Paris Connection

It was the store model but it fit me like a glove! However, I had another appointment at a different bridal salon and had to go or I would be charged for not. So I went and tried on some more dresses and thought I really loved one of them I tried on. Instead of waiting a day to decide I bought it. That night I went home and cried because I knew in my heart I should of bought the Justin Alexander gown instead!! Well a week later I found out I was pregnant, and we still wanted to have our wedding in June but because of the dress I bought their was no way it would fit a 6 month belly bump. So I called the bridal shop and begged them to let me cancel that dress and to purchase a ball gown instead. Well, they wouldn’t let me cancel so I had to buy that dress and a different one to fit me at my wedding with my sweet little bump. Of course a ball gown was never an option for a dress I wanted but at this point I was just thankful I had a healthy baby girl growing inside me as this was my rainbow baby. So April came around and Covid hit and my bridal shower and wedding had to be canceled. At this point you can only see my frustration. I now had two wedding dresses that I did not want to wear at my wedding if I wasn’t going to be getting married pregnant. I hate that I bought two dresses that I felt in my heart that I wasn’t going to wear. I’m far from a high maintenance person or spoiled, and when I had told people my feelings they made me feel that way and told me to settle with one of the dresses. But for months I couldn’t get the JA dress out of my head and I kept going back to pictures and videos of it and just loved everything about it including my face in it! Well November came around and I was shopping by the bridal place I tried the JA dress on so I went in, and asked if they still had it. Unfortunately they had just sold it and to make matters worst told me it had been discontinued. I refused to give up! I looked on Instagram and Facebook for hashtags of JA and emailed bridal places that carried JA. I even emailed JA and they had sent me all the places who had purchase that dress for a model dress in store. I then emailed all the places in California, Nevada, Texas, and just surrounding states. I had received many emails back from places that either had a size 12-14 or didn’t have it at all. But when I received an email from Marie at Paris Connections. Everything changed. She contacted JA and after a weeks wait was able to get the dress brought back into production to be made for me!! It was a huge Hail Mary but Marie did it! She went above and beyond to make my dreams come true of wearing the most beautiful dress on my wedding day next September! God truly blessed me by putting this amazing women in my life! Thank you so much Marie!

down, I inquired to the design team of Justin Alexander and was told the dress of my dreams was discontinued. Distraught, they referred me to a few retailers, and all but one of them wouldn’t work with me. After hearing my tale over the phone, Marie miraculously found the last one, and graciously agreed to work with me. Through the last couple of months of finding this dress and organizing a trip to come and try it on, Marie has been nothing less than accommodating and cordial. Once at her shop, her and her seamstress, Ludamila, worked with me to make this perfect dress into a reality. 5 stars is not enough to recommend for Paris Connection Bridal and Marie. Her customer first approach ensures that every bride leaves incandescently happy and her commitment to finding every bride their perfect dress is unparalleled. You should look no further for your bridal gown. Marie will take care of you and help make your big day as perfect as can be. She is the best!

arriving at Paris Connection, and I can’t tell you what a relief it was finding a boutique store and owner like Marie. The hug she gave me, my mom and my sister immediately made us feel right at home. Right off the bat, I noticed that there was only one fitting room, and that I had the entire shop to myself. For the first time that day, after several other poor wedding dress shop experiences prior, I actually felt important and special, like a bride should when trying on the most important dress she will ever buy. When we told her what I was looking for, she grabbed every single dress she could think of that even remotely fit the description and put it in the fitting room. I never felt like I was in a time slot, that I could only try on so many dresses, that I would make her feel bad if I didn’t like it, etc. because Marie felt like family from the moment we walked into her shop. After I knew I found the dress I wanted to buy but felt to anxious about committing, she let us put the dress on hold with a deposit, one that if we didn’t end up buying the dress could be used towards anything in her shop (jewelry, veils, petticoats etc.) so I never felt pressured. Less than a week later, I showed up at her store after hours on special request so I could try it on again. Not only did Marie stay late for me, she let me try the dress on and hang out in it until I finally bit the bullet and bought it. After the purchase, Marie kept me in the loop about the delivery of my dress constantly. When it arrived, she was extremely flexible in scheduling all of my alteration appointments. Every Time I knew I would get to go into Paris Connection I was absolutely elated, and not just because I was going to try my dress on but because I would get to hang out with Marie. She is fabulous, her collection is gorgeous, and I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world on my wedding day in her dress!
