Heavenly Accents

For those curious no I have not yet received my dress.

Krista,

There do not seem to be a lot of happy customers with Aubrey/Everlastings/Heavenly Accents. When you look at how many postings here are negative, I would think if I were personally happy with her service, I would come to her defense and post a positive experience. The really scary thing other than losing one`s money is that you can be sure she is still out there scamming people right now. She is just using a different name. I am AMAZED when I still see people posting here asking "what anyone thinks of Heavenly Accents". One would almost have to live on the moon to have never heard of this scam artist.

Just wanted to let people know that I did not receive my gown, but I did receive a FULL refund. According to Melody she is still going to try and get my gown and ship it to me and then I would make payment. We`ll see what happens. I`m lucky enough to have time before my May 2005 wedding.

Concerned,

Why would you feel comfortable giving your credit card number to a known scam artist? There`s no telling what she`ll do with a credit card number, name and expiration date. I`d rather pay by money order and take my chances. At least that way, even if you never receive your merchandices, at least a known scam artist won`t have your credit card number. Did you know the more people have your credit card #, the more likely you will be victim of identity theft? When it happens, because you purchase everything with it, trying to figure out who abused it is that much more difficult. I know. I wish I had not used mine so much. As for Ms. Aubrey, good luck waiting on your items.

I was recently contacted by someone at "Elegant Creations" who said she could order me an $1100 Oleg Cassini dress directly from Oleg Cassini and sell it to me with the matching veil and shoes for $650. I checked with a few other bridal shops and confirmed that only Davids Bridal can order from Oleg Cassini. Watch out for this lady!

Anonymous GET YOUR MONEY BACK!! You are probably getting all the same excuses that I got and the dress was never to be received. Cut your loses and get the gown somewhere else!!

AnnaMarie, just wanted to let you know that I did not give my credit card number to Melody personnaly I used PayPal so she never knew the number.

OMG,

This lady is disgusting. Now she is selling replicated gowns as authentics. She will stop at nothing. Anyone who hasn`t heard heard of this poor excuse of a lady by now must live on the moon!

Finally! I real government agency has posted information about her!! Maybe there will be some justice after all! But I see from other postings that she has other phone numbers! How ironic! I would just reiterate to everyone, MELODY IS A SCAM ARTIST. If you order from her you are doing so at your own risk, and at the risk of ruining your special day! For those that claim that they had received merchandise and was delighted with the sales and service, you are trully blessed or you are Melody again posting positive notes about yourself!

It looks like Melody is at it again. You guys might want to check out the fairy tail weddings that has signed up and is posting. Click on the name it will tell you Melody in MD! How many of you think it is the same person? I sure do!

Lisa
You should contact and or include partypop.com as a defendant for not making this a safe place for brides to be since they are suppose to enforce the rules and they have obviously have let this woman run rampant scamming everyone on this site! I would conact them to see what they knwo and or can do to help ou this woman out of buiness and behind bars!!!

Fairytale Weddings & MORE is the new company name Melody Rowe/Reed/Wade is using.

Melody,
You maybe a honest business person but you are not a TRUE bridal shop since you do not carry an samples like TRUE bridla stores. This means you are a DBS dealer who doesnt buy gowns directly from the manufactures but thru a 3rd party which has caused many prblems form many brides through out the country. NO DESIGNER sells to a no-stocking retailer. DBS, whci is based out of MD has people like you set up so that claim to offer the brides a great deal but after they get the gown, after the shipping, alterations, steaming/pressing, sometimes the savings arent really there. But to each there own.
There are many shops that sell online and discount the gowns without the full services that the full service shops offer. If you a bride with a budget, this works for you and if your a bride who wants the full service, then you go into the shop for this.
So if your not a "stocking" retailer, It makes us wonder who you really are since this MELODY has changed her business name so many times using different addresses, telephone numbers, everything just so she wont get caught. I do not know how you are going to prove to us that your not this MELODY - untill this person is behind bars!

I had the exact same problems with her. She kept PROMISING my dress was on the way, all the way up to three weeks before the wedding. I believed her - I have no idea why. So then she calls and tells me that she can`t get me the dress and sends me my refund. I had waited 4 months for her - all wasted time. In the end, I had to settle for a dress I didn`t like as much. Huge disapointment. I got the back-up dress from Pearls Place with absolutely no problems. This was all to save me, what, a hundred bucks? Never again. Beware of Melody or anyone from Maryland who sounds fishy - that`s probably Melody under disguise.

So why isnt PARTYPOP.com pulling all her stores off this site if it has been proven that she is a scammer?!
WHy isnt partypop stepping up to the plate and making htis site safe?? WHY WHY?!!!

I would like more info about this person since we have many complaints here in my office. Please forward any information to my office.
Thank you/

Janice, what office? Who are you with? Please send and email or a link
