Would not recommend

by teatoadler

We ordered a dress on January 10th for my daugther's wedding on July 18th. Judy told us the dress would arrive in 12 weeks. My daughter felt a little uneasy because the owner was so disorganized and so would call the store from time to tome to check on the status. Judy never once offered to call the company but would always ask what date we ordered and would then say it will be here 12 weeks from then, April 10th. Well that date came and no dress so we called the store. We got a voice mail saying the dress would not arrive until between the 8th-15th of June. We panicked because that left barely a month to have fittings and alteration plus we couldn't even pick out a veil or shoes until we had the dress. My daughter immediately got on-line and found the exact dress at another store. We ordered it and received it in 4 days. I then called cancel my order and was then told "Oh, the dress will be here at the end of April". Now we had been given 3 different arrival dates and didn't trust what we were being told. I asked her assistant to please have Judy call me to discuss the matter and never heard back from her. I decided to dispute the charge on my credit card and sent them the information. I was shocked to find out that Judy lied to the credit card company about the whole matter and said she told us and we aggreed to a delivery date of May 29th. This date was never even mentioned in the conversations. So now the credit card company is charging me for the deposit and Judy now has my money and the dress.

I feel she is very dishonest.

• Pros: In town
• Cons: No customer service

Great Service and Huge Selection

by mntnhy

Today I went to pickup my wedding dress and try it on. I am so happy with the service I have been receiving from Judy (owner). She carries everything you need including hair, jewelry, ceremony and reception items, lingerie, bridesmaids dresses, mother dresses, etc. When you go in with your preconceived ideas, try to keep an open mind and listen because Judy really knows what works for different body types and skin tones.

• Pros: huge selection and owner's knowledge

Great Wedding dresses, better service

by EllenR6

As a bride I was looking at a manufacturers web site at gowns, and I found one I was interested in. The finder in the web page referred me to Paradise Creations in San Clemente. I went there and inquired about the dress I saw on the web site. They showed me my dress, and also, after a few questions about what I wanted in a wedding dress came up with several more dresses that met my criteria, but that I wouldn't necessarily have picked on my own. Well, I tried oneof these other dresses on and did I look great!!!! I decided then and there that I would buy this dress, and I'm so glad I did. You will see, once you go there ,rely on them and you cant go wrong.

• Pros: Great service, good knowledge of bridal design
• Cons: parking across the street.

Really nice collection of upscale wedding gowns

by sue93

Hello:

My wedding started out as a nice casual affair. My fiance and I went out and bought a nice casual gown for the day, and then my mother called. My mom, who lives in another state told me that she always wanted me to get married in a big formal way, not at all what my fiance and I had originally planned. So, I thought about it, and decided to listen to mom, a first . Then, I went to Paradise Creations, since my casual gown would not do for my now very formal wedding. I went in with no expectations, but, once there I was very impressed with the number and large selection of really nice wedding gowns. I picked out a gown , and took it home that day. The service was great, the price great, and , best of all, I could take my gown home that very day. Try this place you'll be glad you did.

• Pros: Selection of great looking wedding gowns
• Cons: none

great source for last minute wedding disasters

by mindy56

HI;

I just moved to Orange County. The other day, I came home to a horrifying discovery. My new puppy ate the bottom of my new unused wedding dress!!! First, I thought about doing something really bad to the dog. Then I cried. Then I called my Mom. More tears. Well, after talking with Mom decided NOT to punish the dog, and get myself a new dress.

I looked on the internet and found Paradise Creations. i went there and found several great looking dresses that fit me and were ready to wear. I'm glad to say I bought a dress that really makes me feel and look special.I was impressed with the large selection of dresses and you will be too!!!

• Pros: Lots of selection

Great collection of beautiful wedding gowns

by patn26

I have been shopping for a wedding gown and my friend Marcy told me about Paradise Creations. So I went to the store, in San Clemente and met the owner, Judy. I was well taken care of, I was amazed at the large number and kinds of wedding dresses they had there. Judy after some discussion showed me the dress of my dreams. If you're looking for a wedding dress this is the place to go. Good service, good prices, and beautiful gowns.
