Don't be so concerned about gettin shot at this mall, be worried of the Orange Julius stains on... Read Full Story

RK Bridal makes up a story to help promote sales. Alfred Angelo can make as many knockoff Bella Twilight wedding gowns as needed since they come from China and I have not heard of a polyesther shortage. Also, those who are looking for this dress are not serious buyers since they are only 13 years old, but RKBridal would have you belive different. See the below puff piece that RK Bridal has a hand in. Its just a farce. Twihards are storming bridal boutiques everywhere — just to try on Bella... Read Full Story

David's Bridal has announced that they are shutting down their Priscilla of Boston labels (which include wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses by Priscilla of Boston, Platinum for Priscilla of Boston, Melissa Sweet, Reverie, Jewel and Vineyard Collection) on December 31, 2011. This is no supprise to all of us in the bridal industry. You just can't take a wonderful brand like Priscilla of Boston and junk it with David's Bridal quality dresses. It has been known that David's Bridal has been... Read Full Story

To all my Brides out there, do not believe a review that has been payed for. Here is an example below: I found my cake baker... Read Full Story

We have seem to found another outfit that is moving bogus and fake wedding gowns. This one is an online store with an actaul retail outlet. My cousin in Cocoa Beach took a drive down to Boynton Beach to check this place out. Come to find out, it is in the Boynton Beach mall and is a foreign owned place. They may be bringing in knockoff gown directly from China and listing them as authentic. I love Allure wedding gowns and decided to check out on http://www.allurebridals.com/ to see if they...

Well here is another one that is making knockoff dresses. Linda Dresses at least states it in their logo, "Custom made, especially for you" but still illegally rips off the photos from the actual designer websites. This can be misleading to shoppers looking for the original article. We have not heard any complaints yet, except from the Bill Levkoff team themselves when called. I cannot verify if Linda Dresses fakes are as good as the original, but I am sure the colors must be way off the mark... Read Full Story

They keep poping up like rabbits. These Chinese knockoff joints are all over the web trying to steel your hard earned cash. What makes them so scary is that they actually use the designers copyrighted pictures so you think that is what you are getting. When you get your package in the mail and it looks nothing like the picture, what do you do so close to your wedding? Run out to David's Bridal and grab a cheap Vera Wang. Yes I said cheap Vera Wang, since she is now whoring out her name to the... Read Full Story

Ladies I am here today to answer the age old saying, "If it is too good to be true, its not" and Sharon Bridal at http://www.sharonbridal.com/ is a such a beast. This website is claiming to sell authentic designer dresses at discount prices, but fails to tell you that they are knockoffs. The biggest give away is that they are using a Gmail account and a live chat as the only form of contact. This company really went the extra mile in setting up a very good looking website with photographs... Read Full Story

We have been notified by some angry brides that wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses are not being delivered by Netbride.com which is a subsiderary of Rush's Bridal out of Minneapolis, MN. After further investigaion from our team, we have found that the company is suffering due to the economy and is having troubles paying its distributors. The website is still up at www.netbride.com and they are continuing to take orders, but good luck if you actually need the dress. If you happen to go by... Read Full Story
