Both my sister and I purchased our wedding dresses from Bella Bridal Boutique and we absolutely…read moreloved the dresses. This boutique has a great selection of styles and designers at this store, a very generous and comfortable fitting / viewing area in the back, and reasonable prices. The staff is helpful and good at making recommendations for your body type, although very particular about certain things (e.g., no shoes allowed, no men in the viewing area). Other positives were that they shipped the dress to me since I live out of state, and that they were able to get it to me within 3 months of purchase for a reasonable rush fee. They also stayed open late to allow me to make a final decision on the dress and for the processing of the paperwork / payment. On that note...the paperwork. This is one of the reasons I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. The contract they make you sign is a little crazy. You have to initial individual clauses that clear the boutique of any responsibility should the dress show up late, with a different length than expected, and a number of other nuances that you would expect a seller to be responsible for. They will not sell you the dress without your signature on every single line, and when I protested about the terms, they told me that it was in the boutique's best interest to ensure I was happy with my final purchase. So, they gave me verbal assurances that everything would be great, even though I was being forced to sign a document that cleared them of the liability for some potentially big issues. In the end, I was exhausted and wanted to just get everything over with, so I signed it. Thankfully, their verbal assurances rang true, and the dress showed up earlier than expected, without defects, and in great shape. It looked beautiful at the wedding! The only other complaint I have is that I felt very pressured to go with a larger size than I needed. My seamstress ended up having to take my dress in 3 SIZES, which was very expensive and time-consuming. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't given in to the pressure and ordered the size I thought was best. I get that boutiques want you to play it safe since it's easier to take a dress in than out, but 3 sizes off was a little frustrating.

However, the manager Susana, absolutely awful customer service and does not care about making a customer happy. Bella bridal charged my card TWICE for an item I only ordered one of. After months of phone calls, fighting with the store and also talking with my bank, the issue was never resolved. This is not something a bride should have to deal with right in the last moments before her wedding. I finally gave up because I was getting absolutely no where. Absolutely disgusted with the way things were handled by this women and I am making sure to spread awareness of this issue to other brides so they do not shop with this company.

The dresses she pulled were right on target for what my daughter was looking for. I liked that she pulled a couple that were the right vibe but a different style so we would know what we liked and didn't like. I also liked that Kelly chose dresses that were in the price range we desired. She also talked to us the entire time so she got to know more about the wedding and we learned more about her experience. She even helped my daughter put on her wedding shoes while she had the dress on so she could see if she liked the shoes and dress together. We liked that there were only two groups in the place and we had one side to ourselves. We also liked that my daughter got dressed in the spot in front of us and the curtain revealed the design. She didn't have to try and stutter step to the platform so we could see. There were some reserved parking spots in front of the store but also a close ramp for any additional spots needed. The dress we liked was on sale which essentially paid for the tip, tax, and put a few bucks back in our pocket. We had a great experience here and ended up buying the dress from Ivory Bridal.

They reminded me of being in a hospital the way the curtains are pulled on a track Pro tip: Lots of places in the area vying for business, so worth looking around a bit before settling.

My daughter wanted to be the third generation to wear the ivory satin wedding dress that her…read moregrandmother and mother said their "yes" in. So Evermore seemed the perfect choice because they specialized in vintage gowns, and I did not want it to be dry cleaned. The dress was in good condition but yellowed, (see before photos) and the store manager assured us that Evermore would be able to restore it to its original color. Sadly, Evermore was not able to do this and damaged the vintage fabric in the process. This was partly due to the work not being started in the timeframe promised (almost two weeks later than agreed upon) which resulted in rushed service and the gown being pressed while still wet with cleaning fluid. The once ivory dress now looked bleached white with ivory splotches and was dull instead of having a satin sheen. (See photo) The manager recommended the dress be processed a second time and then asked for another week after that. Without my permission, the dress was sent out and dry cleaned! The general manager said he thought the dress had grease stains and that he did not know the history of the dress. He could have known had he asked. The dress had been fully examined before any treatment, and there were no grease stains on the dress. The dress came back still splotchy and had been pressed on the right side of the fabric causing heat damage. (See photo) The store manager shook her head and said, "The best I can do is 50% off. I requested the full amount and was given that. Aside from not being able to restore the dress to its original color, the gown was irreparably damaged because of the way it was pressed. I expected that a company that specializes in vintage gowns would train their staff to not press a wet garment and press on the underside of the fabric. I know there are no guarantees in life and mistakes happen. What matters to me as a customer is the response when there is a mistake. I spoke with both the store manager and general manager, and neither would acknowledge that the gown was treated poorly. The general manager said, "What do you expect me to do? Clean the dress again? I have lost so much time and money already." I absolutely did not want the dress done as Evermore had not demonstrated its staff were capable of caring for an heirloom dress. I felt I was treated in a disrespectful way and was shown no empathy for such disappointing results. When I first brought in the dress, I was asked for its value. I said, "priceless." I was encouraged to write that on the form. Now the gown is no longer lovely or the heirloom we hoped to pass onto the next generation. We have less than three months to find a dress. What was supposed to be a joyful part of planning a wedding has been so heart breaking.

During the alteration fitting, the staff expertly pinned my dress and made sure I was happy with their plan.

For the ease, price, and professional staff, I would definitely use Evermore again!

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.

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.

It was tidy, clean, and their couple of sitting areas were nice and comfortable. I think the only things I have to note are that they accept walk-ins which is all well and good, unless it means people with appointments have to wait. We ended up waiting at least ~30 minutes to start my appointment, which was okay since we had time to look at the dress and pull what we liked, but at the same time, the whole appointment ran an hour longer than we were anticipating. It was certainly kind to let us stay that long though as the last appointment of the day! Simply put: lovely shop, great selection, kind employees, have extra time on your hands just in case, you'll have a blast!
