Our Brides


Just wanted to send you a "HUGE THANK YOU" for the service and support we received from you and all those at "The Wedding Bell" who made Jen's wedding day so MAGNIFICENTLY successful!!  From beginning to end, your presence was essential! One of the tips I will pass on to my friends is to purchase "The Day of Package", it's well worth the expense! I couldn't imagine how our day would have gone without it. You made Jen relaxed, and, because of this, she didn't worry about things beforehand. She was a beautiful bride because of your outstanding and professional service. You and the other staff at "The Wedding Bell" really know about the wedding essentials, you are well versed in your field. We received first class service from picking out all the dresses (bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride) to preparing for the wedding and culminating on the big day. Any future bride who doesn't experience what you have to offer is truly missing out!  Thanks again for EVERYTHING, Ashley, you're the best at what you do! -- Hugs, Susan Allardice (MOB)

**Jen purchased our "Day of" package.  Ashley had the best time getting to know her and her family.  I love the umbrellas and how great Jen looks in the dress!

 

 

Hello! I just wanted to finally send you guys some pictures from my wedding! :) Its almost been a year! wow! We were married Sept 13th 2008 at the Tacoma Landmark Convention Center! I love all the girls at the Wedding Bell! Everyone was extremely helpful! I think I tried on every dress in the store at least once and never once felt like I needed to hurry and make a decision! I even ordered a wedding gown and than a few weeks later when I came in to find my bridesmaid dresses I found a gown I LOVED even more! Kim, without even heisting let me switch my gown! I know that would not have happened at other bridal stores! :) Beth was amazingly helpful! She helped us pick out a great bridesmaid dress that could be altered to fix my 8 month pregnant matron of honor! She also helped size and alter my bridesmaid who had gave birth just weeks before the wedding! Both dresses turned out beautiful! I honestly could not have asked for more! Whenever I hear about someone getting engaged I always make sure to tell them about you guys!! I have attached some photos! Thanks again! -- Eryn Whipple(Hoke)

**Eryn just looks stunning, and all of the girls look great!

Hello Wedding Bell! I want to thank you for your wonderful wedding gown services! First, I have to say that I am incredibly impressed with the variety and quality of the dresses at your store. They are far above and and beyond those at the other bridal salons I have looked at . Needless to say, I found my perfect gown at your location. I would also like to thank Beth for doing an extraordinary job on my alterations (she had to take my dress down three sizes and put side seams in it to make it more of a dropped-waist style!!!). My wedding was on February 21st, 2009 and my dress looked perfect. I always refer anyone and everyone to your shop - my best friend just bought her wedding gown at The Wedding Bell last weekend. :) Thanks again for your amazing service. -- Mandy Muller

**I love the downtown Tacoma area for weddings. You can't get more picture-perfect than a beautiful couple by the Museum of Glass. Thanks again, Mandy, for sending us the images!

Hello Wedding Bell Divas! I was just going through my wedding pictures and wanted to pass along a thank you to all of you at the Wedding Bell. You ladies are the BEST! I got married about a year and a half ago (April 06) and you totally saved me and my bridal party with alterations and accessories. I could not have asked for a better experience than I had with you all - fun, fun fun, just what a wedding should be! You made myself, sister, mom and flower girl look perfect for the big day. Best wishes and thanks again, over a year later... -- Jenn Crawford (Calligan)

**What a cute couple!

Hi Kim, I bought my dress last winter when Beth still owned the store, but I had to say I loooooove the new location (at least from driving by every morning and afternoon) and think it looks so much more modern and comfortable. I hope that it stays cool and brings in even more traffic (and I think it will). :-) I can't believe you don't have at least a picture on your blog, yet! I wanted to let you know that I'm on theknot.com and I highly recommend you lurk there if you don't already. ;-) Vendors are frowned upon if they participate in the message boards, especially just to promote themselves but you can definitely see the trends and hear what Seattle area brides are up to. I have a review of the Wedding Bell (all positive) forthcoming in my bio. If you're ever on, I'm wsukarebear! I loved my dress and it just made me feel great on the wedding day. I had been shopping in four other boutiques and none of those experiences produced THE dress. ;-) We walked into the Wedding Bell and without hesitation my friends said, "you HAVE to try on that dress!" It was so me and definitely the one! My entire experience was seamless, friendly, efficient and positive. I felt like royalty on the wedding day and I think it was thanks to the dress I found at the Wedding Bell, that I had seen no where else! I'm attaching a few pictures--as a photographer you may appreciate that we did a "day after" photo shoot in Seattle and we went in the water. It wasn't bad--but very heavy--and may have even come out a little cleaner than before we went in. Ha ha! -- Kari (Kiehn) Bradley

**Doesn't she look gorgeous??

Hello!

Now that we have our pictures back from the wedding I thought I’d send a quick thank you and offer a couple photos in case you would like them for a portfolio, if you have one. The wedding went very well… especially considering what Mother Nature had in store for us. We of course had planned an outdoor wedding at a family property on July 21st, the day of record rain! The rain started just after I had my photos taken with the bridesmaids & flower kids and it kept getting harder all night. Luckily we had the tent that everyone could fit under, so the dance floor became the altar and the aisle wove through the tables. Looking back, even if we could take away the rain we wouldn’t. It was perfect, and so memorable.

Thank you for taking care of me and my dress. Though the alterations were completed at the last minute, it was amazing. And we even managed to get most of the grass & mud stains out of my train!

Dani (Nault) & Erik Kessler

**Wow!

I was a Wedding Bell bride, in September of 2006. Some of my fondest memories of the wedding planning process took place with Beth and Marquelle. I would recommend and have recommended your shop to other brides since, as I cannot imagine having gone anywhere else myself! I felt as though I had their full attention anytime I was there, and that they would (and did) go above and beyond to make sure that my experience with The Wedding Bell would be one of the most seamless, enjoyable and memorable experiences in the sometimes stressful process of planning a wedding! When all was said and done, myself, my bridesmaids, the flower girl and my mom were all very impressed by the quality of service we received and the beautiful end products. The dresses were all beautiful, Beth pulled off some amazing things with our alterations! It was a little sad when I didn’t have an excuse to return and visit with them, as that was one of the things I enjoyed so much, was to visit with them! I know the shop has sold and I have since returned as, a bridesmaid. I can honestly say that the shop has the same warmth, kindness and sincerity in the customer service I received as a bride. My girlfriend was overjoyed with how “special” she felt trying bridal gowns on and it brought back my fond memories! Beth and Marquelle even remembered me, which was just a reminder to me, that for them…this is not just a job, this is something they take pride in and truly enjoy being a part of. Kim seems like a wonderful new owner as well, and the shop looks amazing…very up to date, warm and inviting! Thank you for everything you did to make my wedding day turn out just perfect…it wouldn’t have been the same without you! -- Courtney (Whitman) Berg

**Thanks, Courtney! You are so sweet!

Each member of the staff at The Wedding Bell deserves a pat on the back and a round of applause for making my dress literally fit like a glove all night and getting it ready in time! We ordered in July and it arrived a month before the wedding needing it taken in at the bust and when I picked it up a week before the wedding I had a hard time getting myself out! Beth, the seamstress, also picked out a gorgeous dress for my mom a WEEK before the wedding which she got sooo many raves and reviews about!! I got my whole attire - shoes, veil, hair comb/tiara, dress at the shop and this was the ONLY shop I went to!! If you're looking for a unique, one of a kind, special dress this is the place to go... they make you feel like a princess! -- Stephenie (Lillie) Ramage

**I love this picture of them jumping. Stephenie looks so great in her dress! Thanks, Steph!

I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to all of the wonderful employees at The Wedding Bell who made my process of purchasing my wedding dress so wonderful. From the first appointment and trying on the many dresses all the way to fittings and final delivery I was treated with the utmost professionalism and high level of customer service. All of the women who helped me made the experience truly special. It shows that they realize how significant and meaningful this aspect of the wedding is. It was so great to know that I didn't have to stress one bit about the dress or the alterations, etc. Everything was taken care of without a hitch and every detail was covered. Everyone truly went out of their way to ensure that I had an exceptional experience. On my wedding day I felt like a princess. I've attached a couple of photos. Best regards, Alyson (McBride) Spaulding

**Alyson just looks stunning in her gown. What a lucky guy!

One word - SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!!! I walked into your inviting, cozy little store on the recommendation of my good friend Courtney Berg (also a Wedding Bell Bride). Not only were the girls friendly and helpful, the selection was amazing and I ended up finding my dream dress right off the rack!!! Beth meticulously and perfectly tailored my dress to fit like a glove and made sure it was absolutely clean and pressed for my big day. In fact, because of the exceptional and warm serviced I received, I ended up picking out a stunning bridesmaid dress for all three of my girls (thank you Marquelle for trying it on so we could see what it looked like :o) !). And to top THAT off, Beth was able to alter my Maid Of Honor's dress to fit comfortably, as she was 9 months pregnant at the time of my wedding!!! Not only will I praise and recommend The Wedding Bell, I will remember my experience for the rest of my life. Thank you so much. All The Best, Amber (Chuculate) Matthews

**Amber looks so happy. Amber and her bridesmaids were just great to work with!

Thank you to all the staff at the Wedding Bell for such a great experience. I went with my mom to try on dresses and I found the perfect dress on dress number 3. My mom and I went to some other stores that day but we ended up coming back the next day to the the Wedding Bell to get my dress. I just fell in love with it! It was the perfect enchanted dress to have at our castle wedding. All of your girls there were great!

**Jennifer and Greg picked a beautiful location to get married at. We really enjoyed working with you, Jennifer! You looked stunning!
