Letters received from Happy Brides...

 

 

C, Thank you so much for transforming my wedding dress.  When no one else thought it could be done in just a few days, you were able to practically remake a dress that was ordered at least 2 sized too big.  It turned out amazing and I have you to thank.  I attached a photo from the wedding.

Hello, C -

 

I hope this email finds you busy helping other brides look beautiful in the dress they have chosen for their special day.  You most certainly did that for my daughter, Stephanie.I shall have to call Debbie and let her know what a wonderful job you did on Steph's dress and the veil you made for her from her Grandmother's lace.  Except for us only her father has seen her in her dress and veil.  He was deeply touched at the way you enhanced his mother's lace to show off its beauty. 

 

March 28th was a lucky day for us when we entered The Bridal Shop at the Avenues.  We not only received warm and friendly service from the Staff but also had the opportunity to meet Emily, a bride-to-be.  She came in as we were just completing our order, and began to thank Debbie and Staff for the referral to you.  Apparently there was a problem with her dress arriving late and then the wrong size!  This was not the fault of the shop but of the designer.  Debbie sent her to you where you had to completely redo her entire dress, complete with beadwork and then proceeded to show her different ways to bustle her dress.  Emily could not stop raving about your creativity and workmanship.  Steph and I looked at each other and without missing a beat asked Debbie for your business card.  And as they say, the rest is history.
 

Neither Steph and I can thank you enough for the beautiful job you did on her dress and veil.  And quite frankly, I say "many thanks" for completing the job in two fittings. I was already beginning to detest the drive from Kissimmee to Jacksonville on I-95!!  While Steph's dress is beautiful in and of itself, it was your passion for what you do that made her look as a bride should on her wedding day -- beautiful and confident. 

 

Both Stephanie and I wish you much success in Jacksonville creating one beautiful bride after another.  We would definitely say you are well on your way!

 

Warm regards, C and S Finch

 

Dear C.,

On behalf of Tina and myself thank you so much for your expertise. I really don't know what we would have done without you.
Should your travels lead you to our area of Florida, please let me know. I would like to meet you and show you around here.

"To Park Avenue Bridal - Mandarin, Inc.

I had a wonderful experience at Park Avenue Bridal. I came in after leaving an appointment at another bridal shop and was very frustrated… I came to your store without an appointment and your staff was more than kind. I found a dress that day! (I had a quick engagement and needed something quick, so I appreciated "working with me".) I also wanted to add - I used C Pratte for my alterations and she did a superb job! She is classy and does excellent work. I've had alterations before and never used someone who's done such a good job."

Hi C!
 
The dress was absolutely amazing and everyone commented on how great the fit was. Honestly, they all thought it was this expensive designed dress - I told them no, it was just your great work!
 
Thanks again for all your help and expertise/advice!
 It could not have turned out any better.
 
Sincerely thank you,
Jessica

Hi C, Here is a picture, especially of the dress.  C, it fit like a glove and it was so perfect.  You made that happen!  I am so thankful for all you did.  If any of my Florida girlfriends have dress needs when they tie the knot, I know who to suggest.

 Thank you again, so very much.  You made me feel so confident and comfortable. 

Much love, Taylor

 

Cee, As promised here is a  picture of me in my dress. Also, I went on weddingbee.com and wrote a review for you.  Ashley

"C's work is amazing! Her talent has been a blessing to me as I prepare to film a television show and as I prepare for Miss America. One of my Miss America gowns was too large for me. It also was beaded and delicate. I was worried if anyone could alter such a delicate and important piece. Crisis averted... C made it fit me perfectly! Now I can walk out on that stage with great confidence!
Thanks C!"
