My Maids of Honor and I really loved this place. I frankly don’t understand the bad rating. 2.5 stars? Really? The only reason I knocked a star off is because the prices are marked up to the high heavens. That’s the only reason why we won’t be purchasing our dresses here. I saw the same dresses online for much, much cheaper. But, we had a great time at our appointment trying on so many dresses from amazing brands. They have literally every single bridesmaid dress brand you could ever want. Our consultant was really nice and the space is gorgeous! Go with your girls and have a great time!

In a sea of taffeta, tulle, and sequins, Bella Bridesmaid is a refreshing gem that knocks all bridesmaid dress stereotypes out of the water. I’m thrilled to have found Bella Bridesmaids, but it was a bit of a journey to get there: After scouring the internet and visiting multiple bridal boutiques, I still wasn’t sold on a dress for my girls. Who knew it would be so hard to find a non-strapless, full-length bridesmaid dress? Certainly not me. I was thisclose to just choosing a regular dress from a clothing boutique when my MOH and I discovered TwoBirds. What’s TwoBirds, you ask? Oh just the most amazing convertible dress that can be worn almost 20 different ways and only comes in two sizes, therefore cutting down on alteration costs(if not eliminating them completely). Once we found this designer/dress online, we knew we had to see it in person. Enter Bella Bridesmaids. One quick internet search revealed that this adorable bridesmaid dress boutique located in the Libbie & Grove area carries TwoBirds.(many cheers inserted here). They also carry other designers, like Monique Lhuillier, Lulakate, Joanna August, and other designers that will make your girls happy… but I was all about the TwoBirds collection. My first visit sealed the deal and I knew I’d found the perfect bridesmaid dress! I’ve been back a few times since, with my MOH and one of my bridesmaids, and every experience has been fantastic. I’ve worked with owner Elizabeth every time, and communicated with her via email as well, and she is responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet. I really can’t imagine this being a better experience. I absolutely recommend Elizabeth and Bella Bridesmaid to anyone searching for a bridesmaid dress that will have your friends thanking you! Oh, and their ordering process? So easy. It’s all done online, so you just shoot out an email with instructions to your bridesmaids and they can fill it out from the comfort of their couch. Located in an adorable blue house on the corner of Grove and Granite, Bella shares the space with another shop, but the downstairs houses the bridesmaid attire and accessories. There’s also a small lot out back, so no need for any parking woes! Easy to make an appointment, easy to find, easy to work with, and a collection that’s(more than) easy on the eyes. One word: Winning.
