After shopping around, I realized the same dress was available at other bridal boutiques for less. By the time I paid for the dress and the required alterations, I had spent over $7,000. I recommend future brides compare prices at multiple boutiques before making a purchase and ask about the expected cost of alterations upfront. It may save you a significant amount of money.

So many other shops give you a strict 90-minute window, pressure you to make a quick decision, and rush you out the door. Papers and Petals was a complete breath of fresh air. I specifically worked with the owner, Georgette, and one of their amazing consultants, Paige. They let me take my time, listened closely to everything I loved and didn't like about each dress, and used that exact feedback to pull options until they found my perfect dress. They were so patient, letting me retry favorites and go back and forth until I was 100% certain and so incredibly excited. They even let my appointment run over because they genuinely wanted to make sure I was confident and super happy with my decision. The exceptional service continued long after I said yes to the dress. Georgette's son and co-owner, Joseph, was wonderful to work with during my fittings. He is so flexible, accommodating, and keeps the whole shop running seamlessly. Every single person I interacted with during fittings and pickup was incredibly kind and helpful, and any concerns I had were solved on the spot. I absolutely loved my dress on my wedding day and am so happy. I would recommend any bride looking for "the one" to go here!

We flew in from New York, and planning from across the country could have been stressful -- but May made everything feel effortless. She was so organized and responsive, and during our consultation she completely understood my vision of feeling like a princess with a gown and veil that would flow beautifully down the staircase while still flattering my petite frame. The second dress she pulled was the one, and I instantly felt stunning. Highly recommend also reserving San Francisco City Hall for two hours on a Saturday if you can to avoid the crowds and everyone else also taking pictures in the prime locations. At Romance's City Hall package covered absolutely everything: dress, veil, tiara, professional makeup, and two photographers -- all at an incredible price. Not having to coordinate multiple vendors was such a relief. The photographers reached out ahead of time to go over details and on the day of made us feel completely comfortable, guiding us through poses and capturing breathtaking shots on the grand staircase. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, romantic, and unforgettable. I would 100% recommend At Romance to anyone wanting a true one-stop shop and a dream City Hall wedding experience.

I was in need of a Filipino Barong for an upcoming wedding I'm attending and decided I wanted to go…read morewith something traditional, put Filipino Barong into a Yelp search, and Pioneer was the first one and pretty much only spot close to me that sells Barongs. I tried purchasing one of Etsy, and that was a debacle and wasted money. It was a reminder for myself that shopping local (especially clothes) is the way to go because the care and time the owner spent with me to describe the different fabrics and sizing is just something you can't get in the online shopping space. The owner is a one woman show and she's the designer of all the Barongs in her store. We tried on a couple different ones, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Mine needed some alterations and she was kind enough to include it with the purchase. The place is cash only, so definitely be prepared with cash on hand. If you are looking for a spot to grab a Barong, this is a spot to check out.

Also, One of the earring I really wanted it was sold out and Lisa helped me to connect with a designer friend to design a custom earring for me. It turns out amazing! This place is actually Lisa's private apartment now but that doesn't change anything, the order can still be placed online and Lisa is always there to help.

Adonis sent me here…read more My graduation is coming up next month, and I've been wanting to wear something different that represents my culture. I have plenty of suits, but I specifically want to wear a Barong Tagalog. So when Adonis featured this place last year, I bookmarked it since their designs are specifically something that caught my attention. They have traditional designs, but they also have modern ones that incorporate the Philippine sun and the stars from the flag with a tribal flair. I came here on Easter Sunday, and the lovely saleslady was very helpful. She even asked how I found out about this place, so I replied that Adonis sent me. She immediately knew and responded, "Oh, I am Adonis...the vlogger" in a cute Filipino accent. She assisted me try out different Barongs and answered my many questions. All the Barongs are handmade in the Philippines and are exported here. The Barongs made from Pineapple or Piña threads are more expensive, while some are made from silk materials. Each design is expertly and intricately embroidered by artisans from Lumban, Laguna in the Philippines. The craftmanship is exceptionally well done. The different designs are quite impressive, and they are also available in different colors. In the past, most Barongs came in either white, cream or beige tones. Nowadays, it comes in different colorful hues, two-tone and even black. I almost chose the black-colored one, but I stuck with the traditional color with the same design. I still might get it just so I have two options. I've never had a Barong before, so this is my first purchase. I do have to mention that Philippines sizes are often different from U.S. sizes so you will have to adjust your expectations. Typically speaking, you might have to get an item two sizes bigger than your usual size. Having said that, Barongs are usually worn loosely due to the hotter climate in Philippines and the unfortunate history from the time of the Spanish occupation that Barongs must be made of see-through materials to prevent the wearer from concealing blades such as Bolos, Kris, Ginunting, Balisong and Karambit. Hey, I have to admit that we do love our blades and I even have an heirloom Bolo used during WWII passed down to me. This place also offers something for the ladies and kids (boys and girls). In fact, they have an abundant selection of gowns, Filipinianas and accessories. If you're looking for something traditional or with a modern twist, they got both covered. They also take special orders for a better fit. And the service was top notch. She was so accommodating that she even let our dogs wait inside the store since it was a warm day that day. I will definitely be back again to get another Barong or another accessory. Plus, the prices are reasonable especially for the quality of work they produce. Some are absolute masterpieces. I can't wait to wear this Barong and will do so with pride as I complete another milestone on this journey of life.
