For more info on bridal, visit our main site: www.weddingsbybelles.com - APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED.  We only have one more opening on Sat, and 2 on Friday.  You can schedule your appointment on the main site.  It has to be done online.

THIS SAT ONLY - Bridesmaids dresses are only $25 - THIS SAT. ONLY!

You do not need an appointment.  Walk in hours for the $25 bridesmaids dresses starts at 12:00 noon for the general public.

IF YOU BOUGHT YOUR WEDDING GOWN FROM US: You are invited to come at 11am for 1st dibs on the $25 bridesmaids dresses.  You MUST show proof of purchase, or you cannot come in!  Bring your receipt with you.

Bridal appointments will be in progress during the bridesmaid liquidation - that means you can only bring ONE person with you.  This rule will be strictly enforced.

You cannot try on the $25 dresses.  Come on folks, they are $25 bucks.  You save up to $300 off.  Get over it, and ask if it’ll fit you, if you find something you like.  If it doesn’t fit, give it to someone for Christmas.  You’ll look really awesome giving a $300 dress.  No one will know it was $25.  And we have lots of normal colors - like BLACK.

Many styles look like prom & cocktail dresses.

Leave your kids at home. It’s going to be a crazy sale day.

The $25 bridesmaids dresses are cash and carry - meaning you pay cash (and only cash) and carry them out the door.  Styles include Alfred Angelo, Bill Levkoff, Impression, and more.  Regular prices were $149- $399.

Average savings in dollars is about $500-$800 per gown!  Get a designer gown at a great price, and best of all - you get it TODAY.  Sample sale gowns can be taken home the same day, so come ready to buy because there is only one of each dress and when its gone, its gone!  Cash and carry only on sale gowns (no layaway).  For your convenience we accept MasterCard, Visa, cash, or check.

To make an appointment, just call (325)673-0033 to reserve your appointment today.  This sale only happens once a year, so you have awesome timing!

Anyway, we were contacted today by a production company in LA that produces shows from Bravo, TLC, and others. They were looking at us because we’re awesome! Who knows? A TV show might be in our future. ;D

Announcing Abilene’s only wholesale bridal warehouse!

This is a division of the posh Belle’s Bridal Boutique that has been in Abilene for several years. We wanted to give local brides a chance to own a designer gown without the designer price tag. That’s right! You are totally lucky you found this oasis of cheapness in the middle of the designer style desert.

Here is how it works:

For 1 day ONLY Belle’s will open their warehouse to the public: We will announce the sale date on our facebook page ONLY.

All gowns are cash and carry only: There is no layaway, so come ready to buy. We accept cash, credit (Visa, Mastercard).

There is only ONE of each gown: Our stock specialist can lead you to your sizes. You pick one out and and take it home before someone else does.

There are NO current styles from our main store: If you saw a gown at our main store it will NOT be in the clearance sale! These are styles that are not carried in the main store. They were purchased to for various reasons (local testing, for photography classes we teach, sampling, etc). These styles are donated to a mission after the sale. I currently have too many dresses to fit in the warehouse and need to get rid of them ASAP. They are styles that the main store does NOT sell including Alfred Angelo, Maggie Sottero, Jasmine, and more.

All gowns are a flat 50% off!!!! That makes most of them between $300-$500 for a designer wedding gown. And most of these look brand new, which is feakin awesome!

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

1. What date is your next sale? All sales will be listed as events on our facebook page. You can be automatically updated by fanning us. If you are planning on attending we ask that you RSVP as hours will be adjusted based on the number of brides coming to the event. All this information will be listed and updated via facebook.

2. What sizes do you have? We have a range of sizes from 0-24W with the majority being b/t a size 6-16.

3. Do we have to have it altered at Belle’s? No we do not. You are free to use your own seamstress. :o)

4. How much are the gowns? The original retail price on these gowns ranged from $600-$1200 and you only pay 1/2 - so they will cost $300-$600. There may be a few that are more or less.

5. Will you hold a gown for me? Nope, they are way to cheap to do holds or layaway. You’ll notice the gowns are priced cheaper than internet sites and consignment stores. They are priced so cheap so they sell fast.

6. What if I find a gown but want to wait to get it? That would be a bad plan since the gowns are donated to charity after each sale day. (Did I mention I need my warehouse space?)

7. How often do you get new stock? Every sale will have new stock.

8. How many sales like this will you have? Honestly, I have no idea. I’m planning on doing at least 1 to get rid of gowns that are taking up room in my warehouse. I need the space and the gowns have to go.

9. What should I bring with me? Since this is our warehouse and NOT our boutique you need to wear a bodysuit/ swimming suit so you can try on gowns quickly without having to get undressed. There are no dressing rooms. A Belle’s staff member will be around to answer basic questions (like can this be altered to fit me?).

10. Is this a posh & relaxing shopping experience like your main store? NO! This is bargain-basement, fell-off-a-truck, I-gotta-get-a-cheap-gown-or-die kinda shopping. If that scares you, go to the main store!

11. Do I need an appointment? No, but you do need to RSVP. Based on the number of RSVPs an opening and closing time will be announced. We strongly suggest you show up EARLY because you’ll get the best selection.

12. How long do I have to shop? You’ll get to try on your 3 favorite gowns after you register. Brides will be allowed back into the gown room 2-3 at a time. Each bride is given a max time of 25 minutes. When you arrive, you’ll get in line and wait your turn.

13. Can I bring an army of children, grandparents, and bridesmaids with me? NO! Bring your ONE die-hard BFF and leave everyone else at home. All those people cannot come back with you into the warehouse - they physically will not fit with the other brides, and all the gowns. NO exceptions. Children under 12 are NOT permitted for safety reasons, so do not bring them.
