When I tell you this is THE best place to shop in The Region - I am not kidding…read more To explain, let me take you back to August 2023, I was less than a year post partum and had my appointment at SBB with Shannon. I tried on quite a few that I liked but nothing completely wowed me. Until Shannon took it upon herself to pull one for me to try on. It was strapless (which made me uneasy) but she added straps to give it that off the shoulder look I wanted. It was PERFECT. I am not someone who cries but this dress had myself and my group in tears. We purchased it THAT DAY. Fast forward to June of 2024 - I have lost about 80 pounds and get the call that my dress was in. Panic set in but Shannon assured me that it would all be fine. I went to try it on and of course it was about 5 sizes too big. I brought it to my seamstress July 6th for alterations and was told that it may not be doable and it if was it would cost me around $900. (My wedding is October 26th by the way) I gave the store a call simply to find out what the name of their sister store was as I was most likely going to have to get a new dress. Luckily it was Shannon who I spoke with and she was just as upset about the situation as I was. She told me she would call me right back. And she did. With the name and number of a wonderful seamstress who was experienced in this type of work. She also said she could POSSIBLY work something out with the sister store for a trade in for my dress. (That's not something they typically ever do but she would ask!) hey, the worst the owner could say was "no" at this point. So with no "good" option I made an appointment at The One as well as with the experienced seamstress. (Take a look at my review on The One by SBB's page to see how that went.) When I say I was completely BLOWN away by the kindness and generosity I felt by this store and its employees/owners, I mean it. They could have easily said "too bad so sad" about the entire situation but they are REAL people who actually care about their clients. In a world that is so harsh and cruel these days, it's hard to find that. I will recommend SBB to ANYONE that will listen! Thank you Shannon and everyone who made this potentially disastrous situation stress and guilt free. If I could - I would invite them all to the wedding.

I cannot express how much I love Aubrey! Her help with finding my dream dress and at such an…read moreaffordable price is greatly appreciated. She's been so helpful and thorough in such a crazy time (wedding planning + pandemic postponing). She's spot on with communication and never leaves me guessing or wondering. TBH it was hard for me to concede to making such an important purchase online without physically seeing the dress, thinking that it may have not been legit as I've tried it on in others stores locally to me only. But Aubrey really put me at ease. I'm a person who weighs decisions heavily on reviews and for some reason, this particular store doesn't have a ton here on Yelp, maybe it's not as popular as it is in California (where I'm from), but Aubrey is highly reviewed on the Wedding Wire. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aubrey. Her professionalism and demeanor shined through even in emails alone! Go see her or contact her online!

I am based in Chicago and I found this store through another website. I noticed they had a few…read moredresses that looked amazing and a price that was much more affordable than anything around Chicago. Instead of shipping them out and paying for returns fees I decided to come in instead. The communication with the store owner Aubrey was superb. The shop was so cute and everyone was really helpful. They made sure they had the dresses I was interested in pulled and ready for my appointment. I was able to say "yes to the dress" to the most beautiful Maggie Sottero. Weeks after the sale I had questions/worry about the alterations needed for the dress and Aubrey continued to help me and answer my questions. She reassured me the alternation I need would not change the integrity of the dress as long the person is experienced in bridal dresses. She also does not pressure you to do alterations with her but does offer great deals. When it is alteration time I most likely with come back to her, despite the drive because of the quality of the store. If she sold more than just wedding dresses she would have my continued business. Instead, even though I rarely ever write reviews I feel her shops deserves it. Completely worth the drive.

Consider a different shop when looking for a wedding dress. After bringing my dress home from the…read moreshop I noticed multiple blood stains on different layers in different spots of the entire dress. When I called to express my concern, I was told they "inspected every layer" and it wasn't like that when it was in their possession. However, some of the blood is on the back side of lace appliques, and the layer of fabric between my body and the appliqué is not bloody, which leads me to believe it was stained during the making of it. Instead of apologizing, offering to pay for dry cleaning, etc., I was instantly blamed for something that I did not do. Moreover, I had an issue of ordering a lined gown and paying for a lined gown, but receiving an unlined gown. The store so graciously refunded the difference between unlined and lined versions, but the refunded amount doesn't cover alterations to make it lined. I loved the entire process of buying a gown from here, but am horribly dissatisfied and disappointed with their professionalism and overall attitude.

This made a huge difference to me because everywhere else I had looked, the other consultants couldn't tell me in much detail/with much confidence how certain alterations would look or affect parts of the dress. I found my dress (unexpectedly through the Essence of Australia line) and they made sure it all got ordered properly and I did all the alterations with Jamie as expected. I also had a separate appointment with another consultant to find a veil, and they were very patient and helpful throughout to find veil options with lace that matched the lace on my dress (despite not being made by the same company). All in all, I would highly recommend Bella Sposa! It was about a 35 minute drive each way from home to get there and I am glad we did it!
