Bella Bleu Bridal

I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews but since I found this place on Unilocal,at least I should chime in and give the girls at Bella Bleu Bridal their deserved accolade. This store is fancy but not pretentious. I came in last weekend with my fiancé for a wedding dress shopping appointment. Everything I tried on was beautiful! They have a small selection but seriously everything I saw in there was gorgeous. My fiancé is a picky shopper and we’ve definitely been shopping around before stepping into this boutique. I’ve been to big department store, small boutiques both in the city and suburb. I tried on plenty of dresses in many different styles and I don’t remember my fiancé loving any of those. Right before this appointment, we almost wanted to cancel because we thought we found another dress at a different store that was nice enough. After trying on many different styles, I thought that really was just as good as it gets with wedding dresses.
I’m so glad we didn’t cancel! I found my beautiful gown at Bella Bleu and so excited now to wear it on the wedding day next year. My fiancé never showed enthusiasm for any dress prior to this appointment and I think he loved everything I tried on! Price range is moderate-​high, having a budget above 2k will definitely help with more options here, but I’ve also seen a couple of dresses under. You get what you’re paying for though, so I think everything here is appropriately-​priced. Doing business with Michele (and Andrea behind the scene) has also been such a pleasure. They even suggested ways for me to save money (what seller does that?!). Highly recommend for brides that have tried on all the other conventional styles and want to look for something modern and unique. Seriously, I don’t know where this store finds their designers (but then again I don’t live in the fashion world) but wonderful job on the selection.

I should start this of by saying I did not buy my gown at bella blue, but their service and products were so good I felt the need to review anyway. I came in with my mom, sister, and bridesmaid for their theia trunk show. For such a small store they had a great selection of unique gowns. I hadn’t seen anything like these gowns at other stores, which is what I was looking for. I was suprised to find they also carried Claire Pettibone romantique gowns which I wanted to try but couldn’t find in the city. The small store meant a more intimate setting and personalized service, I was the only bride in the store! I found a beautiful liquid satin gown with shoulder beading that I even got measured for, but didn’t want to commit yet. It was a gorgeous gown that I would have been very happy with, but it ended up getting trumped by a gown at another store. If only I could afford both! I would definitely recommend them to any bride.

This place is seriously amazing. Andrea is the greatest person to work with. She really listens and tries to nail the perfect gown that you have imagined. She was so patient with me and I ended up with the dress i have been dreaming of! I couldn’t have chosen a better bridal salon to go to! Thank you Andrea and Michelle, you guys are truly amazing!!!

The ladies who work at Bella Bleu are second to none. I visited their lovely new space on Saturday Jan 24 for the Sarah Janks trunk show and had a wonderful experience. They were patient and provided thoughtful feedback. They also had extensive knowledge of what can be done from an alteration perspective on dresses, and were able to contact the designers directly for questions, which was super impressive.
I’m a normal size 8 so I dont fit super well in all the crazy sample sizes, but they made me feel very comfortable.
I can’t recommend them highly enough if you’re going for a romantic, nontraditional gown style — they have a beautiful selection (do your homework before you go!). They also have a great variety of beautiful accessories!
