Worst experience ever. When my husband and I went in to rent our suits for our wedding, we tried to…read moreschedule pick up for a week before. She insisted that we only get them two days prior. When it arrived, it was a totally different style, fabric and was WAY TOO big and boxy. I looked like I was ready to be part of the zoot suit riots. What's worse is that she didn't seem to care about how distressed I was. She kept on saying, "but your mother in laws dress looks great!" I am literally one of the grooms and she was trying to gaslight me into accepting it as is. Do not rent suits from her, she doesn't care about the quality. The dresses are fine, I guess.

I was in need of a professional wardrobe after working from home the last few years. I set up an appointment with a stylist online and she called to ask what I was looking for, my sizes, color preferences etc. I was very specific- I needed an interview suit for my conservative industry, as well as day to day office pieces and shoes. I also said I was open to jewelry (costume - Nordstrom is one of the best stores for costume jewelry that is still high quality IMO). We set an appt and I cane in and she had reserved a large fitting room and had it filled with suits and separates. Everything in row sizes (I'm a 4 or a 6 based on the designer). Nice job of bringing in both high end and more reasonable prices. No shoes, no jewelry, no outfit suggestions. That was the "style" part I really wanted. Basically for a free service it's a nice time saver to have clothes pulled and ready for you to try on. But that's it. I was prepared to spend a lot of money because I hadn't shopped much in a long time and I ended up with a single suit, a blouse, and a random t shirt I later texted the same stylist to ask if she could pull some options for an upcoming wedding I had to go to. Never heard back.

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!

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.
