Papers and Petals Bridal

Papers and Petals was the fourth and final store I visited looking for my wedding dress and our experience here was the perfect ending for my search! I booked an appointment last minute and I'm so lucky I got to work with Melinda! She was attentive, knowledgeable, relatable, and set such a comfortable, fun vibe! Melinda really listened to my concerns and things I was looking for in a dress. She was also very helpful in telling us what could be altered and reassuring any doubts or hesitations I had. I'm so happy I said yes to my dress here! (Even more excited that I picked a Randy dress!!!) The store itself is very clean, elegant, and refreshing. I wish I had come here in the first place!

When my dress wasn’t quite perfect, Georgette and her team altered it to make it one of a kind. Beautiful selection and fabulous alterations.

Georgette and her team were phenomenal! Besides just finding me a perfect, absolute stunning wedding dress, she puts care and love into the experience. Unfortunately, I was a COVID bride and had to reschedule my wedding four times. Every time Georgette worked to ensure my dress was ready and adjust any fittings as needed. She also checked in on me multiple times throughout the process with encouraging messages and thoughts. She had an amazing number of dresses to select from and a fantastic seamstress to make any alternations or modifications. I would highly recommend Paper and Petals to any and every future bride!

My experience with the staff at Papers and Petals and specifically Georgette was nothing short of that Fairy Godmother experience from Cinderella. This shop was my 4th shop on my journey to find "The One". My first few bridal shop experiences being very disappointing, and I was mentally preparing to make compromises as it seamed what I was looking for did not exist. First, I was having trouble finding sample sizes in my size (bridal 20, street 16). Other shops just don't carry "plus size" sample dresses. I called the store to set my appointment and Georgette reassured me that they have dresses for evey beautiful body! We arrive and I tell her my laundry list of 'wants'. (Drop waist, large lace design, bling detail, high illusion neck, sleeveless, with a killer train) The first one she pulled for me was a strapless sweetheart dress and I let out a mental sigh... right out the gate this didn't hit the 'high neck' look I was going for. She showed me that the dress came with this small cape for church weddings... I was un-impresed. Then she explained. She could make me any type of dress I wanted. I didn't have to compromise. She could use the cape fabric and build me the high neck dress of my dreams. The dress itself was a Justin Alexander drop waist, nude over ivory. I felt beautiful and comfortable. The lace was perfect and the train was To. Die. For. I tried on others but I didn't get that same feeling. I left that day with tears in my eyes and ordered that first dress and a beautiful cathedral length veil. 7 months later the dress arrives. I get a phone call and schedule my first alterations appointment (first picture). The length needed to be shortened and it needed to be taken in. Still nervous but I trusted Georgette. Overall it took 3 alterations appointments (really only two, I came in for a third appt. to make sure sizing was just right). I got so many compliments my guests coming up to me and genuinely saying my dress was beautiful and I looked amazing! My (now) husband was blown away! There was nothing about my dress I would change. Nothing. It was perfect. Thank you Georgette for making me feel beautiful and comfortable. Thank you for designing my dream dress. Thank you for being my Fairy Godmother!
