Bella Bridal Gallery

I will keep it short & simple: I had the best experience here. So many different dresses to pick from & the lady helping me (plus her assistant) were the best & made me feel beautiful in every single dress. It was easy to tell them what I did or did not like & they made sure to listen. I did say yes to my dress & they made it such a special moment by dressing up the dress & dimming the lights. It was magical!

Had an amazing experience at Bella Bridal! I initially made an appointment because they carry Martina Liana dresses and I loved her line. I ended up trying on about 6-9 dresses while there and fell in love with the very last one I tried on. They were able to give me some ideas on how to customize it as I really wanted straps and it was a strapless dress.

I ended up buying the dress on the spot and canceled all of the rest of the appointments we had lined up. They made the process so easy and more importantly enjoyable/memorable. Thank you Bella Bridal!

This was a terrible experience wedding dress shopping which is a shame because I didn't think someone could make you feel the way my salesperson made me feel. The sales person, Hannah, was very pushy. It was supposed to be a 90 minute appointment and I was there for 40 minutes. She was forceful helping me to try on the dresses. I literally had each dress on for 2 minutes.

Then she was extremely pushy getting me to say yes to a dress that I had on for less than 5 minutes. She was all about the money not about the customer. I was nothing but nice too. Thankfully I told her no to buying a dress and left the appointment. According to all the other 1 star reviews for this store, it seems like she needs to be retrained in customer service. Even if I felt like that was my dress (which it wasn't), I wouldn't buy from this shop.

Horrid, rude scam artist owner. Pressure sales tactics and threatened by owner. How they are still in business with their customer service or better stated lack thereof is beyond me. Stay away from this place completely! Should be reported to the Better Business Bureau because they are abusive to their customers. Because we questioned things, they threatened to have us arrested if we came back

It's interesting to read the receipt and store tag that is on the dress mention a 60% down payment to order a dress yet when I went last year to shop for a dress I was told to pay in full that day or I wouldn't be able to order my dress. Either change your policies that are on the receipt and tag to reflect that you have to pay for the dress that day or be more flexible and do the 60% off like advertised. Alterations also were nearly the price of the dress. It didn't need anything taken in or drastically changed either to account for that price. I'll be having someone else alter it.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Abbi was phenomenal in helping me find my dream dress. She seemed genuinely interested the whole appointment and gave suggestions and honest opinions on what suited me and what didn't. I am a super indecisive person and this helped me so much. She was professional and made me feel so comfortable in the dressing room. Bella Bridal overall made the experience for my mom, my sister, and I, one to remember! :

Had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Chose a beautiful Martina Liana gown that was altered perfectly. They helped with everything from deciding on jewelry to my veil to my wedding hairstyle!

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. I went back in March of 2021, it was AWFUL. It felt like being at a car dealership, they didn't really care about me or the dresses - they just wanted to make a sale. They ripped them on and off me, took no care about the dress. Almost ripped my hair out with a zipper/buttons and never apologized. They tried to yank a dress down over my hips that was clearly not the right size.

And then was going to charge me more for a dress that I had found at another boutique. You should feel special at your wedding dress fitting and I just felt like a dollar sign. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. And the whole "you can't take pictures in here because of some rule with the designers"? BULLS***. Every other boutique that I went to allows pictures.

That itself should've been a red flag. It's so they can try to force you to make a decision right then and there. Disgusting. DO NOT GO HERE. DO go to Beloved Bridal in Ann Arbor. The girls there are AMAZING and make you feel so so special.

Loved working with the Bella Bridal team! This was the first boutique I went to and I was able to find my dream dress in the first visit! They offer a huge selection of dresses at affordable prices, and the staff are so pleasant! I highly recommend for any bride shopping for her big day!

I wish I would have read these reviews before making an appointment here. I was in town for a short period of time the day after Thanksgiving with my mom and sisters and wanted to go to a larger place that would have a lot of options. They did not tell me prior to my appointment that we couldn't take pictures- I never would have made the appointment.

They also tried to reschedule me last minute for a later time, which I asked them not to do as we had reservations afterward and they kept the original. The sales woman who helped me in and out of the dresses was very sweet. However the other one completely ruined the entire experience from the minute I walked in the door. I told her it was my first time trying on dresses and she immediately went into the "your wedding date is too close, you'll be lucky to find something." And from that moment on had an opinion about every dress and pushed me SO HARD to buy something I did not want telling me I would be heartbroken.

She also tried "we have 10 more appointments today." Which was a lie because there was not one other customer in the shop. With 90 min appointments already halfway through the day. do the math, they were not booked. I went in for a great experience with my mom and sisters and I left pissed off. What bridal shop doesn't allow pictures? Do not go here.

I loved my experience with Bella Bridal. The sales people were welcoming and showed a genuine interest in finding me the perfect dress. Additionally I had my alterations done in shop and it turned out perfect! I wore a strapless dress and didn't have to pull it up at all, it fit like a glove. I would recommend going to Bella Bridal.

Not just 5 stars but a full 10/10 in my book. I was nervous about going dress shopping and traveling over an hour just to look at dresses. I can't say this enough, come here and try on dresses. The ladies here are SO kind. They were cheaper than any other dress shop I had been to and didn't push themselves on me, which I appreciate so much. So easy to talk to and maid my dream dress come to life.

I chose an Essence of Australia dress and just fell in love with it from the get go. All my dress fitting were magical. I even got my hair piece from them. Everytime I came in they were so happy to see me and my mom and made sure I was comfortable in it. Can't tell you all enough but thank you so much!

I had the best experience at Bella Bridal! Every single employee is sooo kind! You can tell they really care about making your experience special! They made me feel like a princess. I got married this weekend and I couldn't have loved my dress more! I have been telling all of my engaged friends to get their dresses here and so far two of them have. They've also had a nothing but positive things to say!

I am soooo happy I found Bella Bridal! I knew I wanted a dress by either Martina Liana or Essence of Australia, both of which Bella Bridal carries. When I arrived for my first fitting, I showed Barbara some dress examples I found on the above mentioned designers. We then were able to pick out around 6 or so dresses that most resembled my dream dress, and that is where the fun began! Barbara and Sonia were super helpful helping me weigh the pros and cons of each dress I tried on.

I never once felt pressured to purchase a dress during the experience, and it felt like they genuinely cared about what I was going to feel most comfortable and confident in. My bridesmaids also found their dresses here, and they still talk about how much they love their dresses. Also shoutout to Clara for being able to tailor this dress and mega train of mine, as well as teach my maid of honors how to bustle it! I appreciate how sweet and patient the team is, and would definitely recommend them! Thank you so so much for helping me find my dream dress!

Zero stars, the owner is rude, unprofessional and a scam artist! We purchased a dress that was 3100 and were supposed to get the trunk show discount and a discount for buying the same day we ended up paying more than retail and when we questioned them about it they started going off on us. I will be contacting the designer and anyone else who will listen.

Thank you, Bella Bridal, for pulling through and setting me up with the most perfect and most beautiful gown. I had a last minute issue and 3 weeks before my wedding they squeezed me in for an appointment, helped me find a new dress, altered it to fit me perfectly, pressed and cleaned it, and provided this beautiful veil for me as well. The staff is absolutely amazing and my mom and I had the greatest time working with them! Thank you thank you thank you! PS It has pockets!

The owner is not very kind or thoughtful when it comes to your big day. She is more concerned with spouting off and providing false accusations. The bottom line is they took almost a $1000 for alterations, did an epic fail of a job and wants to blame the customer. Refuses to fix anything. Stated even losing a pound or 2 can make the dress too big. Their customer service skills are absent once you commit. Buyer beware, this is not the type of treatment you want prior to your wedding. So disappointed and heartbroken.

Not a fan This was the second dress shop I went to. The first place I went was good 'ole David's bridal. They asked me to fill out a questionnaire about what types of dresses I like before the appointment and had me save my favorite dresses to my profile so they could pull them when I got there. They let me put on my wedding shoes with the dress and take lots of photos so I could remember the dress.

So professional! Then, I come here to Bella Bridal and the minute i walk in i have to sign a contract that I won't take photos (what?!). Only asked what type of dresses I liked when I got there, then like someone else said, it was like a free for all filing through the dresses. The dress tags had no size, price, or style number on them. So you have no idea what you were stepping into.

Then she comes in the room with me as I'm changing (awkward). She wouldn't let me wear my shoes with the dress because she thought I was going to rip her dress (they were block heels not stilettos lol)Then, once I tried on one dress they took the other one I had just taken off out of the room and hung it right back up in the racks of dresses. Like, what if I wanted to try one on again?

Then we asked prices and they have us a "today only price". The best part. a few hours after I got home they sent me a text that first of all spelled my name totally wrong. Like they gave me a different name. Then they proceeded to say "I cant get over how gorgeous your figure looked in that dress! It was jaw-dropping " then told me to call and order.

First of all, get the name right of your client. Second, don't feel comfortable having someone say how "good my figure looked" in a dress, just so they can get a sale. Just an overall weird and not great experience.

This was first time trying on dresses and I was overall underwhelmed with the experience. Prior to the visit they didn't ask anything about what I was looking for, so it was pretty much a free for all of going through the dress racks to see what I wanted to try on. Once I tried on some dresses, instead of the customer service person allowing me to make my own decisions on the dresses, she often times gave her opinion about the dress and a couple times commented on how it didn't work for my body type.

My advice for her next time is ask the bride if she wants your advice on the dress (that's usually what her guests are for) The sales person should not be commenting on someone's body in my opinion. When we decided to not purchase the dress right away, the sales associate did not seem very happy and didn't even say goodbye to us as we walked out (she had already moved on to a new customer before we left). Nice dresses, just not a great experience.

I had an amazing experience! We went to another place before Bella and it was awful. We walked into Bella and immediately had the perfect vibe! We were able to try on what I thought I wanted as well as what I actually decided to go with and some not so great along the way! I am so glad they had the variety to ensure I was able to see everything! Tamara was amazing she made me feel confident and comfortable and knew my style! I felt like she and the rest of the girls knew me! They made my mom and maid of honor comfortable as well!

Had a friend go in and she is a size 16. Not big but bigger than most at almost 6 feet tall. Was made to feel like a monster as the attendant (with this treatment I wouldn't believe any other title would be appropriate) proclaims that "they don't have anything like that". After making her cry, and one of their "target size" women explaining that she needed a bigger size this shrew of a woman finally finds one.

If you'd like to be shamed for not being their target "size 00-8" demographic don't bother walking in. Head to the wedding shoppe in Berkley! She walked in for her wedding dress and they had a host of options! She found a perfect wedding dress the first visit and was able to actually have an employee listen and provide a dress in her size without having to fight for it.

I had a fantastic experience with Bella Bridal. Each time I went in I was treated with respect and care by every staff person who I encountered. Bella did my dress alterations as well and it turned out beautifully and fit like a glove. Thank you for making my dress shopping experience so magical!

So friendly and accommodating. They squeezed me in last minute when another store ruined my original dress. And helped me find a dress I love within 10 minutes. They were friendly and patient with me. Most of all very helpful! They went of my style I described and found something I love

I had such a wonderful experience at Bella Bridal. They were so accommodating to me and my entourage I found the perfect dress and I absolutely cannot wait until it arrives! I have visited two other bridal galleries and Bella Bridal blew me away with their knowledge and pressure free shopping experience. I never felt like I "had" to purchase a dress or like I was wasting the time of the sales consultant.

I ultimately decided to purchase my Martina Liana gown from Bella Bridal because they had an awesome trunk show going on and also offered me $300 off of the gown because it was my first appointment there and I was also the last appointment of the day I ended up saving about $800 on my gown when all was said and done

Went in here yesterday after finding them through Essence of Australia's website. They are the only store that shows up selling their gowns in Michigan. They didn't have any current dresses from the website. Even though they were having a "trunk show" as soon as I walked in the store I was handed a contract to not take any photos. Fine, whatever.

Then I wanted to start trying on dresses and the lady insisted she stand in the dressing room while I got undressed. I told her no and she stood in there anyways. I tried to cover myself with one hand and take off gowns with the other. I've never felt this uncomfortable before in a store. It's not like I was going to sneak a photo because they made sure my coat and phone were outside of the room.

I have been losing weight so I asked the women what size dresses I was trying on because they were all a bit big (great feeling) her response: sample gowns are all different sizes. Okay? But what am I trying on? No response. I found one dress I liked and it was a perfect fit. She said the dress was over $3500 but If I buy it right now it's $1100.

I explained this is my second stop and I need my mom and sister to see it. And since I can't show them a photo of me in it can they at least give me the style number so I can show them online. THEY REFUSED! TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE STYLE NUMBER OR NAME OF THE DRESS! Ladies. The dress was so old it's not on the designers website anymore. That's why the markdown was so heavy.

The last thing about this store is that there is a man sitting behind a two way mirror. He watches you model your gown outside of the fitting room. My best friend had to take her son to the bathroom and saw him sitting there. Ladies go somewhere else.

Beware stwy away from this evil store with lacking of respect, mannerless, conceited, and rude awakening bridal gallery! Definitely, I'll go to somewhere else to get my new bridal gown for reception with excellent service where ti it provides with great deal!

Avoid at all cost. My wedding was two years ago and I still cannot get over how this place ruined my wedding day. Dress and alterations all seemed to go well. I was happy until as I was walking down the aisle after getting married and standing in front of everyone for 30 some minutes my bridesmaid noticed they altered my dress with the wrong colored fabric.

I tried to talk to the shop about this by writing a letter expressing how upset I was after spending over $2000 on a dress with them. They never apologized and actually threatened to sue me for defamation. I realize the dress seemed to be perfect in the shop but as soon as you were in daylight you could see every alteration they did using the different colored fabric.

I was not as shocked about the error but how they handled it. I wouldn't risk your money here. There's plenty of great bridal shops in the area that won't threaten to sue you.
