From the reviews

As a future bride, I have only the best things to say about Bel Soie, specifically Anna. She is so helpful, kind and knowledgeable about everything bridal, not just the dresses! She made me feel so comfortable and validated while trying on gowns and veils.

★★★★★ — Shy, Feb 2025

I had the best experience shopping for my bridal gown at Bel Soie’s. Anna was great to work with and was so patient. I really liked the fact that you get to look at all the dresses and hand pick them yourself to try on!

★★★★★ — Kalley, Feb 2025

I absolutely LOVED my experience with Ana at the New Ulm shop! She listened to everything I said and helped me find THE ONE!! Im so excited for my big day having such a big thing picked out! I tried one other shop and the experience I had here was truly unmatched compared to the other dress store I tried!!

★★★★★ — Serena, Feb 2025

I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience at Bel Soie by Valerie's Bridal New Ulm. They’ve been incredible to work with! I was nervous about being a little bit of a bigger girl but I should not have worried one bit!

★★★★★ — Anna, Feb 2025

Plus size bridal & formal at Bel Soie by Valerie's Bridal- New Ulm

Bel Soie by Valerie's Bridal- New Ulm comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
