My experience with Belle Atelier was nothing short of incredible. I never could've imagined shopping for bridal wear in the middle of a pandemic but that is where I found myself. The shop was spacious and they made sure to space out appointments so everyone felt comfortable. I had so much fun trying on wedding attire and I was so impressed by the selection. As a 'non-traditional bride' I was very dissatisfied with the offerings at other salons but Belle's offerings were absolutely incredible. I tell everyone about the great experience I had. Loved being able to support Belle Atelier by purchasing the wedding jumpsuit of my dreams. Shout out to the best bridal wear staff in the biz! Bunch of lovely people :)

I just had an appointment here to try on wedding dresses and basically from the moment we walked in the door it felt like they couldn’t wait for us to leave. I did not feel welcome or celebrated at all. They have a decent selection of dresses and I do really like some of the designers they carry, but I can’t look past the cold and unwelcoming customer service. When we arrived (on time) for our appointment, there were still people there from the previous appointment, so we started about 10 minutes later, at 3:40. The appointments are 1 hour, but at 4:20 I was told by the consultant that we only had 10 minutes left- despite them starting the appointment 10 minutes late. On top of all that, we had to wear masks the whole time and remove our shoes. They made me clean the bottom of my shoes before I could put them back on to try on with the dresses. I really wanted to like this place but the service honestly ruined the whole experience for me. I felt rushed and unwelcome rather than feeling celebrated like I should on such a big occasion.

I had a fantastic experience at Belle Atelier. The staff was so incredibly kind and patient and really helpful. Would recommend this store to everyone I know. The store itself is also incredibly beautiful and special

I'm going to preface by saying: this store is incredible and I had a wonderful experience there.. IF you're not looking for a Mariana Hardwick gown.
I drove from Ohio at the end of June to try on the infamous Chantelle gown that I had my eye on for quite some time. From previous instagram messages with the designer's instagram team, I knew production timeline was long (9-10 months is what I was told by them, to be exact). I got my appointment scheduled with Belle Atelier asap in case it would be possible for my 5/26/23 wedding.
Belle Atelier was great throughout the process. They knew I was specifically looking at Mariana Hardwick and kindly informed me it wouldn't be possible with my timeline. They still let me try the dress on (and I obviously fell in love with it anyway). I did find a STUNNING number two by a different designer that was very similar in many ways and actually had my heart set on said new dress once I left the store.
I knew Mariana's team did virtual consults - I had followed them on instagram and had done plenty of research prior. I reached out to set up a virtual consult that week, discussed the Chantelle gown and my date with one of their store managers, and had the gown ordered that same week.. I will have the gown shipped directly to me mid March (plenty of time). Side note: this gown is unlike any other. They custom make it to your measurements so alterations required are minimal. The only thing I can presume is that Belle Atelier will not allow you to buy the dress from them if you are not also getting it altered by them, which is rather disappointing as their alteration services take 3 months.
Anyway, this store is incredible and has so many fabulous dresses. The customer service was still very nice in my experience. I am just rather disappointed that I almost settled for a dress that wasn't my dream dress based on the expectation they created for their alteration timeline. With all of that being said, the store is clean, their selection is great, and they were very helpful. I would still purchase a reception dress from them.

Giselle is amazing. She was so helpful and kind. I tried the home try on experience and it is great if you have a specific gown or style in mind and live out of town. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them
