Pearl`s Place

Could you please share any experiences you have had in ordering from Pearl`s Place? I may get a Maggie Sottero from them. Thanks!

Hi Cathy, I read your other posts I got my dress from Pearls. The email response was pretty fast and the girl on the phone might not have been the friendliest but I was relieved to see their names listed as authorized vendors on the Maggie Sottero website. The cheapest legitimate quote I received for my dress was $830, they saved me over $100 and they didn`t make me pay for the whole thing all at once. I would recommend them.

I, too, am looking at buying my Maggie dress at Pearl`s- It is nerve racking to think of ordering a dress through the mail and am thinking on all the things that could go wrong- they offered $680 for the Veronica (the boutique where I tried it on offered $1150 and houseofbrides.com offered $750- then I found that bestbuybridal offered it for $610, but is not listed as an official Maggie dealer. . .hmmmm)
Please let me know how the suspicions turn out!

I wanted to send out a warning to all brides considering purchasing a dress from Pearl`s Place in Louisiana. I purchased my wedding gown from them and had a horrible experience!

When I order the dress from Pearl`s I specifically ordered my wedding dress with blue embroidered flowers, the only way I had ever seen the dress (in ads & stores). To my horror 4 months later when the dress arrived it had white flowers. I immediately called them, and the arrogant/rude manager and sales person (who took the order) said it was my fault that the dress had been ordered with white flowers because I didn`t ask for blue. So even though when I requested the price on the blue flowered dress, and specifically ordered the blue flowered dress - they had the nerve to say it was my fault! The sales person said that "she had never made a mistake". (Which I find amazing that a human that perfect exists.) The only option they gave me was to place a rush order on a new dress with the blue, but I would then have to pay for 2 dresses - isn`t that kind of them.

So to everyone out there considering Pearl`s realize that there is a huge risk and be careful! I spent days crying over their mistake and angry at their inability to take responsibility for their error.

My daughter and I just ordered her wedding dress by Demetrios and gave Pearls Place the style number and collection style. She received her dress 2 days ago and it is beautiful with no imperfections. I will consider us lucky!!
