we decided to call for a better explanation. Long story short, they overbooked. So her cancellation was helping them out. They didn't want to add any appointments, but we're more than happy to cancel her appointment. At the end of the day, I didn't feel like the situation was handled very well. In the future, I hope the solution to an overbooking error isn't hoping someone cancels. The bride and her dress shopping companions are to have personalized care since this was an appointment, not a walk-in. If my friend did show up for her appointment, it didn't sound like she was going to get the full attention expected from her appointment due to overbooking. So I never was able to step foot in the boutique but my experience just to get in the door was horrible. I was very frustrated and disappointed that night with everything that happened.

y different styles of dresses. I didn’t feel rushed and could take my time trying all different styles of dresses to determine which one I loved most. She encouraged me to try my favorite dresses on twice and allowed me time to decide what I loved. She was very receptive to what I did and didn’t like and took my feedback to pull stunning dresses. They truly do have sizes for all body sizes/shapes. Holly went above and beyond for me and my bridal party, it was the greatest experience. I had 8 people with me and there was plenty of space for everyone. I can’t recommend Holly and Belle Vogue enough!

l definitely recommend to my friends and family!

i, Aubin, and Taylor’s assistance! They had a ton of (cute) seating for my family hang out on while they to help me choose. Plus they told us we could bring champagne and they provided the glasses! 🥂 I had such a great experience, I ended up ordering all of my bridesmaids gowns here (they have the coolest bridesmaid room! 👯‍♀️I even ordered ties to match the bridesmaids gowns for my brothers, ushers, dad, the officiant, and bridesman! 👔 I ended up ordering a custom length veil and additional lace for custom sleeves. With the Martina Liana gown I chose, there were a ton of options to customize it- making my gown that much more unique. 💁🏼‍♀️ They have such a cute photo backdrop and sign to show you “said yes to the dress”. 📱 The building is in an office park, but the store is very beautiful and upscale. I’d highly recommend shopping at Belle Vogue because you WILL find THE DRESS and become a BELLE VOGUE BRIDE! 👰🏼💕

s. We were greeted by my consultant and shown to the dressing room/guest sitting area, which was beautiful and had a great set up. Unfortunately, this is where the appointment started to go downhill. The consultant asked what I was looking for and I describe the dresses that fit my style and showed her two photos of dresses that so far in my dress journey that I really liked. I let the consultant know that I was trying to figure out which style would fit my needs. When asked by her if I was going to get a dress today I let her know that if I love the dress I would have my dad come in with me to officially say yes to it (I feel with something that is at this price point and special should be thought out before instantly saying yes). I purposely scheduled my appointment this way, however the consultant asked if I wanted to come back at another time when my family could be with me. This made my group and me feel like the consultant wanted us to leave and that she would rather be somewhere else. I was hopeful that this was a one-off thing however I’m disappointed to say that it is not. My group and I felt like my consultant did not complete a proper job when we were there. She did not help me pull many dresses. When she did pull dresses, they often had the same aspects that I had stated I would not like on my gown. When trying on the dresses I tried my best to state what I liked and did not like about them to help all of us find a good match. In addition, the consultant did not try to accessorize with many items such as belts. My friends had to ask her to grab belts, which was met with a hostile attitude back from my consultant. I was rudely told that I was asking for a ballgown because I stated I did not feel bridal in some of the more form fitting gowns. At the end of the appointment, the consultant pulled a dress that had a few things I said I liked, however once on I did not like the gown. I explained why it was not what I was wanting and what I would change about it, yet again trying to be helpful to the process. It was met with an annoyed tone from the consultant saying that it was everything I had asked for. At the end of the session the consultant couldn’t seem to get out of the area with us fast enough, she even forgot to unzip the dress so I could change. She left the area completely, which left our group not knowing if we were supposed to wait for her or just leave. There are many other negative occurrences that happened during the session, however these are the main and negative interactions. This appointment left me feeling upset, frustrated, and almost in tears because of how poorly we were treated.

and I fell in love as soon as I put it on. I felt like a princess on the day of my wedding, and am so glad I went to Belle Vogue.

med me down and made my experience so calm, easy and fun. She took time to learn my style, explain the layout of the store and give insight on each label. I loved how she let me and my bridesmaids divide and conquer the store ourselves, picking out dresses I wanted to try on. It felt exciting and freeing to have that ability to control which dresses I see and try on. The first dress I saw was a gorgeous A Line Martina Liana dress and it was actually the dress I fell in love with and wore on my wedding day. She was patient when I wanted to try on 10-12 gowns to make sure I was making the right decision and was so warm and welcoming when I came back 3 times to show my family and other bridesmaids who couldn't make the initial appointment. Belle Vogue even offered to steam my gown a couple days before my wedding. Brides, you'd be crazy not to check this place out! Each line has a style for every bride and you'll feel like the true queen you are trying them on!!

nd was allowed to walk around the store to look at all the dresses. Cathy was assisting us that night. She picked out beautiful dresses that were all in my budget. She did not allow me to try on a dress that was outside my budget (I was thankful for that). The moment I put my dress on, I had that feeling that "this is it, this is my dress". Cathy got all the accessories ready and I was sold. My mom was not able to make the appointment, but my friends and Cathy helped to FaceTime her so she could be involved in the appointment. We were able to show her all the details of the dress via phone. My dress came in about 5 months later, I brought my mom to see the dress in person for the first time then. My mom and I were able to buy several accessories for the big day. I also brought a few of my bridesmaids and they purchased their dresses at Belle Vogue. They had a great selection to choose from. Cathy and the rest of the Belle Vogue staff truly made the experience about me. They didn't make me do anything cheesy (I had some pretty weird appointments elsewhere) and they listened to what I wanted. I would highly recommend going to Belle Vogue for the perfect bridal experience!

uggestions when I asked. Some other stores I shopped at didn’t really take my opinions into consideration, but I never felt like that at Belle Vogue. It’s a pretty overwhelming (but super exciting) time, and all the staff at Belle Vogue was wonderful to work with. They carry great designers and have a good range of prices. I recommend checking out Belle Vogue!

ot pushy at all. They dressed they have here are beautiful. Highly recommend!!

down what would show off my body best. Would recommend this place for sure! 😊

to put together a darling place to shop for a dress. I enjoyed my time here (and almost pulled the trigger on a dress)- I would highly recommend making this a stop if you're shopping for dresses in KC!

when I was at the store, so it would have been nice if they had asked which ones I liked out of that selection. But the associate that helped me, Molly, was amazing. She listened to what I wanted and showed me every option available to me to make sure I was getting exactly what I was looking for. She was very personable and it was very easy to be comfortable around her. I also loved the space at Belle Vogue! It was very beautifully decorated and I loved that the changing room was right in front of the couches and chairs where my entourage was seated. I would only recommend that they have a non-alcoholic option for a celebratory cheers. But overall, I definitely loved the experience I had here and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone I know.

ted. I loved their area to try on because you have more of a dramatic entrance with you not walking down but instead they just pull back a curtain (very well designed and like nothing I've seen)! A designer ambassador or something of the sort was there (not sure if she is always there or not). She was so understanding, encouraging, offered advice and really wanted to know how I felt and what I liked and didn't like! I absolutely loved having her there! When it came down to the dresses, I felt like they did have a good section of plus size dresses that I liked. Some were gorgeous for sure! Where the experience went down was when I started to try on my dresses. The lady assisting me seemed pushy, especially towards the end. When I clearly didn't like a design, she kept grabbing dresses similar or had the parts I didn't like. She pushed for a response on every dress as I was still trying to look it all over. When it became clear I wasn't going to be ordering a dress that day, she mumbled her goodbyes, didn't pay us anymore attention or walked us to the door or really acted like she care to hear anymore of my questions or concerns. My wedding is next October so I have plenty of time and don't feel like I need to rush into buying a dress! I literally raced out of there because I felt like I didn't matter by the end. When I went to go leave, I saw the manager and heard her ask if I found one (she seemed like she cared from where I stood) but the look of the lady assisting me and then she saw me and rotated her body where I couldn't see what she said just gave me feelings that she might have been saying something I wouldn't want to hear. Overall, I left wishing I would have had a different assistant and maybe I would have had a better experience?

n the middle of them moving stores so they were closed for about 3 weeks so the buying process was a bit of a mess but that’s just weird timing I think, but the new manager was very accommodating and took care of me! Their new store is SO pretty (just a little confusing to get to!). I went with a Stella York and got soooo many compliments on my dress! Use Rosa who is one of their preferred alternations vendor! What I love most? You get a discount if you buy day of!

omfortable! We loved the service and our experience!

t on Friday to try on different styles, with just my mom sister and best friend. Then came back on Saturday with a large group of friends and family to finally decide. They comfortably accommodated all 12 of us (I know I’m crazy), and were happy to do so. I worked with Kacey and she was great at helping me find my personal style, and also rangle in all my girls. I couldn’t be happier to be a Belle Vogue bride!

bridal shops for the perfect dress. Other bridal shops did not let me go through the dresses to see what I liked and didn’t. But Belle Vogue let me go through the dresses to see what I liked. They encouraged me to vocalize what I liked and didn’t like so they could find me more dresses to try on. I loved every single dress that I tried on here. Seriously - they were all BEAUTIFUL dresses. I’ve recommended them to tons of my friends and all of my friends who have gone there have ended up getting a dress from there. Love Belle Vogue - wish I could get married again just to go try on dresses at my favorite place!

the correct size (another salon refused to pin me in because she didn't want to mess up the dress). They set me up on the podium and turned me around, then opened the curtain so my mom could see the dress. I felt exactly like I was on 'Say Yes to the Dress,' which was exactly the type of experience I wanted. We both cried when we found my dream gown! There was a trunk show with my gown's designer there that day only, and I am so glad I happened to be there to purchase my dream gown. Make sure you get your gown in advance! Unfortunately, the first time my gown arrived, the designer had not measured it correctly, and it didn't fit. The bra cups were two sizes too big, and the band size was too small. My size had not changed, which Belle Vogue verified. As a result, they rushed my gown and even gave me a discount for the stress! It was so nice of them. Great customer service.

d!!

love with something different and I never would have gone for it if they hadn't suggested I just try it on. I have a very small frame and it's hard to find clothing that fits me, but this dress only needed minor alterations. I'm only rating Belle Vogue at a 4 because when I came back to pick up my dress and try it on, I felt a little rushed. Other than that, it was the perfect experience!

oogle survey which included details on my vision, my style, budget and overall plans for the wedding. Upon my first meeting my consultant, she asked me questions that were all similar to ones I had filled out in the survey so I’m not sure if she read or even had access to the survey I filled out before my appointment. While browsing for dresses, my consultant cared more about following my mom around the store and what dresses she was interested instead of what I was interested in (the person who was actually going to wear the dress). Then while trying on dresses my consultant did not assist me in putting on the dress. This was disappointing as other salons I visited I didn’t even have to think to ask for help. Also, as someone who is very introverted, I am a person who often struggles with verbalizing my thoughts about something and relied on my guests to help me with this. My consultant focused more on getting my opinion about a dress first and almost wouldn’t let me out of the dressing room before she was satisfied which made me very uncomfortable. She also repeatedly wanted to put me in gowns that I was not interested in and I felt like I was trying in so many similar gowns they were blending together in my head. When reviewing one gown I was trying on that was not my style, I told the consultant I was more of a lace girl and she rolled her eyes at the statement, seemingly disappointed that she could not convince me to get a dress I did not WANT. At the end of the appointment, I had asked if we could go look at the salons bridesmaid dresses. When we came out of their bridesmaid section, we were shocked to see the consultant had already moved on to another appointment. No thank you for coming in or goodbye. The consultant overall cared more about earning a commission and making a sale instead of making me feel comfortable and confident in my dress shopping experience. I did not feel like the consultant or the salon took the time to get to know me and what I wanted in an experience, and highly recommend other brides take this into consideration when envisioning their wedding dress shopping experience.

ivate with my family. The employee gave their expert opinion but was never pushy and I never felt like she wanted to me to buy the most expensive dress. I felt like a princess during the appointment and left looking like one. They were incredibly accommodating and professional. I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

initely recommend!

e of the dresses they had through the designer show case. My dress came in a few months later and it was perfect! I received so many complements on my veil & dress. All of the staff that I interacted with in my few times there was great.

omework to understand my vision for my wedding day. She also made sure to make me feel like my opinion was what mattered most if it was different than my moms or bridal party. She kept my guests and me organized when selecting dresses to try on, which helped me from getting overwhelmed. Good experience overall and found my dream dress! I just wish it didn’t take 5 months for it to come in :( probably not their fault though. Definitely recommend! The salon is beautiful

d prefer to support a locally owned business to where I live.)I found out Belle Vogue carries the designer and dress. I asked for them to compare the price on the phone and they indicated they don’t provide prices over the phone and I would have to make an appointment. (Frustrating, but I get it.) With my appointment they offer 20% discount on the dress. (Hooray!) I, like many, am a first time bride and I am not sure how bridal shops price their dresses. So to make sure I was getting the same price, I called back and told them the designer, style, and price the other salon had the dress listed for. They confirmed they had the dress marked at that price. I had to wait 2 weeks for my appointment but I was so excited to go see and buy THE dress. I got to my appointment; only to be disappointed that they had the dress marked $200 higher than I asked, so even with the 20% off it was higher than the salon in my hometown. After some back and forth I left... without ordering a dress. I left feeling extremely frustrated and manipulated (and some tears were shed). Did they think that I wouldn’t notice the dress was $200 more? Did they think I was going to be so excited and emotional that I wouldn’t care? I ended up calling my hometown store and ordering it over the phone. My total with tax and shipping (with a 10% discount on the original price ) was less than the original total with Belle Vogue. Just make sure to ask a lot of questions and not let emotions get the best of you.

ich is fun and meaningful when someone you know picks your dress. I would recommend them to anyone I know looking for a bridal gown!

tore and everyone that works there was so helpful with their opinions. My sister lives out of state, so she couldn't make it to my appointment, but we were Facetiming with her and my consultant even made sure to make her feel included as well!!! Thank you Belle Vogue for making my gown shopping experience absolutely perfect!!!

made me feel so beautiful and confident! I can't wait until my dress comes in!!

Thank you Belle Vogue for your help! I will definitely refer all my friends to you =)

got sent directly to me and arrived before wedding day!

feedback for each dress and made it so fun and stress free. The whole staff was so sweet and helpful and I couldn’t have asked for better quality, selection, and prices!

e, making for a warm and inviting atmosphere while shopping. My consultant listened to what I liked and disliked. In the end, the dress I said yes to made me feel absolutely gorgeous, and I felt as though I had a gown you could not find anywhere else. Belle Vogue was also very welcoming even after I purchased my gown. When I went in to pick up my gown, they allowed me to try it on again in store to see if I had any questions or concerns, and they steamed my dress and veil for free just a couple of days before the wedding. There was only one hiccup in my experience regarding my veil. I had a two piece—one long chapel length section and a blusher. On the day of the wedding we noticed the blusher was missing from the bag. When we called the salon, they located it right away and had it at the venue within 20 minutes of me calling. I appreciated the salon’s honesty and immediate action. To me it demonstrated the salon’s outstanding professionalism. Overall, I highly recommend Belle Vogue. I could not have picked a better bridal salon.

oked at the styles of the dresses I had pulled to try on and went to get this dress from the back. She did such a good job of nailing my style so quick! She was also able to find me a veil that matched my dress PERFECTLY. I was so in love and she gave me an amazing deal that brought me well under my budget for my dress. Everyone at Belle Vogue is so nice and helpful. You feel welcomed the minute you walk in. I highly recommend using Rosa Carminda, the alterations lady they recommend. She is highly skilled at alterations and does them quickly at a reasonable price. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Belle Vogue and would recommend any new brides to check out the unique gowns they have.

of a different color. Turns out that was my perfect dress!!! The atmosphere of the shop was so inviting and welcoming. I definitely recommend brides come here for their bridal gowns!!

re was a little confusion with when different parts of my dress came in and with bridesmaid's dresses, but everything worked out!

hank you for making the experience so memorable.

f the first dresses we brought in to start with but it was the last dress I tried on because they forgot I hadn't tried it on yet and instead kept pulling other dresses according to my opinions of the ones I did try on. Had we tried on all the dresses from the first round, the appointment would have wrapped up a lot sooner. But it worked out in the end!

e selection at Belle Vogue Bridal was amazing and I went with a 2-piece- it was so cool to know that my dress was one of a kind. Cheska picked out a great belt that connected the top and bottom perfectly and brought the entire dress together. The dress arrived exactly when I was told it would arrive and it looked better than I could ever imagine. The complimentary steaming of my dress and veil the week of the wedding was a great perk!

get. I felt relaxed and happy to make the choices that I did! : ) The dress turned out so beautifully with the custom alterations I had decided to make. Also really appreciated their alteration suggestions.

y dress to make sure it was the one, and they got me right in. All of the staff is very accommodating and helpful. They went above and beyond to help my find my dress! I highly recommend Belle Vogue Bridal!
