Bijou Bridal & Special Occasion

I found the perfect bridesmaids dress at Bijou Bridal and the staff was very helpful and professional with the entire process.

Absolutely hands down best place I went to. They have the nicest staff, wide price range and are completely unpretentious regardless of what you're willing to spend. The store is beautiful and the dresses are gorgeous, priced from 300 to the G's. Do yourself a favor and spend some time with Julie or anyone else on staff. AND they cap your alterations at $250! I looked for a long time and went back to them after months of not finding anything better.

I am so thrilled with the bridesmaid dresses I ordered from Bijou Bridal. The staff was very responsive and helpful. They were courteous and made my bridal party and me feel valued. They even matched a competitor's price! They also kept me informed every step of the way! I would absolutely recommend them to any bride!

Very happy I got my dress/veil at Bijou Bridal. They were so helpful to help me find my dress and then the great service continued after we bought the dress. Everyone there really knows what they are doing and are so helpful. My mom and I really enjoyed the process at Bijou Bridal. Thanks for everything--loved my dress and how it looked.Gina DiSanti Reynolds12/3/11

Bijou Bridal was the BEST!! They had the most amazing dress selection, and their bridal consultants were such a pleasure to work with. They worked with me to find the perfect dress for my day, (not that it was hard, because their selection is amazing!), and the helped make my dress everything I had dreamed of it being. Which was beautiful. Words can't even express how gorgeous my dress was, or how amazing the seamstress was that I worked with. She was so patient, and worked to make every last detail perfect for my wedding day. If you're searching for a wedding dress, GO THERE! And request Diana as your seamstress.

This store had gorgeous dresses and the sales people were so helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend this vendor!

Bijou Bridal came highly recommended by one of my family members and it is the first place that I went to to start looking for my wedding dress. The wedding consultant was very sweet and courteous and immediately started helping me search for "The Dress". I selected 8 dresses and started trying them on, one by one. When I tried on the third dress, I just knew it was The One. I put on a veil and the tears started flowing...I knew that I had found my dress. I placed an order for the dress that day, and when it came in, I loved it even more than the day I laid eyes on it. Every time I went for a fitting, the dress seemed to take on its own personality. I had an excellent seamstress who transformed my dress into an even more gorgeous dress than it already was! I made an appointment to select jewelry, and the sales associates that assisted me helped me get into my dress and brought necklaces, earrings, and bracelets for me to try on until I finally decided on the ones that I would take. When I went to pick up my dress, I was happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because I was finally taking home my dress and was one step closer to getting married! I was sad because the staff at Bijou Bridal had become like a second family who recognized me every time I walked in the door. I would highly recommend Bijou Bridal to any girl who wants to find their dream dress. The value of my dress and the quality of the seamstress' work are unsurpassable. The dress fit me like a glove. On my wedding day, I couldn't wait to get into my dress because it was the dress I had dreamed of since I was a little girl and I wanted so badly to see my husband's face when he saw me for the first time. Bijou Bridal did an absolutely wonderful job!

Their selections of dresses was absolutely breath taking. My dress was the first one I tried on. It was perfect in every way. The seamstresses were wonderful and did a great job on the bustle. I will recommend Bijou Bridal to any bride who wants to feel like royalty.

I bought my wedding dress at Bijou Bridal for my August 2011 wedding. Every step of the process was completely taken care of by the staff at Bijou. Everyone was wonderful as I tried on and chose the dress that I had always pictured myself in on my wedding day. The alterations were expertly done and my dress turned out beautifully for the day of my wedding. My bridesmaids dresses and my mom’s dress looked gorgeous. I highly recommend Bijou Bridal for any wedding preparations.

By far the best bridal shop I steeped foot in. All the ladies who worked there were so nice and helpful from the beginning. If you don't want to be pressured into a dress, this is the place to go. They truly care and want you to be satisfied with what you decide. I bought both my wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses here. By doing that the bridesmaids received 10% off their dresses. Everything came in on time and perfect. My dress was beautiful and my seamstress there spent a lot of time on my dress. At the end they even gave me a lovely gift and walked my dress out to the car for me!

I have nothing but glowing remarks to say about Bijou Bridal. I bought my dress there. I expected to see high price tags on the dresses in the store, but all of the dresses I was interested in were under $2000. They gave me 10% off also. (No sales tax in NJ too!) I had my alterations done at the store. The seamstress completely restructured the dress like I wanted. I turned an A-line dress into a mermaid-type dress. It was the most perfect dress. All 9 of my bridesmaids bought their dresses from Bijou also. (5 of the bridesmaids were from out of town, but Bijou was able to coordinate their measurements via phone). My mother found her dress there as well. I definitely recommend Bijou!

Bijou made the entire experience of buying a wedding dress amazing. They were attentive to all of my needs. They gave me the one to one attention that one would expect when buying such an important garment!!

The staff at Bijou Bridal took one of the dresses on the stock floor and make it exactly what I dreamed of. The quality of the seamstress's work was superb. The staff very helpful and accompodating!

the gown picked me. i looked in bijou just as another place on list to hit for dresses and ended up loving the place and the staff. i found a number of dresses i loved and then i found THE dress. I had alot of bridesmaids. I had 7 different styles all the same color. They looked gorgeous. I felt beautiful and the seamstress knew her stuff. Just as important as the bride feeling gorgeous in her gown is pleasing a self consious mom to find the perfect mother of the bride dress. Mom is more of a suit gown woman than a gown showing skin and we found a gorgeous dress for her. Actually she had options. She looked amzaing. everyone complimented her and i could tell she felt beautiful in it. Bijou hit every deadline, always had available appointments and worked with wahtever the issues were. I had different body types in my wedding. who got pregnant, who just had a baby, who diets and who has uneven body types. I was very happy with them and i also loved their supply of evening gowns. If i ever go to a ball, the oscars or black tie, i know where ill shop

I went to a few bridal stores in the Bergen/Passaic County area and found my DREAM dress at Bijou, made by a designer who only designs for this store. They have a gorgeous selection of some of the hottest dresses i've seen. All the employees were always so nice and helpful. I stopped by a number of times before my actual dress came in, to try the sample on with my veil, shoes, show my grandmother, etc..and they were always really nice about everything. The alterations for my dress came out exactly how they should and the seamstress was professional and patient on my 3 visits. Also, I ordered my 5 bridesmaid dresses from here as well. They took about 3 months to come in and I picked them up in garment bags. My girls did not get them altered by the store, but only because of distance to where they live. The dresses were just perfect .I had a great experience all around. Sometimes I just wanted to linger & hang around the place and see brides trying on their gowns, what dresses people were looking at, etc... it's a fun store & I highly recommend it.

Bijou came to my rescue just TWO MONTHS before my wedding date after a disaster at another salon ruined my first dress. The entire staff was wonderful and extremely helpful and accommodating. I was able to get a BRAND new dress in under two months from their exclusive line. The dress itself was incredible the intricate beadwork was so detailed and beautiful. They were able to do all of my alterations in under a week to get me ready for the big day. From the seamstresses to the front desk it was a pleasure going to the store and working with them. The store itself was very nice and kept very clean. I would absolutely recommend going there to look for a dress. I truly believe it was meant to be and I got an even more incredible dress that I don't regret for one minute, I loved wearing this dress!!!

Bijou was amazing. Their variety of dresses is extensive and their staff fantastic. They worked with me to make my dress as beautiful as I imagined it. So glad I went there.

The staff at Bijou Bridal was professional & personal. They were nor pushy or uppity toward their clients no matter their budget. They were very helpful & patient in helping me find "The Dress". I would definitely recommend this place.

Out of a lot of wedding dress shopping, Bijou Bridal was by far the best experience ever. They keep their dresses in great condition. They are helpful but not pushy. They are amazingly professional. My dress fit perfectly. My girls looked awesome. We were so impressed with this facility. Two of my friends got their party's dresses from Bijou Bridal because they did such a good job with my wedding!

They were so nice at this store. The women were so friendly and really personal. One woman even cried with us when we found THE dress. I had the dress of my dreams and the price was less than i expected. I would tell any person to check this place out!

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Professional, fun, experienced staff. Impeccably kept salon. Highly recommend Bijou.

Bijou is awesome! Everyone is so nice! I have dealt with almost every salesrep in there for all different things and I love them all. They are friendly, personable and make you enjoy your experience. I can't wait to get my dress in to start fittings!!! Don't go anywhere else if you have found your dress here!

Bijou Bridals was the first bridal store I went to in search of my perfect gown. I thought that I would be searching for some time for the dress and going from bridal store to bridal store. That was not the case! After trying on a few bad choices on my part, I tried a dress on that really did not impress me on the hanger, but once on I had found my dress. On the first day of looking I had found that perfect gown, headpiece and veil. The entire staff was wonderful and worked with me to get that perfect fit. Not only did I find my gown there, but also my mother's and my bridal party. My mother just fell in love with her gown as soon as she saw it on the hanger and after the fittings were done, she looked lovely at my wedding. My bridal party (small that it was - maid of honor and one bridesmaid) loved their gowns to. I let them pick out the two different dress styles, they picked the color and it all just fell into place. Everyone looked beautiful at the wedding. I will recommend Bijou Bridals to anyone looking for that perfect gown for their special day.

I bought my wedding gown at Bijou and i was very happy with the quality and service they provided. My consultant was a woman named Stephanie who i found out has moved and is no longer there, but if she was, i would recommend any new bride to her. She made my experience awesome. She had me try on many different dresses to see what style i liked best, and she didn't care how long it took. When i was down to my 2 final dresses, she wrote down the websites, told me to look at them online on other girls and then make another appt after a week, come back and try them on again so i could think about it. When i came back and tried them both on, i asked her opinion. She told me honestly she thought one looked a lot better on me than the other and i knew she was being honest with me because both dresses cost the same amount so she wasn't trying to get me to buy a more expensive dress. After i purchased the dress i also bought my veil and headpiece from the place. Stephanie matched everything perfectly. She also recommended sleeves for me because i wanted them, and got the best ones to match with out me even having to ask. The fitting went well, and when i went to pick up my dress before the wedding they had it packaged beautifully and even brought it to my car for me. I recommend this place for any new bride!

I cannot say enough about the people at Bijou Bridal. They had so much patience when I looked for my wedding and bridesmaid dresses. They had a great selection, and my dress fit perfectly after my fittings.

This store had the best service and I loved my dress! I even got all of my attire there: shoes, vails, jewlery, purse for my sister, ring pillow, etc. It was great and I would recommend this store to anyone.

Bijou has tons of styles and price ranges to choose from! I loveee my dress and couldn't be more perfect. The staff was great to work with and very friendly. My stylist, Catherine was fabulous! We tried on a whole rack of dresses and found the ONE! The seamtress was great too! I recommended going here for your dress! They take good care of you!

The ladies at Bijou Bridal are fantastic. They really know their product, and show you a selection within your budget. Since I live out of state, they were very willing to work around my travel schedule to allow for fittings. Very smoothly operated.

I bought my dress and veil at this location. The ladies here are so helpful with making you look beautiful for your special day. There is a wonderful selection of dresses and accessories. I had 3 fittings and they and made sure that my dress fit perfectly and comfortably. I sparkled all the way to the alter!

I went in just to get ideas and fell in love! The staff was very professional and they did not push me for the most expensive dress.

I bought the most beautiful dress here. This boutique has so many style dresses to choose from and the stage with mirrors makes trying on the dresses an experience in itself. I highly recommend you go here with your mom & family...they can sit on the couch as you model dresses on the stage. It was a lot of fun and my dress was the 5th one I tried on. I LOVE my dress!

I LOVE BIJOU! The girls that work there are so sweet and friendly! I worked most with Cathy although I had the pleasure of working with some of the other young ladies! They were not pushy, from my very first appointment, almost a year from my wedding date, they treated me like a princess. They were never snooty or made me feel uncomfortable! I purchased my wedding dress along with my veil and bridesmaids dresses there, also am having my dress cleaned and preserved by them as well. I tried on at least 6 dresses but the one that i had eyed for several months and also the first dress i tried on was the one i went with! Bijou is a great place to go!!! Their prices are reasonable, they go above and beyond for their customers and I just love the girls who work there. I have a hectic work schedule and they worked with me!!! I would recommend visiting this place at least once! From the moment you walk in the door to your last visit, they really knew how to treat a bride. The lady who altered my dress was pheonomenal and they even did something special for me when i came for the last time to pick up my dress!

Bijou and there staff are the best kept secret in Bergen! I loved working with them and they were so helpful with the dress and all my bridal party's dresses. They were better then Kleinfeld's!

I would definately recommend Bijou Bridal to anyone looking for a dress. They were very helpful to me and all of my bridesmaids. They even helped me find a headpiece which had to be ordered.

I totally loved my gown, the sales associate Joyce was great!

The staff at Bijou was wonderful! I had nothing but positive experiences at their boutique.

We found the Mother of the Bride and Grandmother of the bride dresses at Bijou. The selection is excellent and so is the service. As long as you make that appointment you will have all the help you need. The alterations were also excellent. I would recommend this store to any women in the bridal party.

I shopped at Bijou Bridal for my veil only (I had already found my bridal gown elsewhere), but my experience with Bijou Bridal was wonderful. The sales reps were so friendly and helpful, and I found my stunning veil within 20 minutes of arriving at the store. It was such an easy process. I LOVED my veil! Thank you Bijou Bridal!

Just got my dress at Bijou Bridal today! I've been to about 6 shops and this was definitely by far the most professional and friendly. I never once felt pressured or rushed even though I went back to try the dress 3 times, which was really important to me! A lot of the other shops I visited pressured me hard core or lost interest in me once they found out I was not going to buy that day! My saleslady Kristen was so patient with me throughout the whole process even when I proclaimed to her that I would probably be her most indecisive bride ever!!!

I went to a few bridal stores and Bijou had the nicest staff who were patient, kind, and most of all listened to what I wanted as far as a wedding dress. I was able to find my dress, the bridesmaids, and my mom found her dress all at Bijou. Everything was perfect, except for a few alteration mishaps with some of the bridesmaid dresses. I would recommend this boutique to any new bride!

Bijou has a great selection of wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. The store is nice and clean and spacious. The services was excellent and tailor fantastic. Scheduling fittings was very easy. I would recommend this store for wedding dresses.

Felt like a princess just going to them! Excellent location and beautiful array of dresses. Truly top notch. Never thought in a million years I could find something I could afford and yet they have a wide array of dresses that fit my price range! The service is impeccable. Can't say enough about them. The only downfall is that their seamstress only works during weekdays (was a tough thing for me to learn, after I signed the bill, given I don't live nearby). Otherwise they were worlds above any other dress store at basically the same price. Got my dress and my bridesmaid, they kept everything organized.

I felt so comfortable from the day I walked in to look for a dress to the day that I picked up my dress! Bijou made finding a dress a WONDERFUL and fun experience!

I went to a few sample sales but did not get the bridal experience I wanted. Bijou's consultants are all very nice and not pushy at all. I knew I found my dress at the first bridal appointment, but went back two more times before I placed my order. I wanted to be 100% sure and they were more than accommodating. It was a dress from their in-house designer, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I placed the order for the dress three months before my wedding date, it came in on time and had all three of my fittings in the week prior to the wedding. Their alterations department is awesome. I had so many compliments on my dress. It was the perfect dress and a great experience.

My mother, mother-in-law, and I all found our dresses at Bijou and each of us was pleased with the selection, customer service, and alterations process. My only complaint about this place is that after your initial purchase, you can't make an appointment on the weekend. There are late appointmetns on weeknights though, so it wasn't too hard to make it work.

I did not purchase my wedding dress from Bijou, only my bridesdmaids dresses. After much searching, I found Bijour to have the largest selection of samples. They also carried a nice range of sizes, not just 3s and 5s, for my girls to try on. For the designer I chose, Bill Levkoff, they had the widest selection in the area. They also had the exact shade of wine I was looking for (euro wine) so I got to see it in person. (DONT RELY ON COLORS ONLINE!). They also have in-house seamstresses (price not included) who are pretty flexible just dont know if all are very reliable. For instance, for those girls who lived out of state and called in their measurements, the staff ordered dresses much too big. This is probably not the staffs fault. They indicated they relied on the designer's size charts. My only complaint is with the seamstress (name unknown) who fit my junior brides. Dont know what happened but after three failed fittings their dresses had to be taken apart completely only one week before the wedding. to their credit, they pulled it off and at the end of the day, all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful and their dresses fit perfectly.

The only store that had the dress I wanted. Friendly staff and the woman who did my alterations was great!

I purchased the first dress I tried on at Bijou with no second guessing. During my visit my consultant Eileen was helpful in pulling dresses that matched what I had initially thought I liked, but most importantly selected a dress for me to try on that was nothing like what I was considering, and it was perfect. The dress arrived with plenty of time to spare before my wedding, and Bijou was flexible in scheduling alterations, and even did some last minute alterations a few days before my wedding.

The girls at Bijou were very help all along the way, from the bridal gown to the bridesmaid dresses. The dresses were great, the sales girls were great, however the seamstress could have been better with how much we paid for alterations. But overall experience was excellent!

I was very pleased with my experience with Bijou Bridal. After shopping in NYC, where all of the dresses I liked were in the $5000-$6000 range, it was a pleasure to go to Bijou Bridal, where the dresses were in the $2000-$4000 range-- but looked just as good! And even better... no sales tax!The selection at the store is great, and well displayed. It's a spacious and comfortable store, and browsing is a relaxing and pleasant experience. There are mother-of-the-bride and bridesmaid dresses on the lower levels, and wedding dresses on the upper levels. The sales staff was friendly, not pushy and good at identifying a suitable style for my body type. Surprisingly, it wasn't what I had previously thought I wanted. The best thing about this store is that they are well organized and run their business well. Everything came when they said it would, they communicated with me frequently, billed me accurately, etc... Given some of the horror stories I've heard about other places, I appreciated that about Bijou.The alterations were mostly good- but I felt a little rushed during some of my alteration appointments. You really want to make sure it's right, so you should get to take as long as you want during those appointments!Overall, very positive and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone shopping in the NY/NJ area!

I would highly recommend Bijou Bridal to any bride looking for her dress. I went to several other stores before I went to Bijou, and although my first sales rep was not overly friendly, their selection was by far the best, and every other person I dealt with was amazing! I absolutely love my dress, and the way it was altered. Their prices were very reasonable, and I even got a discount because they were running an end of the year promotion when I ordered it last December/January. It came in faster than they had told me, and was everything I could have wanted. My alterations were done by Farzan (I'm not sure how to spell it) and she was great. She knew exactly what she was doing. Many of my friends told me that by the end of their weddings their dress was falling down because the alterations were not done well. My dress was perfect from the moment I put it on to the moment I took it off. It did not move at all. I also got my veil, and my head piece from Bijou which I was also very happy with. My mother got her dress from Bijou as well and was just as pleased. They were extremely accomodaing. They found the dress in the color she wanted to show her exactly what it would look like so that she wasn't guessing up until the day it came in, and made her look beautiful. She wanted removable cap sleeves put on so that she could wear them in the church and take them off at the reception and they came out exactly as she had hoped. Bijou always worked it so that my mother and I could do our fittings together as to minimize the number of trips we had to take to the store, and this was very helpful especially for the last two fittings which were closer to the wedding. The only downside that I can say about my experiences at Bijou is that there were one or two saleswomen that were not that friendly. It didn't matter to me because I always had my mother and sister-in-law with me to discuss the dress options and alterations, as well as to get excited about buying my wedding dress with, but it would have been nice if every sales woman was excited about selling you your wedding dress too! :)Overall great experience!! Definitely give them a shot it's worth it.

Finding a dress at Bijou Bridal was such a wonderful event. I would highly recommend working with Catherine. She was patient, flexible, receptive to comments and opinions, and a wonderful asset in the planning experience. One word of wisdom. Do not attempt to try on a dress and simply look at accessories at the same time. You must make an "accessory appointment." In addition, buy your dress WAY in advance...my dress took an extra month to come in and I had 3 follow-up fittings. Please plan accordingly.

I had a great experience with Bijou! Not only did I buy my dress & veil there, but we ordered 7 different bridesmaid dresses from them (same color, different styles). Karen was my bridal consultant, she was such a dream to work with. I went to a number of places and Karen was one of my favorites. I even asked for her when my girls went because she was so helpful without being obtrusive. My seamstress was even better. She completely redid the lace beading on my bodice when it had to be taken in. My dress fit me perfectly and I didn’t have simple alterations! The only negatives I would say is that there are a little inflexible. Minor instances in the overall experience, but it was hard to get last minute appointments sometimes. Also, I wish they were more helpful with my expecting MOH. They bothered her for her waist measurement when she was 8 months pregnant and had her sign a form to acknowledge she wasn’t ordering according to the size she measured to, which was semi ridiculous given the wedding was 4 months after she was due. But overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend them!

I got my dress from Bijou and overall had a pleasant experience. I think the store is beautiful and that they have a great selection. My sales girl was very nice, not pushy (i had that experience in another store). I'm really happy I bought my dress here, even though I thought I spent a little too much ($1800 plus $300 in alterations). They do have a variety of pricing but I fell in love so what can I say.

Bijou was a great experience! My alterations were perfect! I wore a strapless dress-- I danced the entire night and didn't have to pull up the dress from the top once. The bustle was flattering to the dress style...i received compliments all night. Farzan, the tailor, was a pleasure to work with!

I would estimate that the bulk of their dresses were strapless and satin. Wide selection; however, I wanted a lace dress with sleeves (straps). My dress was the fourth one I tried on - our saleswoman was super helpful and accommodating!

Overall my experience with Bijou Bridal was positive. They had a large selection of dresses to fit all budgets and body types. I appreciated the fact that right on the sheet they give you when you have an appointment, they ask your budget. This way, they don't bring you dresses that are out of your budget. I found an amazing dress. It was everything I wanted.When the dress came in and i got to try it on, the fit was almost perfect. I also appreciated the white gloves the handler wore when helping me into my dress.Where Bijou fell short in my opinion is in the alterations. I know it is standard to have an "alterations package" and at $300 I thought it was reasonable. However, I wanted the train taken off my dress. My dress was a plain silk taffeta with no beading except under the bodice. The dress of course needed to be hemmed anyway so essentially all they had to do was continue the hem all the way around and cut the train off. Much simpler than a bustle I thought. however, they told me I had to pay an additional $100 just to cut off the train! I was told they had to re build the entire skirt. When I went to another seamstress she told me that was not true. I decided to pull my dress from the store and have it altered elsewhere. No one at Bijou asked why I was taking the dress before it was altered and honestly, if they had told me they would have done it for the $300 I would have kept the dress there. But no one asked. I had the alterations done at a seamstress who also put in cups (that was an additional $50 at Bijou) and it cost me $225 as opposed to the $450 I would have been charged at Bijou. Other than this slight hiccup, I would recommend Bijou to others for their large selection of beautiful dresses and their staff who was very nice and professional.

Bijou did a excellent job on my dress and alterations...my only negative thing about them is i would go somewhere else for bm dresses they don't alter bridesmaid dresses

My gown as well as my bridesmaids' gowns were purchased at Bijou. When I became too small to fit in the original size dress that was ordered for me within the last two months, Bijou was nice enough to quickly switch it for me with one in the warehouse that would be easier to alter. Ordering and receiving our dresses was seamless. My alterations were well done, but I wasn't thrilled when I discovered that they were no longer doing bridesmaid dress alterations and had to find a different seamstress to do their alterations. However, I found a wonderful seamstress with excellent prices. In retrospect, I would have taken my bridal gown to her for alterations had I known how much didn't come included in the price of the "all-inclusive $300 bridal alterations." I also had some issues with my bustle staying up. Nine days before my wedding, Bijou attempted to push my final fitting out closer to my wedding (5 days prior) in case I lost more weight. I wasn't able to do it any other day because I had already made special arrangements to be there with my bridesmaid who would be doing my bustle on that specific day. I also felt to think I would lose monumental weight in 4 days was a bit ridiculous. It caused me to feel as if they had bitten off more than they could chew and were just looking to buy themselves more time to complete my alterations. Needless to say, I kindly refused and explained I'd be unable to make it at that point and the owner got a bit snippy with me. However, after reading about as well as witnessing some of the other horrific antics that have been experienced with other bridal boutiques, I guess I should count my blessings that these were my biggest issues with Bijou! If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would have no reservations about ordering my gown through Bijou but would have went elsewhere for my alterations.

Now let me start off by saying I started looking for wedding dresses in June and getting married in November so when I booked an appointment to go to Bijou I knew I was walking out with a receipt, I knew I had very little time. AND I did! The dress was on a mannequin my mom saw it and I saw it and we both said oooohhh I liked that. I tried on 10 dresses having the display dress as my first dress and 9 different other styles thereafter. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on after re-trying it again.Fast forward about 3-4 weeks later. I started having dress regret and buyer’s remorse. I hated my dress. It was the complete opposite of what I wanted to get. (completely not Bijou’s fault) I wanted form fitting, mermaid style off the shoulder, very little train and lace. Instead I got A-Line, huge train, sweetheart neckline and strapless. I considered buying a new wedding dress but I knew I was pressed for time. Went for my first fitting and my nightmares came alive! I hated it!!!! I felt fat! I felt like the dress wasn’t ME I just hated it. I wanted to cry for spending so much $$ on a dress I hated. So I decided if I cant change my dress I will get a reception dress. So go I look. Meanwhile I lost a good 15 lbs and started feeling better. Went for my 2nd fitting and had a change of heart! I made sure to do my hair as I would on my wedding day, did my MU put on my jewelry and my wedding shoes! What a difference it made. I felt beautiful amazing and a bride. Maybe it was the weight, maybe it was me, maybe it was in my head but at that moment I knew I didn’t need any other dress. And on my wedding day when I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror I knew I made the right decision. My MIL could not stop saying ”OMG Michelle” and me saying “I Know” LOL…. My LOVE MY DRESS!!!!!!PS: I spent very little time with my salesgirl but I did LOVE my seamstress! She was amazing. PPS: everyone at Bijou has been nothing but friendly, professional and courteous. They actually gave me a gift when the time came to pick up my dress. A beautiful pearl necklace ☺PPS: LOL the reason they are getting 3 stars for value is bcoz my dress altho very beautiful was really a lot PLUS the alterations (which was $300) that was supposed to include EVERYTHING didnt. like my bustle (french bustle) was another $50 and the cups they added was another $25. so after everything is said and done, i paid an extra $375 on top of my dress. had i known it was gonna be that much i would have went someplace else.

Great saleswoman. No pressure!

When I first walked into Bijou Bridal, I had immediately decided that I wanted to buy my gown there. The sales lady was very helpful and professional and I wound up buying my gown the first time I was there. Once my gown came in and my fittings started, that's where it all went down hill. The seamstress who first started doing my fittings was clueless. She did my first fitting, did some pinning and tucking and I left happy and excited, this was such a great experience so far. When I returned for my second fitting, my gown still needed a ton of alterations and I was not happy. They had inserted 2 sets of cups, which I was told I needed during the first fitting which made my entire chest area look lumpy and terrible. When I asked her to take them out, she told me that I had told her that was what I wanted and now she had to take them out. Excuse me, but you are the seamstress who supposedly works with wedding gowns everyday, and she was the one who had suggested double cups. That is when I got annoyed, she was blaming me for her poor judgement when in fact the only reason she wanted me to have double cups was so they could charge me $50 for them. Things just got worse from there. Finally, another seamstress worked with me and she was very snooty as well (in the beginning). She told me I couldn't get my money back for my cups because "they had touched my skin"!! Didn't every gown in the place that I had tried on touch someone else's skin? What a lame excuse. After 3 more fittings they finally got it right, sort of! I really feel they ordered my gown an entire size too big just so I had to do alterations and the top did not sit right, no matter how many times they tried to alter it. They were more or less arguing with me because i was not satisfied. I guess that meant they had to do more work!!! Additionally, the fitting rooms were always dirty with garbages filled to the top, thread and pins everywhere on the floor. Very dangerous to have pins all over the floor where you are walking bare foot to try on gowns. I brought it to the attention of the receptionist who told me "they they do so many fittings that it gets like that on a daily basis"! Well then empty your garbage and vaccuum on a daily basis. When all was said and done, I was happy with my gown, but the service on the part of the seamstresses was absolutely terrible! I would suggest if you buy your gown there, have your alterations done somewhere else!!!!

My mother got her dress for my wedding here. It was ok. I got all my of dresses (my dress and brides maids dresses) at Tinas Bridal in totowa, nj. They also have a tuxedo place attached to it called Roberts Tuxedo's which we got all of the Tux's for the wedding from as well. Bijou was very expensive. We found the same dress at Tina's for about half the price and tina's alterations are much cheaper! (we found her dress at tina's after we had already purchased it from Bijou) At Bijou the charged my mom and additional $50 dollars ( my mom called it the "fat fee") because she had to order a size 16. Actually they tried to order her an 18 and my mother argued them and said she didnt need it that big. They made her sign a waiver to order a different size than what they suggested. Low and behold when she got the 16 in she still needed $200 dollars worth of alterations to make it smaller. She actually got into a fight with the seamstress because she kept telling my mom the dress was perfect when it clearly wasnt. Luckily my aunt asked to work with BETTY because she has worked with her before and Betty was able to fix it. But all in all I just wish we would have gotten her dress at Tina's with the rest of ours. She would have been treated a lot better there. Bijou just always made you feel like you werent as good as they were. I dunno not my favorite thing about my wedding. O well Live and learn

I went here yesterday with my sister to look for her wedding dress. Our salesperson was SO unhelpful and unenthusiastic about her job. She gave us NO help, besides clipping my sister in her dress. You would think when someone tells you they have no budget for a dress you would be eager to help and make a sale...instead this girl was nasty and acted as if we were inconviencing her.
We found a dress she loved, but will buy it elsewhere due to the nasty sales help!

Before I went to Bijou Bridal, I had visited several bridal stores in my search for a perfect wedding gown. When I finally made an appointment and walked inside the Bijou Bridal, I was really amazed how beautiful it looked inside. Perfect decor made me feel like a true bride compering to the other stores that I had visited. Comfortable sofas and bridal albums made a great impression on me and my family. The store is well organized. Four floors. Wedding gowns on a third floor where you even can take an elevator!Wedding gown search went really smooth, my consultant ( don't remember her name) was really helpful. Receptive to my comments and concerns. I found my gown on a third try on. I was so happy I went to Bijou. Problems started when I purchased the gown. All of the sudden, the service got worse. I had to wait an additional month for a piece of material that I bought together with my dress and there was nobody willing to help me. I kept calling every week for a month asking if it had already arrived. One of my bridesmaid's dress arrived too short and before she purchased it, they had taken her measurements!!! Overall they caused a lot of unnecessary stress for me and my bridal party.They need better customer service and friendlier attitude toward their clients!!!!!!!

VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE THAN OTHERS SEEM TO HAVE HAD.... WENT HERE FOR A DRESS FOR MY MAID OF HONOR... AFTER WE SELECTED A GOWN THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED (TOTALLY ENDED UP BEING AWFUL FOR HER BODY TYPE) THEY PROCEEDED TO "MEASURE" HER WELL CLEARLY DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB BECAUSE THE DRESS CAME IN SIGNIFICANTLY TOO SMALL....THEY THEN OFFERED TO "FIX" IT AT HER COST WHICH THEY "TRIED" TO DO FOR OVER 2 MONTHS WORTH OF FITTINGS .... SO SORRY WE EVER WENT THERE... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SKIP THIS SHOP AND HEAD OVER TO EITHER HELEN BOHN OR RK BRIDAL YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

MISERABLE SERVICE. When I fist got there, I really enjoyed it. Everyone was being nice and the selection was great. However, the staff was terrible when I started trying on dresses. When my mom asked if they could shorten the train, the woman replied "I don't know! I don't make the dresses, I just sell them" and rolled her eyes. We were almost sold on a dress and asked if I could try on a veil to seal the deal and she looked at her watch and said "My next appointment has been here for 15 minutes, we don't have time for that. You need to get out of this dress now." She wouldn't tell me the designer of the dress or even where it fell in my price range! (Who knows if it was actually IN my price range!) Then, when leaving, we stopped on the second floor and just thumbed through bridesmaids dresses to see what kind fo selection they had, and someone asked if we were being helped. I said that we were just heading out of a brial appointment and she said "You can't be here then. You need to leave right now." and grabbed the dress from my sister's hand. So we left. I may have liked a dress there, but this is the last place I would buy one. I would never want to deal with them for fittings.

The sales girls are very unprofessional and inexperienced !! There dresses lack quality and updated styles. If you want to be sold anything by the sale girls that are completely clueless on what a bride and her bridal party need since they are all girls with no experience in bridal !!! And what they tell you on the day of you purchase is not what you end up with!! Since it's your special day I would think twice before coming here and taking a chance with your dress and bridesmaids dresses on the most important day of your life that you dreamed of since you were a little girl!

I recently got married and went to Bijou to check out MOB dresses with my mom and MOG dresses with my now MIL. First of all, God forbid you walk into that place without an appointment....I understand it to a point, but they were RUDE about how we needed an appointment. I can understand needing one if you're looking for a bridal gown, but for a mother of the bride dress??? Give me a break. My mom knows how to zip and unzip her own dress and it's not like they didn't have any free dressing rooms....what a bunch of bull....I actually went in there with my mother in law and we started to pull a few dresses for her to try on and they literally RIPPED the dresses out of her hands and told her she needed and appointment. I also had the pleasure (note the sarcasm) of having to purchase a bridesmaid dress there too. Yes, the dresses were beautiful, but they told me the alteration cap was $65. Well I, along with other bridesmaids, were charged over that. I had to make an appointment to pick up my dress (what is that?), and when I did, I still had to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready (I'm pretty sure they were quickly steaming it in the back while i was sitting there when they had A WEEK to get it done). This place is annoying and I would never recommend anyone to go there. There are a TON of bridal shops around that are willing to accommodate you. I would never choose this one.

Warning to All Future Brides !! Please learn from what happened to me at Bijou Bridal ! I went and picked up my wedding dress that was from there so called Bijoui Couture Line of Bridal Gowns and it's MADE IN CHINA And 100% POLYSTER I'm crushed my wedding is to soon to even get another dress. When I tried on there sample this label was NOT in there sample dress now it's all paid for and I'm stuck with a dress they charged over $4,000 for and it's made from the cheapest material a wedding dress can be made from!! They are a disgrace !! To sell this to anyone is a sin ya it's made from some special silk like they said . What LIARS!! I can not believe they would even sell this !! Now I know why the only tags in the samples you try on say only Bijou Bridal because if the other tags were to be seen NO ONE would buy their dream wedding dress from them!! Please DO NOT get taken by them like I did! Really there special line of dresses are not what they say and you do not find out the truth until your dress is paid in Full and it's to late!!

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO BIJOU BRIDAL IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY!!! Once they have your deposit on your wedding dress they treat you with no respect!! A complete 360 from when they are trying to sell you your wedding gown. This is suppose to be a wonderful experience the dress you dreamed of since you were a little girl. Well once they have your deposit they DO NOT call you back and everything they told you that was a lie to begin with. They will speak to you as if are in a dream world and they never told you what they say! Even though you and three of your bridesmaids all heard them tell you! They will tell you anything you want to hear in order to get a SALE!! A wedding dress is not cheap nor can you just go run out a week before your wedding to find another one once yours comes in after being on order for over six months and when it finally comes in and they can not alter it the way they said would be no problem to when you purchased! Then one sale girl lies to you while the other sales girl swears to there lies! They are unprofessional and have no experience with bridal gowns! Ladies please save yourself the heart ache and go somewhere else! Also there so called BIJOU line of wedding gowns are just cheap gowns with there tag inside ! They are not French lace or silk like they lie and tell you they are when you put the deposit down! They are made in china polyester!! They are nothing but liars the sales girls which also never worked with anything bridal until they started working at Bijou!!

ATTENTION BRIDES: DO NOT GO HERE!!! If you want a full service salon that will treat you well and with respect, don't bother going here. Once they have your deposit, they are obnoxious over the phone, do not get back to you in a timely fashion and when you do show up at the salon, the person you would like to speak with, in my case Tonya, was there but never "available". I was quite happy when I picked out my dress. It was the dress of my dreams that turned into an utter nightmare!!! I was assured that loops could be put on the buttons along the back of my dress without a problem. Later I came to find out that this was not indeed true. When Tonya took my measurements I did not agree with them and she informed me that they always like to go a little bigger just in case. This wound up being 3 dress sizes too big!!! This made the bottom puffier than expected b/c it was a size 10! I did not gain or lose any weight between my fitting and when I picked up the dress. I'm a 4, not a 10!!! It made it difficult to deal with the extra fabric and tulle underneath, but I did not have the time to allow for another dress. Thank goodness that I had an amazing seamstress who had to basically recreate my dress. The back wound up in a lower V, extra pleats needed to be added to the back, a new bustle had to be created AND I had to pay for all of this outside of their store. I did not use them for alterations after the way they treated me and bridesmaids while we were waiting for the dresses, we all just wanted them and to get out of there. As for my bridesmaids, 3 of the 4's dresses had to be altered so greatly that their seamstresses had to basically take apart their dress and gradually put it back together. Truly a nightmare for a bride-to-be. On a side note, they seem to think they are busy and packed like Kleinfeld's. One of my bridesmaids who is my brother's fiancé called last minute to see if she could come in to pick up her dress. She was in the area and it would have been convenient. She went with her sister and they had to wait and wait because they needed to get the dress in storage (aka the basement). They were also reminded several times that they should have made an appointment, even though when they called they were told that they would squeeze them in in-between appointments. It was the middle of the week and as they waited and waited, noticed that it was not busy at all!!! Maybe one or 2 people were being helped. You would have thought that they would be kinder to her in hopes of her using their services which indeed she is not! When I called Tonya to let her know that I was upset over the way she treated my brother's fiancé she told me that it was busy, never apologized and suddenly when I did call she was never available and the girls that answer the phone were very nasty. I stayed cool and calm since I still didn't have my dress, but was furious. So, all brides out there, AVOID BIJOU BRIDAL AT ALL COST! I do not understand how they have such a high rating, but indeed they are not top notch, they are more like top notch thieves. Once they have your money, they could care less.
