I would strongly recommend against A & Bé Bridal Shop in Edina, MN…read more I truly had a nightmare experience, and I would never wish that level of stress and frustration on any fellow bride. I purchased my wedding dress and paid in full nearly a year before my August wedding. I was told it would arrive by February. After not hearing anything, I emailed them in mid-February to ask for an update. That was when I learned, through a generic email, that my dress had arrived stained and had already been shipped back to the designer. There was no return date provided and no clear plan in place. I was never informed that the dress had arrived, that it was stained, or that it needed to be sent back for cleaning. There was also a possibility that the dress would need to be completely remade if the stain could not be removed. When I asked why no one had contacted me, I was told it was "company policy" not to inform brides in these situations in order to "prevent stress." Ironically, finding out weeks later with no communication created far more stress. Even after I requested them, I was never provided photos of the stain or updates on whether the dress would need to be remade after the cleaning attempt failed. Eventually coming to find out (after several phone calls asking for updates) that it would need to be remade and would be several months late. I had to cancel my alteration appts, PTO from work, travel for my mom to come in for the final fitting, and find a new seamstress that could get me in under a condensed timeframe. Throughout the several month affair, the only updates I got were from me initiating them. Never once would they take initiative to update me on the timeline, dress status, or any updates for that matter. The customer service was beyond unprofessional from the bridal studio and the designer. When I finally got to pick up my dress, not a single person apologized for the inconveniences, acknowledged the mistakes, or made me feel even an ounce of excitement to pick up my dress. Instead, I could not wait to finally put to bed my entire experience with this studio and never have to return. Learn from my mistake. Go to Grace Loves Lace, Vow'd, The Wedding Shoppe, Anthropologie, or anywhere else in the Minneapolis area before choosing this studio. During what should have been one of the happiest times of my life, I was made to feel like an inconvenience and was often treated as though my concerns were unreasonable.

Even before walking in, I knew it was the right place for me to find my dress based on their social media presence and the intake call I had prior to my appointment.

So when I started thinking about a wedding dress, I wanted to try to find a vintage number that fit both me and my style. I was so happy to learn about Andrea's because I wanted to shop leisurely (not get into an ebay bidding war) and try thing on (even if the measurements seem right, it may not look good once it's on). The shop is loosely organized by era, but you can pull from any rack if something catches your eye. I especially liked Andrea's vision in seeing how a dress could be altered--different neckline, shorter length, a change to the bodice--to fit the designs I was most interested in. A nice, low-pressure environment, but don't bring your whole entourage. There really isn't room for more than one or two extra people, and the dressing rooms are pretty small considering the volume of some of the dresses. Obviously the assortment changes all the time, but the day I was there I saw dresses ranging from about $300 to $1600. I was also impressed by the selection of vintage accessories, including sweet birdcage veils and embellished headbands.

Cons: Parking can be a challenge Space is small so it can be tight inside Pro tip: Leave yourself plenty of time so you don't feel rushed.

You get to answer a few question in the beginning to help you out the day of. This shop has beautiful beautiful dresses. I loved their selection and fell in love with a dress here and my gosh I can't stop thinking about it. I had such a great team (bridesmaids) helping me out and honestly can't rave enough about this place. It's so hard picking a gown and having a stylist helping you out go though different styles is super helpful. I didn't feel pressured to make a decision then about the dress but I left feeling like I had found the one. Now I did continue dress shopping as I'm pretty early on my journey but know that when it comes to making a decision at the end it will come down to one of the dresses in this store ( not the one pictured here) Honestly trying on dresses can be uncomfortable for people that don't have the type of body dresses are designed for so I'm keeping that in mind. I'm petite, midsize, and on the curvier side so I already knew when I tried on dresses they wouldn't fit me completely or some wouldn't go passed my hips which was fine but I was still made super comfortable! To get park here you are definitely going to want to use the parking garage near by or try to find street parking but that can be a bit difficult. I had suck a great experience here and will be coming back again to try on the dress I fell in love with.

This was the second shop we went to so we had a good idea of what we liked and didn't like. Taylor…read moreassisted us and did a very nice job. She asked my daughter several questions then pulled several dresses that were on target. It was a very busy place. We had the 'rose room' in the back which was nice. It was lovely that they offered water and champagne to us. My daughter changed in a nearby room then had to walk to the 'stage' where we could see the dress. The lighting and mirrors were all nice. A similar style dress was a few hundred dollars more expensive here than in another shop we visited. Taylor did a nice job. She didn't ask as many questions as the other shop we went to but the dresses she pulled were right on. Parking in this area can be challenging but the nearby ramp provided ample parking. The shop was very cute and cozy. There were at least 3-5 groups in there so it was quite loud and busy. While we didn't get our dress from here, we had a very good experience. This shop was highly recommended by my daughter's friends.

I had Liliya as my profesional stylist and she was simply amazing! I had so so so much fun! Usually going to a bridal shop can be daunting because I'm not the typical model size to fit into gowns given I'm petite, midsize and curvie can be tricky to try on dresses. Lili was so helpful and honestly she got me into a lot of dresses that I thought I wouldn't be able to fit in and I just couldn't help but laugh at how much fun it was trying on dresses. It was a workout but so worth it ! They have a lot of designer dresses and honestly a bit of everything !

Upon arrival we were greeted right away by two ladies, one of which was my consultant Jenna. She listened while I explained what my vision was (which was all over to be honest) and price point. She proceeded to show us around the racks and helped me select a number of dress while she also pulled some on her own. While trying on dresses she was always there to help unzip/zip me and was always there to offer advise or answer questions as my mom and I evaluated each dress. I was shocked at how many dresses I loved in the store, the selection was amazing! As the end of my 90min appointment was nearing I still had a few dresses to try and Jenna was kind enough to let me continue to try dresses on! On top of that my mother and I always had full water glasses. We eventually left, with a few dresses that we loved in mind there that Jenna wrote down for us. The next two stops for us could not hold a flame to the experience we had at Che Bella. Flutter, the second stop was great and had fine service but the dresses were just not my taste. Our third stop, The Wedding Shoppe was TERRIBLE! I was not even given my full 90 min appointment before my consultant ended it. I told her designers I liked, she never brought them in. Told her I wanted to try something with less/no lace, she brought more and more lace. Told her I wanted to try something strapless, she kept bring dresses with straps! After leaving my mother and I called Che Bella right away to see if we could come back and try a few more dresses on. They informed us they were closing in 45mins but to come on back! Once returning to Che Bella ( about 20 mins before close) Jenna was there to greet us again and had pulled the dresses that were my favs from that morning. I tried them all on, saving the best for last! Wearing that last dress I looked in the mirror behind me only to see my mom crying and Jenna even tearing up! It was a genuine moment and I appreciated it, Jenna took the time to get to know me and my mom, she actually cared that I was happy, that is customer service at its finest. As my mother and I cried after I said yes to the dress Jenna came out with champagne for my mom, myself and her! My mom and I sat in the closed shop and enjoyed a moment that we will never have again as a mother and daughter. Jenna and all the ladies at Che Bella, thank you for giving us that moment, it meant the world. I can not recommend a better place to have one of the most special moments in your life!

I did not go with a dress from here, mostly because I liked others equally and they were cheaper. The staff was friendly, though I was surprised the attendant did not help me get into my dresses. There is space for only 2-3 appointments at once, so they do feel intimate. Good natural lighting for getting a feel for the dress. They are pretty strict on the 4 guest max rule. They weren't too pushy and didn't follow up after we left (which I appreciated). Overall I would recommend adding Che Bella to your dress appointment list! Great restaurant (Gai Noi) and park (Loring) nearby for a true girls afternoon!
