Re: Paradise Bridals - Patchogue
my sil got her dress there and had no issues. We had some prob with the alterations on the bm dresses but nothing too bad. so on the recomendation of my sil I ordered my dress from there in march. I still havent gotten the call its in. so i am going to call them to check the staus. Also if you go for bm dresses check EVERYTHING they almost ordered the wrong color for my girls. They have a lot of dresses and had good prices. I got my dress and veil for under $1000. hope this helps.

They have a great selection, but I warn you. They take the tags off their dresses and they have a HUGE markup in price. Do your research, get a quote from NetBride and use it to bargain with them. The dress I was considering was $400 less on NetBride.

Yeah the tag ripping made me For one thing, I knew which Maggies I wanted to try on, I had their names- but the saleslady had no idea which gowns I was looking for because all of their Maggies were numbered- ridiculous!!
But otherwise, nice people!!!

My mom got her gown there for my wedding. They did a horrible job with alterations. the skirt kept turning on her all day. she had to keep pulling up the top. And they squeezed her in 2 days before my wedding.

Re: Paradise Bridals - Patchogue
Actually, it's funny you should say this about the 'tag ripping' ...... I have a longgggg story, here it goes....... Basically I saw a dress that I reallyyyy liked at Carmela's in Huntington...... she said that she made the dress and that its one of a kind... blah, blah, blah.... so.... after going gown shopping ALOT, I never found it again, so I believed her........UNTIL I went to Paradise bridal, saw the dress for HALF THE PRICE!!!!!!.... but still, they will not tell me who the manufacturer is (saying that there are so many and they wouldn't possibly know, however once I order it they can tell me.....) and the tag was ripped out.....!!!!! This is so frustrating... I live on the Queens/Nassau border and Patchogue is soooo far out... if I knew who made the dress I could order it from somewhere alot closer and even check around for lower prices.!!!! It's so frustrating.......
I never would have believed that the wedding business was so shady......

What does the dress look like? Maybe one of us could help you figure out the designer.

I bought my dress there! They were a big help-if you work with anyone work with Marge-we worked with 2 different ladies and the other one seemed like she had better things to do! Also-definitely haggle on the price if you have seen it cheaper somewhere else! We saw the dress ALOT cheaper then they had it for and they dropped it!!

Re: Paradise Bridals - Patchogue
They seemed very nice there. I tried on my dress there but did not buy it from there. I got it from Phyllis at Bridal Elegance for $400 bucks cheaper.
I know what you mean about the dresses and numbering them, I had that issue with them but good thing I know my dresses and the dress I wanted and tried on in the store I saw it in Bridal Guide it was just in there one day and I search all over online for this dress, so glad I found it. That was the dress!!!
I can't believe it worked.... and i don't have a clue how i did it ! I hope you girls can help me....

My MatOH's MOH got her dress there, and it came out really nice. The alterations were expensive though for a BM dress

The yellow blocking you from the neck up makes me giggle But I totally respect why you did it! I'd never show my face either when I post myself in my dress!!
Man I wish I woulda known I coulda taken a pic at Paradise...although the dress I loved there wasn't the one I picked anyway.
Beautiful dress!!!

I bought my gown there from Stephanie and she was great! I loved how I was able to take pics there- unlike some of the other places. I already printed out a quote for my bridesmaid dresses, and I'm going to go there on Saturday and try to haggle with them a little bit!!

Re: Paradise Bridals - Patchogue
I went there with my best friend when she was getting married and was NOT impressed...I was pulling the dresses and doing the work while the attendant watched me!! I remember it smelling funky in there too
