    I DO NOT reccommend them! I had a terrible experience there with several very rude employees who were nasty and not helpful in my shopping experience.  I was snapped at infront of several other customers because I asked for a slip to try my dresses on with ("you're supposed to bring your own, we don't do that here").  In the dressing room, there were several ALREADY PURCHASED wedding gowns- that belonged to brides somewhere- hanging up and probably touched and tried on by shoppers.  My BM and I wound up leaving my items in the dressing room and walking out after being ignored for over 20 minutes, waiting for some clips to fit the dress I was attempting to try on.

    I had quite the opposite experience than that of the above poster, and would actually highly recommend Paradise.  I purchased my gown from them for my wedding last year, after my older sister had purchased hers there several years prior.  When my younger sister got engaged, she too bought her dress at Paradise.  My mom bought her gown there for all 3 of our weddings as well.  I've also referred several of my friends to Paradise, and we've all been completely satisfied.  I'd reccomend Elaine as a consultant, if possible, and Rosalie as your seamstress.  Although I did not order my bridesmaid gowns through Paradise, my girls used Rosalie for alterations bc she does such great work.  I guess I've been a fairly frequent patron of their shop over the past few years, and have become familiar with a few of the employees, who have always treated me very courteously.  Have fun shopping!!

    Thanks ladies!!To update, I went to paradise bridals on Sunday and loooooooooooved it. The store is HUGE! I worked with Patti and literally tried on about 30 dresses. I felt bad because I kept her there well after the store closed, but she kept pulling different dresses for me to try on also!! And I bought the dress!!! There was another saleswoman there who was NONE to happy that we were there for so long, and she seemed pretty nasty, but I don't know her name. If anyone heads out there, ask for Patti because she was GREAT!

    OMG!  My sister wore the exact same dress for her wedding last month!  It is gorgeous!   So light and delicate!  She got soooo many compliments on that dress, and it was super flattering too.  It looks beautiful on you, wear it well!
