Weddings by Paulette

The dress my daughter picked out was so beautiful....she felt like a princess and everyone loved her gown. When we went for the initial sitting to pick the dress, they were so helpful, friendly, and had many styles to pick from. We chose our dress, head piece, petticoat, & hair beaded comb all at Paulette's. Our fittings were great and we had no problems at all. It was a wonderful experience.

Great selection, poor end result

Weddings by Paulette had a decent selection, and I was very impressed by the price of the dress. Customer service was decent overall. However, we had a dress emergency when I put my dress on the day of the wedding...the seamstress was supposed to put a button back in place and never did. Luckily, my mom stayed calm and was able to sew the button on right before the ceremony. Also, the dress had a trane that definitley had some wieght to it, and there was ony a 3-pt. bussel. At the reception, I was constantly picking up the back of the dress because the bussel was not holding. Eventually I ended up stepping on it while dancing, and it ripped the whole 1st layer of fabric in the back of the dress. I really wish I had been offered a stronger bussel and the seamstress had done her job.

I loved the wedding gown I found at this store. It was actually a bridesmaid dress which I purchased in white. The salesperson knew I was budget conscious, and selected this dress as an alternative to a much more expensive one that I couldn't bring myself to purchase. It turned out to be the best dress for me. I was quite comfortable working with the staff here. My only negative comment would be the atmosphere and lighting of the store- but I assume that is the case at many bridal stores which have been established for a long time. I just felt they could use some upgrades to make the place modern and sophisticated.

Our experience with Weddings by Paulette was nothing but excellent from start to finish. I had searched for a specific dress at many vendors who were very over-priced. While WbyP doesn't carry the designer, they were able to order the dress for me at a far more reasonable rate than other stores. The fittings ran smoothly and the attention they paid to how I felt in my dress made me feel like I was their only client. The alterations were beautiful and were top-notch. The service staff and alternations staff were nothing short of professional and very kind. I would highly recommend WbyP to anyone who is looking for a gorgeous gown and top-notch customer service!

Weddings by Paulette was wonderful! I went there to look for a wedding gown for my wedding. With my (now husband) in Iraq, and four kids to take care of at home, I was on a very tight wedding budget. I looked many places and did not find anything I liked that I could afford. When I went to Weddings by Paulette, I explained my situation and they showed me some other options in their store. After looking for only a short time in the store.. I fell in love with a beautiful dress that was actually a prom gown (in chocolate color in the store) but they ordered it in pearl for me. The dress was gorgeous! I recieved so many compliments on my dress and everybody thought that it was an actual wedding gown!

This bridal salon would not be reccommended to any bride who does not want added stress. They are very unorganized and expensive. My maid of honor's dress did not come in and it was only 2 weeks before the wedding before we found this out. And that was just the start...

This situation could have been a lot worse, but on the flip side, this was the most important day I was buying a dress for, and with that said it could have been a much better experience. They work great with you to get you to purchase the dress, but after it is purchased GET IT ALTERED ELSEWHERE! I love the dress, as for the alteration process I give them a F-. My mother and bridesmaids as well as myself was asked to make an appointment time and time again for alterations which when we would go back for another fitting, she only had more pins in it. The worst was she mixed up the bridesmaids dresses (still will not admit it, and they had to pay for the extra alterations). One bridesmaids gown was to be brought in an inch and another was to be taken out an inch. At their next fitting it was flipped the bridesmaid that needed it taken out, needed it left out again, and the bridesmaid that needed it needed it taken in again. What a coincidence?!?! After taking off numerous evenings from my second job since the alteration lady is on in on Thursday evenings, I was releived when she told me to make my appointement for my FINAL fitting. When I came back, it seemed nothing was done to my dress at all. Everything still needed sewn! I'm sorry ladies, I thought a final fitting means I could take it home that evening and get married that same night if wanted to, in the perfect dress, that still has pins and loose threads on it! I could go on and on about the things we overcame with this "business". We were still finding things wrong with one of the bridesmaids dresses on the day of the wedding. But its over now, and I don't feel like getting all worked up again. It turned out to be a beautiful day and thats whats important. My alterations, just for cups to be put in, and to bring up the hem....the most expensive I've ever paid....$311

My dress was a Maggies Sottero and very resonably priced. The alterations were another story!! Very expensive, I was told they would be $50 and they ended up being $300. The dress took forever as well. I ordered it in October and didn't have it until July. My bridesmaids dresses were not ordered until 2 months after the fitting, and if I had not called the store to check on their status they probably would have never been ordered.

I found my beautiful MoriLee gown here. It came in way before when they said it would and it was perfect. The staff is super friendly & knowledgeable as well. My only issue was with my seamstress. She put a one point bussle on my dress that broke before the reception even started. After countless stops to reattach safety pins I was pretty frustrated!

I purchased my bridesmaids' dresses here, and have no complaints, but I wasn't impressed either. I ordered them in April, and they arrived three weeks before my August wedding. The staff was not particularly friendly or helpful, and my dresses were all way to big when they came in. The dresses were gorgeous.

My dress was so amazing and the ladies at Weddings by Paulette made sure that all the fittings, shoes, jewelry, etc were taken care of for me and the seamstress there made the dress fit perfectly!! If you are looking for a unique dress, one outside of the "typical" wedding dress...go to Weddings by Paulette!

this store was great. i got my dress at a trunk show they had. the service was great.

great dresses and they were flexible with last minute alterations for out-of-town bridal party girls. the alterations were kinda pricey, though.

Dress was beautiful and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me to pick a dress that I normally would not even have tried on....they could tell by my body type that it would be a perfect fit. Alterations were excellent. My only problem was regarding price. I bought a dress off the rack and didn't think to ask for a discount. After speaking to many other brides, I realized that no one ever pays the new price for a dress that has been tried on by so many other women. I felt a little stupid and naive for not realizing this sooner, but it was the first shop I went into and I loved the dress so much, I never thought to price haggle. Still, my overall opinion of the shop is a positive one.

My girls and I all got our dresses from Paulette's. Originally, we were only going to order the BM dresses here (I'd found a Maggie Sottero gown I wanted, and had a price quote from NetBride.com that was within my budget), but the ladies at Paulette's agreed to match the NetBride.com price, so I ordered through them instead. I later learned my maid of honor had some issues with the ladies who worked there (comments were made about her weight during fittings - in the presence of my twiggy little sister, who was appalled), but everyone else, including myself, had no trouble. I lived in Virginia and had very few opportunities to travel to PA for fittings, but they worked around my schedule, going so far as to open an hour early one Sunday just so I could try the dress on and the seamstress could pin it for alterations. So extra marks for that, but minus marks for my MOH's experience.

They have a large variety of dresses to choose from plus more in catalogs. I chose a dress that was in a catalog that I had never tried on. I was extremely nervous but they were easy to work with and everything worked out great. I also chose all of my bridesmaids dresses from there. Only one of my bridesmaids had ordered their dress when the company was planning to discontinue the dress I had chosen. They quickly called me to let me know and we were able to get the rest of the orders in. The dress that I ended up choosing both for myself and my bridesmaids was less expensive here then at other places I had looked. They were very professional and I would recommend them!
