I had such a good experience shopping for a dress here! Alexa did a great job listening to what I was looking for and pulling dresses. I fell in love with a dress, but left to go to a second appointment. They let me come back later in the day to try it on again, which sealed it for me! I would definitely recommend. read more

My Bliss Bridal experience was amazing all because of Emily Peterson. Emily really knows her stuff, you can tell she is passionate about what she does. She answered all my questions with confidence and was very knowledgeable about wedding dresses and even the process of tailoring. I would absolutely recommend Bliss bridal to friends. read more

My experience at Bliss Bridal has been awesome so far! I went in unsure of what I was looking for, and Emma helped me pick the perfect dress. She was super patient and helpful and paid attention to all the details. Throughout my appointment, Alexa routinely checked in and even made a few phone calls to the designer when I had questions about altering the design of the dress. The ladies at Bliss Bridal were extremely attentive and made my experience super stress-free. Bliss Bridal also gets bonus points for not having an appointment fee :) read more

I had an amazing experience at Bliss Bridal with the help of Emma! It's a few months out from my wedding and I decided to try on dresses alone during their $500 sample sale. I felt like I was given agency to voice what I like and don't like, and Emma responded with ideas and options for dresses. She was very positive, encouraging, and made me feel at ease. I walked away with a steal of a dress that makes me feel amazing and made me get even more excited to get married to my best friend! Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, and genuine. I appreciated the sweet thank you card mailed to me to wish me luck on my wedding! Truly an incredible experience all around. read more

Not transparent business. My finance had a really bad experience, never saw her so disappointed for a service in New Orleans.

Misty is the best! Clean store, no appointment charge-- so worth it! Went twice to look around and the second time I got my dream dress. Such a great time. read more

My experience with Bliss Bridal was nothing short of amazing!! My stylist Alexa was so friendly and helpful in my search for the perfect dress. I cannot thank her enough for the best experience possible and making everything go SO smoothly. The staff is beyond friendly, the dresses were clean and gorgeous, with a great selection that makes it feel impossible to not find something to love. I am so happy to be a Bliss Bride. read more

Alexa is incredibly rude and demeaning tone. Ruined by experience completely. Spoke down to me and my friend. Says a lot about a middle aged woman who speaks down to others to feel good about herself. Such a shame as there were pretty dresses and a pretty store. read more

Bliss Bridal is an absolutely stunning bridal boutique filled with a vast array of gorgeous gowns and accessories. When you enter Bliss, you're warmly welcomed to a cute little seating area and friendly staff. Lea and Katie assisted me today during my visit and were sweet as pie! Lea worked so hard to bring various gowns that matched both my tastes and my body shape/size, and didn't quit until I had found the perfect one! Prices are VERY reasonable and quality is high. Their dresses are all $2,000 and under, and honestly, I'm really shocked because most boutiques with this quality of gowns in big cities will charge big bucks. I love that Bliss caters to every bride and there is such a large selection of gowns. Another thing I loved about my visit was that parking was so easy to find and very inexpensive. Street parking was available right in front of the shop - 2 hour max for only $4! Less time costs less than that. Literally a huge win for someone like me who doesn't like a whole lot of driving on busy streets! The shop itself is very clean and pretty, and I love the location tucked away in the lower garden district. It's cuddled up next to blocks and blocks of fun boutiques and restaurants... if I wasn't in a hurry to get home because of the rain, I would've spent more time exploring the area! Thanks Lea and Katie! Bliss is the BEST!!! read more

With it being my first time trying on wedding dresses, I was a tad nervous and worried about not knowing what I would want. I came in with the bare minimum as far as inspiration. I was assisted by James who was beyond knowledgeable of the dresses they had to offer. James listened to my likes and dislikes throughout the process and pulled me some dresses that fitted my wants and desires. It was truly a 10/10 experience! read more

We had a great experience shopping at Bliss bridal. Madeline was our assistant, and she was wonderful to work with, being patient and helpful and listening to my vision. They had a decent selection and great values. Ultimately, I ended up getting my dress somewhere else, but that was not at the fault of Bliss Bridal. Our experience there was excellent and I would recommend to other brides that it is worth stopping in for an appointment. read more

Horrible experience. They are not experienced enough to sell nor recommend wedding dresses. Charged $550 for alterations that were deplorable. Still fighting with them 8 days before my wedding. I had to buy a new dress from another shop as I have zero confidence in their seamstress, manager Alexis or the owner Katie. Do not buy from them. read more

Love that their dresses are not ridiculous prices unlike others in the city. I believe they try to only have dresses below two thousand. I found my wedding dress here, and the staff was great! read more

So disappointed. I was so excited when I bought my wedding dress from here, only to receive a dress that was way too small for me. They did not even attempt to fix the problem after measuring me completely wrong. Now I am stuck with a great wedding dress that will never fit me that I paid a bunch for. What a let down. And what bad business. read more

Bliss Bridal - be careful when you sign those papers with your measurements! Double and triple check that your size is perfect! - Bridal Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I had the best experience at Bliss Bridal! Connie was absolutely wonderful and made the process so easy, laid back and fun! She was so patient and really listened to our feedback as she pulled more options to try on. They had tons of dresses at every price point and never made you feel pressured into something outside of your budget or something you didn't absolutely love. I ended up finding my perfect dress and spending far less than I'd planned to! They also took all Covid procedures very seriously. We were the only ones in the shop during my appointment and felt so safe. I cannot recommend Bliss enough! read more

I was very disappointed by Bliss Bridal. The day I went to Bliss Bridal to pick out my dress, I told the sales person my budget including alterations, which was between $1,200 and $1,500. She told me that was totally doable and that the store offers alterations. They knew my budget and said they would accommodate me. I found my dress and scheduled my alteration appointment with Bliss Bridal once the dress came in. My dress cost about $1,300. After I got fitted they told me I had to pay in advance, and that the alterations cost OVER $800! I was so upset considering this was a very simple dress which required very basic alterations such as taking up the straps and hemming the bottom. I was so upset and humiliated as I told them before what my budget was and was told I could be accommodated. There were three or four sales people behind the counter frowning at me the whole time. They reduced it to just under $700... I was still unhappy but I'd already taken off of work and thought they would do a good job. I had to go back and forth for fittings three times after the initial fitting due to several issues. The first time, the hem at the bottom was totally uneven and the straps did not appear to be altered at all. The second time, the straps were so tight I could barely squeeze my arms through them, and the back of the dress was still uneven in a section. Also, there was a lot of bunching of material under my arms where it should have been flush. Also, where she had added a pad for the breast was sticking out... The third time I went in was the week before my wedding... I was so nervous and upset that the dress would not be ready and humiliated that I spent so much money and taken so much time off of work for these fittings. They only offer fittings in the middle of the week during the day. The dress fitted well enough but if I am going to be honest, I was not totally satisfied especially after seeing pictures of myself in the dress at my reception... The straps still did not sit flush and bunched at points. I felt extremely misled and had a lot of my time and money wasted. read more

Great until the finish line. Bliss bridal was great to work with in terms of choosing and getting my dress! They weren't pushy and when my dress was delayed, they called the dressmaker continuously until my dress arrived. The trouble came at the very end (and is still ongoing for me). For the alterations, the bridal shop recommended a seamstresses they work with. For a flat fee, I would get alterations at the bridal shop until my dress was ready. The alterations were pricey but, given my dress was a very large investment, I trusted they were working with quality professionals. I got duped. Actually, I think bliss bridal is being con'd as well. Many things are actually quite wrong with the alterations. However I didn't notice these things until I took the dress home. But I did notice at the shop that the bustle looked strange. When I pushed back, I was told that it was fine and all the dress needed was to be steamed. (Btw, my dress CANNOT be steamed and I was shocked professionals who should know dress material recommended it-i could have destroyed the fabric of my dress). ATTENTION: I was then forced to sign a letter "releasing" my dress. DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM. Even though I pushed back..they were aggressive and told me it was fine. Now, I could be a complete witch in the store and push back on them...but who does that? I was later told by friends and family that seamstresses should have steamed or ironed or press the dress before they even gave it back to me. When I took the dress home and inspected it I noticed several things. First off, they used very large, noticeable and tacky one cent buttons for the bustle. They didn't even bother to get buttons to match the dress. They used large (again, mismatched) thread to use to hook onto the buttons. And they threaded it THROUGH my dress, not along the seam like it's supposed to be. The buttons are misaligned to add insult to injury. There was also a tear in the seam of my dress I asked them to fix earlier. The woman said she forgot and that she would fix it. So as I took of the dress, she went into the dressing room and, without turning the dress inside out or using a sewing machine, she sewed up the tear FROM THE OUTSIDE while the dress was hanging on the hanger with a single thread. Obviously that's extremely unprofessional and not going to keep the tear closed. And you can see the thread. Now let's talk about bra cups. They sewed in ovals instead of tear drops, hanging it not only precariously on the previous cups, but also in such a way that you could see them from the sides of my dress. They also consequently pulled the dress the wrong way. Finally, the alterations in the front are of disgustingly poor quality- it looks shredded and bunched. See pictures below. The extra material sticks out and down. I will not be going back to have them fix it because...this is clearly the quality of their work. I called Bliss bridal to let them know what happened. They were, at first, proactive and asked if there was something they could do. I told them I'd like a refund for my alterations, as I now have to take my dress somewhere else. They asked if I could come in and show the seamstress my concerns and have them fix it. I ...seriously? They wanted me to trust the seamstress with "fixing" such poor quality that was clearly their best work very close to my wedding. I told them I'd bring in the dress to show them their errors but I would not let them touch it. I didn't hear back from them. We played telephone tag, with me calling more often than them. Since they had not gotten back to me, being mere weeks from my wedding, I took my dress to a renowned seamstress who had to undo their poor quality alterations. I told bliss bridal what the alterations cost me. They emailed me saying because I didn't bring in the dress to them, and because I signed a release they would not be refunding me or paying for the fixes. I can't tell you how horrible it is to see such botched work done to the one dress you invest in, dream about and, if anyone else is a having a large wedding, be the one thing you can look forward to being JUST YOURS. Please use a different seamstress. I paid over $1000 dollars for alterations in total. And bliss bridal? I hope karma takes over. read more

Full disclosure: I did not buy my dress here. However, of the 3 salons I went to, I had the be experience here! Connie was my stylist. She was extremely helpful in helping me find something in my style. The store claims to have dresses all under $2000 which fits my experience. I wear a size 8 which is like a size 12 in bridal gowns and all of the dresses had to be pinned on to me. Therefore, I would say that the stores is accommodating to average sized women. Additionally, they had an entire section for plus sized brides and a plus sized bride was being fitted while I was there. (She looked stunning!) My only disappointment was that I had called ahead to see if they had a particular dress I wanted to try on. They said they had it when I made an appointment. They had apparently shipped it to another store prior to my appointment. I never wound up finding that dress. Another small detraction was that they are a smaller boutique and therefore have a limited selection at any one time. Overall, I would make this the first stop if you're a nervous bride like me! They really educated me about the whole process and made me feel extremely comfortable. read more

I didn't have the best experience here. 1. They had 2 out of 24 dresses on my list of Bill Levkoff favorites list available to try on. Okay...not their fault. 2. They didn't let me shop the store. They just pulled the 2 from my list and put me in the changing area (which is open space in the lobby blocked off with curtain drapes that don't fully close, right in front of the waiting chairs. Where's the privacy?! 3. No one asked me my size. They just guessed. Come to find out the designer only sends salons "sample sizes" i.e. You better be a size 6 or you're out of luck! Of course they don't say this until I'm trying on a dress that won't go over my boobs. I'm a US size 10. 4. With nothing in a proper size to try on, I get dressed. The owner then tells me that they've begged the designer to send "bigger dresses because you can make a dress smaller by pinning it but if you have a bigger girl she can't get into the small dresses to see what they look like". While the example is true, I didn't feel great having zero dresses to try on and then being called BIG to my face. So again.....not a pleasant experience. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes. On a bright note, the owner took the time to show me color swatches by a different designer that might fit the wedding colors better. read more

Bliss Bridal - Outside - Bridal Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

See all

They have a huge selection of affordable dresses (under $3000)! The sales associates are so nice and Brooke did a great job at pulling dresses for me to try on. I knew exactly what I wanted and she was so patient with helping me find the one. They have alterations on site and the seamstress came out and showed me how things would fit to my body to give me a better visual of what I was going to look like on the wedding day. It was a pleasant experience and would highly recommend this boutique. Bonus points - We were offered champagne as soon as I walked through the door. read more

I purchased my wedding dress from here last year, and as someone who did not even want to try on dresses (just wanted to order one online, i know, i know), the experience was great. I wanted something simple, and I thought I would be lucky to like one or two that I tried on. I told the salesperson Brooke what I wanted (or mostly what I did NOT want) and she did such a great job of finding things that I liked - I couldn't believe that I liked almost every dress she picked out, plus a couple my MOH helped to find as well. I really was impressed with the experience and this was before they moved to their new location that is much bigger with nicer dressing rooms. Also, the wedding dresses are far more affordable than many of the equivalent shops in the area. read more

I am... not the girl who has always dreamed of her wedding. I met the woman of my dreams four years ago and proposed to her before the pandemic and have spent the last two years somewhat dreading the dress-shopping process. Then Ida hit and all of the shops I had appointments at closed. Bliss was the next option on my list. I was looking for something very specific -- not trendy, not ornate and that would fit me (size 16) and look right for a non-traditional gay wedding. Of course, I found a dress that could work on the clearance rack that had been discontinued and was not at all in my size. Alexa, my stylist, and the owner of the salon both convinced me that their tailor could work miracles and that I should take the risk. Three months later I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited that I did. Finally, now, I'm feeling the excitement about my dress that seemed to come naturally for many others. The dress is stunning, the staff at Bliss are magic, and I absolutely cannot wait to update this review with pictures. read more

My initial encounter was relatively positive, however I felt very misled. The day I went to Bliss Bridal to pick out my dress, I told the sales person my budget including alterations, which was between $1,200 and $1,500.

I was so upset considering this was a very simple dress which required very basic alterations such as taking up the straps and hemming the bottom. I was so upset and humiliated as I told them before what my budget was. They then told me "well we can go from a category 4* to a category 1* alteration" (I might have the categories mixed up not that it matters). There were three or four sales people behind the counter frowning at me the whole time. I felt so embarrassed. They reduced it to just under $700... I was still unhappy but I'd already taken off of work and thought they would do a good job. I had to go back and forth for fittings three times after the initial fitting due to several issues.

The straps still did not sit flush and bunched at points. If Bliss wants to charge a premium for alterations, the alterations should be of the highest quality. This was my reception dress, as I had a ceremony dress that I had altered at another location (which required way more work and only cost $250, I highly recommend Bee's Tailor in Kenner). I thought that since this was a nice store on Magazine Street I would not run into these kinds of problems. I felt extremely misled and had a lot of my time and money wasted. read more

DO NOT BUY BRIDESMAID DRESSES HERE. My 5 bridesmaids combined have incurred over $1500 in alteration fees because they were sent the wrong dress size. They phoned in their measurements, but I know tens of women who have phoned in measurements for David Levkoff dresses and never had this issue, including me. read more

Connie helped my friend with her first time trying dresses and she was such a star. We were a sillier and vocal group and she was incredibly accommodating and full of ideas. She was super supportive of a less traditional look and gave us great ideas without pressuring us to make any decisions today. Would totally recommend booking on a weekday and requesting Connie! read more
