Our Brides


Hi Irene,

I hope you are well and your husband is doing well.

Matt & I got married on the 17th of September 2011 and it was beautiful.  I loved my dress so much and it looked fantastic.

I again wanted to say thank you for all your help.  Here are some photos.

James and I got married on October 9th of last year. We were driving by your shop last week while we were visiting for my niece's first birthday, and it reminded me to email you photos.

 

Hope you enjoy the pictures! As you can see, it was a great day for us. Everybody complimented the gown, and we had several Japanese tourists take a picture of us (so I suppose some of these are in people's vacation albums).

 

The dress was finally dry cleaned and preserved last month.

 

Hope all of you (including Bento) are doing well.

 

Love,

Irene,

Thank you so much for helping me find the perfect everything for my wedding day. From my beautiful tiara, to my gorgeous wedding gown, and even my sexy silver shoes. Everything matched so perfectly that as I walked down the aisle, I truly felt like a "Princess Bride." I also want to thank your for helping us find the perfect dress and colors for my bridesmaids and flowergirls. They too, whom you also dressed from head to toe, were beautiful. We had a lot of fun that day, although we felt it was over too soon. Thank you once again for everything.

Love,

Thank you very much Irene and Roy for all your help in helping me select the perfect dress.  If it wasn't for you Roy, I probably wouldn't have tried on my dress and that would have been a shame.  I absolutely loved it and what a great deal it was to rent it.

Irene, thank you so much for also helping with the rest of the bridal party's attire and for nurturing me through the whole process.  I am grateful for your patience, experience, and love for what you do.

I also wanted to express my thankfulness for your excellent service and expertise.  Everyone looked so beautiful and everything fitted perfectly and everyone was happy with the end result.  Thanks again for all your help!

Aloha,

Irene,

Thank you sooo much for providing such excellent service and I am so pleased & very satisfied that I decided to rent my wedding gown & I know I don't have to worry about cleaning & storing it.  Everyone loved the way I looked that day & I'm glad I decided to wear the tiara and veil because it actually completed the whole outfit. 

It was a "wonderful" day & the whole wedding ceremony & reception was so much fun...it seemed forever when we were saying our wedding vows but before you know it, the reception was done & over with.

Thanks again...P.S. I still would like to order that acne zapper meds that wiped out that zit I had, so please call me when you get it in.

Thank you, lots of love,

Lei Ann & Donavan Valdez

P.S.  Thank your husband for choosing that dress for me.

Dear Irene,

I would like to start off by saying thank you... for everything.  When I first walked into your boutique, I really had no idea as to what I was looking for or where to begin.  All I had was a mental image of my childhood "dream dress" and a few magazine clippings.  You and your wonderful staff helped me realize just what I was looking for, and together we found the dress that I would walk down the aisle with.  
Thank you so much for your warmth, friendliness, and most importantly your sincerity.  I think that those characteristics are the hardest to come by these days, especially in the wedding industry, and you and your team made me feel like more than just another customer.  Those are the reasons why we were so happy to have Hawaii Princess Brides take care of almost every other aspect of our wedding attire; from my bridesmaid's dresses to outfitting my men from head to toe.  You even helped me decide on which jewelry and accessories to wear, which I am still ever so grateful for, because I probably would have chosen a different headpiece and been very sad with it after looking at my pictures.  I couldn't have imagined working with anyone else or even considering wearing another dress!  I loved my wedding gown so much that I still open my closet to peek at it, and feel a happy, giddy feeling come over me at the sight of all those ruffles.  Thank you for helping me to truly feel like a "Princess Bride..."

Sincerely,

Sherriel Akemi Meyer

Aloha Irene,

     I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for all of the help and consideration shown to my family and myself while visiting your store.  We visited several bridal boutiques, but the service that was extended from the staff at Princess Brides stood out above the rest.  We flew to Oahu from the Big Island in the hopes that I would be able to find a wedding gown that I not only felt comfortable in, but felt beautiful in.  With your help, my wishes came true!  You listened to my ideas and combined them with your knowledge and experience to find the perfect gown for me.  From the initial search, through alterations and fittings, you made me feel like an important and special client.  With your help, my wedding day turned out to be a beautiful and wondrous occasion.  I truly felt like a "princess bride"!  

 Mahalo Nui Loa,

I would like to thank Irene and the staff at Princess Brides.  They were very professional through the entire process of choosing "The Dress."  They were very patient, as I had no idea where to even start.  I tried on dress, after dress, after dress!  Once I finally settle on the dress, they were very helpful with making sure it fit properly, it arrived in time, and it was altered perfectly.  They also helped my pick out the perfect veil to match the dress.  They made a very stressful time less stressful.

 Thank you again for everything!!!!

"Princess Brides was the first stop on my list of bridal boutiques to stop at... and turned out to be my only stop!  The very first dress I tried on was the dress I ultimately ended up wearing on our BIG DAY.  Irene knows wedding dresses, cuts, styles, colors, drapes, etc like the back of her hand - I told her what I envisioned, and in a few seconds she had an assortment ready for me.  Needless to say, the one she recommended me to try on first was the one I fell in love with - a Mikaella Bridal lace strapless dress that fit my body absolutely perfectly.  Irene was unbelievably helpful throughout the year long process of wedding planning (FYI...buying a wedding dress isn't like buying a dress at Nordstroms... it is a PROCESS with sizing, fittings, having bridesmaids/moms come for showings, and more!)...Irene let me come to the store on numerous occasions to try on my dress, and even offered me "insider" pointers for my wedding day... from which undergarments to wear, to how to store my dress, to how to dance so I don't step on my dress!  Mahalo for your help, guidance, and service - it was a pleasure spending a year with you and the staff at Princess Brides!

Princess Brides has a wide selection of the hottest brands and modern styles in bridal gowns. After shopping at several bridal shops I found the perfect dress for my beach wedding which was also in my price range at Princess Brides. Roy and Irene helped me decide on a Maggie Sottero dress that really complimented my figure. My dress accented my curves (not to mention that it made my stomach look and feel flat) while at the same time making me look and feel elegant. I really had my mind set on this one veil which I had envisioned myself in, but in the end I was glad that I went with their suggestion of a Swarovski crystal veil which actually did match my dress better. They were very truthful in their comments about the selections I had narrowed down my search from and I really appreciated their straightforwardness. My husband was genuinely appreciative about the look I decided on.
Mahalo Roy and Irene!

Irene,

There are no words that can truly express how thankful we are to you for making our wedding day one that we will remember and treasure for the rest or our lives. I felt like a true princess bride in a fairy tale wedding, as my dress was absolutely gorgeous. My groom, my son, and my brother looked extremely handsome in their tuxedos and we owe this all to you.

Thank you for making my dream come true!

Much Mahalo,
