The new shop is wonderful. It is spacious, bright, colorful, and fun. And Tiombe broke the mold when it comes to customer service. She was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and zeroed-in on what we needed. Parking is easy in the parking lot in the back of the building. We highly recommend Cultivated. @shopcultivated For those not familiar Ms. Paige's shop, her Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/shopcultivated/, explains, "Cultivated is a shopping boutique located in the heart of downtown Westminster. Our mission is to be the top-ranking specialty store for contemporary women's apparel, decor, and gift needs in Carroll County." Cultivated, 15 East Main St Suite 103, Westminster, Maryland.

I was initially drawn to Stella's because of their Disney Fairy Tale collection, but ultimately…read morechose a beautiful ballgown satin dress called "Macy" that was not part of that collection. The website interface was a bit difficult to navigate while browsing dresses and you should call to make sure they have the dress you like in stock before making an appointment. They have a diverse selection of dresses in a reasonable price range of $1000-$2000 with some being more expensive than that. They offer cheaper dresses during their sales or sometimes you can buy a sample dress directly off the rack. I found the price of my dress reasonable, and the alterations including hemming and bustling with Sandy was a pleasant experience (although I think she has since left Stella's). The best part of Stella's is that the appointments are free! Most of the other wedding dress shops that I visited had a $35-$50 appointment fee. The service was mostly very good, the lady from my first appointment (tall redhead) was very peppy and helped me with clipping my dresses in and getting in and out of them. The lady I had during my second appointment was less enthusiastic but she was still alright. Once you select and order the dress, you can follow the status on the website and they also call you to remind you about your appointments and let you know when your wedding dress has arrived. All in all, I visited 5 wedding dress shops and ended up saying yes to the dress at Stella's!

My husband wanted to upgrade my wedding rings for our anniversary. We started at DK jewelers…read morebecause I had no idea what I actually wanted. Bonnie was awesome, she took the time to let me try on everything and anything. She answered all our questions and gave us the pricing on the pieces we liked. I wanted to go to some other stores and see what they were offering as well so my husband and I did visit three other stores. Once I knew exactly what we wanted my husband and I both agreed we wanted to go back to DK's. No other store compared to the welcoming feeling and down to earth staff. So back we went to DK jewelers. Due to us custom creating our ring it took about 4 weeks, but it was well worth the wait when I picked up those rings. Absolutely stunning!! We are very happy we chose DK.

My husband purchased my diamond engagement ring in 2012. He worked with Paul and Cara. My husband's budget was tight and my taste is very expensive. I LOVE my ring and I couldn't be happier. I receive multiple compliments on a daily basis. We were so pleased that we went back for our wedding bands. My band is a 4 carat eternity band in platinum. We shopped around before we purchased and another jewelry store tried to sell me the same band for $3,000 more!!!!!!! We were honestly so happy that we've been back to purchase a few watches and a ring since our wedding. I'll never go to another jewelry store. You can't beat their prices, honesty and quality of service. If you're looking for quality diamonds/jewelry or if you're looking to trade in your jewelry with friendly service in a respectful and trusting environment, this is the place!

Between the lack of communication and overall lack of interest in the final product it is clear Francesca's does not care about their customers.

It is clear to me Francesca's is more focused on the sale than the bride.
