The positives: beautiful space, easy to get to and schedule, approachable and a decent selection! Everyone was absolutely kind.The negatives: my consultant was absolutely lovely, but I didn’t feel like she had all the facts I was looking for, for example I asked if the train on one of them was a cathedral or a chapel and she didn’t know. Other than that though, she was overall good. The gowns themselves are beautiful, but I found some of them not made from quality material, so when I tried them on it felt SO hot. The lighting in there is also quite questionable and made everything look worse than it was-it would be a MAJOR improvement if they got some more natural light in. I was lured in by the pricing and quick turn around of these gowns, but then reality hit-the dress I like the most I would have to do extreme tailoring to get it right-shorten a hem, shorten the torso, add cups, close the split in a skirt, shorten straps, take in the waist several inches. My consultant said it would probably be a “pricy” tailor. I ended up getting a dress from another store that is made to all my measurements and is more expensive, but I likely won’t have to get much if any tailoring. It’s very possible that this more expensive gown is going to end up being cheaper than a BHLDN gown after alterations.

I was initially nervous about wearing a wedding dress (for the longest time, I joked I’d get married in a purple jumpsuit!). It was only when I went to BHLDN that I knew this was the right move. The whole staff couldn’t have been kinder, more supportive, and helpful. This is the only place I would have felt comfortable getting my wedding dress. I ended up having a great time playing dress-up for the day and loved my final look!

Amazing experience ❤️❤️❤️I felt valued, special and taken care of. I attended alone because my friends, and sister in law are out of state, but they allowed me to FaceTime and take pictures. I found the dress I liked online but it was available to try, along with other dresses. IN LOVE !!!! I said YES !!!! The dress I purchased was under budget and simply beautiful. Classy, a little vintage and exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with my purchase. Julia was simply wonderful and seemed as excited as me. She felt like a friend. Sparking wine and just good f$&king customer service !!!!! Over the moon in love with my dress and the service . Thank you Anthropologie ??And I’ll see you guys soon to go over accessories ?Thank you for making my appointment special and seamless.

Sylvia made my experience extremely wonderful and easy going. She was very patient with me as we switched through different dresses, and took pictures from every angle so I could share with family and friends. I absolutely am grateful I had her as a dress consultant!

Beautiful options but the dresses were so matted and dirty and I felt like I was trying on rags instead of wedding dresses! They should really clean their sample items.The woman helping me with my appointment was really nasty, I was expecting some Midwestern hospitality as someone who was scheduled for my first bridal appointment but I was greeted with the same rushed passive aggressive fake smiles that you can expect in Chicagoland. She also tried to push a dress on me that was out of my budget as one of the few dresses she let me try on.I would not recommend this bridal atelier. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

I got my wedding dress at the Chicago BHLDN in February and had a fantastic experience. My mom and two friends came with and it was so much fun. The stylist was extremely helpful and sweet. I also had an issue with my order following the appointment and the staff was so kind and easy to work with. My dress was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day and I'm so thankful for BHLDN!

First off, I want to say that the service and the lady who helped me try on the dresses was super nice and no way a reflection on the review. This is just purely on the selection of dresses and quality.That being said, the quality of the dresses were awful. Although they are samples some of them were hard to envision as “the dress” when there are literal tears on the bodice, missing embellishments, and stains. Not to mention, most of them were poorly constructed without proper boning and thin material. I was super shocked to find that the dresses I looked at were between $1500-2000. Very overpriced for the quality and you 1. have to order online based on the measurements they give you and 2. They do not offer tailoring on top of the price you pay.The other mention is their stock. There weren’t many dresses to choose from and was disappointed that a lot of the cuter ones I saw on their website were not available. For the quality and price you are better off finding a small business at a reasonable price point that actually puts care into the dress - rather than something that was sloppily pumped out of a factory.

Staff is always friendly. Took one star off because there is no sale section, they have a wedding dress section instead.

The selection was decent, my stylists were very nice. Some of the prices seemed off for the quality of some of the dresses.Honestly my experience was not awesome mainly because I was a very uncomfortable that the stylists would not offer to leave the room while I changed from dress to dress. I know its totally fine to do this, but they didn't ask what I would be comfortable with and its always been my experience since looking for dresses that stylists/consultants wait outside until dress is on and then they help button it/zip up. I didn't speak up about it, but likely should have I just assumed they would leave. This really soured my experience since I was so caught off guard and felt that I was being a bit smothered without a moment alone, and also did not have any privacy to change.

Beautiful store but you need an appointment to try on any wedding dress here (which was not specified prior). My family flew in for the weekend to go dress shopping with me and this was on of our stops which turned out to be a total bust. Extremely disappointed.

Had delicious marangs at the entrance. Had a nice sale section for my wife where she found a fun dress. They even allowed our dog in. 10/10

Getting my wedding dress at BHLDN was an absolute dream!! I set up an appointment ahead of time. Loved the intimate fitting room, and the complimentary sparkling wine & water. The entire store was beautiful, I could have shopped for hours. Becca was very kind and attentive, and didn’t pressure me at all to purchase anything. I would recommend every bride to go to BHLDN to feel like a queen!
