I had a nightmare of a time trying to find barrettes that matched closely with my bridal comb. I first tried David's Bridal, where they constantly listed the barrettes I was looking for as "in stock" even though they never were. Fed up with David's, I started searcing on the internet for similar styles. I was able to find the exact same barrette on a different website, but it turns out that they were getting their stock directly from David's, so they didn't have any available either.

So I grudgingly started searching for different styles. I found a really pretty barrette on a different bridal jewelry website, but it was massively overpriced ($45 or so for one teeny-tiny barrette, and I was looking to order three!) so I had just about given up. Then I found the exact same barrette on the White Aisle website for $15. What a godsend.

I quickly ordered 3 (hoping that they were actually in stock) and much to my delight they were in my hands a few days later, even with standard shipping. The quality was great, and I have no complaints at all.

A few weeks later, I was on the hunt for a bridal bracelet, and was having a hard time finding a cheap one that didn't LOOK cheap as well. Once again I gave White Aisle a shot, and the first bracelet I saw in their bracelet section was the perfect one for me. It was delicate, ornate, and had blue and purple crystals all over it, which is PERFECT because my dress is a light purplish-blue! So I ordered it, and once more I had it in my hands barely a few days later. It looks amazing, and not at all as cheap as it was ($25).

My only complaint is that every bracelet on the site is only available in size 6.5" and up. Unfortunately, my tiny wrists are barely 5.5", so even with some crafty finagling the bracelet is still a bit large on me. It's not White Aisle's fault, they clearly list the size in the item description, I would just appreciate a little more variety in sizing.

Also, one of the crystals on the bracelet popped off while I was trying to see how it fit. I just glued it back on and it looks good as new. I'm not sure if it was never properly glued in place the first time, or if my "finagling" was a bit too much for it. I'm actually going to err on the side of my roughly handling it causing it to fall out, because I was seriously messing around with this bracelet in a way I doubt most brides will (Taking apart the chain, adding my own clasps, and then finally removing all fasteners and deciding to tie it on with a ribbon instead.) I doubt it would have fallen out if I had just fastened it on like it was supposed to.

All in all I would recommend White Aisle to anyone looking for inexpensive bridal jewelry that doesn't look tacky or cheap. I have no experience ordering their paper products or other accessories, so I cannot rate them on those.

I ordered my earring and necklace set from Anna Bellagio. The prices were great, and my items arrived exactly when I expected. The quality of the necklace and earrings themselves was really good. On one of the pierced-closure earrings I can see a bit of the glue behind a rhinestone, but it's a small defect that I doubt anyone would notice.

Unfortunately, due to the way the earrings were described on the website, I had been expecting closures for both pierced and non-pierced ears. At the time, I thought my ear piercings had long since closed, and was planning on using the non-pierced ear closures. The earrings arrived with only pierced-ear closures. I wrote a quick email to customer service explaining the issue, and was promised a set of non-pierced closures. I was also assured that the description on the website would be updated so other customers won't be confused in the future.

When I received the replacements, they were actually a whole new set of earrings. (Due to the way the closures were attached to the earrings, I don't think it was possible to just send a new closure type, so I was given an entire new set of earrings.) And, as luck would have it, it turns out my "closed" ear piercings are actually still open, so I could use the original pair afterall. I offered to return the non-pierced closure earrings, but customer service said I could keep them. I really appreciated that.

Overall, I had a great experience with Anna Bellagio and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. I only gave them 4 out of 5 stars, however, because on subsequent visits to the website I noticed that the item description for the earrings has not been updated, and it's possible that other people will be confused about the closure types for that set in the future. Aside from that, I have no complaints.
