My experience at a&bé was the best bridal shopping experience I’ve had so far! My stylist Rachel was amazing. She made me feel comfortable and it helped that we had similar taste so all the dresses she picked out for me to try were a hit! It kinda made it harder for me to pick lol but I’ve never had so many favorite dresses at one store! A&Bé has so many beautiful variety of dresses and designers! From traditional to modern to chic to classy, you name it! Would definitely recommend all my future bride to be family/friends (& anyone reading this) to go to A&Bé and if you get Rachel, well even better for you!

I really enjoyed getting to try on dresses at this boutique. It has a large selection of tulle, crepe, and lace dresses for a lot of different bridal vibes. Everyone is very friendly and I had a great stylist, Brittany G. She listened to what I liked and didnt like and had a bunch of suggestions for dresses and veils. It was quite warm inside because I guess the AC was broken. It did get uncomfortably hot when trying on a bunch of dresses. I did end up finding my dress here at my first appointment and came back a week later to order it at a shorter second appointment. They offered us champagne to celebrate. The only thing that annoyed me was that shipping was an added charge on top of a several thousand dollar dress. I really really recommend adding shipping costs into the dress price. Overall Im really happy with my experience and hope it continues to be that way when my dress arrives. Photo of a Made With Love dress I liked but wasnt the one.

I love this bridal boutique! I purchased my dress in the midst of the 2020 COVID Lockdown last year for my wedding in 2021. Sammy not only helped me find my perfect dress and veil, but also created a fun environment for me! She made accommodations for me since my family was not able to travel to the appointment. She gave me a clear timeline of when I should be expecting my dress, even in the midst of all the shipping delays. She explained costs and suggested my now favorite seamstress in the Seattle area. 10/10 for going above and beyond with customer service and industry expertise.

Right from the jump, they took my input and picked dresses in what I liked, as well as some styles to confirm what would flatter me. I felt like I got to try on a lot of dresses during my session and found a spectacular dress that was unique to what I wanted, and I was able to pick from choices instead of having only one in the style I wanted. They were helpful and accommodating, even with my plus size body.

My experience at a&be was everything a dress fitting should be! Brittany was very welcoming and friendly and sat the 5 of us in our own private area of the boutique. She walked me through every rack in the store sharing details about the dresses and designers and let me pick out the ones I wanted to try on, which gave her an idea of what I was looking for and she pulled some as well. She also purposely selected a couple that were different than what I was looking for, which I appreciated. She was also transparent about the price ranges of each of the racks/designers. The 90 minutes went by quickly and it was a blast! Brittany offered the perfect amount of support and help with decision making while still giving me time and space to deliberate with my guests. She never put pressure on me to buy and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend a visit here.

I had the loveliest experience at a&bé bridal. Brittany was my stylist and she was a real pro - she knew exactly what questions to ask to help find the right dress. She walked me through all the racks, told me about the designers, and really helped me zero in on the best styles for me. It was so fun to get the opportunity to see all the dresses in the store, which was not my experience at the other shop I visited. Seeing all the dresses made me feel very confident in my final choice and helped me know that I wasnt missing out on anything. Brittany was amazing at helping me try on the dresses and she did lots of pinning to ensure that I had a good idea of how each dress would fit. She also volunteered a lot of information to keep in mind to help me decide between styles, such as benefits of certain types of trains/bustles, or the ability to customize certain aspects of dresses. I was so impressed with her. I really just had the best experience here and yes, I did end up purchasing my dress here. I highly recommend a&bé!

Such a friendly and stress-free space full of beautiful dresses! I loved working with this shop, and found my dress within the first visit! I really appreciated how encouraging and inclusive the staff were, and how communicative they were

I went to three bridal boutiques, and A and Be was by far the best. Janneke was incredible to work with. My first dress shopping experience at a different boutique was so awkward and not at all fun, and I nearly picked a dress I wasnt really in love with just to get it over with. Janneke made wedding dress shopping such a wonderful experience. It was like shopping with a best friend, but a friend who knew exactly how to help you navigate an entire store of beautiful gowns to the dress of your dreams. I would recommend A & Be bridal to anyone!

A&bè Seattle is amazing! I had the absolute best experience there with my stylist, Anna. I ended up finding my dress, which I absolutely LOVE, and it was even the first dress I tried on! Anna did a wonderful job of listening to me and making picks based on what I wanted. She wasn’t pushy or salesy at all, which made the experience that much better. She did an incredible job of matching my energy while being supportive and asking the right questions. A&bè has a curated selection of beautiful dresses and also at great price points. I could not have asked for a better experience buying my dress!

I loved working with Brittany! She was so attentive to detail and easily picked up on the things I did and didn’t like even before I could pinpoint them. I tried a couple of different shops and ultimately felt overwhelmed at the others. The process at a&bé was by far the best. And they have a beautiful selection of gowns!

Love the dresses here! Amazing selection. Prices seemed negotiable based on my stylist saying she could “probably give it to me for x price, how does that sound?” I was kind of unsure about that aspect, and she kept checking her watch which made me feel rushed. She also asked me with every dress, is this the one? I was clearly undecided so it felt pushy to me. Overall, I think it’s an amazing shop. Definitely worth going to because the selection of dresses is great- everything from princess to modern to whimsical to boho. I will say I chose my dress from a different shop, but that doesn’t take away from the fun I had here and the great selection :)

I recently said “yes” to the dress at A&be in Ballard on my second appointment. I had a wonderful experience at both appointments. First of all, they have an amazing selection of designers which was great for me going into this shopping experience not knowing exactly what I was looking for. I was able to try on a selection of different looks before narrowing down the search. And the staff and stylist were such a delight, especially my stylist Janneke. She was extremely observant and picked up on what styles I felt most comfortable and helped steer me in the right direction. I highly recommend this bridal shop to any brides looking for their dress!

I had my second appointment at a&bé yesterday with Loren. Ive had a tough time finding a dress that fulfills everything I have imagined for my wedding day but from the moment I met Loren, I instantly felt like she was dedicated to helping me in whichever way possible. Her laid back personality & apparent expertise all contributed to making this appointment so special. She made me feel listened to, offered invaluable advice and genuinely made my experience one to never forget. Not only that, but the other bridal stylists contributed to the overall great vibes with their words of encouragement and happy demeanors.

I had such an amazing experience at a&be! I had already been dress shopping once before and it did not compare to my experience at a&be. Brittany went so above and beyond to help me re-create a dress I liked from one of the designers they carry that was not in store. She also assisted with facetiming my mom so she could be involved the entire time. Overall, the entire staff was so kind and welcoming and it was such a fun experience!

I came to A and Be and was immediately greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff. Kat Z. was amazing, so down to Earth and easy to talk to. It was like shopping with a friend, she was honest while still hyping me up, which was exactly what I was looking for! Because of covid precautions I went alone since I couldnt decide who to bring, but I felt totally fine not having my tribe with Kat and the few other stylists in the store. Kat was great at taking pictures for me to show my friends which I really appreciated given all the covid circumstances!Upon arriving she had a few suggestions based on what I had said in my initial booking of the appointment, but she also made sure that we went through and I could pick any that stood out to me along with her suggestions. I tried on a bunch of dresses and she was so helpful in helping me narrow them down and really had a process that she was following to help me determine the top few. In the end, I tried on a Hayley Paige dress that had been on my Pinterest board since I was probably 14 and was just what I had always envisioned myself in, but I was completely torn with that dress and one I had tried on at another shop. Kat was AMAZING about not pressuring me which I appreciated to the absolute max, I always get so stressed when I am in a situation where I am potentially purchasing something and the salesperson is pushy. Kat let me leave with the names and prices of the dresses and sleep on it, as well as consult my friends and family. I ultimately went with the advice of one of my bridesmaids, who said the dress was just a you dress as in it felt the most me.After I visited Kat was extremely communicative and followed up with all my questions super quickly, assuring me and answering specific things I was curious about. Her suggestion of doing the dress in ivory instead of blush is ultimately what sold me! The payment process was smooth and she kept me updated with a shipment date which I so appreciate. I cant wait to get my dress in a few months!

I would highly recommend this shop! They call you beforehand to understand your needs. When you go in, they check in with you and I showed my pinterest board. All of the dresses in the shop are beautiful and unique and the service amazing. I found my dress the first appointment and completely in love with it!

This store is wonderful! Everyone is very friendly and I felt zero pressure to buy a dress. Instead, Jenneke made me feel super comfortable and asked lots of great questions to help me better understand what I do and don’t want in a dress. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I had the best time trying on dresses - and saying yes to one - here! Janneke was my consultant and she was so great at listening to how I felt in the dresses and pulling ones that I loved. It was so much fun trying on all the dresses and I never felt like I was overwhelmed which is what I was worried about! Janneke structured the appointment perfectly so I was able to decide what my favorite dress was.The shop is also so beautiful and such a great setting for trying on dresses! They have an awesome selection and I love that they give back to the community. I highly recommend getting your dress from them!!

Kat was my bridal stylist and she was exceptional, supportive and amazing every step of the way. I was super nervous and anxious about trying on dresses but she reassured me everything will be ok and we got this babe! Kat gave me a tour of each designer and asked me my wants/wishes in a dress before we started and picked dresses from each designer that matched what I wanted in a dress within my budget. Kat also made suggestions on other dresses I may not have liked on the hanger but mentioned the dress looks and feels totally different when on. I felt comfortable and never overwhelmed & was confident and reassured when I found THE dress! A&be is cozy, inviting and laid out in a clean fashion. I highly recommend any soon to be brides to shop at A&be and have Kat as their bridal stylist, shes absolutely the BEST!

I had such a magical experience wedding dress shopping here. Elissa was my consultant but the entire store was interactive and motivating through the entire process. The employees embodied the mission of the store, around mindfulness and love. The subtle reminders for the day and self-expression were obvious, not to mention that the store was just adorable, comfortable and cozy. My mom, best friend and I had a blast here AND I said yes to the dress!

I had a great experience at a&be! They have incredible dresses from all sorts of designers to help truly find the one! I definitely recommend coming here to find your dress.

I had a wonderful appointment with Cindy in Seattle. Highly recommend checking out A & Be - a hidden gem in the historic part of Ballard. Cindy provided GREAT service, Covid restrictions and all. She had clearly reviewed my Knot inspiration board and questionnaire before the appointment, so she was ready to provide recommendations - one of which ended up being my dress! She listened carefully the whole time and made me feel confident about my final choice. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop overall - it was upbeat, stylish, but not too overwhelming. Thanks for giving me my Say Yes to the Dress moment!

My first time trying on wedding dresses and i had a great experience !there are so many different styles, lots of well known labels, but it wasn’t so much that it was overwhelming to look through. i tried on about 9 different dresses in 1 hour and i left with a couple of favorites . friendly staff . price point seems to be around 2-3k .

I had my first wedding dress shopping experience here and I could NOT have been happier! Not gonna lie, I walked in pretty clueless as to what I want, but my appointment stylist Brittany did such a great job teasing out exactly what I might like, and even followed up with me afterwards with customization options that I might love. Highly recommend it.

I had the best experience dress shopping at a&bé. They were so welcoming and had an amazing selection of dresses. I worked with Cat, who was absolutely incredible. She was more than I could have asked for. She was kind, patient, and made me feel so comfortable. She truly made the experience for me. Thank you so much a&bé and Cat for helping me find my dream dress!

They have such a large selection of beautiful dresses in various styles. The employees were all so kind, thoughtful, and helpful in the process. Loren was my stylist and she is a solid 10/10. She was patient, honest, and accommodating. There was other bridal shops I went to where I felt like the stylist made me feel like a dress up doll and had me try on dresses just to try them, but my experience with Loren was the exact opposite. She listened to how I felt and what I wanted and took a thoughtful approach with every dress she picked out. She made me feel comfortable and confident during this process and I felt like at the end of the day she was there for me - not to make a sale, etc. This was also my first dress shop I went to in this process and they set the bar for dresses and the experience very high. Going here a definite must when wedding dress shopping!

I had such a wonderful appointment last week! I am not typically a fancy gown type of person, and my stylist Elissa was very understanding of how little I know about wedding dresses. She helped me articulate my feelings, helped make selections that pared down what I was interested in, and provided helpful information about the overall process of wedding gown shopping and production, as well as fitting. Thank you Elissa and thank you a&bé for a wonderful experience and for helping me get started on my wedding dress shopping. Looking forward to being back in the future!

Such a great shop with an incredible selection of designers. Rachel really made me feel heard, and like she was on my side throughout the process. 10/10!

Kat was amazing and made the appointment perfect!I went in not sure what I was actually looking for and Kat was so receptive, and made sure that I was able to try on multiple silhouettes to see what I felt best in. She provided the right amount of structure and feedback so I never felt lost, or like I was trying on dresses just to try them on.She is incredibly friendly and warm, and was so enthusiastic and genuine throughout the appointment. I found a beautiful dress but ultimately the timeline didnt match for me to make a hard decision. I appreciate that I never felt pressured to make a decision on the spot. Between all the different dresses and great staff, I highly recommend this bridal salon!

Loren was amazing as she helped me navigate trying on wedding dresses. Ultimately I didnt find anything at her shop that was the best fit for me and my wedding day, but she was genuinely helpful in me making that decision and even celebrated with me over a glass of complimentary champagne! If youre looking for great service, make sure to schedule an appointment here!

While you only get 1 consultant, it felt like everyone was in my corner, on my team. I felt like my consultant, Brittany, was a great listener when I told her what I liked and didnt like and pulled dresses I had researched on their Pinterest board. She played the perfect balance of being attentive and also giving me time to feel myself in the dress and talk to my friends who FaceTimed in to the appointment. Really relaxed and personable was the whole vibe. Definitely recommend this salon, great selection for the modern bride. I have been to a total of 3 salons and this was my favorite by far!

I found my wedding dress at A & Be last night and it was such a wonderful experience! The dress selection is amazing and Kat and Lauren were so helpful. They made me feel comfortable and beautiful while giving me valuable and honest feedback. Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming process at times and finding my dress was the least stressful thing yet. Thank you for such a fantastic experience that I will remember forever!

Felt like a waste of my time. I was pretty explicit with what I liked, but still was given dress I wasnt really super thrilled about. Including one that was the polar opposite of what I wanted just to see if I actually didnt like it (shocking twist, I didnt like it). I never even got to try on the ones I was more interested in, since we ran out of time on the filler dresses.

Brides, you MUST go to a&bé bridal – it is the most unforgettable, personalized, and special experience I have ever had, and the shop is incredible. From the amazing people there to help you find your dream dress, to the layout of the store, to the incredibly support providing while identifying dresses and trying them on (and off)... this is literally like a fairytale bridal shop experience, and I cannot say enough about giving yourself this as a gift as a new bride!!!My own personal experience was A++ from the moment I walked into the store, got Sammy as my unbelievably talented “assistant”, and got to walk through the dress options with her, to all of Sammy’s amazing compliments and support in trying to get my family and friends on a virtual call so they could be there in spirit (with sister and best friend in tow, all masks on of course!)... I honestly wouldn’t trade my experience for the world, and found my dream dress (AND cried happy tears!), all because of a&bé bridal!!!YOU MUST VISIT THEM, BRIDES! Xo!

As a girl who gets nervous as all heck when it comes to things fitting/ working out, this was the place to go!!!! Everyone was so helpful from picking out a dress to picking it up and taking it home! Everyone is also so friendly and the ultimate hype women! I worked with Summer both times I went and she was so great and put all of the silly nerves at ease! Highly recommend for a fun, confident, and nerve free experience 💕

Was absolutely stunned by how beautiful all the dresses were. I have put in a lot of weight but they pulled my size so easily that just by trying it in I could imagine what my day would be like. I had Elissa B. Helping me and she was so so so nice and helpful she completely understood what I wanted even if I I didn’t know. As well as the other women working were so sweet and would complement me every time they passed me. It was a fantastic experience for my first time trying in dresses.

Seattle a&be is a top-notch shop. From the selection of dress to the amazing consultants. I would highly recommend booking with Summer Phillips. Summer Phillips was amazing and has the best interest of her customers. I completely trusted her through this slightly stressful process and she proved invaluable. Summer called me a few days before my scheduled appointment and talked through my goals and current wedding dress situation. Upon arrival to the shop, Summer was enthusiastic about my appointment and very welcoming. She made my appointment a success by checking in on me when she saw the emotions of typical wedding dress shopping going south. She reminded me to stay in-check with myself and what I wanted and to not compromise. Summer was so clued in that she even requested that the current song playing in the store be changed to improve the mood. She helped to encourage my guests to tune into my natural reaction to the dresses when I first came out of the dressing room. I ended up with my dream dress thanks to Summer and cant wait to wear it on my big day. Summer is an all-star!!!! If I could give her 100 stars I would! She rocks!

Highly recommend a&bé bridal for the perfect wedding dress experience! Summer was an absolute dream to work with! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in every dress I tried on - a true hype gal. I literally felt like I was shopping with one of my girlfriends. They have an amazing dress selection and walk you through every designer/style. Shopping for a wedding dress during COVID can be a little tricky, but I felt like I still had the same bridal experience as everyone else, if not better. The shop takes precautions to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable before getting started. After trying on 10 dresses, I finally said YES to the one! Eek! Thank you a&be (special shout-out to Summer) for making this experience so memorable and enjoyable! ❤️

I was so excited, but also a bit nervous to try on wedding dresses. Wed been waiting for so long due to COVID and Ive always been anxious, even felt like sometimes bridal shopping can feel elitist or unsupportive. Brittany was the answer to my anxious prayers. She was super friendly, she even contacted me the day before to introduce herself and get a feel for what I was looking for in a dress. When we came to the appointment, she was SO accommodating. I had 3 guests with me and she got them comfy right away. She even allowed us to bring our own bottle of champagne (which we sipped and then promptly put our masks back on to keep everyone safe) and provided chilled flutes, an extra luxurious touch. We then toured the space looking at each designers rack of dresses and she let my guests tag along to give their opinions too, which helps limit wandering and grabbing of dresses later on. We grabbed probably 10 dresses to try, at one point I wondered if there was a limit to how many, but she never made me feel like I was being excessive or unrealistic.When it came time to try on the dresses, Brittany was great at checking with me about my comfort level around her helping me in the room to get the dresses on (if her manager is reading this, give Brittany a raise!!). She was super lovely and made it a simple process of getting through all my choices. She helped me narrow down my choices and I never felt pressured for time. When we got to my final two choices, she helped us add any accessories that I was considering and gave me plenty of time to to mix and match until we came to a decision. She is great with time management, keeping us right on schedule even with my ridiculous amount of dresses.Overall, the shopping experience was an absolute dream, Im so glad I chose to come to this shop. The aesthetics of the space were very well done, the division of space between rooms was clear enough to make you feel like it was your space without feeling claustrophobic. The dresses they stock are stunning and they have a wide variety of styles and designer to please all tastes.100/10 would recommend any future bride to check out this shop!

A&be was the first and only place I went wedding dress shopping. That is how amazing their dress collection is. I explained the type of wedding I was having and the style of dress I was interested in, and my stylist Summer immediately said I have the dress for you. The dress she picked was the very first one I tried on and the immediate winner. I couldnt believe it! It was PERFECT. Summer was kind, attentive, and made the experience both simple and enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting a&be (and ask for summer!).

I had a wonderful experience with the stylist, who made me feel comfortable and in no way pressured to buy anything. I was so nervous, but Janneke made me feel so special. Highly recommend!

Sabrina was an amazing stylist and helped me find my dress! Herself and along with the entire staff at a & be were very welcoming and supportive.

The lovely staff at a&bé helped me find my rehearsal dress when it had come down to the wire - Id tried on so many dresses for it but nothing was quite right. We were doing an all white rehearsal dinner (meaning all the guests wore white as well) so I wanted to stand out as the bride but not upstage my own wedding dress! Tough.I found a silky dress off the rack at a&bé that lucky for me was a near perfect fit (just needed a smidge of tailoring around the bust, and dry cleaning). I couldnt be more thankful for their kindness and help in making my rehearsal dress dreams come true! Just wish I had taken more photos of me in the dress at the rehearsal dinner itself, it was so beautiful (I think my husband liked it even more than my wedding dress!)

Thank you Brittany for making my experience so positive and flawless. I appreciate that she listened closely and really focused on what I wanted to try on - she did a wonderful job pinning and moving at a great pace.

Kat was my bridal stylist and she was SO great! She was super friendly and welcoming, and when we sat down to go over my initial ideas, she totally understood the look I was going for. I loved her friendly and confident approach to identifying the dresses I might like, and she could not have been more helpful in giving me different aspects of each dress to think about once I tried it on. I honestly loved my entire dress shopping experience with her. The a&be store is super cute, clean, styled very well, and definitely makes you feel special as you try on dresses for the big day! :)

A&be was such a positive dress shopping experience! From the consult call to the actual appointments, they made the whole process fun and welcoming. Kat was my stylist and she was awesome! She was patient while I tried on a ton, helpful with her opinions and advice, and overall just really fun to work with. She felt genuinely excited about her job and the experience. The shop has a great selection at more reasonable price points than I found at some of the other shops in town.

I had a great experience working with Janneke at A&Be! This was my last appointment of the weekend. The shop is beautiful and well organized. Janneke made the experience of saying yes to my dress easy and fun! Cant wait to go back and pick up my dress later this year!

This store is a dream, and my stylist Kat took the best care of me when I went in to try on dresses. Kat made sure my guests and I were up to speed on what to look for and what was available. After trying on a few styles, she made a great suggestion and took us in a different direction that led to my favorite dress! I didnt say yes to the dress that day, but I know Ill be in good hands when I go back.

A&be and especially Loren were amazing! I found my dream dress after going to 7+ other places, they were so encouraging and helped me figure out what looked great, felt great, and was within my budget. Would definitely recommend!

Kat was such a great consultant! A&be was the second place I went wedding dress shopping. I wasn’t ready to make a decision when I went but felt no pressure to decide at the time. I ended up going to two other places afterwards but couldn’t get the dress I had tried on at a&be out of my head so I came back for a “say yes” appointment - and said yes! The service at A&be was so much better than the other places I looked and I can’t wait to wear my A&be dress for my big day! Thank you so much Kat!

Sarah Greene was exceptional. I think we can all say, that finding a dress that feels right within budget is a daunting task. I knew I wanted something a little whimsical with and elegant shape which started out ridiculously broad but Sarah helped me narrow down some really cool designers. She was also incredibly attuned to asking what I liked about a dress while still taking input from the people I brought to my dress appointment. I highly recommend you check out á&bé. This was my favorite spot in Seattle.

I worked with Kat to find my dress and she was so sweet! She listened to what I had told her my style, likes, and dislikes were and was mindful of my budget while browsing. As well as being knowledgeable about each designer & dress. She pulled a great line-up for me to try on (including a couple that weren’t exactly my style, cuz you never know!) and was so patient with my indecisiveness. I had to make a second appointment to make my final decision and she was just as attentive & patient the second time around, taking the time to fill me in on the different options available for customising once I ordered. I never felt rushed or pushed to buy anything when I was unsure.

The staff were so friendly and nice! They asked all the right questions to help me narrow down my vision. I would highly recommend this place for brides in the Seattle are!

This was the last stop of our day trying on wedding dresses for myself. We had been to two other stores so far. At one of the others I had found the dress to beat. The gal that helped us was Elissa. We went around the shop and I pointed out around 8-10 dresses I liked and would love to try on. I told her I did not want traditional, not sparkle/beading, nothing fitted, and no sheath dresses. She only brought 2 of the ones I asked to try and then continued to bring EVERYTHING that I mentioned I dont feel comfortable in or dont like. Each time I would say a dress wasnt for me after trying it on, she became visibly more annoyed and much less friendly. Even the two people I brought with me noticed it. We ended up cutting our appointment short because I did not feel comfortable and felt more like we were inconveniencing & annoying her. They have beautiful dresses but the attitude should be much better if you are helping women find the dress of their dreams. And if they find it somewhere else, you shouldnt be rude or salty towards them but happy they got to find their dream dress at all.

I would recommend this shop hands down to everyone and anyone! Selection off the charts, I had so many options that actually looked good on my hard to fit figure. The person who helped me, was extremely helpful, attentive, communicated and utmost, the other people working there also got involved and made me feel really at home and comfortable. Very professional yet friendly and homey. I love my experience here and I believe they nailed it on the head for me, they made my dress trying on day very special

Truly wonderful experience picking my dress out with Summer! I appreciated the shops attention to detail and getting every measurement just right! Highly recommend :)

What an amazing experience!! I was so nervous about finding my dream dress, as I have been struggling with PCOS and a lot of weight gain from it. Not once did I feel judged by my body, even during measurements. It was all around a positive, incredible experience! Elissa listened to what I wanted and brought out many dresses for me to try on. Ultimately, a dress that I had spotted on their Instagram and already had my eyes on was the one! All of the employees made me feel so confident and gorgeous in the dress, and a bonus was that the designer of the dress was willing to make it custom to fit my body’s exact measurements for a very low additional cost.I would recommend this bridal boutique to anyone. :)

I had a great time wedding dress shopping. Even though I was alone, I got top notch service and support from the a and be staff. At the end of the appointment, I really felt like I knew the type of dress that I wanted (something that had always previously alluded me).100% recommend!

I had such a great experience at a&bé with Kellyn! She was so welcoming and made me, my mom, and my maid of honor feel so comfortable. She brought an amazing amount of energy to my appointment and was basically my own personal hype woman for an hour! She pulled a variety of dresses for me to try and really listened to my vision/opinions. I never felt pressured or rushed and was able to enjoy the appointment from start to finish. The shop itself is super cute, they carry a lot of different styles, and the entire staff was so friendly. Would definitely recommend a&bé and Kellyn!!

Go here for your dress! I had such a wonderful experience shopping with Sammy at a&b bridal. Not only was she kind and helpful, but she also had a great eye for picking out exactly what I was looking for. The shop is really dreamy and has so many gorgeous options. I went at a time while covid restrictions were in effect and I felt safe while there. They limit the overall number of people in the store, ask you to wash your hands when you arrive, and require everyone to wear masks during the visit. Ive had a few bridal appointments at different locations and this was my favorite spot to visit in Seattle.

This was my first time in a bridal store and Kellyn made sure to make the moment special. She listened to my wants and delivered! She was also honest and genuine about wanting me to find the best dress for me even if it wasnt at their store. My entourage and myself were a bit of a handful but Kellyn was extremely patient! I loved every second of the appointment. I would definitely recommend this bridal shop. The dresses are gorgeous!

I had a wedding dress chosen and bought for months already. However, I started to have second thoughts about it because I wasnt feeling 100% confident in it. I discovered a & be bridal shop via a brand that they carry. I booked an appointment last minute with 5 months left before my wedding day, which is cutting it pretty close when taking the dress arrival and alteration process into consideration. Dresses here range between $1500-$4000, I believe.My personal experience was just perfect. I had Maria.d as my stylist and she understood my situation, price point, and style. Shes the sweetest! We tried on the dress I initially came in to try on along with a handful of other similar dresses. She was upfront with the prices and was helpful in letting me know if it was going to need a rush fee or not. In the end, I chose a different dress than the one I came in for and Im in love! Maria was able to help me find the best dress for my body and style. And I cannot wait for the dress arrival! Definitely recommend this shop!

This place has beautiful, unique dresses. Go see Kat! She is fabulous and makes the experience so easy.

I couldn’t have asked for a better bridal dress experience than I did at a&bé. Summer was amazing and she took the took the time to really get to know me and my style! She was so sweet and so helpful. The shop is so adorable and comfortable. We had our own area and the employees were great about abiding by covid redirections. Thank you a&bé for the best bridal dress experience ever! Because of you I was able to find my DREAM dress! ❤️

Great dress options and fabulous staff. Cindy you were the best! You helped me find styles that fit my guidelines while also being respectful of my budget. Your magic corgi mask helped me find my dream dress! Thank you! :-)

This is a beautiful boutique! Kellyn and the rest of the team made the whole experience feel very special and personal, and did a great job presenting me with options that fit my style preferences and budget.

Alyssa and the entire staff at a&be’ were so wonderful and accommodating! Such a great experience, even during Covid. All safety measures were in place and we felt very comfortable and welcome. I found my dream Made With Love dress, with Alyssa’s help! We will be celebrating our vow renewal in style and my hubby will be floored! Thanks so much to all! I highly recommend this bridal salon and will be telling everyone I know about this gem in Ballard.

Seattle brides should look no further than a&bé! Its hard enough narrowing down boutiques and dresses during the pandemic, so I didnt know what to expect. As soon as I made my online appointment however, I knew this was where Id find my dress! The service was exceptional - they call to greet you, offers reminders, and ensure they answer any questions in advance. The day of the appointment was just perfect. Kat, my bridal stylist, was completely wonderful and attentive, from greeting me at the entrance, to talking me through our appointment, browsing the dresses, and editing to my top choices. I felt like the appointment was tailored to me, and just for me, which made it all the more special!

Setting up an appointment was easy online or over the phone. When I got there, everyone seemed so happy and excited to see me even though we had never met. Mandi was my consultant and listened to everything I said and let me try on everything I wanted and gave great suggestions. It was a super fun experience and I will definitely be back. The space was really beautiful and cozy. Casual yet elegant. I wish I could hang with these girls all day every day. Thank you ladies!

Came to this location with my top 2 dresses narrowed down. Kat was amazing and was so accommodating! She really took her time and let me try on the same dress at 3 different occasions during my appointment time! Everyone working was so friendly and helpful. Said yes to my dress that night!

Maria was awesome!!! She made me feel so relaxed during the entire process of looking for a dress as well as confident. My mom, sis and 8 year old niece were with me and they were very accommodating to everyone. The whole team was really sweet and encouraging. Would recommend a&bé 10/10!

I had recently lost 30lbs and still wasn’t fully secure with my body and all these ladies made me feel as if I was The most gorgeous bride! I had gone to another bridal store a few days before and was body shamed.( I’m a 12-14) Trying to put me into a fuller dress although it wasn’t what I wanted. Honestly made me want to stop looking for wedding dresses.The a&bé bridal team is amazing! One of the best bridal experiences I could have asked for. I showed Sammy inspiration photos and told her everything I was looking for and pulled so many beautiful dresses for me to try on! Every dress Sammy had me try on made me feel so beautiful. And all other ladies from the team made were hyping me up! With COVID, you are only allowed to have a certain amount of people with you and they honestly made me feel as if I had my whole family present.The whole process was so smooth. And ended up finding my perfect dress. Honestly almost left with two! Lol that’s how good they are! I ordered my dress and it arrived a lot sooner than I had anticipated. Shout out to SUMMER who was the sweetest thing ever on the phone and the manager who was helping me get everything situation so I could plan my trip up there.(I live in TX). I hope these ladies continue to do this for a very long time and continue to give all brides amazing experiences.Thank you a&bé bridal Seattle for being a so wonderful and being a part of this journey!

My bridal appointment was on 10/29/20 with Sarah G., and 5 stars feels simply inadequate to describe the care and attention I was given at a&be Seattle!I arrived a few minutes early with one of my bridesmaids and Sarah G. gave us a tour of the salon. I immediately was put at ease by the strict covid precautions put in place, and I loved that we had the whole salon to ourselves!Sarah listened carefully to my style preferences and hand picked several gowns that she thought would be perfect for me, but also let me look through every dress they had a pick any extras I wanted to try on. Everyone wore masks the entire time, but when I narrowed down my selection to my top 2 choices, Sarah stepped away so I could take a few mask-less pictures for reference.My biggest fear of going to a bridal salon was feeling pressured to buy a dress when I just wasnt ready. I am EXTREMELY picky and take a lot of time to make any big decisions, especially when it comes to my dress. Sarah never made me feel pressured to buy, and I felt like she truly understood my thought process. She encouraged me to take my time, even if that means coming back to try on again, which I appreciate more than they can understand!In the end I was between two dresses by designer Made With Love, both which were in the $2k-$3k range (which seemed very reasonable for the high quality). When I make my final decision, I cant wait to see Sarah G. and her team again. Thank you so much, Sarah!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Sammy at a&bé!!!She made me feel so comfortable. When she could tell I wasn’t in love with any of the dresses I picked for myself she told me to trust her with one last dress she thought I would love and it ended up being the ONE!!! I would not have found my dress without her. Thank you for making my vision come to life

This is an absolutely gorgeous shop with an amazing selection of dresses in a wide range of styles & budgets. Mandi was absolutely INCREDIBLE! She really listened and pulled the right styles & shapes for my style and body type. She didnt try to put me in anything out of my budget or in a dress that I wasnt comfortable in. My appointment at a & be has been by far my favorite dress shop experience. The whole staff is wonderful and makes you feel incredibly special throughout the whole experience. They communicate well afterward as well! I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. (And it certainly didnt hurt that I found my dream dress here either...)Long story short: if youre looking for a unique dress with a boho, romantic, or modern vibe you should DEFINITELY book an appointment here!

Sammy is absolutely amazing (as were the rest of the ladies at a&bé)!!! I cannot recommend this bridal salon enough!! I was searching for my wedding dress in the middle of the pandemic and the entire team at a&bé made me feel comfortable, safe, welcome, and relaxed. Sammy listened to exactly what I was looking for and I ended up choosing the first dress she put me in! She knew exactly which dress I would love, even when I was unsure of what I wanted at previous dress appointments (at other bridal salons).I just picked up my dress today and Sammy was as lovely as before!! The whole team is professional and efficient, but extremely caring and sensitive to your needs. They’re also such fun people - I wish I could be part of their girl gang!I would HIGHLY recommend you stop at a&bé if you are looking for your perfect wedding dress! They truly are the full package. Thank you, Sammy, and a&bé for helping me find the dress of my dreams!!! Seriously though, check them out - you won’t be disappointed!

I had a wonderful experience at this shop! Everyone was very helpful. Kat was my personal helper and she was wonderful! So sweet and helpful with all of my decisions and trying on different styles. Definitely recommend this shop!

Sarah is hands down the best bridal consultant I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I went to a total of eight bridal salons in the search for “THE” gown. Sarah made me feel incredibly comfortable and accepted in her salon- Not something I felt wholeheartedly at other places.They have a fantastic selection of gorgeous gowns from a ton of designers, both well-known and novel, in a wide range of prices. If you’re looking for something really special and unique, they carry gowns from designers with less than twenty shops in the US.Sarah stayed in touch as I navigated the difficulties of trying to find a gown during a pandemic, without my family to help. She supported me with patience and grace, and I will recommend A&BE to everyone looking for a bridal gown.The company has fantastic values, and support a fantastic cause with their work. Please check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

Cindy was so nice and helpful! Awesome shopping experience. I found my dress

I highly recommend coming to a&bé to find your dream dress! a&bé was the first and only place I shopped and Im so glad! The day after I made my appointment online, Sammy called me to get an idea of my style, budget and timeline. I was pretty nervous to go wedding dress shopping as I tend to get overwhelmed by shopping period, so this first call was great for easing my nerves and getting me excited. The shop is small, so you dont get paralyzed by choices and my stylist Cindy listened carefully to what I wanted and helped me pull several dresses to start with. I knew I loved Truvelle, so Cindy was sure to point out the Truvelle dresses. Cindy helped me eliminate dresses that I didnt love and we narrowed it down to three Truvelle dresses. She asked me what I loved about each dress and helped me build a custom dress out of the three! I had found my dress in under an hour! All the stylists who were around were so sweet and excited to hear how I was customizing my dress. I also found a beautiful veil to go along with my dress that Ill be able to try on with my completed dress at my first fitting. I am so excited to see my dream dress in person and I have all the confidence in the world that my dress will be absolutely perfect.a&bé is THE place to shop for your wedding dress. I never imagined this experience would be so easy, stress-free and FUN!Edit post-wedding: the pandemic threw a wrench in everyones plans for the final dress pickup and fitting, but curbside pickup was seamless and Cindy actually organized a zoom call with me to see me try on my dress after I had alterations done and gave me some great tips and encouragement for the wedding day. All in all, I cant recommend a&bé enough for all your wedding dress needs!

I had so much fun trying on gowns at A&Bé and I found my dream wedding dress! Sammy was super welcoming and helpful and made the experience an incredible one. She went above and beyond pulling out a wide variety of gowns for me to try on and snapping a few photos of my mom & me once I picked THE dress. I strongly recommend a&bé for all future Brides!!

Sammy made my dress buying experience an absolute DREAM. I took advantage of the home try-on option, which began with a virtual browse of the shop. Sammy immediately understood the look I was going for, and seemed genuinely excited about helping me shop. Picking up the dresses was seamless, as was dropping them off. I tried a couple other dress shops before my followup appointment at A&Be, but I knew deep down that Id already found my dress. Everyone at A&Be was positive and fun, and Sammy totally took the pressure off and made the whole experience easy!

I went to a&be for my first ever bridal appointment, Maria was my stylist. She was AMAZING, she asked all the right questions and helped me narrow down dress options. Everyone in the shop was very accommodating to all of my guests as well, we were a fairly large group and they ensured everyone was comfortable. The dress selection at a&be is incredible, so many different and unique styles. If youre a boho babe I highly recommend you check out a&be!

I had such a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress here. All of the ladies were so supportive and made me feel confident in my choice. Sammy was so grounding during the whole experience and truly made me feel seen with my ideas. Also, loved that they had a great selection of sizes as I’m nearly 6ft tall and typically wear a size 14-16 dress. So so thankful for this store!

I had an amazing appointment. I wasnt sure what to expect, as it was my first time trying on dresses, but it was wonderful! Everyone in the shop was so helpful and friendly and I tried on way more dresses than I thought I would be able to! Than you a&be for making this a wonderful experience.

So this review is WAY overdue. I went in February 2019 to pick out a wedding dress for my September 2019 wedding and I set up two appointments. I thought the first appointment was fine until we came to a&bé. Champagne and just happiness all around even though I was sick with a sinus infection. Maria was my stylist and she was beyond amazing. She was also my engagement ring twin so I knew from the beginning she was perfect. She constantly checked in with me to see how I felt about the dresses and not just what my guests thought. I found two dresses I loved (by the same designer), and she texted the designer to see if she could combine the two into a custom dress. a&bé went above and beyond to stay in my budget and style choices. After I said yes, she followed up regularly to let me know how the process was going and to check to make sure the dress would be shipped to the correct address (which was HUGE, because I moved since visiting the store). They are HANDS DOWN the best experience ever and I am so in love with my custom dress. Thank you so much Maria!

I had a great experience with a&be. Sarah made the entire experience easy, professional and fun - even during our Pandemic. Sarah had reviewed my file prior to my visit and already had dresses in mind. She gracefully explained pricing and common prices before we began which I appreciated as it potentially could have saved me time and stress. We selected gowns together and then breezed through others that likely weren’t for me, just to be sure. As I tried things on, Sarah was organized in changing out the dresses and keeping track of which elements were favored, etc. The proper clipping helped me to visualize the dress in my size and helped us move forward at an appropriate pace. She was knowledgeable and offered variation options when appropriate for each dress. It was a great experience and they had a great selection. Ultimately, I ended up purchasing a dress elsewhere, but I was very close to purchasing from a&be.

Not only was Kat amazing, but the store itself has the perfect vibe for a great dress appointment. Kat walked us through sections of the store in my price range and we picked out a bunch of dresses together. She was super helpful in getting me to envision me and the dress on my wedding day.

While I didnt end up finding the one here, I had an absolutely amazing experience @ a&be! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to find a dress with highly intelligent and accommodating sales staff. The ladies and gents @ a&be know there product and what it takes to make a bride feel beautiful!

This shop was absolutely gorgeous. It felt like a dream walking in, let alone the experience they provided! Sammy made it pressure-free and genuinely wanted to help find my dress.

Sammi was WONDERFUL! She is so helpful, and seems so excited about truly making me feel special! I loved the experience and she helped me narrow down my choice. I loved 2 dresses but I am so happy with my decision and picked the one that fit my personality more!

Wonderful customer service. didnt feel pressured to buy. amazing selection and variety of dresses. Sammy was amazing!!

I had such a great experience at this bridal shop. I had looked at a few other places for my wedding dress and nothing even compared to my experience at a&be. My stylist was so friendly, kind, patient and encouraging. I did not feel pressured to purchase or even pushed in any direction. The entire team made me feel so comfortable and special. I really felt like they wanted me to find my perfect dress and cared about how I felt when trying on dresses. I absolutely LOVE my dress and cannot wait to pick it up. Overall, could not recommend this shop more.

I had such a wonderful experience at a&be. Summer and the rest of the team were so helpful, encouraging, and willing to let me try on anything and everything. I found my absolute dream gown and would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone looking for a dress for their special day!

Said yes to my dress Dec 30, 2020 and had a great time despite covid! Kat was amazing and they had a great selection! This was the only shop I went to but there was no need to even think about going anywhere else. No other location in the area had as many designers I was looking at in one place as A&be.Because of covid it was only my two guests and myself which was a great experience essentially having the whole place to ourselves. My mom, sister, and maid of honor were out of state which was sad but I had a tripod and a zoom call going and everyone made it so fun and like they were right there with me which was very special. I cannot wait to pick my dress up!

My entire experience at a&be could not have been more enjoyable and I felt compelled to share, especially for other 2020 brides who are pretty burnt out by all things wedding related like me.I shopped at quite a few shops before this and had even purchased a dress from a classic chain store (terrible experiences) but after having to change plans due to COVID, I wanted a dress that would not remind me of a postponed wedding. From the moment I met Cindy I felt like we were longtime friends. She made me feel SO welcome and took time to really listen to what I was looking for (and I was probably vague) and make me feel special and valued. My wedding is in a few months so I needed a dress I could walk out with that day. I was expecting not to have many dress options to choose from in the sample section but I tried on many and ALL were gorgeous and reasonably priced. If youre looking for something more affordable, quick, or ecofriendly, I definitely recommend!While Im convinced Cindy is the best, the other employees also took time to walk by and be encouraging and kind! The place was clean, welcoming, cute, and overall amazing! I cant wait for my friends to get married so I can take them there and skip right past the unfriendly pushy places!If youre like me and have walked by this beautiful place and admired it from afar but thought it was way outta your league, I promise its not and it will definitely be worth it!

Working with Kat was awesome. She helped me explore the store and I appreciate how knowledgeable Kat is about the different designers.

Kat was my bridal stylist when visiting this shop (twice!) and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. I was anxious about trying on dresses as I am generally an indecisive person. She took me on a tour of all the designers and made notes about the things I was commenting on and didnt make me feel like I had a set limit on what I could try on. She was very supportive, enthusiastic, super sweet, comfortable, and ALSO made me feel like I was killin it in every dress (nice boost to self confidence after a soul crushing covid year). She didnt rush me at all, which I really appreciated. When I came back for the second time with new inspiration after my previous vision was a total bust, she took me back through the designers and let me have that first experience all over again. I would HIGHLY recommend coming to a&be to find your dress :)

This was my first bridal shop (and my last)! Sammy was amazing, listened to me and what I was wanting. Grabbed the dress I was most interested in trying on and it was love at first sight. Although I had no idea what that was suppose to feel like being my first dress and first bridal shop. Sammy made me feel comfortable. She kept allowing me to try on other dresses. I left still thinking about that one dress and called back later that day to see if I could come back and put it on. They had an opening in the day and I was able to come back and say YES to THE dress. Sammy and the other girls in the shop were very friendly, communicative, and made me feel confident. Even during a COVID-19 appointment we were all safe and mindful of the guidelines.

A&be is so great!I visited roughly 10 bridal shops in looking for the one and a&be absolutely had the best service (plus I went there twice!). They have a great selection of dresses that offer something for everyone - from romantic to glamorous to simple to classic. Dress prices range from $1K and up with most falling around $2-3K. The staff are so patient and supportive as you navigate the decision of what dress for your special day and I really appreciated all their honest, positive feedback. Especially when I visited solo during COVID. Highly recommend this as the first stop in your wedding dress search, you will not be disappointed!
