I had an amazing experience with Bella Bridesmaids! Britt and Ang were so easy to work with and really helped me see my vision for a "mix and match" garden wedding vibe. With my bridesmaids being all over the country it was so nice to have Britt and Ang help me play with different colors and fabrics until we found the perfect combo. My bridesmaids were able to visit their local Bella to try on dress options and be measured. Being able to see all the dresses in person really made the whole experience that much better and I would definitely recommend Bella to a friend!

I went there to try bridesmaids dresses and left feeling very self conscious about my body. One of the workers asked me “what size are you?” in front of everyone (this was AFTER taking all of our measurements??). I answered probably a 2 (bc I don’t know). The other worker said “no she’s at least a 6,” and proceeded to read very loudly in front of everyone “she’s a 00 bust, 6 waist, 0 hips”. First of all, WHAT are those proportions how is that real? I never really had shame about my body but this experience did it for me. In the future you should just figure out people’s size for yourself from the measurements (what’s the point in the measurements if you also ask someone’s size?), and not read measurements/sizing out loud like that. If I wanted to know the proportional/mathematical breakdown or every inch of my body, I would go to an ED/body dysmorphia subreddit.I know this exchange was totally not intended to be rude or hurtful, but that’s the effect it had and I thought I should share so you’re aware not to do that in the future. Thanks!

I had such a wonderful experience at Bella Bridesmaids. I told them the designer I wanted to use and they showed me options and colors. They made the process really easy for my bridesmaids. I had 9 bridesmaids all around the country, so having the option to use other store locations was perfect. My bridesmaids looked beautiful!

I had a great, seamless experience setting up my bridal party with options at Bella! The showroom is convenient, and the virtual showroom you are provided after your first visit is so easy to use. Love it.

I live in Boston along with 2 of my bridesmaids, but my sister lives in Chicago. I thought using Bella would be easiest since they had the designer I liked best and locations in both places. When we arrived I was very underwhelmed by the show room. It's in the back of the building and not very nice.None of my bridesmaids are super small (range from size 16-24), but the designer I liked (Amsale) sells up to size 36. I assumed there would be multiple sizes available for them to try on for different styles not only 1 sample size. I realize it's impossible to have every dress in every color/fabric, but they should have a few representative options in a few sizes. Most dresses from the designers we tried only came in size 8, which really didn't work to try on. When my bridesmaids were trying things on, the sales associate did a terrible job of clipping the dresses - they literally used chip clips, unlike nicer elastic clips I saw when trying on wedding dresses elsewhere. She seemed totally clueless to how the dresses should sit on the body (for example, a waist seem was sitting on a bridesmaid's bust, clearly in the wrong place, and she said it fit her well). It kind of felt like a gamble when they were measured and placed the order, as none of us really trusted the sales associate.Also, if all of your bridesmaids aren't at the same location, they'll have to pay $30 in shipping. They said this is due to the locations being franchises, but that's a ton of money for shipping and I don't buy that as a reason to charge them when they could have just sent the dress to each show room.Ultimately my bridesmaids likes their dresses, but that's on Amsale, no help from Bella. At least the dresses came in on time. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for bridesmaids dresses, especially if they aren't a size 4 and if everyone isn't in the same location.

Update: After posting my review, a manager called me and offered to reimburse me for any alterations needed to the dress, and asked that after the reimbursements were made for my review to be adjusted. After being sent the receipt for the many alterations needed on the dress, Bella Bridesmaids asked me to send them the dress so they could have a look at it. I have not heard a word back since and have reached out multiple times. No reimbursement whatsoever, and they stole the dress that I had bought from them. I will continue to be in touch until I am both given my dress back and reimbursed FULLY for every alteration that was needed. Absolutely disgusting service. Original review: The dress I ordered fit TERRIBLY--It was as if they didn't take any of my measurements. They also wouldn't return any of my calls asking about alterations. Luckily I was able to find a tailor in the area (who agreed that the dress was poorly made) to help when Bella Bridesmaids wouldn't.

I don't normally leave negative reviews, but unfortunately I feel like this will help other women out there.... My sister and I went to try on some dresses, and while there were plenty of options for her, as she is a size 4 in regular clothes, I found myself (a size 12/14 normally, and I have a larger bust) having to squeeze into everything I tried on. That's if I could even zip it up. I understand that there may be limitations in terms of stock, but there was no sensitivity to the fact that I was clearly uncomfortable, and only once was I even offered a bigger size. I was just brought dress after dress that were the same sizes that clearly did not fit, despite the fact that I was visibly upset and made several comments about how I couldn't tell if I liked anything because they were all too small. No one feels or looks good in something that doesn't fit them. So whether it is an issue with the store itself not carrying appropriate sizes to fit all women, or the saleswoman deciding to focus on the "easier" client (my sister) and not bothering to bring out some sizes that would fit me better, it created an incredibly upsetting experience for me. I genuinely hope this is not what it is always like there, but at the very least I would recommend calling to check on what they'll have for you before wasting an hour and leaving feeling bad.

I came to Bella Bridesmaids in April for my December wedding. All of my bridesmaids got measured while they were there and were told which sizes to order. I had the worst experience with this store after that. I was told my dresses would be in October 25. As of October 28, I still had not heard from anyone at the store. I called and emailed multiple times with no response. When I finally did talk to someone, they told me the dresses would be here "soon." I had to follow up with them for over a week. No one ever called me or updated me on an ETA, rather I had to continue to reach out to them. Each time, I would get a vague answer. One girl actually hung up on me when I asked for a tracking number. When the dresses finally arrived, 2 weeks late with no apology, one of the bridesmaid received the completely wrong dress and another was the wrong size and she had to spend hundreds on dollars on alterations. Again, there were no apologies for these mistakes. This was the worst and most stressful part of planning my wedding and I would not recommend anyone to use this store.

The way they did clipped the dress for the fitting in the store was not reproducible by the tailor. By the time I received the dress, it was a disaster for the wedding party. I had to sew myself into the dress, same with another bridesmaid. Also don't let them tell you about the 'same color lot' nonsense - it is a total marketing scam to make sure you buy the dress through them. - if you find the same dress somewhere else, buy it there and try on the right size where it will be returnable if it does not fit for whatever reason. with Bella you are locked in.... The bride was very unhappy and overall, I found the staff to be unfriendly, the store to be depressing inside and I would 10/10 not recommend.

Great selection of dresses! The staff helped me pick the perfect blue shade for my bridesmaids. I also appreciated their flexibility when I needed to come in for an appointment quickly. The ordering process was easy, and dresses arrived early. Thank you!

The team at Bella Bridesmaids has been so great to work with! I have a big wedding party (10 total), they explained their protocols right at the beginning and made sure the whole process was smooth. I went with 2 bridesmaids for the 1st appointment & we had a great time trying on dresses & their consulting was super helpful. We then came back with all 10 bridesmaids/junior bridesmaids to do a final try on/measurements with myself and 4 other adults there - it was definitely a lot of people, but they handled it so well & with lots of patience. I appreciate all their help through this crazy time to be working in the wedding industry. Doing the final order of the dresses today & super excited for them to arrive in January (COVID lead times as expected, NBD). Thank you Bella Bridesmaids team!

Bella Bridesmaids was so wonderful to work with! I was specifically looking for the right shade of blush pink and they had so many options and styles. I was so impressed with the quality and range of dresses. With went with amsale blush crepe and all the bridesmaids looked stunning. The online showroom was so helpful during covid for all of the girls to pick their own styles. Thank you Bella Bridesmaids Boston!
