HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I need some major help!! My dress is at both, as well as bridesmaids.. my dress is $100 more for the gown alone at B.S., Paradise has gown cheaper, bridesmaids about the same but an extra 10% off and alterations are cheaper... I do feel a bit more comfortable at B.S... what would you guys do???? Thanks!

I got my gown and bridesmaid dresses at Bridal Suite in Centereach and highly reccomend them. I deal with Debbie and she has been great! My wedding is in three weeks and all the gowns came in on time and mine even early. We have had a pleasant experience with them. I have heard negative about Paradise Bridals. I went there when I was first looking, but had a bad experience there 10 years ago with my brothers wedding. I would say Bridal Suite DEFINETELY!!

I've been dealing with Bridal Suite of Centereach for my girls dresses, and they've been great. There was some miscommunication, but that's because of us being long distance, and new employees. But I've heard nothing but great things about them. I have heard some negatives things about Paradise Bridals. Also, when I went there, the service was horrible. Very rude, etc. Go with Bridal Suite of Centereach!

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I got my dress at Paradise Bridals and had no problems. I ordered a dress that they didn't carry in the store. They beat the lowest price I found it for and have a reasonable cap on alterations.

Rose did my alterations and she was awesome.

Donna was my sales woman and she was a complete doll.

The only problem I had was with making fitting appointments. The women who do those could be improved. Just always double-check they've got you in the book.

We ordered our BM dresses online, but did have everyone measured at Paradise after spending hours trying on dresses there.

I got my gown and BM dresses at Paradise. I haven't had any problems with them yet. My dresses came in but I'm taking them somewhere else to be altered.

Only thing left I have is my veil which they say will be in 8/15...so far they've been accurate on their delivery dates...

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I got my gown and the bridesmaid gowns at Bridal Suite of Centereach and would also highly recommend them. Debbie is great!

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I also got my dress and the girls dresses at BS of Centereach. I had no problems, the dresses are in but none of us have gone yet to be fitted. A month and that is where we will be!

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I would not recommend either place. Paradise Bridal screwed up my mother's dress, twice, and Centereach bridal ordered the wrong size dress for my mom and told her it was her mistake. Very unprofessional. I recommend Fantasia Bridal in Rocky Point...

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

My daughter got her BM's dresses at Paradise Bridal, and they really screwed up!!! EVERY dress had to have serious alterations. The sizes, and their insistence that they are right about the size you are, are way off. One BM had to spend over $100 to have her size 16 dress altered to fit her size 8 body. Unbelieveable. So, girls, proceed with caution into Paradise.

Re: HELP GURLS!! Paradise Bridals or Bridal Suite Centereach??

I got my dress at Paradise and like LisaT - they gave me a great price for a dress that they didn't even have in the style and I had no problems. Believe me, they had to take the dress in a lot. But what I would suggest is to tell BS that you found that dress for $100 cheaper at Paradise and you would like to deal with them (if that's what you prefer). Most likely they will match it - or lose a customer!
Good Luck!
