Bahar is incredibly kind! She was helpful, and offered suggestions based on my style…read more Decor: There is a beautiful selection of gowns, some made by Bahar and some from designers like Essense of Australia. She has a selection of veils and accessories too. I didn't take pictures in the dressing room, but it was an elegant blue with a nice painting with gold fixtures. When you walk out there's a mirror wall and a white platform you can stand on. I'm months away from my wedding, so I won't post the actual dress I got, but her service was so phenomenal that I just had to post a review! I will be coming back in a few months for alterations.

One of Sophie's selected dresses was actually one of my favorites. Thank you Sophie for being such a very attentive person who really enjoys assisting others. I also appreciate the boutique having a seamstress onsite that is half the battle for me.

The Little Exchange in Oakwood is an old house turned into a boutique for unique home decor pieces,…read moreseasonal decorations, jewelery, baby items, and is a popular spot for bridal registries in the Dayton area. The best part of the Little Exchange is that all the employees are volunteers and all the profits proceed the Children's Medical Fund. And the store offers free gift wrapping for non-sale items! Overall, its kind of pricey, but every penny of profit goes to a good cause! Definitely worth coming by to check out if you're looking for a gift for someone and you want it to be meaningful in a couple of different ways.

This was my first time stopping in when they were holding Holiday Open House. It was so much fun!…read moreThere were sample drinks and snacks. The holiday decorations were gorgeous as usual. I just love this house to begin with but when it's Christmas time, it is so special. My favorite part is the fireplace in the dining room. They always have a great selection of items for sale. This time, I was able to snag a couple of items for Thanksgiving, an ornament for a gift and a Dayton magnet for my fridge. The women here are amazing. They are so friendly and helpful and just fun to hang out with! Add on to all this that its for the Dayton Children's Hospital--how can you go wrong?

Love me a good plant store! We were walking around the Oregon District and stopped by here…read more I saw lots of plants I already have but a few i kinda wanted but didn't buy. Lots of people in here buying plants though! Ver popular shop! My sister almost bought a plant poster but couldn't find the one she wanted. She got a cactus pin. I got me a mug because it had lots of plants on it. I also found a cute card with plants on it. Can't wait to return!

They made an arrangement for my sister today, to commemorate a personal anniversary that she and I share, a happy family event...and I just asked them to use their best discretion to make something lush and beautiful for her (because she is beautiful and unusual and special). She just got it and sent me a picture of it, and was beside herself; it is huge and GORGEOUS! Love supporting them as a small business, sure, but I'm a loyal customer now because of the tremendous quality of their work, their artistic eye and flair, and the excellent value!! Attaching pics of both recent bouquets they have made for my loved ones. They're breathtaking and the photos don't do justice...

I love BB&C. It's not perfect, but it may as well be. Comic stores are wonderful because they are…read moreusually small, often quaint, and always unique to their entrepreneurs. Bell serves all the right purposes: they sell comic singles, collections and books; they sell gaming cards and accessories, board games, novelties, snacks, and even have a selection of fantasy and scifi books which I consider a bonus in a comic shop. Did I mention the dedicated gaming space? The greater Dayton area is blessed with a lot of shops of this nature but they all have various strengths and weaknesses. Bell has a certain homey feeling that not all the shops around here can replicate. Although I love Maverick's, and I'm fond of Epic Loot, Bell has become my comic stop of choice on Fridays after work (since they stay open late on that day!). I read the other reviews on Yelp and I can understand why some people aren't entirely satisfied, but this shop does everything I need it to, and often does more. Someone mentioned that John is sometimes less than approachable. To that I would say that he is one of a small handful of staff members, and it's entirely likely that he has his stressed out days just like anyone else. I've never seen him be outright rude to a customer. Hell, one night as a teenager I wandered in there after they closed because I didn't see the sign, I misheard him when he said they were closed, and despite my stupidly barging in he let me browse anyway without any trouble. No shop can be everything to everyone. For me though, this one is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
