I am so glad that I got my dress from Bellasposa. I would absolutely recommend this place!
1)The dresses are so affordable! The total cost of my gown including alterations was around $1600. Some guests at my wedding guessed the dress was worth $7000!!
2)The selection and value at the store is HUGE!
3)The store is clean and beautiful.
4)The service is good. Especially my sales lady Delia! She was always polite and patient. She remembered me and took care of me, although I had not seen her in months!
5)The store location is convenient. It is near Ontario Mills Outlet, David’s bridal, and Alfred Angelo if you need to pick up other wedding stuff.
6)There are alteration service, vails, accessories, bride’s maid’s dresses in the...

We had Tommy as our photographer. He made our big day so much fun, and it was really easy getting beautiful pictures, especially from a couple that cringes whenever a camera comes out! We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and a few friends that are getting married have already asked for Tommy's information. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He was fun, professional, and extremely talented!

My dress was beautiful! Maria, the alteration specialist did a good job. My dress was also affordable and it looked more expensive than it really is. Definitely worth a place to check out! Great service and options.

I got my wedding dress here--a gorgeous trumpet-style by Pronovias, called "Alma." Decent price, and they gave me a 10% discount on the dress as well as 20% off accessories. Their facility is very welcoming and pretty, making it easy and comfortable to try on a bunch of dresses. Luckily it only took me a couple of hours to find my dress, but I'm sure they would have been very patient and accommodating if I had taken longer.
I also used them for my engagement photos, which turned out great. The photographer scheduled an entire day of photography with us, where we started with studio photos (4 costume changes) and then went out to Laguna Beach to capture some outdoor, natural shots (2 clothes changes). The photographer had wonderful ideas and was able to capture some amazing shots with the sunset on the beach. We were very pleased with the way the album and poster-size photos turned out.
Great experience with these guys--highly recommended.

I can't say enough good things about Bellasposa Photography! Our photographers, Tommy and Oscar, were so talented and professional. My husband and I are not fond of taking pictures but they made us feel so comfortable throughout our special day! We were blessed to have them as our photographers to capture every detail of our wedding.

I had found my wedding dress and called around to ask for prices. Over the phone, Bellasposa promised a certain price, but when I came in, the price was different. They told me to put down a deposit and they'd get it straightened out, but they came back to me and said that the person I talked to on the phone didn't know what they were talking about. Since I had already put a deposit down (and they would not return it), I ended up getting the dress there anyway.
I was promised the dress mid-July, but when I called mid-July, it still had not arrived. I kept following up, and it finally arrived end of July, which is not a big deal. I would have just liked someone calling me to give updates, instead of me calling to follow-up.
However, I did not get my alterations done there (nor did I buy anything else there) because I felt like I was forced into the sale for the dress at a higher price than I was promised. Honestly, it was just a couple hundred dollars more and in face of the cost of the rest of the wedding. Not a big deal, really, but I just thought that I didn't want to do business with those kinds of ethics.
I did try on some dresses, just for fun and just in case, and the lady was very nice and patient. Although not a big selection of dresses in store at all. All-in-all, if I had to do it again, I would not get my dress there, and I would not recommend the place to my friends or family.

Tommy and Jeff were my photographers. They did a phenomenal job. Everyone who views my pictures just love the quality of their work. They did a great job capturing the essence of my day. You can tell they love what they do. They go to any length to capture the perfect shot. Tommy was with me all day and made taking pictures very enjoyable. My only problem is that I have soooo many great photos, I want to print them all! I would highly recommend them.

Tommy Lu was our photographer for our engagement and wedding pictures. We are so happy with how everything turned out. I never thought I wanted engagement pictures (they always seemed so cheesy) but we absolutely LOVE ours. Our wedding pictures were beautiful (Tommy created a slideshow for us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSnCoV74nzs ). Tommy is so great to work with and very responsive when you call him. Another thing we loved is that the price is great for what you get -- not many photographers we spoke with give you a CD with all the wedding pictures. We highly recommend Tommy at Bellasposa!!

They were pretty helpful on the dresses for the bridesmaids but they made a mistake on one of the sizes for the bridesmaids so it was a difficult thing to adjust to.

I got married August 27, 2011 on the hottest day of the year. I was worried for my guest, my hair, my makeup, the guys in their suits....the only thing I didnt have to worry about was that Tommy and his crew from bellasposa were gonna do an awesome job! AND THAT THEY DID! Tommy and Vince were the best! Vince made the guys feel at ease and very much apart of them. My husband and the guys still talk about him. TOMMY was amazing!!! I arrived over and hr late because of difficulties w my hair so I showed up super stressed and a bit on edge yet Tommy made everything so much fun and made me forget it all! His vibe and kick back feel made my girls feel like he was a long time friend. I hope to hire him to take baby pictures for me! We meet with him Feb of 2010 when we first purchased our picture package. Tommy was so nice to mention to us a special that had already expired about purchasing a photo package and receiving a discount on a wedding dress. I was a bit skeptic due to the fact that I had already made apt to go to other shops. I took a chance and ended up finding a beautiful dress within my budget all because of Tommy help us with allowing us to use the discount that had expired! I am deeply grateful to him and the ladies that work there. The store is beautiful, the vibe is romantic, and the people are welcoming! We jus went bk to pick up our pictures and it felt like family there. Ladies that helped me w fitting and apts remembered me as I remembered them! The seamstress that altered my dress made me cry at the beautiful work she did making my dress fit in all the right spots. I can not talk enough about this place. The people and quality is priceless!!!!

TOMMY IS THE BOMB.... He did both our engagement and Wedding photos... We started off a little nervous because its important to have a comfortability level with the person taking pictures and we didnt know what to expect ... But after about 30 seconds of talking to tommy we were on a first name basis.... He is super funny and just loves to get the greeatest shots and possitions... Ull pay for 2 hours and hell shoot you for 4 Just because he gets so carried away with his shooting.... He is truely passionate about the pictures he takes and was an amazing addition to Our special day.... thanks tommy and helpers.... u guys did an amazing job

Tommy was our photographer and he was great!!! Loved all of our pics!!! Couldn't ask for a better photographer. My only concern was with their responsiveness. I never got my blusher even though it was already there! That didnt ruin my day though and our pics were amazing. Highly recommend their photography services!

We have used Tommy from BellaSposa for my sister's quinceanera, my parent's wedding anniversary and recently my wedding. As a savvy bride I wanted to shop around for photgraphers to make sure I got the best deal possible. I looked and met with many photgraphers but none had the quality and finish that Tommy provided or better prices. We are sooooo grateful and happy with with the final product and are proud to show our pictures to anyone. We 1000% recommend BellaSposa for photgraphy needs.

William and Tony took our engagement pictures at the Palm Springs Air Museum. They did a fantastic job! Our friends and family were shocked at how great the pictures turned out. They made us look like models. They were fun and knew how to get us to relax. For our wedding, William was the main photographer. He did a spectacular job as well. After showing the pictures to a friend, she said they were the best wedding pictures she had seen in a long time. Their services also include a short slide show of that day's major events. Its a wonderful keep sake and a detail few photographers offer.

My family and I had a great experience working with Bellasposa to find my dream wedding dress. Britney, our sales girl, did an excellent job helping me sellect dresses, and even picked out my actual wedding dress on the first try! They have an wonderful selection of higher end designers and a beautiful salon to try them on in. At each of the fittings they were very helpful, and even assisted my frazzled bridesmaid with her two crying babies! I had an excellent experience at Bellasposa, and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

I found my wedding dress at Bellasposa. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was very sweet and happy to help. Heidi was especially great. She was very professional yet personable. Any worries I had she took care of. I definitely recommend Bellasposa while shopping for a wedding gown. The photography at Bellasposa is like a dream come true. They are professional, artistic, lively and give you your moneys worth. Tommy is an amazing photographer. He captured every special moment beautifully. I have met so many brides with photographer regrets, which made me nervous. With Tommy I didn't have to be nervous. He was wonderful to work with, and delivered gorgeous photos. I am absolutely in Love with my wedding photos and highly recommend Tommy at Bellasposa.

I searched for a photography for months because photography, and my dress were the most important parts of my wedding. I'm sooo sooo glad i found Tommy! Tommy and his team were absolutely amazing! They were professional, on time, and they captured every moment of my wedding. The pictures are absolutely beautiful!! and trust me i'm very picky! Everyone I have showed them to love them! One thing to NEVER go cheap on at your wedding is photography and I think it was money well spent! I will definitely recommend them to anyone getting married as well as use them if i ever need professional pictures taken again!
I also bought my dress at Bellasposa. They have gorgeous gowns and everyone was very nice, helpful, and professional. Alterations were done on time and everything went well.

I originally went to Bellasposa to try on wedding gowns. I didn't realize they had sooo many other services to offer. They really are a one stop shop. I didn't buy my gown here, but the service was great. My consultant was Heidi and she was really in tune with what I was looking for. She even remembered my name when I came back on a different day to book my photographer which made me feel like the staff really cared.
I did some comparative shopping for a photographer, and I ended up going right back to Bellasposa. I liked that I was able to have two photographers (there were actually three photographers that showed up on my wedding day which was above and beyond my expectations), and the photo albums they design are exquisite. Plus, we got all of our photos on disks so that we could make as many of our own prints as we wanted.
Our photographer was Tommy. He was really fun to work with. He took a lot of time to meet with my fiancé and me and figure out what we were looking for. The day of the wedding was like a big photo shoot. My bridal party and I were laughing and smiling the whole time. Tommy had us do lots of creative poses, and he gave us good instructions on how to pose so that we all looked really good. We ended up having over 1000 photos and there were maybe 3 out of all of them that we didn't like, and even those 3 were still good. Tommy also made us a 3 minute slide show of some of the best pictures on a DVD with music. We were able to put the file directly onto our phones to share with people anytime we want which is great!
I would definitely recommend Bellasposa if you're looking for a photographer. They were able to work with our budget and give us some of the most beautiful pictures. Tommy and his assistants were prompt, helpful, professional, friendly, and fun.

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! Please avoid this store if you are on a budget or a plus size girl. I went there yesterday to try on bridal gowns. It was the first store I had gone to and was excited to start shopping for my dress. I had made a point to call ahead and ask if the store carried sample dresses in my size (size 18) to try on because I would not buy a dress I couldn't try on. She said they had them and so I made an appointment. When I got there they were not ready. I walked around the store for about 15 minutes waiting. When the girl finally came over to us the first thing she asked was my budget. When I told her around $500-$600 she told me they had very few dresses in that price range. At that point the sales lady seemed very uninterested in helping me. I pointed out a dress I liked and she stated it was way out of my price range, without offering to let me try it on (also it was only a few hundred over my budget, not thousands). I tried explaining what style dresses I liked and she proceeded to walk to the one wall, pull out two dresses, and state they are the only ones in the store in my size to try on. These were probably the two ugliest dresses in the entire store and I asked if there was anything else. She grabbed two other dresses and took me to the fitting room. They did not have undergarments to wear with the dresses and the lady would not help me put the dresses on. This was my first time dress shopping, I had no idea what I was doing. So I started to pull the dress on and realized it was a size 10. When I asked her, she said most of her sample dresses are 10 or smaller and that I can hold it up in front of me. She didn't help me hold it up, she didn't help me hang it back up, she was useless. This was a horrible experience and almost ruined my entire dress shopping day with my mom and sister. I will never go back there and never recommend this store to anyone. Go to Alfred Angelo just down the street, the sales people are so much nicer and it's such a pleasant atmosphere there.
