Paula’s Elegant Bride

Paula’s Elegant Bride was perfect for a bridesmaid dress fitting. This is the only place near Buffalo that carries samples of the bridesmaid dress I had to get. Super easy to get to — once you’re off the QEW just a couple of turns and your there!
Excellent service. I went in on a week day (was not busy) and did call ahead for an appointment.
The store carries a lot of samples to try on — although I was not shopping for a wedding dress it appeared the store also carried a nice selection of bridal gowns.
If you’re looking for a specific dress/​designer and it cannot be found in the Buffalo area deffinitly give Paula’s a call — it’s worth the short trip!

I have visited this bridal shop twice since August of 2014. Once without an appointment, which in the bridal world can be hard. It was a Tuesday morning so it wasn’t busy. The sales associate was very friendly, however, she was very unkept (unwashed hair, a bit sloppily dressed) so she did NOT project the image of a sales person, especially in her industry. I browsed around a bit, tried on a dress, and decided to come back another day.
On my second visit, the same sales associate was there, and again looked as though she just rolled out of bed. The request I had for my dress was «sheath» and with sleeves or straps, and preferably lace. I was brought several strapless ball gowns repeatedly. I understand suggestive selling but I have tried on ball gowns and do not want this style at all (I’m small and it overpowers my frame).
They carry some very nice gowns, so if you are interested in one of the designers there I would check it out. Many of the new 2014 and 2015 Maggie Sottero gowns are also at Sophie’s Bridal in Hamilton for a few hundred less than at Paula’s.
