After reading reviews about Pearls Place I was very skeptical but, I was a bride on a budget. If it had not been the first shop I was seriously looking at I wouldn't have been excited at all. When my mom and I walked in we were blown away by the selection. Gowns lined the walls from the front of the store to the back. We browsed for about 5 minutes awkwardly wondering if we should tell someone we were there. It was a weekday afternoon so it was not overly crowded. I was asked by a nice guy if we had signed in yet, he showed me to the book and left me standing there wondering what to do next. That made me uneasy but we browsed the bridesmaid dresses in that section. Within 5 minutes a nice lady (I've forgotten her name) asked if I had been helped/signed in and crossed my name off the list and began asking what I was looking for in a dress. I gave her a VERY broad idea because I was clueless and she immediately went to work. She pulled dress after dress and helped me try them on. After each dress she would ask what I did and didn't like about it and then go pull more to help me find my dream dress. The prices were great for such beautiful dresses. We must've tried on at least 10-15 dresses before we finally called it a day. I never once felt rushed by her and she even dimmed the lights (in the whole store which I'm sure was annoying for everyone else haha) to show what it'd look like in a more intimate setting (like during the ceremony..). I had full intentions on returning until I found THE dress at another shop the very next day. I am looking into returning to them for bridesmaid dresses though because their prices really are fantastic.
Pros: Large selection, nice one-on-one staff
Cons: Customer's left wondering what to do next
