Wedding Belles

stores i visited, I felt that theirs was curated better across styles. They can also supply bridesmaids dresses and they corresponded directly with my bridesmaid to get this done, which was one less headache for me. Vinny does their alterations. She is so kind and talented. She did a wonderful job and even delivered my dress the day before. Highly recommend

es in the shop. And would encourage all brides to be, to use these welcoming and nice people.

f my bridal experience. They made me feel special and that they were genuinely excited for me!

tore several times for bridesmaids dresses and on one of those occasions, spotted my dream dress - a year before I even got engaged! Fast forward a year, I was finally engaged and ready to try on dresses and then we discovered another surprise - I was pregnant with our first baby! Of course we were ecstatic but I was very nervous that finding a non-maternity wedding dress would be a nightmare, and one that could fit into our timeline (due to my husbands job, we had a 5 month engagement!). I still wanted to try my dream dress on at Wedding Belles, and it ended up being perfect. Morgan, my stylist, along with Vinny, their in-house tailor, assured me that I would not need to worry about a baby bump and made what I was dreading into a really pleasant experience. My dress turned out absolutely perfect and I was so happy with the entire process from try on to wedding day! I actually miss not having a reason to go into the boutique anymore!

and designers. Would definitely recommend to anyone getting married!

mazing. The women are so welcoming and would greet me by name every time I walked in. They were so accommodating with ordering samples for bridesmaid dresses as well. One bridesmaid had a difficult schedule and they offered to bring her dress to her! They were absolutely outstanding!

and I struggled to find even 1 I wanted to try on, but there were multiple dresses at WB that I loved! Almost nothing there was "tacky." I believe around a year ago when I started looking for dresses, their website said their gowns started at $2,000, but they actually had a very good array of dresses in the $1000 range as well in store! I was totally in love with the Jenny Yoo gown I ended up going with. The ladies at Wedding Belles made me feel like royalty when I was searching for my wedding dress. They were always patient with me when I wanted to try on additional dresses and with all of my mom and I's questions. They were up front about pricing and fees. And the store environment is a gorgeous, non-tacky bridal wonderland.

BEST and I mean BEST seamstress. Mrs. Vinnie is worth every penny! If you are looking for elegance and/or something different in a wedding dress, Wedding Belles has it!

the ordering process super easy. If you have out of town bridesmaids that can't make it into the shop, the shop provides a detailed email of how to measure and the whole thing can get done through email or by phone. I am very happy I went with Wedding Belles!

ly close to what my daughter wanted in an affordable price range. We were going to go back for the sample that was a bargain, but we had two more appointments, and ended up finding exactly what she wanted at another shop. However, we felt guilty not buying from Katie-- we liked her so much! You never know which shop will happen to have what you're looking for, but our Wedding Belles experience was lovely and relaxed, and we highly recommend it.

he dress I decided to go there to try it on again. I tried on a few other beautiful gowns at their shop but again found myself drawn to the first one I fell in love with. Scarlett was amazing. She helped me identify what would make the dress perfect (for me that meant adding a train.. didn’t know that was a possibility until this interaction), called the designer while I was there to ensure that she could do what I wanted, and helped me pair the dress with the perfect veil. We ended up going back to Wedding Belles to try on and then order bridesmaid gowns. I can’t say enough good things about this perfectly southern bridal shop!

did not want to look at). They organize the dresses by price which is a very smart idea. No bride wants to fall in love with a dress they know is out of their price range. I found the dress of my dreams and I still love it after the big day. I hope to one day to be back with someone special to me to find their dress!

you can afford. If you need a gown, stop what you’re doing, and go to Wedding a Belles right now!

old me you can customize the look that made me rethink that I could find my dress in the store. However, when I first thought custom look I didn't want to purchase two dresses - and I didn't have to! Some of the designers let you change the top and/or bottom or even let you remove certain details. And it was still within my budget! Scarlett, Amy and team helped capture the vision of my dress after mixing and matching different dresses. There was no pressure to buy that day and even let me go over my appointment time so I could walk around and know I was comfortable in the dress. They knew what vision I was trying to capture and Amy had talked to the designer to reconfirm how I had envisioned the dress before it was made. I came in the store several times after to try it on for friends and family and for alterations and every time I walked into the store I received such a warm welcome from the staff. What was even better is that they let me keep my dress in the store up until my wedding so we didn't have to worry about storing it. I loved working with everyone there and they truly helped make my wedding dress vision come to life!

me. They stored my dress and veil up until the wedding and pressed and steamed it for me day of. They also referred me to Sophie (who was amazing) for my fittings, and I was able to do all of my fittings in the shop.

what you want, while allowing you to try out other options and styles. Have already recommended WB to many friends and family, and hope to get a Bridesmaids dress from them soon just to go back!!

y from planning and contacted all the bridesmaids to make sure they got their measurements and fittings. I would highly recommend Wedding Belles to anyone getting married. They are EXCELLENT!!.

t it wasn't bridal enough, they found me my perfect dress and in my budget. It didn't feel like they were trying to crank through my appointment, they were very helpful!

unique so I could set myself apart from the clients I work with every weekend. When it came to the dress, it was the hardest part of my search and my planning. The process was not fun, it was not unique and there certainly was not anything "speaking" to me - until I went to Wedding Belles. I not only found my dress, which was amazing, but I basically decided to reconstruct the dress once it came in and I did not have a lot of time to do it. The entire staff at Wedding Belles was so helpful in this processes and the girls were with me every step of the way - for all 5 fittings!!! I could not have had a better experience and every time I bring my brides to them, they receive the same personal attention and unique experience - they leave feeling good about themselves and they leave feeling great about a process that can be super overwhelming and deflating. I would highly recommend Wedding Belles and I'm so thankful that they were with me throughout my entire process!!!

I was not looking forward to quite an enjoyable experience. Sophie, who did my alterations, basically took apart this dress and refashioned it for my small frame- amazing and talented work. I highly recommend Wedding Belles and Sophie.

took the stress out of everything, helping me to have my dream wedding dress customized just for me! We enjoyed our experience so much, we ended up using Wedding Belles for my dress, the bridesmaids dresses, bridesmaids robes, and my earrings! They are fantastic and should be the one stop shop for all brides! Vinnie was also able to perfectly alter my dress days before so that everything about my night was perfect. I love these girls, thank y'all so much!!

arrings for both me and my mom. Such a beautiful shop with lovely employees.

deciding between were insanely marked up at Wedding Belles. You could find them multiple places (including Kleinfelds) for $500-700 less than Wedding Belles. Don't buy your dress here - no bride wants to feel ripped off! Or deal with rude staff.

lon I shopped at- it honestly felt so comfortable and at home. I never felt rushed or misunderstood. Amy guided me during my journey, and I couldn't have wished for a better ambiance, professionalism, or authentic assistance. I recommend them to the utmost degree. You will love their selection of dress and their pristine space, but you will come back for their customer service. Thank you so much!

ress. Not Wedding Belles though. Wedding Belles was clean, fresh, and spacious. The gown selection was nice. The ladies who work there are courteous and professional and have a great eye for what looks good! Where other dress shops may try to sell you any dress, Wedding Belles will courteously say something along the lines of "It's beautiful, but you don't seem to love it" and find something that actually works! I loved working with Katie - she also knew what accessories work best and the best way to tailor the dress custom to what I wanted. Their tailor also does exceptional work. Would definitely recommend!

my first stop, and ended up getting the very first dress I tried on! They were such an amazing help and made my experience one I will never forget. Thank you Wedding Belles!!!

t was, which made it even more special to me. When a seller is genuinely in love with their product it is so refreshing. The other thing that stood out was how laid back the environment was in the shop. I felt zero pressure to purchase a dress from Sophia. She let me pick any and everything out. She didn't try to point me in any one direction. And when I asked her opinion she was 100% honest, which is so valuable when you are picking your dress for the most important day of your life. Even if I wouldn't have found "the dress" I probably would have bought something because I was so comfortable and happy in the store. Oh, and Vinnie the seamstress was a GEM! She literally wants every single dress she works on the be perfect! I can't even count how many times she asked me to come by to fix a detail on the dress (most of the time it was things I didn't even notice!) Vinnie is wonderful and I so value all of the time she spent making sure my dress fit me like a glove. Thank you Wedding Belles and I wish I could come by another dress!

ost beautiful, varied, unique and well made dresses of any bridal shop in the city. I would (and have!) recommend them for anyone in SE Louisiana looking for a great experience and a high quality, unique dress!

commend Wedding Belles to everyone I know!

d Wedding Belles enough--both for the beautiful gowns AND stellar service.

road, none of which were the store's fault. Amy went above and beyond anything she ever had to do in order for me to not be stressed and to make sure my gown was absolutely perfect. The customer service and genuine love I felt from Wedding Belles is something I will always treasure about my wedding planning experience. Amy and this shop became my friends and people who I could turn to when something went wrong, or went well! Vinnie, the shop seamstress is also nothing short of amazing and can do anything!! Choose Wedding Belles to find your dream gown and I can guarantee that you will never have a better experience or receive better customer service than you will here.

ss that would work for me as I was going to be five months pregnant at the time of the wedding. A very positive experience!

dresses and earrings. My dress was perfect and just what I had in mind and the alterations made it fit perfectly. Overall, I perfect experience!

ry taste in every style. Please do yourself a favor and book an appointment with these ladies.

ck repeatedly (the store even ended up staying open late to accommodate me). Scarlett was able to help me focus and remind me how I had envisioned myself looking on my wedding day, which made my decision so clear. When my mother appeared less than pleased with my choice, Scarlett could tell I was getting upset. She kept reminding me that it was my day and it was up to me - the most important thing is how I see myself and how I feel in my dress. She remained so patient with me (and my group) and so poised. She really made the whole experience so wonderful! We had been dress shopping all day long - 5 appointments back-to-back totaling over 8 hours of dress shopping! I was so lucky to end my day at Wedding Belles and have Scarlett helping me. I cannot begin to thank her and all the ladies at Wedding Belles enough for making me feel so special and being so wonderful! I will definitely be coming back to Wedding Belles for my Bridesmaids dresses.

rous times for follow up fittings and to order the bridesmaids dresses. They were so helpful throughout the entire process and I would recommend Wedding Belles to anyone getting married!!

I hugely appreciated the time that Katie spent with me. Wedding Belles helped me and my bridesmaids every step of the way, from helping to pick out fabric and color, ordering, altering, and keeping in contact with all of us. They made the entire process SUPER easy, which as any bride will know, is the best gift we can receive!

me find the perfect dress. They were so easy to work with and were always super helpful. I highly recommend Wedding Belles.

does calligraphy, so she ended up addressing my invitations..which turned out absolutely perfect! Not to mention, they did all of this perfectly with me being out of town. They worked their schedules to meet with me when I was going to be in town. 10/10--would absolutely recommend!

o help you find your wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses!

dating with my schedule (I live an hour away) and my dress fit like a glove! Best in the business! Look no further if you are searching for the perfect dress!

t for my bridesmaids to come and try on bridesmaids dresses complete with champagne! They were organized, accommodating, and had a fabulous gown selection. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

or everyone at Wedding Belles for all that they did for my bridesmaids and their dresses!

more fun. There was plenty of room for my mom, my (now) mother-in-law, and some friends in one room and a separate changing room for my to put on dresses. The entire team was wonderful! I feel really lucky that I bought my beautiful dress from them.

they let me walk around and select dresses I liked while they checked out my pictures. My stylist picked out a few more dresses that she thought I would like and put all the dresses in a dressing room. She allowed me privacy and helped me get into the dress/fitted it with clamps when I was ready. She was extremely patient, understanding, and personable. I found a dress that I absolutely adore, but I still have a few more appointments at other salons. So I was not ready to purchase the dress the same day. Before I left, my stylist gave me a card with all of the information about the dress I loved (designer, name, price) and told me that whenever I was ready, she would assist me in my purchase. I didn't feel pressured or overwhelmed. I truly had a great experience here and would love to do business with this salon!

s dresses. Wedding Belles is the CUTEST shop on Magazine Street, within walking distance to a bunch of great restaurants. The store's staff immediately welcomed us and were really helpful! I had some vague ideas about color and style for the dresses, and Sophia understood what I was going for right away and suggested the absolutely perfect dresses. I wanted a little variety, and she found a dress that came in three different styles that all went together but let each bridesmaid pick her own. My bridesmaids and I had a great time at the shop and it was one of the easiest parts of the wedding process! Thank you Wedding Belles!

h so much about one dress, maybe it wasn't the one. She was right, and the dress I purchased was absolutely perfect. The alterations process was also very very pleasant!

e did a beautiful job!

s, Vinnie, works wonders and has a fantastic eye to truly make the dress "yours". I felt right at home every time I went in!

coordinating collecting measurements and getting my bridal party squared away (without me having to handle) to simply just being patient every single time I went into the store for a fitting or concern. These girls NAILED IT! Katie was my primary point of contact and having already been a bride herself, she gets it! I had been to at least 8 stores prior to Wedding Belles and they all had their positives, but for me, it was my trip to Wedding Belles that sealed the deal. I highly recommend checking it out and hope nothing but the best for all future brides looking for their dream gown! Cheers!

long sleeved dress with what I envisioned as having an interesting back. It was quite difficult to find long sleeved dresses in New Orleans, I suppose most people do not want long sleeves with the heat we have! Sophia helped me and asked a little about my wedding and what I was looking for in a wedding dress. She pulled several dresses for me and ended up guiding me to my wedding dress! I did not buy my wedding dress the first time I tried it on so I would have some time to think about it since it is such a large purchase. Sophia was never pushy and was completely understanding of taking time to think it over. When I returned the second time, Sophia was still as gracious as the first time and we ended up ordering my wedding dress that day. Wedding Belles is special to me because it provided such an intimate and personal experience in finding my wedding dress. I had visited other stores where it was packed with people and had brides shuffling through fighting over mirrors, which definitely takes away from the whole moment!! I had tried on so many other dresses that were all missing something, but at Wedding Belles it is clear all the dresses are high quality. The boutique has so many other dresses that would be stunning for various styles of weddings. Also, I noticed that every time we visited the boutique there were always the two same employees working. I think this is important because it creates a consistency of an experience for multiple customers and adds to the personal feel they are able to create. Overall, I would buy my wedding dress from Wedding Belles over and over again and will definitely recommend them to other brides!! Thank you for helping me find my dream dress!!!

Wedding Belles!

so that each bridesmaid could have a unique top. Katie was most helpful at all of the appointments and I love that they have a seamstress who works out of the store. Vinnie is a miracle worker! I had two junior bridesmaids buy adult size dresses and she altered them tremendously to fit and to look appropriate for their age. Love them at Wedding Belles!

d it was so helpful to be able to keep my dress there until the weekend of the wedding so it could be steamed and was hanging properly and safely from prying eyes! Their recommended seamstress, Vinnie, was a pleasure to work with too. Highly recommend stopping in (or make an appointment) for any NOLA bride! Thanks y'all! Ashley

in the same color scheme, and it was so easy to do at this boutique. Unfortunately I was unable to find my wedding gown here, but I happily worked with the boutique to get all my out of town bridesmaids their dresses. They do charge a $20 shipping fee which I find a little steep, maybe you or your maid of honor could pick them up and ship them yourself (wish I would have done this). And the biggest complaint from my girls is that the dresses were ordered DRAMATICALLY too large. For example, my maid of honor, who is a 2 or a 4, they ordered her a size 12. She ended up paying for alterations that were just as expensive as the dress. Tell your bridesmaids to speak up and not let them order it so large!! I know it is to be safe, but at some point you end up changing the construction of the dress just to make it fit. Overall, I cannot complain about the service, they are absolutely delightful to work with, but I feel badly for my bridesmaids who could have been sized better.

on and the staff is super friendly. I loved Katie- she was very helpful and sweet.

es as a back up. It was a match made in heaven! I wound up with two appointments, one with my MOHs & a friend, and the 2nd with my mother. The women who own and run the shop were so attentive, professional, and helpful without trying to push any particular dress on me. They are a small shop but I was amazed at the wide variety of styles they had. I fell in love with one of their primary designers, Amy Kuschel. In fact, without knowing it, 7 of the 8 dresses I initially picked were by her. Made in the USA so the lead time is a bit shorter than some of the other dresses I came across. I also loved the idea of a small, independent designer. She is based in San Francisco, which is where the dresses are made. I finally narrowed my choices down to 5 and I honestly would have been completely happy with ALL of them. In any case, the shop is tastefully appointed, the service is excellent, and the vibe is relaxed and elegant. I felt like I just wanted to hang out there and watch other brides try on all of the beautiful gowns but I had to get out of there b/c I kept finding more gorgeous ones I wanted to try on! When I came back with my mother, we actually found her MOB dress there as well. She was thrilled. We are also purchasing our bridesmaid's dresses from the shop as they have a beautiful selection of styles and colors. I would recommend this shop to all brides, it's a real gem.

r than other salons and I wanted to get my money's worth. Years later, ended up dealing with them after ordering a bridesmaid's dress through them... 3 weeks after ordering, since it was nearly a year till the wedding and the dress was backordered when I placed the order, I asked them to try to cancel/ postpone with the manufacturer or change the size I'd ordered because I found out I was expecting and knew I wouldn't be a 0 anymore. I could NOT have gotten ruder service, seriously a woman can only bite her lip through so many 'Zero refunds, don't care what the circumstance is, totally wishing you a safe pregnancy though!!" comments... I cannot believe the spite and several comments of the owner, not a nice lady. So, brides-- please, for the love of God, order your dresses straight through the designer or through a store that allows partial refunds or at least has friendly service. It is VERY common to have someone in your bridal party (or even the bride!!) need to change sizes for a number of reasons, so work with a store that will give you some flexibility- even if just the chance to order the item in another size. There are many great bridal shops in NOLA who will work with you, go there. Your best friends will thank you! And God forbid it's the wedding gown you need to pay out of pocket to order in a new size... Edited to add, because I can't comment below, but this comment from the owner is simply a lie, as stated I called 3 wks after placing the order and simply asked for a partial refund OR to change the size of the dress I had ordered. They were COMPLETELY unwilling to work with me in ANY way. Once you swipe your card expect the service and faux smiles to stop. Funny she managed to respond to my review so quickly when I waited weeks for her to get back to the emails haha... Hoping they improve service but until they do stay away ladies.

ing no idea what type of the dress I wanted and came out with a dress that I not only loved but looked good on my body type. I highly recommend this place! And the seamstress is amazing! She made my dress fit perfectly!

was exactly what I was looking for. I'm from out of town and Amy ensured that the entire process of fitting me and getting the dress to me in Virginia all worked incredibly smoothly. She even helped me find a seamstress in Virginia. The little details really made Wedding Belles stand out - handwritten notes, a little gift with the dress, and champagne during the fitting. A fabulous experience overall!

friend was helping me than a pushy sales person. The girls are very knowledgeable and explain everything from the fabric to the shape of the dress. I ended up saying YES TO THE DRESS, twice!! They were sooo great to work with. We also purchased the bridesmaids dresses there, and it was such an easy process. All I had to do was choose the dress and they got in touch with all the bridesmaids with the order information. I would highly highly recommend them.

h! I bought my dress, belt and all of my hair accessories from them because they literally helped me find exactly what I was looking for! Amy and the girls there are AMAZING and they had the best and most beautiful dress selection in New Orleans!

me that I did not get my wedding dress from them. They were great to work with in ordering the bridesmaids dresses - I hardly had to do anything! They worked with all the bridesmaids to get the right size dress (one was pregnant with twins, one had a baby a month before the wedding, one had a baby a week before the wedding, and one was due the week of th wedding and did not know if she would still be pregnant or have had the baby by the time the wedding came around!). We had also chosen different styles of dresses for each girl, which added a little more complexity. Katie was great to work with, and made everything so easy. Everything was fantastic! We could have gotten the same dress from several other places in town, but Wedding Belles, by far, was the best choice.

f were either very nice but not very informed as to what the processes are & product info OR were short with me and borderline rude on a few different occasions. I ended up paying more than I was originally quoted, which is likely the cause of having worked with three different sales people. The first girl was nice & informed of all products, but she was only there for the 1st meeting. the second girl I worked with was the most friendly but she didn't know very much about products, pricing, or procedures. I believe that they tried to fix that problem by then having the owner handle my account, but i still ran into a few problems and the total was more than the 2nd girl quoted me. I feel like a 2nd quote would have clarified things but the owner seemed busy & overwhelmed each time I spoke with her...or maybe it was just that she didn't like me...i couldn't tell either way. All-in-all, my invitations are beautiful but it was a messy, stressful experience, which isn't what stressed brides really need. Also, because of all the issues, I got my invitations 1-2 weeks later than I wanted. Hopefully, my experience was out of the ordinary.
