I originally had a specific dress in mind that most bridal shops didn't have, but Belle of the Ball had it in stock. The young lady who helped me was fantastic and very helpful. I wound up buying a different dress that day and also took advantage of their bridesmaid dress discount. That part was very smooth and easy. There were some minor bumps with the bridesmaid dresses being backordered for a couple of months and one of the dresses not fitting properly. That was a design issue with the cut of the dress, however when my bridesmaid asked if they could get in touch with the manufacturer (Watters) for more fabric, they said they did not stock that designer. They eventually did place the order, but not without giving her a difficult time and rudely asking if a yard was enough fabric.

I would not have known about Bell of the Ball if it was not for my friend getting married about a year before me. The ladies are very nice and helpful. As for their bridesmaid collection I was not thrilled with it so we purchased them elsewhere. DO NOT USE THE SEAMSTRESS THEY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Gloria Altman she is a rip off big time. I went in with her saying like $200 then at the end she tried charging me over $500 for my dress alterations that is like half of what we even paid for the dress. The dress fit me perfectly except for the top area when she took the dress in she too the whole thing in and blamed it on me! I had to go back 4 different times and the dress still was never the same after the 1st time I didn't have my dress till the day before my wedding talk about stress!DO NOT USE HER I BEG OF YOU!!!!

With a limited wedding budget, I started my gown search at David's bridal which is popular for its reasonable prices. I didn't feel as if the gowns were unique enough so I ventured out and I ended up at Belle of the Ball. WOW! They had a fab selection of gowns, especially for plus sized women, and the cost was just as reasonable as David's Bridal. The owner herself selected my dress and it was a big hit. Belle of the Ball Bridal was a wonderful experience.

Belle of the Ball Bridal is not your fancy, upscale shop. However, the women there are wonderful to work with and I found a dress that I absolutely adored. There was a wide selection of gowns in very affordable prices. I was also able to find my bridesmaid dresses there from a wide variety of dresses. If you're looking for reasonably priced dresses in a casual atmosphere, I would highly recommend going to Belle of the Ball Bridal.

I have never had a more positive experience shopping before in my life. All of the people at Belle of the Ball were so helpful and knowledgeable. Not once did I ever feel like they were pushy or rude. It felt like I was buying my wedding gown from a friend. They had such a huge selection of bridal, bridesmaid, and mother of the bride gowns at a great price too. I recommend them to everyone I know.

The first dress I tried on at Belle of the Ball Bridal was the dress I was married in. The sales associates were friendly and helpful, and the shop has a wide variety of dresses to chose from. It was definitely a pleasant shopping experience!

Maria and her staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved my experience with them. My dress was more than I ever imagined. I felt like a princess! I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married. I never felt rushed or like a number. Thank you Maria!

Belle of the Ball Bridal is not for the bride who has always dreamed of buying her dress at Kleinfeld's-- however, it is the perfect place for a budget conscious bride who wants a beautiful dress at a fair price and doesn't mind roughing it. The store is small, the dressing rooms are made of curtains hanging from the ceiling but the store is stuffed with lovely dresses from a great range of manufactuers and the staff is friendly, nonjudgemental and truly helpful. They also break the stereotype and stock sample dresses up to size 30-- it was thrilling for a plus size gal like me to try on dresses that were too big! As a second time bride, I was not interested in a traditional white dress. The staff didn't blink an eye but brought me to dresses that they thought would meet my needs. There was no pressure to spend more than I intended and in the end I bought a beautiful, well made dress that brought me nothing but compliments. It was a pleasure!

I got my wedding dress here and couldn't be happier. They were having a sample sale so I decided to check it out, not expecting to find anything on the sale rack, but I found my dream dress! It was a gorgeous ivory strapless, pick-up skirt style gown that was originally $815 and I got it for $100! All I had to do was replace the zipper on the back and I was set. It fit me perfect otherwise. I realize not everyone is going to be this lucky, but they had a beautiful selection of regular-priced gowns as well. Enough where you had choices, but not so many, that you felt completely overwhelmed. The women that worked in the store were very nice and professional. They also recommended an excellent seamstress to me who ended up fixing my zipper and taking care of the hemline.

Terry & Maria from B.O.T.B were Awesome. They have a small shoppe but their assistance and service is HUGE. They made a fattie like me feel comfortable and had plus size dresses. When I was trying on dresses there was one girl that zipped me up, and another girl who held the curtain back and then there was Terry fluffing and fawining over me. I can't say enough about Terry & Maria. The prices were great and I was given a little gift just for buying a dress--how nice!

I cannot say how wonderful it was to work with Belle of the Ball. My daughter's wedding gown, the bridesmaid's dresses and the mother of the bride dress were all purchased here because of the great service and attention to detail. They are great at answering questions and giving advice. I highly recommend them.

Maria, and Terri were great! The help me find the perfect dress for my wedding and help with the bridesmaids dresses. I went to over 7 other bridal shop but found Bell of the Ball to be the best. They have a dress for everyone budget unlike other shops I have been in. If you are looking for a personal experience at an affordable price this is the shop to go to.

These ladies always made me feel at home in the shop. They had my dress ordered and delivered in plenty of time. It's not "high end" wedding dress shopping. They treat you like a sister, not a queen. But they had a good selection of dresses and reasonably priced.
