I cannot Thank Beau Belles enough for my stunning dress and experience. I went to a few bridal shop and felt most comfortable and relaxed at Beau Belles. They were very attentive, creative, friendly and they have such a vast collection of dresses to choose from. Susan was great helping me choose and making me feel at ease with her professionalism. I had many fittings at the shop with the seamstress upstairs prior to the wedding and her needlework is incredible! You know you are in good hands with all the professionals in here. I would highly recommend Kim and her team at Beau Belles without a shadow

I loved choosing my wedding dress from Beau Belles so much. From selecting my dress to having the final alterations, the whole experience was amazing. I can't thank the Beau Belles team enough! The team are so professional, warm, and kind; it really shone through how much they care about looking after brides on their journey to finding a perfect dress. During my first appointment, Lisa was incredible; she took my broad ideas about styles and shapes I liked and found me my dream wedding dress in no time all. Sam is a brilliant seamstress, and added those really personal touches for me like a belt

Huge THANK YOU to Kim!!! What a fabulous experience at Beau Bells. The two hour appointment felt like it had gone so quick, I could have stayed there all day. To my surprise I found my dress, I didnt think that on the first day I'd fall in love with something so stunning.
Kim asked if I had tried dresses on before, what my style was, where I was getting married etc. She wanted to picture the ceremony in her head, which absolutely helped in the decision making. We all had fun Kim, thank you once again for a magical experience x

I said Yes to the Dress at Beau Belles just 9 weeks before my Big Day. They are absolutely fantastic. They helped me to choose the most beautiful dress and with Sam the Seamstresses expertise, made it into the perfect Wedding Dress. I got so many compliments. So I would without a doubt recommend Beau Belles. The whole team are really friendly and extremely helpful.
