  • "I had the best experience wedding dress shopping at Bella Bride; I can’t recommend Franca and Kristine’s dress shop enough. The shop is so clean, safe, intimate, and cute! I am so lucky to have been able to find my dress at the first & only dress shop I went to. I couldn’t have done it without their help and professionalism."

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bella Bride. Franca literally saved my wedding. Four days before my wedding, I needed a new dress. Kristine made me an appointment for the next day, and Franca helped me during my appointment. Franca was creative in helping me find a solution to my dress disaster, and picked out a dress for me that I never would have picked for myself. I am so glad she did! We found a perfect dress and she let me buy the floor model given the time constraints. Everyone has complimented me on how beautiful my dress was. Their shop is clean and impeccably decorated. They have a great selection of the latest trends in wedding gowns. Their prices are very reasonable for the brands and styles they have. If you need a wedding dress in Central NY, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else!

  • "I had such a wonderful experience at Bella Bride! I walked in without any idea of what kind of dress I wanted - I was willing to try anything. Franca was incredible to work with, asked great questions about what I liked and didn't like in each dress I tried on, and was very patient with me as I was deciding between 2 dresses. Ultimately, she helped me find a PERFECT wedding dress that I am SO excited to wear on my wedding day! When I went to pick up my dress, the experience was just the same - the women were kind and so excited for me when I tried on my dress before taking it home. The whole time I felt like they really wanted me to find a dress I loved, and I did. They made my dress shopping experience amazing!"
