I have always known what kind of dress I wanted for my wedding but after going to many shops I could not find the dress I always pictured. Finally I went to La Belle Reve Bridal and after I explained to them what I wanted they immediately found me the perfect dress, the dress of my dreams. I love the dress and cannot wait to get married in it!

I have been picturing my wedding since I met my boyfriend and realized he was the one. When he proposed I immediately started looking at dresses and went to La Belle Reve Bridal in search of my perfect dress. I discovered that the style I had in mind did not work with my body however the girls at La Belle Reve helped me find the perfect dress. I look amazing in the dress and I know that Robert will be stunned when he sees me walking down the aisle. Thank you!

This is a great bridal shop with beautiful dresses by great designers. The staff was helpful and not pushy at all, they helped me find the perfect dress! I never pictured myself as the beautiful bride but my experience at La Belle Reve Bridal changed that and I now see myself that way completely. I could not be more pleased with my entire experience with this bridal store!

I came in here for an appointment ready to go through the motions as I had thought I already found my dress else where. I already had the appointment set, so we went anyway. I tried on a few gowns, nothing really stood out. My consultant (Hanna) was very very nice and patient. She asked lots of questions about what I was liking and not liking. She also asked about my budget and when she saw the other gowns I had in the dressing room, she politely, but candidly told me they would be way out of that range. I thought that was very nice!! Not many places would do that.
Then she suggested taking one more look around and she said she had one in mind that was in another dressing room, so I went and found a couple more still thinking about the other dress I found. She then showed me the one that had been hiding and I thought it looked nice so I would give it a try. As she was lacing it up I knew...I found the one. It was perfect...everything I had said I wanted in my dress (she actually listened to me that whole time!) and it was in my price range.
As I walked out I'm pretty sure there were some curse words said by my family. That was it. I was sold. Then, instead of trying to make me buy the dress that day she waited for my mom and I to talk, and after we decided to get it that day, she told us there was an additional discount on the dress for purchasing that day. I LOVED that she didn't use that as a selling point!

When my boyfriend proposed I knew instantly that I wanted to go to La Belle Reve Bridal for my gown and they did not let me down. I found my fairytale dream dress and am ecstatic! The dress is beautiful and the staff really helped me find a dress perfect for my body type. I loved the service I received and the dress selection so much that I used them for my bridesmaids dresses as well which are also beautiful on every girl!

I had gone to multiple other stores in search of my wedding gown however no one had what I had envisioned. A friend recommended La Belle Reve Bridal because it is where she has purchased her dress so I took the advice and I am so glad that I did. I found the absolute perfect dress, exactly what I had always pictured myself getting married in. When I look back on my wedding in 30 years I will know my dress was perfect because of La Belle Reve. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for helping me find the perfect dress!

I came to La Belle Reve Bridal to find my dream wedding dress. I had gone to other stores but none of them had exactly what I wanted. When I walked into La Belle I was treated with such respect and the service was unbeatable. I love the gown that I choose and am so pleased with everything I got from the store, my dress, shoes, veil and accessories to complete my look! Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

La Belle Reve Bridal is such a wonderful boutique with B-E-Autiful gowns and such a great atmosphere! My mom and sister were flying out for our big 2 day adventure of dress shopping, and after looking at a few places all over Bellevue County, I decided that we should make La Belle Reve Bridal our first stop! And let me tell you, nothing else compared! We went to a total of 7 bridal salons and La Belle Reve Bridal stood out above them all.

I will tell you that this is THE best place to shop for wedding gowns in Bellevue. Now, we all know there are some really nice upscale bridal boutiques, but very few have the kind of down to earth atmosphere and you will experience that here. Nancy helped pick out a dress for me that I never even thought I would want to try on...and I ended up buying it. Not only is she extremely good at her job but she is very down to earth and up front about pricing. She has a variety of different gowns available at prices to fit many budgets. She did not rush us at all, in fact, we were allowed to savor the experience and we were even able to Skype with my older sister so that she could see the dress as well. 5 stars over and over for this amazing experience.

I didn't have to look long for THE dress. La Belle Reve Bridal was the second boutique I visited and I had the most pleasant experience from minute 1. The staff was absolutely the best. I made an appointment and tried on about half a dozen dresses. The girl who was helping me knew that the dress for me was in her store. There was absolutely no pressure and I went home and slept on it as she advised. One week later I made the decision and bought the dress last weekend. It was a great experience and I would HIGHLY recommend La Belle Reve Bridal! :)

My daughter was looking for her prom dress and we stopped in this shop. They were so helpful and offered to make any necessary changes to my daughters dress if she needed any. The prices were reasonable and my other daughter plans to come here for her prom as well.

I had a one-hour appointment with Oksana. She greeted me immediately, was incredibly friendly, and took her time explaining the details, possible veils, etc. of the dresses I tried on. The store had a pretty good selection of dresses with a range of prices (the ones I tried on were between $1,400 and $3,000). I couldn't narrow my favorites down and wasn't ready to buy a dress that day-- Oksana didn't pressure me at all. I plan on heading back there to make my final purchase!

A month away from my wedding day, I still hadn't found that perfect gown. To my surprise, there was a new bridal gown place right at the corner of 10th and 108th in downtown Bellevue. I stopped by to check it out hoping to find a gown. I found not only a PERFECTLY simple, beautiful and elegant gown, but also received an excellent customer service from Anna. She was absolutely wonderful and patient with helping me pick out a gown that would complement my body type and style. She made the whole experience feel so easy like a breeze. Not hussel and pretentious like another popular bridal gowns shop that I went to (I won't name that shop, but almost all brides know what that shop is). I was IN and OUT within an hour. I got the gown 10 days before my wedding. I am thankful that I found La Belle Reve. They are on the top of my list for BEST customer service and bridal gowns selection. Keep up the GREAT work, La Belle Reve. I want everybody knows about your great service. A lot of brides need your help.

I've always dreamt of a beautiful wedding and a stunning wedding dress. Inspite of a great variety of designs, it's very hard to find the one. La Belle Reve made my dream come true. Due to this fantastic shop I looked gorgeous at my wedding. Extremely informative, understanding consultants helped me to choose the right style of dress & accessories. But even above elegancy of designs I appreciated the guality of clothing La Belle Reve provides. The Dress and shoes were amazingly comfortable!!!Thanks to you at my wedding I felt like a queen!
Many many thanks,
Marchuk Elena.

Latest reviews from Citysearch.
I made a last minute appointment recently to try on dresses at La Belle Reve, and was pleasantly surprised when SIX of the nine dresses I tried on made it on my short.....errr, long list of favorites!
Olga helped me and was fabulous - she was down-to-earth, not overly pushy or salesy. That is a huge turn-off for me. In fact, I will not go back or recommend a particular dress store in Seattle because there was not a single ounce of sincerity in any one of the sales staff. Sad:-(
Olga, on the otherhand, used her fashion design training to give me honest, sincere advice on advantages/disadvantages to each of my "favorite" dresses. As one of the former reviewers mentioned, Olga did offer discounts on sample dresses, as well, they did have a whole sale section of gowns. A nice perk when trying to be conscious of costs during the wedding planning process.
I also like the fact that LBR does in-house alterations. No sending my dress to some random person who doesn't really know what I want.
I have not purchased my dress yet, but I am looking fwd to my next appoint w/LBR. I feel like it will be another great experience that will exceed my expectations! I'll follow-up later to report back on appointment #2!
I went to La Belle Reve twice. The first time, I enjoyed the experience and found their staff insightful and very good and I thought I found the perfect dress. The second time I went back with the intention to purchase. I hadnt been to any other bridal shops, nor did I want to go anywhere else. When I arrived, I explained what I wanted and the attendant I worked with was less engaged and less attentive than the previous associate I had worked with. After finding 3 dresses that I liked, in addition to the dress I saw the last time I visited, I was told that because my wedding is in May, I would need to rush order my dress... OK, thats understandable, I would be more comfortable having my dress sooner rather than later. Then the attendant told me that I would need to pay an extra 10% because I was "probably a size 20, at least." Ouch, that was insensitive, especially since I hadnt even been measured. I understand wedding dresses run small, but size 20 is 8 sizes larger than the clothes I wear. I have worked hard to lose weight and I am still trying. I thought bridal stores were in business to make women feel beautiful and helping them get ready for their big day. I was really disappointed that La Belle Reve seemed to miss the point of buying a bridal gown was to feel gorgeous. The attendant then announced that her next appointment had arrived and she'd email me to let me know what the cost of the three gowns I chose as well as the delivery time. The email never came and they did have my phone number, so I guess my business didnt matter. This week, I purchased the dress I liked the first time I was at La Belle Reve from I Do Bridal, in a size 16, not a 20. I wouldnt suggest La Belle Reve to my worst enemy because no one deserves to feel like a fat, hopeless bride who wont find a wedding dress in time for their big day. They have no clue how to deliver unpleasant information and they should really learn some tact when selling to less than perfectly built brides.
Pros: Convenient location, good parking
Cons: Clueless, insensitive staff, lack follow through
When I first went in customer service was awesome. After i found and ordered my dress it was still great and they were very helpful. When my dress came in however, the people who had helped me before no longer worked there and the customer service went down from there. I had wanted to alter the dress and had discussed it with the former employees that said it would be no problem, but these new employees did not understand what I wanted. The owner was there a few times and very helpful, but each time I would go in there would be a new girl who had no idea what I was talking about. Eventually it worked out and my dress was beautiful, (the seamstress is very talented) but there was a lot of stress. Hopefully the customer service goes back to the way it was last year, because they have great dresses.
Pros: Great selection of dresses
Cons: Speak in Russian about you, in front of you
I have always dreamed of having the perfect wedding. I became engaged this past Christmas. My boyfriend proposed to me on the day after Valentine?s Day. Boy was I surprised! He put the ring in a box of chocolates! Before I did anything? Before I found a reception hall?Before I made a guest list?The very first I had to find was the right dress. I went to three bridal stores in Seattle and I was so disappointed. I had heard of La Belle Reve through a friend of my Mom?s. The store was so beautiful and I liked the sales girl a lot. I found my favorite gown of all in my first visit. I picked a gown by Madina Vadache. It is Silk Stretch Charmeuse Halter dress, very slender and close fiting with Chantilly Lace and silk ribbon trim. To me, fashion is everything. I just love this dress!!! This is the most important day of my life! I will love the photos of me wearing this dress forever.
Pros: I just love this store!
Cons: I couldn't find it at first with all the construction across the street
I was only in Seattle for a few days. My fiance Brian lives in Kirkland. We met in Costa Rica during a scientific symposium. We plan to get married in Seattle in a small wedding on September 6th.
I didn?t plan to look for a gown in Seattle. I live in Boston and there are plenty of places to shop for a wedding gown. I was in the car with my future mother-in-law Marge. She suggested that we visit La Belle Reve. I didn?t really want to look for a wedding gown on this trip. My time is pretty limited but I told Marge yes. I was just being polite. I?m a research scientist and I don?t like to spend a lot of time shopping in stores. I thought La Belle Reve was very beautiful, quiet, and charming in an understated way. I felt relaxed and didn?t feel pressure to buy anything. There were about four full racks of gowns. I didn?t feel overwhelmed by the selection. I felt like every gown was handpicked for its quality. I didn?t see any big puffy white dresses, which I think look just ridiculous. Marge encouraged me to try a few on. I never made it past number two. My favorite--An off the shoulder champagne colored satin sheath. It was truly elegant and stunning. The sales girls were so helpful. Even though I was sure this was the right gown, the sales girls seemed concerned for me. They wanted me to be sure. I know what I like. I make my decisions fast. I knew this was the gown for me. Six weeks later, when I returned to Seattle, the sales girls remembered my name, the name of my fiance and they even remembered Marge. Overall, La Belle Reve was a very positive experience for me.
Pros: warm and appealing retail store with wonderful sales people
Cons: I can't think of any.
I had the best experience at La Belle Reve. The women were so kind and everyone made me feel very comfortable. No one was pushy or snooty, just very helpful and knowledgeable. The dresses were beautiful. As soon as I walked in I knew I would find my dress. I also enjoyed that they had different jewelry and shoes for you to try out with each dress, it helped complete the picture. The prices were much more reasonable especially for the high quality of the dresses. My dress was the second one I tried on, but they made sure I tried on everything I had picked out just to be sure. Now I have no question that I picked my perfect dress. It was such a wonderful experience that I can't wait to go back for my first fitting.
Pros: Woderful employees who truly enjoy helping you find your perfect dress.
Cons: None

I had to choose the bridesmaids dress but I could not do it: either it looked strange or it was too expensive. La Belle Reve store is the best place to satisfy any desire. I found the beautiful dress that suited me perfectly. I felt myself the queen of the day ( of course the second queen after the bride:))
I found what I wanted in this store. Beautiful dress! My husband (groom at that time) told me that I am the best looking bride ever! I believe its not only because I am pretty, buy my dress was really awesome and expensive! But I worth it!
