Georgette and her team saved my wedding dress!I ordered my dream wedding dress from a different store that ordered my dress two sizes too small and then ruined it with an extremely poor tailoring job. Three months before my wedding, my mom reached out to Georgette for advice and Georgette became my absolute angel! She went above and beyond to help me navigate the difficult situation with my credit card after the original store refused to refund my money.Given Georgette’s experiences and expertise with the Elysee/Enzoani dress designer, she was able to expedite an order for my original dream dress in the correct size, began alterations within a week, and then worked with my busy schedule over subsequent appointments to make sure the dress fit perfectly in all the right places. They even tailored my veil so it matched perfectly with my dress. Everything was pressed and beautiful for the day of my wedding. Their tailor Marie is professional, patient, and very meticulous. Their work is such high quality, all-inclusive, and well worth the price! My dress fit perfectly, and I felt so beautiful and so comfortable! Without the Papers and Petals bridal team, I would not have been able to wear my dream wedding dress and feel as beautiful as I did. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust to help navigate the confusing and expensive wedding dress industry.

The angels at Papers & Petals quite literally SAVED my wedding day. When my original wedding gown arrived absolutely ruined and unwearable the night before my wedding (yes, you read that right), it seemed my worst nightmare had come true. Thankfully, Georgette responded to my family's late-night cry for help via email and opened the shop early on the morning of my wedding just so I could find a new gown and veil. She was so patient and listened to exactly what I was looking for, suggesting only dresses that were within my budget and tastes. She ended up recommending a gown that honestly surprised me. I never would have looked at it twice on the hanger, but when I put it on, I never wanted to take it off (I still wish I could wear it all the time). Not only that, but her incredible team managed to get it altered and add a bustle all within just hours to ensure that I was ready for the ceremony that afternoon. Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life; when I was panicking without a wedding gown the night before, I was afraid it would turn into one of the worst. But now, I can look back on that beautiful day and remember the kindness and compassion that I received in a time of urgent need, and it makes it all the more special. I can't thank these amazing folks enough.

Papers & Petals was actually not on my go to list for wedding dress shopping, but since I was around the area, I decided to check it out. Georgette, you are my fairy godmother!! thank you so much for choosing such a beautiful dress that i would have never chose for myself. I came in with an open mind not knowing exactly what I wanted, but Georgette asked me a few questions and had a vision after i answered her. At first, i was a bit hesitant because the dress she chose was something i would have never chose to try on. But i tried it on anyway...thinking it would be just for fun! And let me tell you, i was in love!! My dress was perfect for me. I was in denial because it was the first dress i tried on, but every other dress i tried was not up to par. It was a one and done deal for me and i couldn't believe it. Georgette worked her magic and got my dress ready in such short notice :) I definitely recommend soon to be brides to try out Papers & Petals!

Georgette and her team are absolutely amazing. You get what you pay for. Service, expertise, quality and a genuine customer care. People like Georgette are hard to come by, and when they do hold them near to your hearts.Less than a week from my wedding date Georgette and her team was able to pull off incredible alterations that Janene’s Bridal couldn’t even do to what they claimed was the fabric of the wedding dress. Georgette and her team were able to create the American bustle and make last minute alterations that made an incredible difference on my wedding day.Beyond grateful to have crossed paths with Georgette and her team!

Almost ruined my maid of honor dress and made me uncomfortable at every visit. Was 6w postpartum and she wanted me to measure in June for end of October wedding. Charged me $275 for a hem, letting dress out, and making straps detachable - dress was $185. When I went for pickup the detachable straps were a disaster, causing the inside of the dress to flip out, and dress was let out too far. At second round pickup the dress was too long and they started cutting the fabric while it was on me, without pinning it, or explaining what they were doing. Ultimately I rushed this to my local tailor (Pruneyard Tailors) and they fixed it and turned it around overnight.

My experience with Georgette was very positive. I felt that she was very knowledgeable and gave great feedback. Out of all the boutiques I had gone to, she took the most time to show me different style of dresses as a mother of the bride. I couldn't be happier with the dress that I picked in with the alterations that were done. The appointments were always reliable and Georgia was very flexible with getting me in when I wanted to come. The only thing I would add is that you have to go to a place like this and expect to spend A LOT of money. If you are on a budget this place may not be suitable. However, you get what you pay for. Alterations were expensive. Overall, very happy with my experience!!!

This review is for the owner. I came to my appointment and walk in greeted with hello" For some reasons I did not make a decision to buy one. The owner she made me so very uncomfortable, I cannot pick a style what I want inside the Gallery, I feel like I have a restriction to choose what I want for a style, she's the one who grab a dress for me that not even my style, and she force myself to try it on which is no-no, and keep saying " OH! THAT'S VERY NICE " even though it's not? Then I realized reason why she give me those ugly dresses to tried on coz I guess those dresses she needs to get rid of them that been out of style and it's there for over 10 yrs and no one's buying. And it's a left over dresses. And yeah! She ain't with a wrong person that I'm a very classy and picky person and not no wearing those ugly dresses. On behalf probably she look at me that I'm ignorant doesn't know nothing about dresses that I was a Specialist Consultant at DAVIDS BRIDAL. In Colma Ca. So this place we don't have no freedom to shop around and unable to choose what we want in the Gallery. Am very disappointed and I wasted my time and she waste her time also for nothing. All she need to do to allow people to look around and give them a chance to choose.

Georgette is great! We had alterations on a wedding dress and 2 mother of the bride dresses. Expert alterations, professional but fun, met all out needs. Highly recommended!

If you are wedding dress shopping for the first time and this is the first place you look, you may see the $50 appointment fee and think "yeah, this is normal". But please know that there are tons of wedding dress stores nearby that have appointments for FREE! I wish I'd known that instead of wasting $50 at a store where I didn't end up buying my dress

Georgette is amazing!!! I came in one month before my wedding in a panic, realizing I hated my original dress and needed a new one! She worked with me and we found one that day! Did alterations within a week!! It was a miracle! I felt so great on my wedding day in the perfect dress thanks to Georgette! Thank you!!!

Georgette and team are absolutely incredible! The moment I found my dress at Papers & Petals was so special. As a Covid Bride, when we had to move our wedding date, Georgette was incredibly understanding with moving alterations appointments around and making sure my dress was steamed and ready to go for our day! Would highly recommend Papers & Petals!

We can't begin to say enough wonderful things about our experience with Georgette and her staff. Georgette was professional, kind, gracious and patient. After many fittings, alterations, and weddings rescheduled due to the virus, my daughter had the dress of her dreams. She was even able to retrofit my wedding veil from 40 years ago and make it work with her dress! Always made to feel special and never felt rushed to make a decision. Wonderful experience!!

Georgette and her team are incredible! Due to COVID, our wedding plans changed and I was lucky that Georgette was able to alter both my original wedding gown (sent from Kleinfeld) and a white silk jumpsuit. The jumpsuit was altered beautifully and turned around within two weeks! I originally looked to only get the suit hemmed, but Georgette's team took in the sides as well and it looks as if the jumpsuit was custom made for me. My dress took a little longer (mostly because it wasn't a rush, I won't be wearing it until *hopefully* next year) but, like the jumpsuit, fits perfectly. Additionally, the cost of altering the dress here was less expensive than I was quoted at Kleinfeld. If I need any more wedding-related alterations, I will definitely return. I highly recommend Papers & Petals!!!
