Review from Sheila W.

Getting married and need a dress? With all the scary, tacky, or pushy-sales places around the city, Bello is a breath of fresh air. You can make an appointment to have your own fitting room and a sales person to help you in and out of the dresses (some get pretty complicated).
My friend found the perfect dress for her and it turned out to be on sale for $600. They do the alterations for you there, and spent extra time making sure that the bead-work on her dress was perfect before she picked it up for her big day.
The ladies in the shop were super sweet to us and took all the time we needed. There's none of the huge sighs and eye-rolling when you want to try on the 20th dress. I have been through there as a part of two different bridal parties, and the prices for bridesmaid dresses are reasonable: in the $150-$250 range. And one of the dresses I did actually wear again to a formal Christmas party - who knew it was possible? -

They had a good selection, but I found they had some of their racks were stuffed so full you couldnt see anything. I found their customer service lacking. The person wasnt very useful. I explained what I was looking for and she pointed out some racks we might look at and then disappeared. Not at all what I was expecting especially since I had made an appointment and there was no one else in the store. If she had been a little more personable and helpful they would have gotten 5 stars, but it ruined the experience.

It happened quite awhile ago, but the people at Bello Wedding World were so awful that I still give the store a finger when I walk past. Shopping is never my favourite activity, and shopping for a wedding dress is especially anxiety-inducing. My sister thought Bello looked like a nice store, so I called and made an appointment to try on some dresses there.
When I arrived, they weren't especially warm, but cordial enough. As I looked around the store, I thought they had some nice dresses, but really, it was mostly the same styles I had seen at other stores, and the prices were a bit steeper here. None of the salesladies really helped us, and so we decided to go take a look in the back room where the sale-price dresses were.
That's when things started to get ugly. We were just looking around in there when one of the staff appeared and told us sharply to take our shoes off in that room. Oh, we said, noticing the little sign on the door, but thinking she was being unnecessarily bitchy all the same, seeing as how we had made an appointment, and first they ignored us and now were chastising us. I tried on a couple dresses, but no one came to help me in and out of the dresses. And I think the only reason one came back to glower at us from the doorway was to make sure we weren't going to steal something.
I guess I just wasn't in their desirable price range.
I had pretty much made up my mind that Bello would not be my wedding dress store, but on my way out, I stopped to look at a book of photographer samples, since I hadn't hired anyone for that yet. The salesladies were helping another customer, and one of them simply grabbed the book out of my hands. I was shocked; luckily my sister had more presence of mind. As they all stood around the other customer, fawning over her, my sister yelled, "Your customer service sucks!"
I'm willing to forgive a lot out there in retail land, but Bello pushed all my buttons.Listed in: Pleasantville

Bello Wedding world carries over 600 lines of wedding dresses. It's typical catalogue wedding dresses mostly and nothing that unique, but their window displays are great. A friend was getting married so she asked me to come with her and help her try on dresses.The staff were very nice, but are strict with their no shoes policy and can be a little stuffy. I think they have to take themselves seriously. It's a 360 Degree wedding experience with bridal make-up, hair, photos all available if you need it. I really like their St. Partrait and Pronovias lines of wedding dresses.
