Anyone have any reviews on these 2 stores?? One is in Mt. Laurel/Birmingham..and the other is in Jasper. Also anyone used Bella Bridesmaids??? How are there pricing??

I haven't used either store, but my bridal shop, Bridal Bliss in Homewood, carries Bella Bridesmaid and their prices were about $160-$200, but some stores will probably give a discount if you buy your dress there.

I got my dress at Diane's and I had an amazing experience there.  They were great to work with and took a lot of time with me and helped me find the perfect dress.  I think they're dresses are very reasonably priced.  The dress that I actually went to buy was about $200 less than at the bridal shop in my hometown.  But, when I was there I found another dress and ordered it.

My mom used Bella Couture for her dress (I am not in Bham) - she had a great experience and highly recommends them!

I second the Diane's rec. Great to work with, and MUCH cheaper than elsewhere. My MOH ordered her Pronovias gown from Diane's for $400 less than the cheapest she could find in ATL (where she lives).

Had a great experience at Diane's....they were very helpful and never pushy when I was trying to make a decision...prices were better than in town (Bham).

I went to both stores and both stores had the dress that I decided on, but I ordered my dress from Bella Couture.  The customer service at Bella Couture was beyond outstanding.  She had a great selection of beautiful gowns to meet most budgets ranging from around $700-$6000.  The owner Colleen helped me try on probably a dozen dresses and really took the time to get to know me and made me feel special.  We are also ordering all of the bridesmaids dresses there, my veil, and I bought my birdal earrings there.

I had a good experience at Diane's and the prices of both stores for the dresses I looked at were essentially the same.  But Diane's was really busy and I didn't feel like it was as personal.  Plus Diane's would have been much farther for me to drive for fittings.
