a&bé x anna bé bridal shop dallas — Attraction in Dallas

I cannot recommend A&bé enough. I had SUCH a fantastic time picking a dress here. I ended up bringing back two friends with me and they found their dresses here as well. I worked primarily with Camille who made me feel so safe and welcome to ask all the questions and spend as long in the dress as I needed to know I was making the right choice for myself. A couple of great things to highlight:

Communication - wow such great communication. They texted and called ahead of my appointment to get an idea of what I was thinking and my style. I texted with them after to get an idea of how much alterations might cost. They were so responsive.

Friendliness - I didn’t have a single bad experience. I got to work mostly with Camille who is truly just a gem. I felt like we were besties by the end. You can tell she not only really loves her job but also really loves where she works. I also got to work with Lauren and Lexi a little and they were SO NICE!

Sense of calm - when I went in with a friend, they let her try on so many dresses. They let us go an hour over her original time because she was really torn on a dress decision and they let her run up and down the aisle in the dress to make sure she would be comfortable in it. (I’m sorry I don’t remember the name of the girl who helped us but she let us throw everything at her and answered everything.) We had her try on SO many dresses and they were so great about it. They let me come in more than once to make sure I was fully set on a dress because I was torn between Dahlia and Protea by Aleena Aleena. They let me pace in the dresses and sit with them. My favorite part was they would walk away while you were in a dress for a moment of calm and quiet to sit with yourself and figure out how you’re feeling separate of anyone else’s emotions.

It feels like a truly personal experience where they understand the weight of the decision you are making. I ended up deciding on the Protea by Aleena Aleena and they were so easy about letting me add a string of pearls to the neckline and shifting the back of the dress down.

Thank you A&bé team for making this scary process so...

I wish I could give a&be more than five stars. I had Gabriella as my bridal consultant, and she made the experience more than I could’ve hoped for. I loved the balance of letting me shop around as well as her pulling things for me that she thought would work. She listened to all of my likes and dislikes and felt so in sync with me the whole time. I told her that while she was extremely professional, it also felt like I was shopping with a friend! After I was pretty confident I found my dream dress, I let her know that we had other appointments left that weekend. She was the only stylist that I didn’t feel pressured to buy the dress or make the decision immediately. After shopping at 5 other well known boutiques in Dallas, Gabriella told me I could stop in around closing time to try on the dress I loved so much again and to see if it was indeed the one… which it was without question! I also had my dress customized and Gabriella literally put the two dresses I am combining on me at once and worked some serious magic to help me envision what the final dress will look like! I felt so pampered and well taken care of, and I am so confident that my custom dress will arrive better than I could imagine. While my budget wasn’t much of an issue for the prices of dresses at a&be, even before my budget came up, I never felt like the budget would be an issue- meaning it felt like no matter what, she was confident from the get go that we’d find something I love. I could go on and on but all that to say you should definitely include a&be to your list if you’re shopping for a bridal gown in Dallas! I also loved that they have dresses and price ranges on Pinterest to look at prior to your appointment. They were very transparent from start to finish. Additionally, the cost of the dresses is extremely reasonable and yet the quality of the designers was also...

Julia was so precious and so helpful!

When I first got to my appointment, she took time to get to know about me and the vision I had for my wedding. Thankfully, their website is easy to navigate and was such a great starting point, I knew which designer I liked and the exact dress I wanted to see. When I called to schedule my appt, I checked to see if they had that particular dress and they did! And Julia had it ready for me when I got there! She also allowed me to look for other dresses I may have wanted to try. I was thankful she patiently walked me through the dresses and only pulled the ones I was interested in. I had been to one other bridal shop where the employees pulled tons of random dresses and I felt I needed to appease them by trying each one on. It was overwhelming and exhausting. That particular bridal shop made me feel like they were desperate to make a sale and didn’t care about the process. Julia never once made me feel that pressure. She made the entire process stress-free. I really appreciate the sense of professionalism she brought to the table.

In addition to Julia’s help and kindness, coordinating a time that worked for my schedule - and allowed my mom and sisters to attend as well - was one less element of stress I had to worry about because of their range in availability. Their hours of operation are great for those who need some flexibility when scheduling an appointment, instead of being a place that closes the same time everyday.

I am so grateful to have found my dress here and would 100% recommend this wonderful boutique to anyone...
