I wanted simple and timeless bridesmaid dresses. I saw a photo of a friend’s wedding and loved her bridesmaids’ dresses, and I actually ended up going with the same exact dress in a different color. I felt like it was a flattering silhouette for everyone as well! I wanted to go with white because I love the look of the bride and bridesmaids in white paired with the groom and groomsmen in their black tuxes. I also love that it’s a little different than the tradition of the bride being the only one in white, and I love that I got to match with my best friends!
I went with Bella Bridesmaids because they have a wide selection and are available in different cities, so it was easier for my bridesmaids who live outside of Dallas. They were really helpful, and I loved that we could go to their showroom and try on all of the different options!
I knew I wanted a long light blue dress, but there were so many different shades to choose from. It’s hard to tell the true color of something online, so being able to go to the store and see the color in person was helpful.
Bella Bridesmaids seemed to have the largest selection of dresses that I could see all in one place. Once I found a blue that matched our wedding colors, I looked through that designer’s dress style and chose the one I liked. My bridesmaids live all over the country, so it was nice that everyone could order their dress online or go to one of their many locations.
The sales associate was very helpful and made the process easy. She kindly followed up with all the girls when the order deadline was approaching. She also followed up with them again when the dresses arrived. All in all, it was a very positive experience with no issues.
For the bridesmaid’s dresses, it was important for my girls to feel beautiful. The midnight blue color complemented them all very well, and the strapless mermaid style allowed them to show off their figures. It was important to me that they felt like royalty on my wedding day because they have been there for me through so much and deserved every bit of pampering.
The women at Bella Bridesmaids were really helpful and flexible with our schedules. It was also easy for the girls who were out-of-state. They made the process stress-free which is what every bride needs.
For my bridesmaids, I was going for a timeless, chic look. Since my girls have a variety of skin tones and are of varying heights and body types, I wanted each to feel beautiful as they walked down the aisle “runway.”
I visited Bella Bridesmaids Tampa and the owner, Timeka was absolutely incredible! Long story short, one of my bridesmaids got pregnant, and she could no longer attend the wedding. Timeka helped me to rush order a dress less than three months before the big day. Additionally, I love that each of my bridesmaids could try on their gown in their respective city at a local Bella Bridesmaids but then the order was placed all together from the same dye lot and delivered to their homes. The virtual dressing room allows your bridesmaids to vote on gowns and allows the bride to secretly absorb all or a portion of the costs. I would definitely recommend Bella Bridesmaids, hands down.
I originally wanted the simple satin gowns that are super popular right now but quickly decided that those were not the best choice. We used those as inspiration to find different satin dresses that gave my bridesmaids the ability to choose which dress was best for them.
We had an amazing experience with Bella Bridesmaids. My bridesmaids were located in three different states and six different cities, and thankfully there was a Bellas location for each girl to visit to get fitted. I went to the Tampa store first with my local girls and were so pleasantly surprised at the amount of non-chiffon options. They were so, so helpful and went over and beyond to make the ordering process go smoothly even when we were on a bit of time crunch.
I wanted something flowy that would flatter all of their body types that also had a little bit of shimmer, I picked the color rose gold and told my bridesmaids I don’t care what the dress is as long as it’s all the same and long. I cared more about them all matching by having their hair up with statement earrings which I got for them.
We actually shopped at the Bella Bridesmaid Seattle location because two of my bridesmaids live in Seattle, and one lives in Idaho. I go home to Seattle often so I was there to shop with them. My mother actually got her Mother of the Bride dress there as well. They were awesome with helping with sizing and making sure we had everything on time. I also didn’t want something that everyone could find at a generic bridal store. Their dresses were high quality and flattered all of their body types very well.
I wanted something elegant and was on the hunt for the perfect blush color. Jenny Yoo had different coordinating style options so all my girls could pick their favorite.
We had a great experience at Bella Bridesmaids and their online ordering makes it easy for out-of-town bridesmaids! They also have matching flower girl doll dresses. It was the perfect gift for my niece!
I chose Bella Bridesmaids because part of my bridal party lived in Massachusetts and the other in Florida.
Bella Bridesmaids had locations in both places which made it easy for the girls to get fitted and try on dresses. Their service was great, and their online showroom made it easy for the girls to order their dresses together.
Since we originally were set to be married in October, I wanted a darker color, and Dan loves blue. I wanted something lighter than navy but not too bright. I wanted to choose the fabric and the general look of the dress, including color, but wanted to allow my girls to choose the style. Dessy made the same dress in Sofia Blue in about ten different styles. I chose about six of those styles for my girls to choose from based on their build and their personal taste.
I really enjoyed working with Bella Bridesmaids. I visited their shops in Tampa and Atlanta. They put together a virtual showroom for my girls to keep track of their dresses and to see what the other girls were planning as well.
I wanted a simple color and something along the champagne/nude color scheme. I wanted to avoid any prints or patterns as I thought this would photograph better and a little cleaner. As this was a formal event, that meant floor-length dresses. I wanted the dresses to be the same material and color but in different styles; that way, everyone could pick the style that they liked best and would feel most comfortable in. I selected eight styles of the same color and material and let the bridesmaids choose their favorite. I made sure to include halters, strapless, straps, etc. so there was an option for everyone.
Ordering through Bella Bridesmaids Tampa was actually very organized and easy once everyone had made their dress selection. They have locations throughout Florida and even Denver to accommodate all of my bridesmaids. Bella Bridesmaids measured everyone and sent all the information to the Tampa location so that all six dresses were ordered from the Tampa store. Once delivered to the Tampa store, the dresses were shipped out directly to each bridesmaid.
I wanted a bright shade of fuchsia that wasn’t too purple and had almost a hot pink hue to it, something bright, happy, and vibrant to match our personalities. The bridesmaid dresses were the exact color I envisioned but could not find.
Upon speaking to Tameka from Bella Bridesmaids Tampa, she instantly heard my vision and truly believed she had a color matching that vision. As soon as I walked through the door at Bellas, I knew this was the color I’d been dreaming of! It was a gorgeous fluid satin that grabbed the perfect shade of fuchsia.
I wasn’t really sure what color I would end up with on bridesmaids dresses. I knew I wanted a neutral hue, and I was thrilled to see that Bella Bridesmaids Tampa had all of the designers I was eyeing online. We tried a few different options before we landed on Amsale for the satin dresses and Hayley Paige for the chiffon and lace dresses.
I wanted everyone to feel beautiful and comfortable in what they were wearing and to feel like they were wearing something that felt in line with their personal style. Who wants to spend money on a dress they hate? It was also important to me that everyone wore a different dress. I chose twenty different dresses of various styles in two different fabrics for my bridesmaids to decide on. I loved the silk and the chiffon equally and thought it would an element of dimension.
All of my bridesmaids lived in different places from New Jersey, New York, and Georgia to Florida. Bella Bridesmaids has locations all over the United States so my bridesmaids were able to go to their local store to try on all of the dresses and be fitted. Having all of the dresses on a portal with a voting feature made choosing dresses seamless. We uploaded twenty dresses to the portal where the bridesmaids could vote and choose their dresses from.
I wanted my bridesmaids to all be in the same exact dress. I also always wanted the dresses to be a champagne color as well as a satin-like fabric. We ended up going with the designer Amsale and the style of the dress was called “Chloe.”
I truly had the best experience shopping at Bella Bridesmaids! From the moment we all walked in, we were all welcomed into the store (South Tampa location) and shown which dressing rooms we could use. The women working there were extremely helpful the entire time and answered any and all of our questions.
On our first trip, we found the most perfect dresses for my wedding that all the girls loved. Bella’s has a ton of different dress options such as several different designers, colors, fabrics, and more so there are plenty of dresses to try on/look through. Ordering the dresses was an extremely easy process, and they even have a portal online where the bride can keep track of everyone that has ordered/received their dress. I would definitely recommend any bride to shop at Bella Bridesmaids when looking for the perfect bridesmaid’s dresses!
My bridesmaids’ dress inspiration was to utilize the feel of the wedding, which was elegant, soft, and romantic. I felt the champagne gold bridesmaids’ dresses that I chose complemented both my dress and the theme of the wedding perfectly!
Bella Bridesmaids was recommended by our wedding planner, and I was so so happy I chose to shop there! The owner knew exactly what I was looking for as soon as I described the feeling I was going for. I was able to find my perfect bridesmaids’ dresses and flower girls’ dresses within no time!
I have to shout out Bella Bridesmaids’ West Palm Beach staff for the bridesmaid’s dress inspo! Ten minutes after I met the manager of that store, she basically called out that I had a bold, edgy personality and that we should go bold and mix it up. Of course, I was immediately all in, and we worked together to create the dress palette. Another plus was letting the girls pick their dress style so they could add some of their own personality to it and feel super comfortable on the day of my wedding!
My wedding planner, Alexa, referred us to Bella Bridesmaids because of the array of options and the fact that they had stores in all the different locations my girls were located in. I had a great experience from the get-go. Being in the middle of COVID we hit a few snags as many brides did with dress delays, designers going out of business, etc. The staff at Bella Bridesmaids stayed on top of everything throughout the whole process.
I went to the Bella Bridesmaids store to find inspiration. I liked Jenny Yoo’s dresses and was focusing on dresses that had alternate styles. A bridesmaid came with me and graciously modeled multiple dress options. I picked the Jenny Yoo dress because I loved the quality of the fabric, the unique rich color, and the alternate styles. The fig color stood out as a different take on traditional pink. It was a nice timeless color for a spring wedding.
I looked at so many bridesmaids’ options; I wanted everyone to be happy and comfortable! I landed on the Bella Bridesmaids’ website looking through styles for anything that caught my eye.
I had seen their name a few times on the various wedding websites, including Marry Me Tampa Bay, and decided to reach out. Timeka was really great in getting me in for an appointment, and I was able to bring two people. My ladies and I narrowed down a few options but did not officially make a decision. I continued to look for about another month and my future sister-in-law was able to come with me to the store one more time. We had found a few more styles that looked so good on her, but ultimately went back to one of the originals; a sophisticated stunner by Hayley Paige, featuring a back sheer overlay in a soft chiffon fabric that cinched just enough at the waist and fell to a slim A-Line silhouette with a clean bateau neckline and slim tank straps, it delivered ample support for my busty gals.
Timeka got all the orders in quickly, and I paid the rush shipping fee for each dress given it took so long for me to make a decision! Timeka was very responsive to any of the questions I had and provided great updates while waiting for garments to arrive. She handled coordinating all the ladies’ shipping needs and informing them when their dresses arrived. To my surprise, they did not have very many alterations-except length, which is normal! I think that can be attributed to Timeka’s experience and knowledge to ensure all my ladies were measured and sized appropriately prior to ordering. I had really felt tasked to find one single style dress given the range of body shapes in my party, but the time put in was worth it! Every one of them looked so beautiful standing at the altar with me including my Matron of Honor who had just given birth weeks prior, which was a factor when placing her dress order too! She was such a trooper!
Everything worked out so seamlessly and I would highly recommend Timeka and her team over at the Bella Bridesmaids showroom in Tampa for any future needs!
I knew I wanted my bridesmaids to have different style dresses while all wearing the same color and fabric. I wanted a pinkish-nude color. I actually ordered a lot of fabric samples in order to find just the right color!
Bella Bridesmaids provided the largest dress selection and styles in order for my bridesmaids to be able to try on their dresses before ordering.
I knew from the very beginning the most important aspect was to make my bridesmaids feel comfortable and confident in what they were wearing since they were such a big part of my wedding day. I wanted to incorporate the romantic touch of a soft, feminine tulle with the classy, sheer illusion neck line.
I chose Bella Bridesmaids because of their reputation in the Tampa Bay Area and their wide selection of designer brands. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and allowed me to make several visits until I made the perfect choice!
I chose Bella Bridesmaids because part of my bridal party lived in Massachusetts and the other in Florida.
Bella Bridesmaids had locations in both places which made it easy for the girls to get fitted and try on dresses. Their service was great, and their online showroom made it easy for the girls to order their dresses together.
After many hours of Pinterest, I realized I wanted to keep them all very simple. I really liked the idea of letting each of the bridesmaids pick out their own style since I wanted them all to feel comfortable and beautiful in their dresses. I wasn’t really a fan of ruffles or too much detailing so my only ask was for each dress to be floor length.
