acbride's reviews

We also did our rehearsal dinner here, and two of our bridal party had theirs at C&O last summer, with no problems. Great food, awesome price!

Just beware that their valet parking doesn't start til 6 (we had our rehearsal on a Saturday afternoon and parking was a nightmare. We should have made more people carpool...)

Marina was fantastic to work with - during our initial consultation she figured out exactly what style I wanted, and helped me pick out specific flowers and combinations. I was working on a very tight budget, and she made it work. The flowers were one of the best parts of the wedding and I was completely blown away by how great everything looked!!

UPDATE: DO NOT USE THIS VENDOR! THEY LOST MY PHOTOS!!!

Celebration did our engagement session and the wedding. They don't tell you who the photographer is til a few days before the session. We had some specific things we wanted (and made a list for the photographer) and he never received the list.

Our photographer showed up an hour late to the wedding. I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt... until I got our proofs. 30-40 minutes worth of photos are MISSING. They have only offered us credit towards proofs or scrapbooks.

Their communication is terrible, and the only time they have ever called me was when my balance was due. I would not hire them for anything.

I went to three David's Bridals to try on my dress for various family (one out of state). They were extremely helpful at all of them and had no trouble finding my info - I ended up ordering my dress from Northridge with Georgina. It was a special order and came about 2 months earlier than they had quoted me. (which is great, but I had to find somewhere to store it!)

Pebbles Bridal is convenient because they take walk-ins and you can pick all the gowns off the rack yourself. However, they only carry one sample of each dress in an 8 or 10. If you're petite it's hard to gauge how a dress is really going to look when you're trying on a 10, and we saw girls who were size 14+ squeezing into size 8 dresses.

The girls at the store were polite with me, but one of my friends said a couple employees gave her a hard time for picking out dresses for me (I had asked her to since she knew exactly what I was looking for, and you can only pick 5 at a time and have to change back to your clothes to go look).

Overall I'd say it's a great place to look at styles (especially if you're just beginning to look) but it's like being in a department store, not a wedding boutique. Also, bring your own petticoat and bustier cause the ones they have aren't flattering to the gowns at all.

My fiancee and I were really interested in this place - I emailed Roxy twice and left her a couple messages, and it took her three weeks to get back to me (on one occasion her message said she was in the office that day). I had heard from other people she can be hard to get ahold of, so we kept looking and found another place in the meantime.
