I've been in two wedding parties that used Bella Bridesmaids and I just have to say that it has a really convenient business model. They are available in all major cities throughout the United States, so even though the bridal party I was part of couldn't all be together at the same time, we each had similar experiences at our respective locations. After our party and bride made our decisions, the ordering process was seamless!!! The customer service at the OC location, where I had my experience, was phenomenal. The stylists are genuine, knowledgeable, and will do whatever they can to ensure you have the best experience. They know what they are doing so I found it best to just trust them. The hardest part is making the decision as they have a lot of gowns to choose from! If you happen to have a very decisive bride then the experience is even that much easier. Needless to say, I am definitely recommending Bella Bridesmaids to any of my friends getting married in the future. read more

*Update 9/8/23* I was refunded the $30 appointment fee after 5 months, multiple calls and a visit in person to pick up my dress. Honestly spent way too much time trying to get my $30 back, but it was the principle for me. Luckily my dress was fine, but still don't recommend this place to anyone. I started talking to other girl friends about this place and multiple people told me they experienced some kind of issue here. Wrong dress size ordered, wrong color and my same issue with the refund. Save yourself the hassle and order the bridesmaid dress online. Original review: I made an appointment, paid the $30 for the appointment. I purchased a dress during that appointment. I was advised the $30 would be REFUNDED to my card and not applied to my order. I thought that was odd, but okay. The website states "The $30 fitting fee is included in the dress price if you decided to purchase the dress with Us. :)" Well here we are 4 months later and I still haven't been refunded. Same as another bridesmaid in the bridal party. I have spoken to the same girl at the store twice about this matter and she just keeps saying she's going to talk to accounting. This $30 appointment fee is a scam!!! read more

Our bridesmaids dresses turned out perfect for the wedding we were apart of. They had the exact designer and style we were looking for in addition to the color. Courtney was so helpful and is amazing at what she does!! It's such a beautiful shop with lots of options to offer. I will be going back for any future needs! read more

If I could give the place no stars I would. I ordered my dress back in September of 2023 for more than $300 it is now end of Feb 2024 and my dress still has not been shipped. It's extremely difficult to get in touch with anyone who works for this company. Do not get a dress from here! read more

I canceled my bridesmaids dresses prior to approving the purchases. They informed me that the bridesmaids would get a refund within 14 days and still they have yet to receive it back. They told me that they would contact accounting and have them call me but still nothing. If anyone knows their corporate number please leave in comments below, I would really like to let them know how unacceptable this is and the fact that you need to call over 10 times till they answer. Even if you leave a voicemail they don't get back to you. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The store is very pretty and quant, not as overwhelming as other bridal dress stores can be. It was located on this cute little street that had upscale vibes. The bride as running late and so where a couple others since everyone was coming from different directions, but the ladies working didn't hold it against us. The assistant pulled all the dresses that came in the color the bride had picked. Four bridesmaids in and out of the dressing rooms, trying, adjusting and fitting in to about six to eight different options. The dresses were a bit over priced, but aren't all bridesmaids dress? Over all it was wonderful experience, feeling like we had the place to ourselves and allowing the bride to tell us what she liked. Also, Bella Bridesmaids set up an online show room where we can all review the top dresses we picked...nice touch. read more

TERRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE CONSIDER A DIFFERENT LOCATION OR VENDOR! LACK OF COMMUNICATION, AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE I ordered a dress and was told I should receive it in 6 months or less. After 6 months, I had not heard from the store about the updates on my dress, I tried contacting them MULTIPLE times and through email and phone, without being able to reach them or hearing back. I then contacted the designer directly to get help, and they were able to get a hold of Bella Bridesmaids on my behalf. It wasn't until I reached out to the designer that I finally heard from Bella Bridesmaids. They didn't even bother to apologize or explain why my dress was so late. When I originally ordered my dress, I was advised to order a size 6. I tried on the dress when I got it, and it fits MASSIVE. My measurements haven't changed much since I ordered it. At least I can get it take in. But worst place ever! read more

I had an idea for my bridesmaids that I wanted them to wear a patterned dress, but it was so hard to find ones that weren't overwhelming. I found the perfect ones, Jenny Yoo, in Blush Watercolor. Courtney was AMAZING to work with. She was responsive every time I called the store to ask questions, or through email. She was so sweet in person and made sure she had all the dresses pulled that I wanted my maids to try. When they tried on the Jenny Yoo dress, I cried because it was just what I was looking for (I didn't even cry at my own wedding dress- HA!). The ordering process was easy. 2 of my bridesmaids live across the country and they were able to go to our online showroom and view the different styles and vote on which ones they liked best. The dresses arrived on time and everyone in my bridal party loved them. Now, almost a year later, I am going to be a bridesmaid for one of my then bridesmaids, and she wanted to check out Bella. I called to inquire about a dress and Courtney REMEMBERED me! How nice?! I would highly recommend Bella Bridesmaids! read more

Check out BHLDN or designers direct websites before ordering from Bella. You can get your dress from most places in less than two weeks time in standard sizing whereas Bella takes months. Even with Bella taking your exact measurements your dress still won't be a perfect fit. This is my second time purchasing a dress from here and I'm disappointed with their products as well as their lack of understanding in customer service when we're in unprecedented times. I will not be ordering my dresses here for my wedding later this year nor recommending them to any of my future brides. read more

First off, the other negative reviews are not fake. This store has thee WORST customer service skills. Not only will they not apologize for a scheduling mix-up, they'll give you attitude and guarantee a negative word of mouth. The posted hours are a crock. They're appointment only, but when a GF called to make an appointment half an hour before their quoted closing time, they never called her back. The next morning they said they could see our party at 1pm. When we showed up, another bridal party was there & they said it was running over...and asked if we wanted to wait for the dressing room. My GF said that's why we had made an appointment. It was the body language & tone from the staff that we knew we were in for a treat. Staffzilla, much? 20 mins later, we had 1 of the 2 available to us. The staff could not bother to show us the dress variations but referred us to "look up the links online." After saying that she would show us. Way to give paying customers the cold shoulder because you're trying to get more potential clients! The dress variety is there...if nothing else, try it on & make a note of the designer & color. Our bridesmaid dresses are actually sold through Nordstroms' for the same $ but their staff is professional & their hours of operation is consistent. AND they won't charge a $50 rush fee per dress to ensure it gets there on time. 2 months is a rush?! Bogus. read more

Bella Bridesmaids - You can tell from the body language that its not going well. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Newport, California

I'm so happy I worked with Bella Bridesmaids OC for my wedding. The store has a large selection and they are so knowledgeable about the different brands and colors available. It can be overwhelming if you don't have a good sales person helping you. They were so helpful in reining in my vision (which turns out wouldn't have worked at all) and guided me in a direction that was perfect! They let all 8 of my girls try on multiple styles of dresses to fit many different body types and provided their thoughts but they weren't pushy at all. I felt like they truly wanted everyone to be happy. They made the ordering process very easy. They took everyone's measurements, created a profile for my wedding using their online platform which stored the dress selection and size for each bridesmaid. The girls ordered the dress straight from their platform. As the bride I could go in and see who had purchased their dresses and who I needed to give a gentle nudge (there's always one). The dresses came in the time quoted and the quality was great. My girls thanked me for selecting dresses they could wear again. read more

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS STORE!!! My wedding was the beginning of May 2022. 8 bridesmaids dresses were purchased from Bella Bridesmaids in January 2022 and delivered about a month before my wedding. When they arrived they were the wrong color. Our order was for champagne/light tan dresses and what we got was a peach color. I returned all 8 dresses 4/9/22 and was told I needed to wait to see if the designer would approve a refund. Wait?!? My wedding was in less than a month! We had to scramble to order, deliver and get alterations for 8 dresses! All without having received a refund yet! Fast forward to 4/29/22, after countless unanswered calls & emails, I finally received an email stating that they'd start processing everyones individual refunds. It is now 5/19/22 and only 2 of the 8 refunds have been processed. I've called & emailed the store dozens of times since 4/29/22 and have heard nothing! Do not expect this store to communicate with you in a timely manner after you pay them! At this point I can only hope they do the right thing and refund our entire order. If not, I will have no other choice but to take further action. However, NOTHING will make up for the time I have wasted attempting to contact them, the stress I've felt & lack of professionalism I have received. I repeat, DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS STORE!!! read more

Got all my bridesmaids dresses from this shop and they were BEAUTIFUL!! Everyone loved their dresses and looked amazing on wedding day! Courtney is great and so so sweet! I will definitely be coming back if I need a bridesmaid dress or any formal dress!! Thank you so much BELLA BRIDESMAIDS!! read more

So pleased with my Bella Bridesmaid experience. I could not be happier. I came with five of my eight bridesmaids and found the perfect dress at the first visit. The ladies who helped us were so friendly and nice. Fabulous selection. They also helped me pick out the perfect color to match what ended up being an alabaster and pink wedding dress. We went with cream, which felt a little risky at the time but was ultimately perfection!!! The process is super easy at Bella. Everyone logs in and inputs their details in the online showroom and as a bride you have access to the progress on the order. You also get a discount is everyone orders on time, which is a good incentive for your friends to get the ball rolling. So perfect!!!! The follow up was amazing - especially with eight bridesmaids it's was such a relief they ensured all the orders came in on Rome/ I couldn't be happier with the ease of experience, service, and quality of the final product. read more

Bella Bridesmaid is the best! I have used them multiple times (both as a bridesmaids and now as bride) and have had amazing experiences each time. As a bride, they were super helpful helping me come up with a color and style mix I wanted. I had bridemaids all over the country and they helped make it easy for all of them to make appointments and orders. During a pandemic world, I know alot of brides have had issues getting dresses on time. This was not case for me and Bella did a great job at having us order on time to make sure we got dresses before wedding. read more

Wish we would have seen these reviews before purchasing. Ordered one color, received a different color. A month later, we are still waiting on a refund and the store won't respond to us. Shocked that this is located in a prime location in CDM, not sure how they are still in business. read more

Please do not visit this place. I thought that by being in Newport Beach, I'd get outstanding service, but I should have listened to the reviews. I ordered my bridesmaid dresses two months ago. I got a call today and 3/6 bridesmaid dresses came in blush. I ordered black. How does this even happen? read more

Read many of the other reviews, and you will quickly get a sense of my disappointment and frustration at the complete lack of professionalism and customer service at this establishment. My fellow bridesmaids and I ordered dresses for a friend's wedding back in spring of this year for a December wedding. The dresses were promised by the end of September. When September came and went without us receiving our dresses, my friend, the bride, reached out to find out an ETA--only to learn that there was no guarantee the dresses would be ready in time. She requested a refund for all our dresses; no bride nor her bridal party wants to wait and see what will happen, so we needed to look at other options. Weeks later, none of us has received a refund, and the store is unresponsive to calls and emails. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your bridal party needs. read more

Go somewhere else. We ordered bridesmaids dresses almost 9 months in advance of the wedding and were notified with only about a month and half before the wedding date they would not be delivering our dresses in time. It's been over a month and still no refunds have been given out to any of the girls in the wedding party and none of us can even get someone from the company to respond with when we will be getting a refund. Unprofessional and unacceptable. read more

Horrible place to buy bridesmaid dresses, I ordered my dress over 7 months ago and my niece's wedding is in 10 days and still have not received my dress!!! Do not order from here, there's a good chance my dress won't even come and my niece's wedding will be ruined because BELLA BRIDESMAIDS COULDN'T get their dresses in on time!! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM HERE! Worst customer service ever too! read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Never answer the phones! Ordered dresses for my daughters wedding over 7 months ago!!! The employees are UNPROFESSIONAL AND DO NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOU OR YOUR WEDDING GO SOMEWHERE that will make your day wonderful and will treat you like you deserve to be treated!!! This place should not be in business for weddings! read more

My experience here was terrible. So much time spent taking measurements for a perfect dress, but perfect was the opposite of what i got. After picking out your dress you have to go online...make sure you write down the measurements that were taken in the store because you need to re-enter online yourself (waste of time and doesn't make sense). They pressure you for payment, but if you have a concern they are no where to be found. I received my dress 2 weeks before the wedding and the dress was not altered...it was bigger when delivered than it was in the store. There was no time for alterations and the dress looked terrible in the wedding. An e-mail was sent to the store, but they don't have enough customer service to even respond. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

Bella Bridesmaids - This was the dress with heels on...EMBARRASSING - Women's Clothing Near Me - Newport, California

Hi- this was a terrible experience. This show room has LIMITED sizes to try on. I am post-baby normal size 8/10 and they barley had anything that remotely fit. So it was impossible to tell what would look good on a final order dress that you get in 5 months. The staff was so unhelpful and told me they only have "sample sizes". I even had sent an email prior to the appointment with what I was specifically looking for and they said they would have styles ready. What a joke giving me a size 2 dress to try on. There was also zero help/problem solving to help us find something that would work. I had been to a different Bella's store in LA for a different wedding a few years back and it was so much better. I do not recommend this location. What an unpleasant experience. read more

Bella Bridesmaid OC & Courtney, the owner, were a dream to work with! I had 10 bridesmaids, which is never easy but Courtney handled everything so well & professionally. I came in 3 separate times with different groups of girls & they were all so happy with the experience. Each bridesmaid could choose a different style of dress & Bella OC had so many options for them to try on. Also, I had two out of state bridesmaids and they received their dresses in plenty of time. Since being a Bella Bride, I have also ordered bridesmaids dresses from the OC location for myself & I'm continuously beyond happy with my experience & quality of dresses. Look no further than Bella OC if you want a wide selection of designer dresses & great customer service. Thank you again Bella OC & Courtney. read more

They don't pick up the phone or ever get back to you. Pressured me to sign the contract with a delayed arrival date (of may) I said no because I needed the dresses sooner and the lady working said the contract doesn't matter to just go ahead and sign and we would get the order in March at the latest. (We went in in November) and the lady was really nice and said this happens all the time but she trusts the vendor and they have a great relationship! Against my better judgement, I signed and the dresses came at the very end of May. Some people chose to have it shipped to them and dress shipped to the store and others chose to pick up and they shipped to their houses. One of the bridesmaids got the wrong size. Overall very little attention to detail and terrible service. The lady working there who I believe is the owner turned not so nice in the end. The day before the dresses arrived she said: if the dresses don't arrive by tomorrow we will do some sort of compensation for your bridesmaids! And magically the dresses arrived and she basically said too bad. Obviously she knew the dresses would be arriving but kept saying she was at the mercy of the vendor. Lastly, my friends are getting married in November and we had made an appointment to go in end of July and the lady told them they can definitely accommodate their wedding aka dresses would arrive in less than 4 months she said actually 2.5 to 3.... (My dresses took 7 months) and she said they could definitely accommodate them! Luckily they cancelled our appointment and we got our dresses somewhere else. Go somewhere else for your dresses!!! Seriously run from this place: read more

Courtney was very helpful today with helping me select bridesmaid dresses that fit my look with the color and pockets. She was very honest with how the dresses would hit the body and was able to help me pick dresses that my bridesmaids are going to look amazing in. read more

Me and my bridesmaids went to Bella in NYC to get their dresses and had an amazing experience. The owner contacted me prior to our apt to get a good idea of what I was envisioning and when we got to the store they had the dresses pulled out and ready to go so there was no wasting time. Each girl was able to try on whatever style they wanted and also could choose a different color if they wanted. Bella made everything customizable and also made sure to have us purchase when the designer was offering a sale. My fiance is active duty and on top of the sale already being applied they gave each girl a military discount toward their dress. 10/10 would recommend to every bride. Not only was I happy but each one of my bridemaids were and that mattered the most to me! read more

I absolutely loved working with Bella bridesmaids! Courtney was so easy to work with - She helped me find the perfect dresses for my wedding , and she made my bridesmaids feel incredibly comfortable making the process seamless! I highly would recommend Bella Bridesmaids for any wedding - they have such a beautiful variety and options for all types of women's! read more

Bella bridesmaid does not get back to their customers. I have been leaving messages and do not get response. I finally emailed and they responded saying they are so busy in appointments and that my dresses are on schedule for 1/31-2/5 but the delivery that was said by Courtney was 1/20. If they are not capable of answering their current customers then they shouldnt accept new ones. I even double checked that dresses would be on time because a lot of reviews talk about how they're not on time. Courtney should not guarantee things that are not with in her reach. Designers should also be mindful selling to this store as they make them look unreliable and bad. Edited to add: my dresses are all in, they are a week late but I am happy they came before the wedding with enough time to alter. Unfortunately the timeline was disappointing as it wasn't accurate but the selection is nice. I suggest giving a different weeding date so who have time to cushion if they're late or don't fit. read more

Awful service. Called and used their website to request an appointment, never heard back. Easier to order directly from the designer.

I was struggling to find the right bridesmaids dresses due to the different in sizes for my girls. We went in person a this OC location and were able to try on many different styles. Due to covid, we did have issues with shipping and delays to receive the dresses. Thankfully, we received them in the knick of time and Courtney was great in communicating with me and rushing shipping from the designer/to my out of state girls. read more

The experience was fun.Coming here with 2 of my maids was quick and effortless. Courtney explained everything and was detailed with the dresses. We did experience a hiccup with the designer not having the dresses in the color ordered, however due to the inconvenience we were able to order a different style with a similar color, and the shop honored the same price. The location is clean and cute, perfect for some IG pics. I really liked that they measure you for exact fitting, if you don't listen you will not fit in your dress, it's not that same as your regular street size. Take into consideration the material chosen.Pay attention! This happened to one of my maids she looked a hot mess on my wedding day! They do not alter your dress. They will recommend a seamstress or you can go on your own. Also pick up is feee or having it delivered to your home is additional.Anyhow, after fitting the majority of the service is done online virtually, so if you have out of state maids they can login and share the experience too. Overall a good retailer. Tip: I wouldn't bring kids, ladies I brought my baby neice who's a good baby but if my 4 yr old would have been with me he would have been touching and running, the place is to small and shopping in peace is the way to be :) anyhow thanks for the service Bellas Bridesmaids. read more

Bella Bridesmaids OC has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I received my Jenny Yoo dress for my sisters wedding, and when I took it in for alterations, my seamstress told me that the wrinkles were due to the dress being made incorrectly. This dress in particular had 3 layers of fabric and the middle layer was cut too large in comparison to the outer layers, so when worn it created large ripples through the entire top half. This is unacceptable for a $300 dress. I followed up with Jenny Yoo immediately and was informed that I needed to work through Bella Bridesmaids for any sort of refund or reimbursement. I spoke with a representative at Bella Bridesmaids, provided photos and waited patiently. When I finally heard back they (and Jenny Yoo) told me that the dress was too big and needed to be steamed when in fact it fit perfectly. To appease them, I had the seamstress pin my dress in each location they said it was too large and took additional photos. This did not fix the issue and I let Bella Bridesmaids know that I expected some form of compensation in return. Last I heard, Bella Bridesmaids said that they were working with Jenny Yoo to see what could be done, as my sisters wedding date had come and gone. I've left 3 voicemails, and have sent 3 emails over the past month and a half and ZERO responses. Not a call, a voicemail, or even an email. I ended up having to pay almost 50% of my dress value in alterations and we were still unable to fully resolve read more

We ordered Hayley Paige bridesmaids dresses from Bella Bridesmaids for our wedding in April 2021. The store had a wide selection of dresses. My bridesmaids and I utilized their online poll tool to select which dress everyone wanted to wear. When it came time to order them, Bella Bridesmaids made it difficult. Instead of shipping the dresses to the respective stores for pick up, the dresses had to be sent to the store I ordered from, then shipped out, which was an additional cost and delay. This instance, and a few others, made it inconvenient to work with them. However, the dresses looked stunning on my bridesmaids of all heights and build-for that I am grateful! read more

I couldn't be more in love with this business!. I have two bridesmaids here in Orange County, and I have three more bridesmaids in St.Louis, MO. The fact that the girls are literally 2,000 miles apart didn't even seem to phase these wonderful girls at Bella Bridesmaids! They have been nothing less than helpful, and kind. I visited the store here in Corona Del Mar, as well as a store in St. Louis, and both locations are great. The lady working at their STL boutique did what they called a "complementary fitting", and emailed all of the info to the Orange County boutique. It was all very simple and stress free. I then ordered the five dresses from this location. I usually call and leave a message, and I am called or emailed back promptly. I love how they make me feel like their only client. Yes, the dresses are a tad bit pricy (my girls' dresses are $270 each), but, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I would much rather come here and get wonderful service and beautiful, well made dresses, instead of going some place like David's Bridal. I am buying all the dresses myself for my bridesmaids as a gift, so, it was very important to me that the dresses were one of a kind and made beautifully. They have tons of options and are always getting new choices in. So, I'm sure you will find more than one style you love here! (The dresses are supposed to arrive within the next month, and I will be sure to update.) read more

Kimberly at Bella Bridesmaids in OC was a dream to work with! I was referred to them from a colleague, who said they have an unbelievable selection of designer dresses and even offer group discount codes. I was already in love with the Jenny Yoo Inesse dress (in the Sage/Ivory/Floral print), and Kimberly assured me they could get my order in by my wedding date. The dresses actually came early, were even more beautiful than the samples the girls had tried on at other stores, and I came to understand first-hand how important it is to have the dresses all cut from the same cloth/dye factory (it really makes a difference!!!). Several of my friends have also ordered bridesmaid dresses through you because I told them how amazing and easy it was, I actually just got a dress in the mail for a wedding I am in this October from the Bella DC location :) Thanks again!! read more
