Bride Beautiful

The ladies at Bride Beautiful are super sweet and great to work with. I purchased my bridesmaids dresses through them and they had a wonderful selection at a great price. They were also always excited to talk to me when I was checking in on the bridesmaids orders.

It was a very pleasant experience to work with Bride Beautiful and the dresses were...

My meeting at Bride Beautiful was great! My dress was perfect & the associate who helped me let me try on as many dresses as i needed to! Great value as well, my dream dress happened to be on sale! i had no idea until i had already decided i wanted that one, looked down & it was on serious sale, WAY below my budget! PERFECT!

I showed up at Bride Beautiful two months before my wedding hoping to buy a dress off the rack after deciding the dress I had purchased 7 months prior was not the one for me. I received amazing service and was made to feel so welcome in the midst of a stressful situation. They worked with me to find exactly what I was looking for while staying in my price range and finding something off the rack. I am SO happy with the dress I ended up with and am very grateful to Bride Beautiful for such a positive experience.

Great place to buy a dress. They are not paid on commission so they work with your budget and ideas very well. They lady was so friendly and patient with me as I tried on so many dresses. I bought my dress here after looking several places and finding the same brands for much more. They are very reasonable.

Their selection is vast, and their salespeople are sweet. They're always packed, so definitely make an appointment. They don't allow photos to be taken until you actually make a purchase, though. That's a little annoying!

My experience at Bride Beautiful was great!

Let me start off by saying that I was very apprehensive about dress shopping. Clothing shopping is usually a hit or miss situation for me, even after losing a large about of weight. I was really dreading this day.

We had visited one other salon in the morning and found some dresses we liked, but they were decidedly over budget. We then went to Bride Beautiful at the recommendation of my wedding planner and we had an amazing time. Gail was very friendly right away to me and my group (Mother, Grandmother, and wedding planner). Putting on the dresses wasn't the terrifying experience I had built up for myself. Not only did the sample sizes actually fit (and I'm no model here), but some were a little big. You don't know what that does to help the experience.

We had figured out at the previous store that we liked the blush color on me best, so we told her that and she knew right away which dresses came in those colors. She let us pick some dresses to put on, but none were really wowing, so she popped out and came back with what ended up being my dress. The sample they had was actually in the pearl rose color (my imagination isn't great with stuff like that). Even after I had it on, it still wasn't *it* until she picked up a sash and tied it up in a special knot. It was then that everyone knew, even the parents of the girl next to us could help but comment. Gail, and the other ladies at BB, know their dresses!

Of course, I was not one to buy as is, it seems. I spent considerable time in alterations (sewing in the sash, adding the sweetheart neckline my mom loved so much, etc). I also needed a bolero jacket for the church ceremony so they ordered extra fabric from the company. Unfortunately, the lace that was sent was border lace instead of just the fabric lace, but they made it work. My bolero was truly a masterpiece.

If I ever got married again (not that I would ever go through this whole wedding mess again), I'd definitely come here for my dress. Ask for Gail!

The floor sales people are extremely nice but the manager can be a bit rude. They will not budge on their prices for the dress or for alterations. Although the lady that does alterations does a great job I would recommend you take your dress to someone else because they are a bit pricey. Also I had to call to see if my dress had arrived they never contacted me once about my dress or alterations appointments.

I cannot say enough about Bride Beautiful. Their selection of dresses is amazing. Their willingness to negotiate prices is wonderful. My consultant listened to me, directed me in the right direction, and helped me find the perfect look for our big day!

I bought my Casablanca 2004 dress at Bride Beautiful and I had absolutely no troubles! I was a bit late dress shopping, but they still managed to get my dress in on time! When I did get my dress in, it was a bit big and after 4 fittings, it could not have fit more perfectly! The dress looked stunning in my photos and I could not be happier! Thank you Bride Beautiful!

This place is a girls dream, and I am not that typical girl. So I was being very optimistic going in, but I might say they gave me ten clips to pick dresses I would like to try on. Well, it was the first dress....then she added but we tried on a few more and it didn't measure up, so I put the first dress back on, and then she went and got the sash and it was over, that was the one. Joan, my consultant was great she did an awesome job. I love...my dress. They helped me with my maid, matron, and bridesmaid dresses and everyone was beautiful. I cannot wait to see everyone's pics...it will be just beautiful...and my earrings was perfect...it all came together. Oh and my seamstress was great, because I was losing weight and she worked with me and made me look even more gorgeous....Thanks guys for having such gorgeous dresses...love this place...

PLUS SIZE BRIDES BEWARE!! They do not deserve even ONE star! This was the worst experience ever! Even thought their website states "Please also visit our plus size section. We have one of the largest selections of plus size samples in the Atlanta area!" they had 2 dresses in a size 20, 2 dresses in a size 22, and NOTHING above that.. although the sales girl said they could "hold the dresses up to me" and that "they could be ordered bigger, for an additional fee".. Oh, and she constantly urged me to "go online and look because all of their dresses are online" .. They advertise dresses from Mori Lee on the site, a popular line for plus sized brides.. None of those dresses are available to actually try on in the store. I would never buy a dress without trying it on first! Who does that? Their site is a perfect example of false advertisement! The store was dirty and the sales girl a teenager that knew nothing about the gowns.. A plus sized girls worst nightmare is to go to a store and have NOTHING fit right.. I left in tears.. would not have made the appointment if the site had not been misleading.. I highly recommend that you don't waste your time going here!! Alfred Angelo is a couple of miles away, and has a TON of dresses for every size, doesn't charge more for plus sizes, and has excellent customer service!

Perfect dress for my body! The only downside is there hours...Just make sure to get an appointment, as they book up fast. They are the oldest bridal store in the Atlanta area and definitely the best band for your buck. They have dresses for any price range.

Out of all the dress shops I visited, Bride Beautiful had the best selection and service by far!!

I went to Bride Beautiful and found the perfect dress there for a reasonable price! The dresses are reasonably priced and there is a wide selection and range of prices. My consultant (Cherri) was really supportive of my choices and was honest with what she thought looked good and not. I ended up cancelling the first dress I purchased 2 days after I bought it and found something better at the store and it was really no hassle.

I had a really good experience in the beginning with bride beautiful. I loved my consultant and was able to find a dress a really loved. They were even willing to negotiate a price and work to make sure that I was happy. They made sure that my dress would come in on a timely manner and I would be able to get it altered. The person who altered my dress was really nice, but the first time she altered it there were a few things that she forgot to do. She altered it more, and the second time the length was still wrong. Finally it was too late and I couldn't get it altered anymore. The day of the wedding my dress seemed okay, but the ruffles created to shorten the length fell out. My dress became WAY to long and the bottom no longer looked as beautiful. I had to hold my dress up as I walked down the aisle because otherwise I would've fallen. When I spoke to the store about this I let them know how much I loved everything but I told them what went wrong. They never apologized, and were very rude saying that the dress was fine when it left the store. I would NOT recommend paying nearly $300 for alterations just to have lackluster service.

I felt very comfortable working with my bridal consultant at Bride Beautiful. It was the first place I went to, and I purchased my dress that day. They were one of the only stores I saw online that had a variety of one-shoulder dresses- which is what I was looking for. Very please with their service.

This is one of the best bridal shops in Atlanta. If you're looking for a dress in the 500 - 2K budget, this is the place for you. The staff is friendly and allow you to browse openly and the dresses are all out. If you're looking for a bargain, they have dresses in the back room for under 1K. I purchased my dress here and my bridal consultant Taquida, was amazing. She picked out the perfect dress for me and was not pushy at all. The alterations ended up being more than I expected but the seamstress, Gloria, did a great job on the dress. Overall I loved my experience, the quality of the dress, and the customer service.

Bride Beautiful has a great selection of dresses and they are all very reasonably priced. The ladies at Bride Beautiful were very helpful with picking out my dress and the bridesmaid's dresses. My only issue with them was that my dress wasn't hemmed correctly and it was too long. It caused some issues the day of the wedding but luckily my wedding planners fixed it.

I purchased my Allure wedding gown from Bride Beautiful the day after Thanksgiving, and I received my dress in the middle of April. I had 3 fittings throughout the summer before my wedding in August. They were very accomodating during the whole process. I was able to bring my very large family with me to watch me try on dresses! They were helpful in assisting me choose the perfect dress for my beach wedding, and I was able to go through all the dresses in the store to choose what I wanted instead of them choosing for me. If I could change one thing, it would be me not being specific enough with the tailor in regarding what I wanted. I would have preferred my dress to be hemmed a little shorter, but she kept insisting that it would be fine. However, if I had been more firm with my decision, I know she would have gladly hemmed the dress for me. My advice would be to be specific with what you want during your alterations.

If you are looking for great service, great ppl, great selection, and for dresses that are more couture in look than the dresses you would find at David's Bridal...then this is the spot to visit! I and all my bridesmaids had a great experience here!

Everyone at Bride Beautiful was very easy to work with, in my experience. My consultant, Cheri, helped me find the perfect dress. I really liked Bride Beautiful because they had A TON of dresses for a modest price (most are around $1000.) It took 5 months to get my dress in, so plan ahead! (It was well worth the wait!)

This was the fourth dress shop I visited and they had the most beautiful dresses by far! The owner was rude to me during my first "browsing" visit and I almost didn't return. I'm glad I did. My consultant, Cheri, was very nice and the seamstress, Gloria, was incredible! My dress was simple and classic, but absolutely beautiful! I ordered the dress six months before my wedding, which they said was a little late, but the dress arrived on time and was altered and ready to wear in plenty of time!

Great experience until it was time for alterations. Store manager did not listen to complaints about alterations and pushed it off onto other excuses why it was the way it was. Made me feel as if I was inconviencing here when we ran 10 minutes past store closing time due to her not listening that I was not happy. Not sure that I would use them again.

Bride Beautiful has a really nice selection of gowns for brides who have a modest budget - mine was $1500 and this store was perfect for my price range. They have lots of designers and styles, and best of all, a VERY knowledgeable sales staff. I ended up falling in love with an Allure couture gown that I had originally passed over because I didn't like the top of it, but when Cherie my sales clerk put it on me and tucked bits and pieces away showing what alterations could do, I knew it was the one! I ordered extra fabric and had a custom lace shrug made for me too. Great staff, great service, definitely great value. Try to avoid going on weekends though, because they get SLAMMED. Make weekday appointments, and if you want a weekend fitting, book it MONTHS ahead of time. The seamstress is also only there on certain days, but she did an excellent job with my dress.

I had nothing but great service at Bride Beautiful! Every time I went in they made me feel so special. I ordered my dress almost a year before my wedding date. When I came in 8 months later my consultant still remembered me and was so sweet. The lady who helped me at my final fitting was amazing! When I came to pick it up a couple days before the wedding they had it steamed, and ready to go! No complaints!

I got my dress at Bride Beautiful and it was a great experience. I worked with Cherie and she was excellent. I got a gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress and I found the dress and alterations to be very reasonably priced. The service was great and I loved going in there.

The only reason I gave them 4/5 for quality is that I wish the dress had been packaged better. It was put on a bust for transport with was great, but I wish it had been in a garmet bag or something a little more sturdy than the plastic bag.

I also got my veil there and I LOVED it. I had picked out a veil I liked, but when a sales associate saw me try it on with my gown she told me of another veil that had jsut come that she thought would fit perfectly with my dress, and it did! Their veil prices are VERY reasonable.

Overall, I was very happy with my experience adn would recommend all Brides to take a look at their selection.

I LOVED my dress, got so many compliments on it as well. The prices were very good here and the alterations lady was so nice!!

I found my beautiful dress at BB. I live in Savannah, so I had to drive for this dress. The initial service was great, very excellent customer service. BUT when my dress came in and I drove to pick it up...the strap was missing. This dress came with a one should strap (the whole reason I loved and bought the dress)--and the consultant didn't know what I was talking about when I said "where is the strap?" So she played it off as "oh well you could always wear it without the strap". That really upset me being that I drove 4 hours for that dress. So it took 2 1/2 months for the strap to be shipped to me--it was a good thing I did not wait closer to my wedding date to pick up the dress!!

The staff here is great!!! I loved my dress!

Bride Beautiful is a fantastic bridal store. Their selection is unmatched, and they don't treat you like you're lucky to be in their store, like a few of the other bridal stores I visited! My particular sales lady remembered my name EVERY SINGLE TIME I came in (though I fee like a jerk forgetting hers in all the craziness that is wedding panning), even without an appointment! She was by my side to help me decide what I wanted in my wedding dress without being pushy, and she also helped us get a discount on a dress that wasn't even on sale! When we were having trouble finding local vendors we wanted, she was there to make all the recommendations she could think of.

I went to about 7 wedding dress boutiques, and Bride Beautiful was the one that really made the dress experience personal and not cheesy. You will not be disappointed! I looked like a princess at my wedding, and you will too if you shop there!

I had a great experience at BB. Joan was wonderful as well as the others. They don't treat you like just another bride. I understand how they get so busy on the weekend so make your appt during the week. The only problem I had was....I added a flower strap to my dress that needed to be adjusted after my final fitting but it was not done. When I called the manager, she was willing to correct it even after my wedding. I would still go to them over and over again. Their inventor is always changing so it's hard going in there after purchasing your dress.

Gail at Bride Beautiful is the best consultant they have. Request her when you call to set an appointment. She is great with all personalities and knows how to adapt to make sure each bride finds "her" perfect dress. Regardless of her personal style (which is not really revealed or discussed), she puts herself into the bride's shoes and can make suggestions that she feels that particular bride will like. I don't know how she does it, but she does.
She just knows what will look best on you, and she knows what you want even if you don't think you even know what it is. Great boutique!

I originally went to Bride Beautiful because they were the only place in the Atlanta area that had the particular dress that I wanted to see. I am so glad that I went there as they truly made the experience exciting. I felt like a princess as Gayle truly listened to what I was looking for, and took the time to put me into dresses that flattered my figure. I ended up going with the dress I originally came in to see, and am so grateful that Gayle took the time to help me realize that it really was the dress of my dreams! One more thing- I am on the shorter side, and Bride Beautiful was able to help with this by taking so many measurements and having the dress made to fit my height. This was important to me, as they were able to take some length out of the mid-section, and thus I didn't have to loose any of the design on the bottom of the dress due to alterations. The dress fit perfectly when it arrived!

I purchased my dress during a sample sale. I was VERY happy with it for the money.

Wonderful to work with! I ordered my bridal dress from Bride Beautiful and had a great experience. It is a maginificent dress and an amazing price! I couldnt ask for anything more!

The manager is extremely rude and if I had not already bought my dress I would have never gone back. The prices are great and the staff (beside the manager) are all pleasent to work with. They do wonderful alteration work and the woman who does them is fantastic and a joy to be around.

Bride Beautiful was so helpful w/my dress. It was already a gorgeous dress and Gloria altered it a little just the way I wanted and made it my perfect dress! And she was very flexible when I had to reschedule a fitting at the last minute just a month before my wedding. Bride Beautiful was the 2nd store I went to when I started dress shopping and I ended up w/the 3rd dress I tried on :-) Great experience!

I had a fabulous experience at Bride Beautiful. I bought my gown there, had the alterations done there, and my bridesmaids gowns were purchased there as well. Everyone that I ever spoke with there was always very nice, very helpful, and very professional.

Gail York was my consultant and she was fabulous -- she knew exactly what I wanted before I did -- within an hour I had my dress and veil, which was amazing for someone who took 30 minutes to decide the type of pizza she wanted the night before. I went back the next day and got my shoes. Gail then pulled some jewelry out and my mom said, "oh, those earrings look like your grandmother's earrings that I have." Gail promptly put her earrings away and said, "you should wear your grandmother's earrings." She probably would have made a sale -- but, found that sentiment in this case was more important than her commission.

I actually ended up buying my dress off the rack. The only thing I should have maybe requested to do before I bought it was to talk to the seamstress before I bought it. I really didn't want pleats in my dress and because I bought it off the rack it was too big on me. Gail had said it would be an easy alteration -- because of all the beading, it wasn't. I did end up having to have some small pleats in the back, which ended up being much better than I feared. So, this is when I question what I would have done if I knew about the pleats -- but it off the rack at a pretty big savings or order it in my size -- not sure what I would have done in that case.

The seamstress, Gloria was absolutely amazing -- basically she had to reconstruct the entire dress and did a fantastic job with it, the pleats ended up being much more subtle than I thought they would be – which was great! She also did do the alterations of one of my bridesmaids, which was also completed with perfection! I wish I could find a seamstress, as talented as Gloria to fix all my other clothes!

BOTTOM LINE: I would definitely recommend Bride Beautiful and if I had to do it all over again I would want Gail and Gloria to be the ones that I worked with again! The only thing I might suggest would be to ask to speak to the seamstress prior to buying anything off the rack.

I love my dress and if I needed another one I would look here. They have a fantastic selection of bridal gowns. But they are lacking in nice service. I really did not have good feelings about my consultant. The alternations done by Sima were fantastic and she made me feel really good about the dress and how I looked in it.

I had a wonderful experience at Bride Beautiful. They are one of the few places in ATL that stock the gorgeous Maggie Sottero dresses; I came in just to see them, and I was not disappointed. I found my perfect dress immediately, but tried on a few more anyway, just to be sure. The women there are all very nice and make you feel special. These dresses are gorgeous, and look like they could be 4 times as expensive as they are. The alterations department is top notch, as well. They accommodated my rather unusual alterations request, and although they couldn't quite get it the way I wanted, they suggested something that ended up working out even better. They even recommended that I bring a friend in to make sure that they knew how to do my 15-point bustle. I couldn't have been happier with how my dress looked on my wedding day. Great job all around!

The only reason I put the value as a 4 is that I saw my same dress about $200 cheaper in a store in Greensboro, NC (just a week after I bought mine). I know that Atlanta's market is more expensive, but I was upset to see that it made such a difference.

I got a beautiful Allure gown from Bride Beautiful for less than $1000. The bridesmaids' dresses were also nice.

I chose Bride Beautiful because I wanted a dress that was under $300. After receiving an email about a sample sale at Bride Beautiful, I decided to test them out. So, first I had to fill out a form, then wait in a long line, and lastly wait a very long time for my name to be called. I had been to several bridal boutiques in Atlanta that were very fancy, had fantastic service, but this one was not one of them (especially considering that it was such a chaotic weekend for them). I felt like the sales woman was really trying to sell me a blue wedding gown that was a hard-to-sell piece, but I left there with a gorgeous, gorgeous gown(!) that was under $300 (Mission Accomplished!) and everyone thought it was way more expensive that it was. SO, if you have the cash, RUN (don't walk!) to Kelly's Closet, a excellent bridal boutique in Inman Park.

I would definitely recommend Lori's for wedding dresses! They are very professional and they have a nice selection of designer gowns. I would recommend getting your dress during a trunk show so it will be cheaper.

Bride Beautiful was terrible. We first went there for a wedding dress, their selection in my size was nearly non-existent. We did find a bridesmaid dress we liked there, and ordered it four months before the big day. They told us it would take 4-6 weeks to come in. Two months later I give them a call, and they say no, it takes 4-6 Months for a bridesmaid dress to arrive (this was a major brand in a normal size), which would mean it wouldn't be ready in time for the wedding. When the shoes arrived 3 weeks before the wedding, they weren't dyed. They tried to sell us the sample bridesmaid dress, with huge rips up the back, no discount. Every time we went back, there were different people working there. We never got a call when an item was ready, and they could never find the things I'd ordered, and couldn't get straight my name, that I was the bride, my bridesmaid's name, and that she was the bridesmaid. Everything was overpriced to boot. Avoid this place, it'll only bring you difficulties, negativity and stress.

I came to Bride Beautiful after having a bad experience at another Atlanta store. I was pretty much certain I wanted about the dress I wanted, but I'm 6'2 and needed extra length. The other store told me that they couldn't get my Maggie Sottero with any extra length. I was extremely dissappointed, but not ready to give up, so I visited Bride Beautiful with my mother.
We worked with Crystal, who was so sweet and helpful. I didn't feel pressured at all. After trying on a few dresses, I knew that the one I originally had in mind was The One. Although the store didn't have that dress, they quickly looked it up and made a phone call and assured me that they could get the extra length. My mom and I decided to purchase it that day, a year and a half before the wedding. The owner was also offered to match the price at the other store, which was incredible. Everyone was extremely helpful, and I got measured in a similar Maggie style.

The dress came in on time and was the perfect length. Crystal also helped us to pick a veil and get that with extra length as well. The store held the dress for me until the wedding, which was so helpful since we purchased it so far in advance. When it came time for alterations, everything was done perfectly.

I can't reccomend Bride Beautiful highly enough. They are extremely friendly and knowlegeable, without being pushy or salesy. This is the store for you if you want a great selection and great service at a great price.

I bought my dress, my bridesmaids' dresses, and all accessories here. Gail York was a great help finding something in my budget and Gloria's alterations were perfect (especially considering I had gained weight). The staff were professional and courteous throughout the year I worked with them. I got lots of compliments on my dress, which I got on sale for less than $700! Thanks!

I got my dress from BB. I didn't receive the 5 star treatment but I was treated with respect and in the end I got the dress I wanted. They have a great selection of affordable gowns and the alteration woman was great with working with me on what I wanted. They are a busy shop but they are pretty organized. Don't expect champagne and the red carpet but if you want an affordable dress and be treated with respect, this is the place!

The store manager Lindsey I believe her name was is fantastic. She was on top of everything, I got a better price that other stores that carried the dress and they special ordered this one for me. The alterations were great and so was the service, ask for the mgr she is adorable and so sweet!

On the recommendation of both a girlfriend and my aunt, I called Bride Beautiful to see if they had any dresses in my budget. I met with Gail the next day, and we went through the series of dresses - ultimately coming back to the first one I tried at this bridal shoppe (I had been elsewhere and tried on several others)... The gown was perfect! And I found the most elegant, simple detailed veil to compliment my gown. Gail was a pure delight to work with. Over the weeks to come, we even found my bridesmaids gowns & flower girl dress at Bride Beautiful. I had researched online and found the bridesmaid dress I wanted, and did comparative pricing around Atlanta and even in the various states where my bridesmaids lived... Bride Beautiful was consistent in not only competitive but the best prices! My matron-of-honor had seen the same bridesmaid gown for $60 MORE than Bride Beautiful's price. When my flower girl's gown arrived sporting an ORANGE-red sash instead of the "red-red" show in the catalog, the team at Bride Beautiful was quick to respond and found the exact desired color to replace the ORANGE one! Their on-site alterations seamstress, Gloria, was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. Not only did she alter/take-in my wedding gown, but I had to re-work my late mother's dress to use as my rehearsal gown. It turned out far better than I could have ever expected! Actually, during my final fitting, it was Gloria who suggested the bracelet & earrings to go with my gown. I had been looking high & low, and there they were....the perfect accessories, right in the shoppe! I highly recommend the gowns, quality, team, expertise and more at Bride Beautiful! They were a pure delight.

Bridal Beautiful offers a wide selection of bridesmaid, flower girl, and mother of the bride dresses. The consultants are friendly and very willing to help. Also, the store is well-stocked, so a bride is able to see the dresses she likes in person.

Strangely there didn't seem to be that big of a selection of dresses even though the actual store was gigantic. The whole "chain" link that they move in order for you to go look at dresses seems overly dramatic. The associates were friendly, and overall I had an ok experience.

I loved my dress and they helped make it custom to what I specifically wanted. They have great jewelry available and a good selection of wedding party dresses. Affordable prices and friendly staff. It does get busy though and make sure if you have any specifics that it's noted in your file.

I was fortunate enough to be able to catch a great sale at Bride Beautiful before I'd even intended to look for my dress. (I went to browse bridesmaids' dresses shortly after I got engaged.) In under an hour, I found the perfect dress at a fraction of its normal cost. There were minor things that needed to be fixed - some of the crystals on the applique at the waist needed tightening up and the pull on the zipper was broken, but even with the cost of the repairs and other normal alterations, I probably saved $600 on my dress. For the most part, the staff was a pleasure to work with. Amy and Cheri in particular were quite helpful. The bridesmaids' dresses came in ahead of schedule and were beautiful. They were shipped to my out of town bridesmaids quickly. Overall, I was quite pleased with my experience with Bride Beautiful.

They have a large selection of dresses at every budget level. They were very helpful and knowledgeable pre-sale. I was a bit disappointed by the service after the sale was made. I spent $1,700.00 on a dress and it was in a plastic bag instead of a dress bag. That is minor but when you think about transporting the dress and then post wedding, I think they could splurge for some dress bags. I just felt like after the sale I wasn't a priortiy anymore, they had the money. I loved my dress but I would probably shop around for the dress at another shop if I had known.
The lady that does the alterations is wonderful however, I would give her a 5/5. She was there for me! And she altered my dress perfectly and revamped my mother's vail flawlessly.

My favorite part about my wedding was my dress. I was looking for a specific designer (Maggie Sottero) and this was one of the few stores that carried her. They didn't have the particular dress I wanted (no one in any southern states did....) and since I didn't want to order a dress without trying it on first, I let them pick out several other similar dresses for me. The ladies there were just beyond helpful. They helped me dress, they gave me the pros/cons about each dress I tried on, and they were very helpful with the pricing. Also, I was on a time crunch and they worked so hard to get my dress in and altered on time. Since I ordered it so close to my wedding (4 months....Maggie Sottero dresses take 4-6 months to come in, by the way), it wasn't supposed to arrive until a week before the actual wedding, but they pulled some strings and got it in almost a month early. Also, they were great with my bridesmaid dresses. They came in quickly and were just excellent.

I had a great experience at Bride Beautiful from beginning to end.

The Staff at Bride Beautiful are AWESOME! I live out of state but got married in Ga and all the staff were so accomodating. One of the seamstresses came in on her day off to do my final fitting (i was flying in 4 days before the wedding). they gave me a call when my dress came in, when my veil arrived, and everything, and they have a ton of absolutly beautiful dresses to choose from!

I bought an Allure designer dress from Bride Beautiful! It was the first dress I tried on and I fell in love. They carry beautiful dresses and many well-known designers. I would recommend them to anyone!

I think my consultant's name was Gail. She was terrific. I got my dress the day that it came in...straight off the display. It was the only one they had in at that time. It was my size and I had to have it. Gail helped to make it happen. :-) Thanx again!

My dress came in right on time, and it was so much fun to work with Gail on getting the dress. She did an awesome job with helping me pick it out and was so responsive. She let me try on many dresses, and she was just great. So sweet and made me feel gorgeous!

Overall I do not have many negative feelings toward Bride Beautiful. I was very happy with my pre-purchase experience. Angela was my bridal consultant and she was very sweet and accomodating. She made the experience fun and offered her honest opinion with professionalism and a supportive nature. She was very complimentory which I think a lot of girls shopping for wedding dresses need! There was a wide variety of dresses (in regard to style) to try on and most of them were nicely displayed outside of bags. They also have a wide variety of bridesmaid dresses and bridal shoes to choose from. I wasn't too impressed with their veil options however. As a previous reviewer stated, I too felt a little pushed aside after my purchase was made. I live out of state and had to travel back and forth to Atlanta for dress fittings and such and felt that I was the only one making any communication efforts. It would take three phone calls over a week or so period to get a call back. However, I know others who have not had that issue at all. I appreciated that Bride Beautiful would store my wedding gown there so that I didn't have to worry about until the wedding weekend. I had mixed feelings about the alterations experience at BB. The woman who did my alterations often seemed put out or annoyed by my concerns over how the dress fit. The arm holes were too small and had to be altered twice, yet neither time did it feel like she loosened them at all. I wish that I had had time to take the dress somewhere else so that it fit better on my wedding day, but as I was out of state and my dress was at BB I didn't have time. So I might suggest alterations elsewhere. Overall, I would encourage brides to look at BB for their wedding needs.

I looked for wedding dresses in 3 different states before coming to Bride Beautiful in Georgia. The last dress I tried on ended up being the ONE. My desire was to have blue fabric added into the dress. The sales associates were very helpful in helping me meet that desire.
I also got my bridesmaid dresses here, which was great because I was able to order the same color blue fabric in their dresses for my own. I liked their flexible payment plan and the fact that they could ship each girl their dresses (for $20). Their dresses came fairly quickly, but mine took longer (ordered at end of Sept, arrived beginning of March). I lived out of town so I didn't end up getting my alterations done until a month before my wedding, which was a little stressful. However, the alterations lady was very good, and finished everything within a week. Overall, I was very pleased with the dress store.

PROS: Did quick alterations, had beautiful dresses, met my needs. If there were any cons, I would say that some of the accessories were overpriced. My cathedral length veil was almost half the cost of my dress. However, we were able to haggle with them to get the price lower.

I had read mixed reviews of Bride Beautiful but I had a very positive experience working with them. I found my wedding dress there It arrived in enough time and my alterations were done there as well. I thought the alterations were great. I think she may have changed how the bustling ties were altered at the last fitting as my friends had a hard time bustling it but in the end it all worked out. I would recommend them. I spent more than I wanted to but that was because I liked a higher end dress. I had originally gone to another vendor in an industrial area, and although I may have saved money buying my dress tehre, the experience would have paled in comparison. The service you get at bride beautiful is outstanding. My one word of advice, try not to go on the weekends. The place is packed. It's much easier going during the week.

Very happy with the level of service I got from this dress shop. The gowns they carry are in an affordable price range with a good selection of designers.

Found both my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses at BB. This was the first place that I went to and I kept going back. They have all of their dresses on formed hangers so you can see what they look like, rather than having them stuffed in a bag. I had a very attentive associate working with me during each visit (Angela) which was nice instead of having different people. I felt like a princess and Angela was so helpful with picking out a veil, showing me what the bustle would look like, etc. ( I went to another store with a friend and the associate said she didn't know the difference between a french and american bustle- what?!) The bridesmaids dresses were a tad expensive and I wish BB would find a bigger building, but other than that, it was a great experience.

A lady there named Njeri worked with me to find my dress...she was excellent, all 5's. She, however, has moved on, and the rest of the staff was not as helpful or friendly. They have a beautiful selection of dresses that are in the $500-$1500 range, give or take a hundred.

I had been to a lot of different websites and stores for a wedding dress. I thought Bride Bautiful had easiest way to see the dresses. They weren't in those bags or anything, they were just our on hangers and you can try on like 5 at a time. That was a nice change from other stores. They also helped me a lot with trying on my dress. Other stores just sent me in to do it myself, like I knew what I was doing?

This is my only complaint. After ordering my dress and having it measured correctly, it came in too short, not once, not twice... but three times! It was SO frustrating to have to keep going to the store that was 45 minutes away to make sure they measured the material correctly this time. They did take money off of my dress for such trouble with the dress, and that was nice.

My dress was beautiful, but still a little short, now that I got my pictures back... I see that.

Bride Beautiful does have rules and regulations as far as trying on dresses and the shop is not the most beautiful, but I ended up buying a sample dress at a great price off the rack. They kept it for me during the many months leading up to my wedding day and I only had to have the dress altered once. The alterations were a bit expensive, but I did have it shortened and a French bustle was added. Some of the staff seemed a bit harried at times, but I believe that is the nature of the bridal business and everyone I dealt with personally was easygoing.

They were great to work with!

Ask for Gale. She helped me find the dress I didn't even know that I was looking for. She will give you her opinion as if she were your mother. I loved her honesty and it kept me coming back to try on new dresses every other week until I found the one I loved. They do get new stuff in on a regular basis so I found my dress there after waiting about 2 months or so. You do need to make an appointment at this place because it does get busy (especially on Saturdays). I have recommended this place to all my girlfriends who have gotten married in the last 2 years.

My dress was beautiful and my dress person, Nigeri, was outstanding. However, get your alterations done elsewhere. Mine were a complete disaster. I had not gained or lost any weight but when I came in for my second fitting, she couldn't even zip the dress up...she had totally mismeasured it. Luckily it could be fixed but I would never have a dress fitted there.

Truly an amazing experience working with Bride Beautiful! From the time I started trying on wedding gowns...all the way through all the fittings...down to the pressing...to picking up the dress...they were so easy to work with! They made me feel so special! We got both my wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses from there. All the dresses turned out so beautiful! If you want friendly, kind, elegant, non pushy service...check out Bride Beautiful! :)

My dress was fitted and altered perfectly and their customer service was very accomodating. The price of the dress seemed very fair and it was perfect for my wedding day! They were also very helpful in selecting a gown and after trying on dresses elsewhere, I knew Bride Beautiful was the place with the best selection.

I loved my dress it was more than i wanted to spend but it was perfect! When I was looking the ladies were nice and professional and they tried to help me find a dress that looked good on me not just an expensive dress. We were a little late to a fitting because we were out of town and the seamstress wasnt very nice about, but other than that they were pretty good!

All but one employee was professional and accommodating. I had a beautiful dress, it came in ahead of schedule, and the seamstress was wonderful. She was professional, accurate and efficient.

We received nothing but great service every time we visited Bride Beautiful. My consultant, Georgiann, was a dream. She was so sweet and helpful and very enthusiastic. I found the perfect dress after only trying on 6. I thought my Maggie Sottero gown was a great deal, and they were able to match me up with the perfect veil and comb to go with my dress. The alterations process was quite easy, though I was pretty lucky because I only needed to have a bustle added to the gown! I would definitely recommend Bride Beautiful if you are looking for something different and out of the ordinary.

I got my dress at Bride Beautiful. I went to several other places to try on wedding dresses, but I ended up getting my dress there. I went there on a recommendation from a friend. I didn't' think I'd be able to afford any dresses there, but there were LOTS of gorgeous gowns in my price range. I went there to try on dresses 3 times and they were very helpful each time. At some dress shops, you have to make a separate appointment to try on veils and headpieces, but when I found the two dresses I wanted to narrow it down between, the woman that helped me found some in different lengths and styles for me to see the whole picture. I was very pleased with my experience there and would definitely recommend Bride Beautiful.

Update:
I have lowered my rating by 2 stars.

Within 2 weeks of when you order your dress, they say they will call and tell you when your dress will be in. I never heard anything and after a month, so I called them. Nothing. I have called 3 times since each time they say they don't know the ship date, but that they will call the manufacturer and then call me back. They have done none of these things. Each time they're like, you have plenty of time, you're getting married in August, right? No, I'm getting married in April, so I need my dress in by February. It's December already so they need to get their act together. I will continue to update.

I finally got an answer about when my dress would be shipped in early January: 1st or 2nd week of February they said.
February 13 - My consultant called to ask if I wanted to order bridesmaids dresses. I actually already had them, but why would I want to order them from Bride Beautiful when my wedding dress hasn't even come in. She said my dress was coming in any day now.

Friday, February 15 - The end of the last 2 weeks in February. I called and asked about my dress, as they said it would already be in. The shipping manager said they haven't been able to find out when my dress will be here because of the Chinese New Year (apparently my dress is being made in China). She said they take about a month off during that time. She said she was having a hard time getting a hold of anyone there because of that. She said she would get back to me Tuesday with a date. This must be one of the Chinese factories where they don't enslave their workers. Maybe that's why the dress is so expensive.

Tuesday, February 19 - The shipping manager called and said she still doesn't have a date for me, but that she's going to get in touch with someone there and have an answer for me by Friday.

Friday, February 22 - I called the shipping manager and asked about my date. She said it should be here within the next couple of weeks. WTF. My wedding is fast approaching and I still have to get alterations, not to mention the stress they have added to an already stressful situation. I asked her why they still didn't have a date. She rambled on about the Chinese New Year thing again and that I had ordered it in October, so that was before Thanksgiving and Christmas and then the Chinese New Year. Do the Chinese celebrate Thanksgiving??? Do these 3 events not happen every year??? Are you not able to plan around things that are a given??? Pretty weak excuses for such poor service. I also got my mom to call and see if they would give us free alterations for such added stress. The answer was no and my mom said the woman made it sound like the owner's a jerk. That would figure. Don't these places make money off of word of mouth referrals? You would think they would want to satisfy their customers instead of lie and disappoint.

Week of March 3 - I called Monday or Tuesday to see when the dress would be here. She said she expected it to be Thursday, but Friday at the latest and she would call me when it came in. I hadn't heard anything on Friday, so I called and she said it would be in tomorrow. I know you're like it's off by 1 day, but when they have continuously lied, it gets old.

My dress finally came in and then I had to go to the store to deal with rude snots not helping me. Ugh, so sick of this place. Also, I talked to my friend from China and she said that they absolutely would not take off a month for Chinese New Year, it would be a week max. Lies, lies, lies from Bride Beautiful.

After relaying my troubles to friends, they mentioned I should have given a false wedding date - like a month ahead. Too late! I want you to warn you, though! They say to order your dress at least 6 months in advance AND say your wedding date is sooner than it is. Good luck, Ladies!

I LOVE my wedding dress!! Bride Beautiful had a wonderful selection of dresses for very reasonable prices. I completely recommend the alterations specialist. The alterations specialist is so talented, easy to work with, and makes the experience pleasant.

I was NOT happy with the availability of the staff beyond the alterations specialist. After we paid for the dress on the first visit, I was not treated with the same courtesy on my following visits from the sales staff. I had a terrible time getting in touch with someone when I had to reschedule an appointment or check on the status of my dress.

First I should say that I walked into Bride Beautiful knowing exactly what I wanted in a dress. My consultant immediately told me that I was wrong. And she was absolutely right! These ladies know what they're doing, and the one-on-one service is very nice (if slow).

This isn't a discount dress shop so I can't fault them too much for being a little expensive. I can fault them for some confusion about my appointment times that resulted in my having to go back again and take two (instead of one) afternoons off work. But they were apologetic and everybody I worked with was extremely friendly. Plus, my dress was gorgeous. I didn't use them for shoes or bridesmaids etc. but they have a great selection.

i wouldn't recommend them. They are all nice and doting until you pay for your dress - then they are rude and unattentive. They didn't even have my dress pressed on the FRIDAY before my SATURDAY wedding when I went to pick it up. And then they told me that a french bustle would never fall but an american would. I kinda like the french better - so i went with it. well it RIPPED out after 2 dances at my reception... i'd go somewhere else.

Bride Beautiful was so great to work with. They were relaxed, and let me take my time and find what was right for me. They were not pushy, or over whelming. They were very flexible with me as well, I needed the dress shipped without me getting the alterations at the store, and they were willing to work with me. Their dresses were great afforable/reasonable prices. I had a hard time picking my dress from all of their wonderful selections.

I read a lot of bad reviews about Bride Beautiful, and I think the service is either hit or miss, but I was happy with my dress. The first time I went, I didn't have an appointment, and we ended up leaving because the wait was so long. The next time we stopped in, I also didn't have an appointment, but the consultant I ended up working with was GREAT! She was so nice and soooo patient. She spent almost two hours with me-even though I didn't have an appointment! (Njeri Griffin-ask for her for your consultant!) I found the perfect dress that day! The next time I went back was for my first fitting. I was a little upset because the dress seemed sooo BIG on me. I was worried that it would turn out ok. The seamstress was somewhat short with me, but in the end, she did a GREAT job. My dress fit perfectly! The last day I went to pick up my dress, a random consultant tried to talk me into buying a veil (which I had never wanted to wear) and that was a little annoying.

My dress was BEAUTIFUL!! I know most people think so, ha. But I got more complements on my dress than anything else for my wedding. Bride Beautiful was very professional and the employees helping you find and try on dresses are really sweet and helpful. The only complaint was I went twice when they were closed, and I live 30 min away. But that's my fault. So check their hours!! I got my bridesmaid dresses through them as well, and they turned out nice, and actually can be worn again to other functions, so my girls loved that (I let my MOH and sister in law help decide and pick them).

I got my dress, veil, head piece, shoes, and garter from Bride Beautiful. They were helpful, affordable, and my dress looked more expensive than it was. It was a wonderful experience. I really liked that all of their dresses are on body forms so you can really see what the dress looks like, instead of it just hanging on a hanger.

I loved my wedding dress and was able to find an amazing dress by Casablanca there for under $1000. The staff for the most part was great, the girl I had was wonderful however I sent a friend to get her dress there and the consultant she had was terrible. I would say it is hit or miss but they have a great selection of dresses and are very cost-effective. Its a great place to start looking for sure.

If you have gone dress shopping at all yet you know how frustrating it is sifting through tons of dresses in bags wondering what it looks like. Well at Bride Beautiful they have all the dresses on mannequins so you can see what they look like. You have to call and get an appointment to look at the dresses, but it is a great idea because there are not a million people in there at once and you get your own bridal consultant to help you. It all runs like clockwork, you just walk around and pick the dresses you want to try on (by clipping a colored clip to the hanger) and when you are ready the consultant will go and bring them to you (no hauling the heavy dresses yourself). I found a gorgeous dress that I thought would be way out of my price range but it was relatively (for dresses) inexpensive.

Also they have in house alterations, so people who have personally altered your same dress for someone else will be altering yours.

I thought that the people were nice and they had a good selection of dresses with a wide price range. However, some bridesmaids said that the reception people were not that great when calling with their sizes and measurements.

I went to BB for emergency dress shopping because my first dress had problems. My saleslady was very kind, listened to my problems, and immediately moved to help me as best as she could. She even let me try on more dresses than their usual 5 dress limit on a busy Saturday. The dress I bought ended up being the one she picked - and it was perfect. They even got it to me in 2 weeks at no additional cost! The price of the dress was very good. My shopping experience at BB was great.

My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the alterations. Alterations were a bit pricey - all I had done was to shorten the hem, add a 7 point french bustle, had cups put in, and a hook and eye at the top of the zipper. The bustle looked a little odd to me (stuck out on the sides, but I was told it was because I am so short), and the hook ended up falling off and I had to sew another one myself. I also found a loose needle stuck in my dress, and thankfully didn't hurt myself. Still, the dress fit and looked great on my wedding day.

Sherry at Bride Beautiful did an INCREDIBLE job helping me to find my perfect dress. She was the one who helped me pick out my perfect dream dress and to find the perfect bridesmaids dresses to go with it. The entire store was professional and so excited about our wedding. The seamstress was awesome. She made my dress fit my body perfectly after losing some unexpected weight right before our wedding. I would recommend this bridal store to any bride who wants to make her bridal gown decision as smooth as possible.

Bride Beautiful was my second stop in my hunt for a dress. I went early on a Saturday morning and my assigned consultant was great. She was so sweet and I didn't feel uncomfortable with her helping me with my dress. They had a large selection of dresses from Princess style to sheaths. I believe they only let me try on 5 or 7 dresses, but that was plenty. My gal, pulled out a few more dresses she knew would look great on me. And boy was she right - I bought the one she recommended. It fit me like a glove. I had my alterations done else where, but I've heard decent things.

A nice selection of dresses and they treated me well.

I looked all around Atlanta for the perfect dress, I found it at Bride Beautiful. They have a great selection. I loved my dress and my bride's maid dresses. The staff was great and very helpful.

I loved the way that Bride Beautiful made sure that someone was there for you and only you at that time. I had my own personal assistant to help pick out that all-important dress. There was no pressure, honest advice, and such friendliness. The ladies help match anything you want to go with your dress as well - shoes, veil, flower girl dresses. They even want you to bring in anything you might have purchased elsewhere (such as my shoes and tiara) so that you could see everything matched and was what you wanted! I enjoyed every bit of my time picking out, getting fitted for, and purchasing my dress. I even got my bridesmaids dresses here!

Bride Beautiful is a wonderful boutique of wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses! The staff is helpful and patient, and was never pushy. The store does get quite busy on Saturdays, so it is best to make an appointment so you can have ample amount of time to try on dresses. The store features a wide range of wedding day accessories, from veils and headpieces, to shoes, jewelry, and bridal party necessities. There is also a great selection of bridesmaid dresses – although your bridesmaids have to try on in a separate section of the store . This is actually nice, as it keeps dressing rooms open for brides, which means no waiting! Bride Beautiful provides alterations and on-site fittings and will prepare your dress for pick-up the week of the big day.

The dresses are beautiful and all on mannequins so it's easier to see what they look like. Have the owner lady help you - she is wonderful.

No real problems, no real raves either. Helps to go at an "off" time...I took a weekday off to do my actual shopping and the store was much calmer than on weekend visits

I had a wonderful experience with Kristin. She was always kind and patient as I returned multiple times to try on the same dresses for different people. When I finally picked one I liked, but didn’t like the neckline, she directed me to a store that had the dress with the other neckline to try on. She said if I liked it she would order it for me and match the price of the other store. My one complaint was that I had to follow up with Maggie Sottero to determine if the aesthetics of the skirt would remain in tact if the petite was ordered. I did order my dress with the package where they will press and hold the dress until the wedding day. I did call on Monday of that week to request a pick up on Thursday and they were not very helpful. I ended up keeping my Friday pick up time.

Wedding dress price was $100 less than anywhere in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, AL. They have all of their dresses on manequins so that you can really see what the dress will look like as you are trying to pick out the ones you want to try on. I did not see this in any other store. They also did my bridesmaids dresses and they were $20 per dress cheaper than anywhere in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, AL.

I was very pleased with Bride Beautiful! I found the same dress at another vendor for a cheaper price and they matched it for me! My dress consultant was very helpful whenever I came in. Also, they let you try on veils and shoes while other places don't let you do that.

I got my bridesmaids dresses here. While they have a good selection (and are typically better priced than other stores with the same products), they encouraged every single one of my bridesmaids to order a size much larger than seemed necessary.....and every single one had to have extensive alterations. The dresses did come in early, so my suggestion would be to go in knowing what size you wear for that designer and be adamant about the size you want ordered...you will get a good price and a good product that way.

The staff at Bride Beautiful were great and I did get an amazing deal on my dress and the bridesmaid dresses. It was a great overall experience. The seamstress that helped fit my dress was really amazing.
