Bellisima's Bridesmaid Collections
We offer the complete collections from a number of top bridalwear companies including Bill Levkoff, Eden Bridals, DaVinci Bridal, Impression Bridal, Liz Fields, and Milano. The bridesmaid area in our Kalamazoo salon has over 800 sample bridesmaid dresses in stock from which you can shop and compare fabrics, check color swatches and get more information on delivery timeframes and options. Walk-ins are welcomed, but appointments are always appreciated to ensure we have adequate staff and dressing rooms available to attend to your parties needs and to help you create your perfect look. The Albion location has a limited selection of value priced bridesmaid dresses.
Moms & Flower Girls
We have attire for every member of the bridal party, including mothers of the occasion, christening, first communion, any event that calls for formal, semi formal, or dressy attire. We also have an extensive collection of flower girl and junior bridesmaid dresses. Visit the sites below to view our entire collection.

Best Sellers Under $100Bellisima offers a number of re-orderable bridesmaids dresses regularly priced under $100 from companies such as Milano Formals, Cinderella Designs and Juliet. These dresses are “pre-cut” and in-stock in company warehouses, and not specially cut at the time of your order. This means they can usually be delivered to our store within a week or two after a bridal party’s order is complete; however, it also means there can be slight variations* in dye color as the dresses may have been cut from different bolts of fabric. Our experience has been that such variations are minor, but some customers do notice them. *On special order dresses we place the entire party’s order at the same time to ensure all the dresses are cut from the same lot of fabric to prevent the color variations.that occur even on bolts of the same colored fabric. |

Express Bridesmaid OfferingsMost bridesmaids companies cut your dresses after you order them in order to be able to offer a large arrange of styles, colors and sizes. While times vary among designers, most companies require cut periods of 8 to 16 weeks before the gowns ship—and it should be noted those are just “estimated” delivery times. The times can vary from the estimate, especially during the busy season. This means that, in order to allow for possible delivery delays and ensure adequate time for alterations, depending again on which company you order from, a regular order must be placed 3 ½ to 6 months in advance to ensure adequate delivery time. Bellisima has a number of options available to the bride who does not have that much lead time available. In addition to the value collections listed above, several of our designers offer some of their better selling styles in express options that can vary in delivery from “shipped within three business days”, like Eden’s In-Stock Bridesmaid Program, to delivery within two to four weeks, such as Davinci’s “One Week shipping” and "Three Week any color" programs. These programs offer a limited number of styles and/or imited number of colors, but can meet the requirements of many brides who don’t have a significant amount of time till their wedding date. Additionally, most of our companies offer five to seven week cut periods on any of their regular bridesmaid styles for an additional fee (see designer links below for the full range of styles available in the bridesmaid collections). However, use of rush delivery services still requires a several month lead time as even rush orders do not commit the designers to a specific delivery date, i.e., they may vary from their estimated ship date if there are delays in their production schedules. Plus most customers will require some alterations and adequate time must be allowed to ensure you can arrange any alterations needed. Finally, we do have recently discontinued bridesmaid dresses in our Diamond Value Collection clearance center in our upstairs ballroom. These dresses are from top designers with original MSRPs of up to $350, but all are priced $89 or less in our clearance center. However, sizes are mostly limited between 8 and 14 since this is the size most companies include in their bridal sample packages. Since time is of the essence for the bride who has less than three and a half months before her wedding, we strongly encourage you to make an appointment to talk to one of our consultants so we can get information on your requirements and offer you the greatest number of options possible to help keep the stress of planning a wedding in a limited time frame to a minimum.
