I have nothing but positive things to say about Bridal Beginning so far. I just ordered my dress two weeks ago so I can not comment on alterations, but the dress buying experience there was wonderful!
I went to several bridal shops in the Pittsburgh and I thought the dress selection at Bridal Beginnings was really great. They have a lot of different designers and differing styles.
I worked with Sam, who was amazing! She was very supportive and helpful. She was super patient while I debated between two amazing dresses (she put me in and out of each as many times as I wanted so... ~6 times) . She even called me after I order my dress to share a fun fact about the designer I bought from.
I also want to add that the one designer they carry, Christiuano Lucci, cannot make a bad dress. I am vcery picky and I loved every dress in his collection. Bridal Beginnings is one of the only local stores that carrys his line.
I am so excited to get my dress and I will update this once I have a better idea how alterations go.
