Bridal Belle

My best friend is getting married, so this is one of the stops we made in our search for bridesmaid dresses.
It is a small store on W. Henrietta Rd. When you walk in, they will ask you to take off their boots so salt doesn’t get tracked in.
You should call and make an appointment, because it is a smaller boutique. They offer an array of sizes, and if you have a bridal party that is larger, they do carry some plus sized options. If they don’t have the dress in the color you want, they will bring out swatches of the other colors the dress comes in.
The seating area is nice for the party of moms and friends that come with you. This is way better than getting crammed into a room like David’s.
I think that the associates are very respectful of the given price ranges, and in our experience they didn’t try to sell up.

I cannot say enough good words about this shop.
After having terrible luck (and terrible service) at several other shops, I stopped in here on a whim with my MOH at her suggestion.
We had no appointment and were close to closing but they took us anyway with no complaint. I found a dress I liked very much and they promised to keep it on file for me.
I called and ordered it a week later and asked for a black corset string rather than white and that charge WAS a little steep at $ 40. They also ordered me a black sash rather than the white it came with at no charge.
My dress took awhile to come in (which is normal) and they called me immediately upon its arrival. I asked to speak with a seamstress about some custom alterations to it. They listened attentively and quoted me at around $ 450 for all alterations (tentatively, they would need the dress in front of them), including the hem and bustle.
The dress arrived and it was perfect with the colored accents and when they pinned the dress down to my specifications (altering the neckline to a sweetheart and dipping the back down a little) it was exactly what I wanted. They had received the wrong sash from the dress company but it ended up working even better than the original, so they let me keep it!
The alterations ended up only being $ 300, with the dress being just $ 650. I paid LESS THAN $ 1000 FOR A ONE OF A KIND DRESS! With my alterations and color accents, nobody else has this exact dress, which was important to me because I typically hate wedding dresses because they all look the same.
Through all this, the staff was friendly, knowledgable and quick to insert their opinions when asked– for example, I brought in my jewelry and a pair of gloves that I was debating and they all happily threw in their opinions about the gloves. Exactly what someone like me needed!
Thank you to the staff– wedding planning can be a nightmare and you made this part so much fun!!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Bridal Belle. My associate made me feel like I was her only appointment that day. She got a good idea of what I wanted and was bringing out dresses that were spot on! I felt very comfortable and not rushed. I highly recommend to anyone!

I must say walking into the store I didn’t see many dresses that caught my eye. When my consultant asked me what i was looking for she said I know exactly what you have in mind and pulled 3 dresses for me. To make a long story short I found my dream dress that day, it was maybe the 4^th dress i tried on. I added cap sleeves to the dress and they came out absolutely stunning, they have made me feel extra special every step of the way.

This is one of the three stores in Rochester that carries the brand my sister picked out for her bridesmaids dresses. I wanted to do some pre-​shopping before everyone actually picked out their dresses to purchase so it was easier to make a decision.
This place was pretty easy to find and has ample parking. It is a good size for a small locally owned bridal shop. I walked in and there were a few associates willing to help me out right away. I asked them tos how me the Jordan dresses and was a little disappointed seeing that they did not have a lot of dresses in that brand in their store. I wound up going to the register with a sales associate to see what dresses they had in the store in the fabric my sister picked out. The store did not have any in that fabric so I left without trying any dresses on.
The sales associate who helped me out was very nice and helpful. The store is very clean and open making it easy to find dresses and search through the racks. They also had a lot of dresses to look at.
Other than not having the dresses that I needed to look at, the only negative that I can think of off the top of my head is that the person helping me was chewing gum which is fine but it is not fine to chomp on your gum like a cow chomps on grass. I thought it was gross and rude.
If you need to look at bridesmaid dresses, this is a great option if you would like to stay away from chain stores.
They also have bridal gowns but I didn’t look at any so I can’t give any advice towards that.

Horrible. They hide the dresses in a closed room and only bring out 3 at a time. If they think you are open on the price they only bring out out dresses over $ 1500

You should have an idea of what you’re looking for prior to making an appointment to try on gowns as they don’t let you browse through the racks… The staff is super helpful though, and are willing to let you know the designers of the gowns they sell — which is tough to find from other bridal boutiques in this area.
