Small intimate atmosphere. The ladies were very helpful, understanding and nice. I got a great deal on a beautiful dress. I loved the facility and the employees.

I bought my fit and flare Lazaro at Wedding Belles I could not believe I was getting a silk organza beaded dress that was normally 6,000 for 2,000!! They have all different kinds of dresses and for different prices. What I like about Wedding belles was that my consultant let me go back in the room with her to pull dresses. She was great and the second dress I put on was the one!! They also put my hair up and put jewelry on to get the full effect! I Love Wedding Belles I would say if you are looking for a brand name or a certain style you won't be disappointed!!

I never imagined finding a wedding dress so easily. Wedding Belles was the first and last place I went looking for a dress and I found one that was "me." They were so helpful and friendly and what a cute store! They really did a great job listening to what I wanted and working within my budget. I was extremely satisfied! Plus they referred me to an absolute wonderful seamstress.

I had the best experience finding my dress at Wedding Belles. I went there after going to two other dress shops in the area. Wedding Belles was my last stop and I was hesitant of going since I was tired and thought that I had already found my dress at the last shop, but thank goodness I decided to stick it out. I went with an entourage on 10 people...it's a small shop, but they made sure we all fit. When you walk in you feel like you are in the house of your grandmother...it's warm and cozy and you feel cared for. The consultant that was helping us felt that she had the perfect dress for me as soon as she saw me, but throughout the appt. was having trouble finding it. I continued to try on several dresses (they had an awesome selection that they let me and my maid of honor sift through), and just as I thought I was finished, the bridal consultant came in with the dress she had been looking for. At first glance, I thought it was pretty, but not what I thought I wanted. However, once I put it on everyone (all 10 of my friends and family) got tears in their eyes and my mom accidentally shouted "It's the one!" What I loved the most about Wedding Belle's is they take you downstairs in front of the mirror and do your hair (mine was in this amazing up-do that took all of 5 minutes) and get a veil and jewelry to put on you. One look in the mirror and I bought it all, because it was perfect! I bought the dress that was a little big, since it was a sample size and they recommended some amazing seamstresses to me. The price was also unbeatable! By the day of the wedding, I was still so happy with my choice of dress, veil, and jewelry. I had my dream wedding in my dream dress!

Wedding Belles was my absolute dream come true! I had my ideal wedding dress in mind, but was not finding it anywhere. After trying on tons of dresses and explaining to them what I was looking for, they told me that I could basically create the dress I wanted, just by adding to an existing dress. One of their employees was the one that actually picked out the dress and we fell in love the minute I put it on. They directed me to the word's best seamstress, Marinella. My dress was absolutely perfect and the entire staff was so very helpful and friendly. They even gave me a mock up-do, jewelry, and a veil to try on with the dress. One of the best experiences in our entire planning!

I had an amazing experience finding my dress at Wedding Belles. The staff are friendly, helpful and patient. The shop is cute, clean and organized. I had lost hope at ever really finding 'the' dress and I found the perfect dress at Wedding Belles and had a great experience.

I found my dream dress at Wedding Belles. The women who own Wedding Belles are wonderful people and very helpful. The dresses there are mostly sample dresses that you pay for and take home that day. They have a wide selection of dresses for all tastes. I was looking for a ball gown style dress at other stores and it would have cost me over $5000 for my dream dress. I went to Wedding Belles and found it for $2000. The dress was in beautiful condition and I received so many compliments. I recommend Wedding Belles to all of my friends. Both my sisters also found their dream dresses there for a great price (one trumpet style and and a-line dress). Do not be discouraged if you do not find your dress the first time you visit. They are continuously receiving more dresses. The hard part is deciding on the spot. You need to be ready to purchase the dress or it could be gone. They do not hold dresses. Overall a wonderful experience and an excellent place to get your wedding dress :)

I had a fantastic experience at Wedding Belles, and I was not the typical bride-to-be. I was an out-of-town bride, and I also was 6 weeks pregnant when I went looking for my dress. As such, I admit I was a little down (ok, call it hormonal, that's fine, too!) that my bridal experience wasn't "normal." In a Kleinfeld's-style made-for-tv moment, Marsha and her staff pretty much stopped my appointment to pull me together and convince me that I could find my dream dress and didn't have to settle for "whatever I could afford or fit into." That they took the time to cater to ME made a lasting impression. Even though they are a resale/sample shop, they have a large selection (I am size 4/6 at the time, though, so I don't have issues fitting into the sample size; I cannot speak for the selection otherwise). I was looking for a lace dress and there were several to choose from. They also brought me several non-lace dresses that fit the style I had described, so I really had a wide range of options from which to choose. And, as the other reviewers have mentioned, it is fun to be able to pick out dresses from the racks yourself (though you need some serious arm strength to go through all the dresses!). I went on a weekday, which I recommend for anyone wanting some extra attention or peace and quiet. The dress I ended up with was actually not a sample but, rather, a dress which had been purchased by a bride whose wedding was later cancelled. So I had a dress that had never before been tried on-- it didn't have any of the typical imperfections of a sample dress. And it was still a bargain at 1/6 of its original cost. It was a lovely Demetrios Ultra Sophisticate that honestly I could not have afforded at its retail value. For that fact alone, Wedding Belles is a MUST VISIT on your search for a dress. I should also note that one of my close friends and bridesmaids also bought her wedding dress at Wedding Belles; her experience was as positive as mine, so I can say along with the majority of reviewers here that it is no anomaly. Lastly, the list of alterations services provided by Wedding Belles is great. I used Debbie in Hawthorne Woods and she was phenomenal. My dress fit like a glove and I got rave reviews. And remember, I was living out of town, so Debbie worked with me mostly in the week leading up to the wedding-- not bad for turnaround time.

I have 3 sisters, and so far all 3 married or engaged have gotten their dresses at Wedding Belles. They are that good. I ended up in a dress that I would never have picked off the rack - but that looked stunning on. They are so patient, and have a knack for finding just the right dress! They have a combination of samples and special order dresses - mine was a special order. The quality of the fabric was amazing. One word of caution - when I got measured they ordered a dress for me that was way way too big - maybe just in case but the alterations were a mess! so definitely work with them to understand the measurements.

Wedding Belles has great customer service. This is a sample shop so you take the gown with you when you purchase it. Since its a sample shop the prices are more reasonable as well. The one thing I would recommend is that you shop around first to determine what you really want. I shopped around and I realized that my budget did not fit my taste so when I went to wedding Belles I already knew what i wanted and had an idea of pricing. I got many compliments on my dress and I couldn't have been any happier with my dress. Furthermore, they let you go into the gown room to pick out dresses which was super fun, once you have found the dress they take you downstairs to the big mirror and they make you up with jewelry and veil so that you can see what you would like. I highly recommend this bridal shop!!

Love this place! I tell everyone to get their dress at Wedding Belles. Their selection and prices are amazing! The staff is great and they let you and your family go through the racks of dresses with them (which is a lot of fun). I loved my dress and received so many compliments!

I tried so many other places to find my dress- I should have just went to Wedding Belles first! They are a sample shop so you take your dress with you that day. Because they are a sample shop, the prices are cheaper than what you would find at other stores. I was finding that I had very expensive taste so at Wedding Belles, I was able to get a $1600 dress for $900. I loved my dress!! One great thing they do is put you in your dress, take you down to their giant mirror, do your hair, put a veil and jewelry on you- you feel like a princess! Everyone was very nice- a great experience!

I was really happy with my experience at Wedding Belle's! Patty was great and the seamstress did an amazing job on a dress that could have been a little tricky! I felt like I got a lot of personal attention and I went into the whole "wedding dress shopping" thing very very intimidated, they made it easy, they just brought me things to try on, and the 4th dress was the perfect one! They were even patient when I brought girlfriends in to get their opinion. Perfect experience, couldn't be happier!

Patty the owner was great. She offered discounts where she could and really knew her stuff when it came to the gowns. She picked my gown out for me the first day I was there and when it came in I was absolutely in love. We also did the bridesmaid dresses and shoes there as well. She was very honest about the style of dresses and body type, which I really liked because I'd rather someone tell me if something doesn't look good than lie to me just because I'm the bride. The seamstress at the shop was not nice at all. Some of my bridesmaids complained to me that she was rude to them. Then when I went to pick my dress up she started fighting with my sister.

Very helpful staff. The dresses were beautiful to choose from and we found the perfect fit! Appointments were necessary and we had a lot of help deciding. A lot of other stuff to choose from as well, perfect shoes, jewelry, veils and hair pieces. I would highly recommend stopping by this quaint little shop.
