Helen Bohn Bridals

The older lady was very rude. The other 2 employees, I think her daughters, were awesome. I wanted this experience to have good memories and the older lady skewed my review. She was very cold, like I was wasting her time. She was even rude to my mother! My dress was beautiful and the price was right also!

I got my dress and veil at Helen Bohn, and my bridesmaids got their dresses and my mom got her dress here as well. We were very happy with our service and the alterations. My only complaint was that 3 days before the wedding when I went for my final fitting, the dress's hem was not complete! There were still pins at the bottom. I was stressed to start, so this wasn't so helpful. But they fixed it right away and I was able to pick it up the day before the wedding. Otherwise, they are a great little bridal salon. They carry Le-ann Belter dresses - one of the few stores in the area to do so - which is a great designer with beautiful dresses. They also gave us a discount on our bridesmaid dresses because we got my dress there. Definitely recommend!

When I went back to try my dress on a year after I bought it, I felt a bit uncomfortable with the strapless, sweetheart neckline. The women at Helen Bohn worked me with once a week (!) every week up until the wedding until I was perfectly comfortable, and I felt beautiful on my wedding day.

Couldn't have picked a better store. Helen Bohn found me the perfect dress and then when I found out I was pregnant 5 months later they continually altered it to fit my growing belly perfectly. They were so nice and I highly recommend them.

Hated my experience with these people. I came from Florida to look at dresses with my family, and we had our first appointment here. They told me over the phone that they had the dresses I was looking for (a specific Maggie Sottero) but they didn't. Okay, I tried on other dresses that were similar and fell in love with one. We said that we had other places we had appointments at, but would probably come back and get this dress the next day. The woman said no problem and gave us the price of the dress, which would be the sample dress. We didn't find anything better and went back to purchase the dress... and they were charging us $300 more! We asked why it was more expensive and they told us we were never told the original price of the dress. Well, I called everyone that was there that day and asked them how much she said the dress would be and they all said the cheaper price. They called us "liars!"!!! I was astounded!! They weren't willing to work with us at all. They could have just thrown in the bustle and we would have paid the extra money... but instead they called us liars!! We tried to get the dress name but the woman refused to give it to us. Because of their HIDEOUS customer service, we refused to buy the dress from them and went elsewhere. I highly recommend that you do NOT shop at this place and find somewhere with better customer service, that will NOT call you a liar after 5 different people confirm that you are NOT lying. Hated every minute of my experience with them.

Alice and Leena at Helen Bohn were wonderful to work with!! Alice's expertise was invaluable--she helped me choose a dress that worked perfectly for me. Then Leena did some alterations--once she was done, the fit was amazing!! She also added some extra touches such as a loop with which to carry the train and tiny bits of colored thread to help match up the buttons to the proper loops for bustling. The dress arrived earlier than promised and the alterations were completed quickly. A++++

I do not know where to even start. Helen Bohn's ENTIRE team are all just truly great people to work with. When I went for my first appointment to look at dresses, I had brought pictures. I met with Alice who knew right away what I was looking for and brought me a dress that I didn't even bring a picture of. She just knew that this dress would work for me and when I saw the tears in my mother-in-law's eyes and my sister-in-law's eyes, I knew it was my dress. From the ordering, to alterations and bustling... everything was just perfect. I plan to go back to them in the next week or so to have them preserve my dress.

I wish I could give Helen Bohn more stars if the website allowed. Their quality = Great, Selection = Outstanding, Service = SUPERB!!!!

I was referred to Helen Bohn by a friend and had a wonderful experience working with their team. From my initial visit working with Alice, I sincerely appreciated her patience and honest feedback. Within 2 dresses, she completely understood what I was looking for (a class deep v neck and back in a sea of strapless!) and found me my perfect dress. The dress (Paloma Blanca) is truly beautiful and Alice took me (and my Mom, my Aunt and Cousin) through the special details of the dress to explain to us (honestly without a sales pitch) what made the dress so beautiful in terms of craftsmanship.

The entire team at Helen Bohn was extremely professional and courteous in assisting my Mom and me through finding beautiful dresses. They were attentive and responsive to any question that developed. My fittings went flawlessly and any alterations were included in the price (which I have heard is not "the norm"). My wedding dress was fitted perfectly for my body and there was no indication it had been altered at all.

One of the best compliments I received on my wedding day was that my dress "looked like me" and "reflected my style and personality." What could have been an overwhelming process was enjoyable and exciting in working with Helen Bohn. I am extremely pleased and happy I followed up on that referral! :)

I found my dream dress at Helen Bohn and was quite pleased with the alterations that I had made. Service depends on who you deal with, as there are very different personalities presented. The main woman I worked with was absolutely lovely, but there were others who were downright nasty.

My bridesmaids had varying experiences, but in the end, all was well and everyone looked beautiful!

I found my dress elsewhere, but ordered from Helen Bohn because they were just so awesome the three times I went there to look at dresses and the alterations are included with the price of the dress.
They'll really spend a lot of time with you and help you find the perfect dress.
The seamstress was awesome and did an amazing job with the alterations.
My mom ordered her dress from them as well and was happy with the results.
You need to make an appointment to try on dresses and they only take cash or certified check for the final payment.
Only negative is that they don't allow you to take pictures.

I had both a positive and negative experience with Helen Bohn Bridals.

My positive experience was with my bridesmaids dresses. I went with my mom and my 2 maids of honors to pick out dresses for all the girls. We were there from 630-closing and the woman who helped us was amazing. She stayed with us the entire night, helped us pick out styles and even showed us the color swatches and gave us the website to look it up on our phones to see how each color would look. We ended up ordering 7 bridesmaids dresses and 2 flower girl dresses from them and gave them a ton of business. They were excellent with supplying me with the swatches to match the tuxes to them and they came in well in advance from when the wedding was.

My negative experience was with my gown and the fitting of the bridesmaids dresses. I thought since they did such an amazing job helping my girls with their dresses that I should give them my business for my gown. After I tried on a ton of dresses, I thought I found the dress for me. It was beautiful and it fit me perfectly. So I asked to try it on 1 last time to make my final decision… well she told me no! How do you tell a customer, a bride, no! She said it was time to close and they didn’t have enough time to have me try it on one last time (even though I probably would have bought it right there). She told me to make another appt so I told her I would call once I knew my schedule. When I got outside to leave I looked at the time and they still had 20 minutes left before they closed, so it wasn’t closing time yet, plus there was NO ONE in the place at all so it wasn’t like they were busy. This completely shocked me because she was so amazing with the girls dresses the week before. Even though I loved that dress, I refused to get my gown there since I was treated that way.

The 2nd negative experience was with some of the dress fittings for my girls. I would say it was a 50/50 pos/neg experience with each one of them. A few of them had no problems but the other half had major problems with how they were fitted. I’m not sure if 2 different people were doing the fittings or what it was. I saw both my maids of honor get measured for their dresses. The consultant insisted that they get the higher size bc the dress would fit them better that way based on the material. When they got their dresses in and we all went to the fitting, the dresses were literally 2 sizes too big. I made sure they wouldn’t be charged extra for the fitting since it was the consultants fault that they ordered the bigger size. Luckily no one had to pay extra. My 2nd maid of honors dress got fitted wayyy too small for her, it wouldn’t even zipper up when she went for the final fitting and it was only 2 weeks later so she didn’t gain that much weight, but luckily they fixed it. The last issue was with 1 of my flower girls. Because children grow a lot more than we do they suggested we order a bigger size for the girls, which I understood but turns out they ordered 2 sizes too big for 1 of the flower girls and the dress wouldn’t have looked right on her with all the alterations they had to do. I do not know the entire story about this because I wasn’t told this happened until after the wedding just so I wouldn’t freak out. Turns out they ended up ordering an entirely new dress because the mother of the flower girl refused to pay that much in alterations because they made the mistake so they ordered a brand new dress free of charge.

Overall I was happy with the way the bridesmaids dresses came out in the end. The customer service wasn't that bad but at points but i was dissapointed with a few things. We were told to use this place by a friend of my mother’s but I wish I had read reviews on this place before going there because a lot of reviews stated they were rude and have made lots of mistakes before and I did find that to be the case sometimes but not all.

I went to Helen Bohn at the suggestion of a friend of mine that got married a few months before me. I found my dress the first time I tried on gowns there. They have a huge selection in virtually every single price range. I worked with Jen and told her the kind of dress I was looking for and my budget. She brought out dresses that fell within my price range and if she thought there was something that fit what I was looking for but was $100 over my price-range, she would ask my permission before even taking it out of the bag. I appreciated the fact that they didn't try to sell me something outside of my price-range.

I adored my gown and the seamstress took a lot of time in getting the alterations perfect. They are no Kleinfeld's (their shop is in an old Victorian-type house), don't fall all over you to get the sale and their honesty in what looks good and what doesn't may be a bit hard for some to take but I genuinely appreciated their help and thought they were great. My mom and bridesmaids also got their dresses and alterations done there.

My dress was beautiful and they did a wonderful job altering it. I had lost alot of weight from when I purchased the dress and they had no problem altering the dress for free.
