To our future brides--

 You can finally call yourself a bride, and you get to walk up our stairs to the bright white rooms of wedding dresses.  Panoramic windows line all sides of our shop, letting natural light pour in so you actually know what your dress will look like at your wedding. Overlooking downtown Bend, you and your most important people get to browse around the shop, and touch and feel the dresses.

Our stylists are down-to-earth and fun—we are not snooty fashion people, and we pride ourselves on that! This process should be easy and fun, not scary and nerve-racking. We are here to lead you through what seems like a big purchase, but turns out to be a life moment.

Once you are a Bella Bride, you are invited to our Bella Brides Barhop— every September, we host a barhop through downtown Bend where everyone wears their wedding dresses again. It is an absolutely phenomenal time, and we are beyond proud of it!

LGBTQ+ friendly and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Story--

Woman-owned and operated, the Bella Brides' mission is to give every single bride the absolute best wedding dress experience possible and to help each bride find a dress that is truly memorable. We believe in being real people, being down-to-earth, and finding you a perfectly curated dress that speaks to your personality. We lead with love, and that’s what makes all the difference.

The owner, Charlene, got her start in the bridal business just like all of you--by being a bride! And she found that she had a knack for helping her friends find their perfect dresses. Then when one of her friends found her dress at Bella Brides, the experience was so far superior to any of the other shops in the state, that Charlene thought I have to work here!! Fast several years--2 kids, a bazillion dresses, and many, many beautiful brides later, Charlene has settled into the dream industry and will forever be grateful to be a small part of each incredible bride's story.

Bella's lovely staff is made up of mostly REAL Bella Brides--they loved their experience so much that they too wanted to work there!! Our stylists heavily invest themselves in training on everything from dress structure and body types to managing family dynamics. The Bella staff really KNOWS what it's like to be a real bride and all of the overwhelming feelings that come along with it, which is why they have made it their mission to make finding the dream dress the easiest and funnest part of planning a wedding.

Weddings be crazy, but finding the dress doesn't have to be!
