Who is cheapweddingandpromdresses.com?

Gabriel Wholesale and Retail Enterprises was formed in 2008. Its managers possess over 25 years of managerial experience. Our team of professional manufacturers and partners have been in the prestigious garment trade for decades, while their ancestors have possibly met Marco Polo and built, with their renown craftsmanship, the "silk roads" to Europe and to the new world.

We all make choices in our lives, sometimes leading to important orientations in our life and in the way we conduct ethical business. Drawing from these many years at servicing customers (including services rendered to co-workers and superiors in teamwork), our first orientation took the form of the following clear objectives;

A) Beautiful wedding dresses, bridal gowns, flower girl dresses, their accessories, as well as prom dresses, that enable a woman to feel and look at her very best during her wedding celebration or on her prom date (including that same great look and feel for the little Flower Girl!). 

  • Several manufacturing facilities comprise our production teams so that we can offer cheap and discounted prices because of the sheer international volume they handle.
  • Our team of fashion designers have not all made it on the front page of Glamour, ELLE, Harper's Bazaar or Vogue magazines, but they are very talented, bright, eager, passionate and professional at what they do.
  • Our excellent team of proficient seamstresses are assiduous and attentive to details.
  • Yes, we love our employees! They are all very important and great team members.
  • An innovation in the wedding industry; offering on-line, international shipping free of charge. Unfortunately we do not own our own shipping company, but a careful study of shipping costs (the best rates available) and a few negotiations resulted in us being able to take on shipping charges. That is, the customer won't be bothered with it. As said, we do not control the evolution of the shipping industry, and it is possible that in a near or distant future, it becomes better for our customers to pay themselves for shipping charges, and this option could be estimated directly on our web site and added to the price of the dress. But for now it will work out well the way it is. In any eventuality, rest assured that any changes made to our policy will be leaning in the favor of our customers.

B) Our next major objective was to honestly provide the best quality design, fabrics and manufacture, at the best (cheapest) price. There are more expensive designer dresses out there, that's obvious. So the trick was to offer our customers the best ratio of quality versus price range. 

  • Modern high quality satin have replaced a lot of the traditional silk, often surpassing silk in many aspects. Again, the choice of materials depends on a calculated consideration of quality versus the price charged to our customers. Price ranges in the wedding gown industry varies enormously - we opted for the affordability to our customer of our merchandises. We believe that we obtained a great and honest balance in quality / price.
  • Please shop around on this web site and see our collections! The designs of our wedding gowns and prom dresses are on par with the best of what trendy and classical fashion has to offer anywhere in the world! But you will not be charged a large extra for the expensive label of the renown designer. You get the top-design look, not the top-price tag.

C) Next objective was to offer a pleasant, hassle-free and easy-to-do shopping experience.

  • Another innovation of cheapweddingandpromdresses.com is the popular option of typing in your measurements directly on our web site. No need to print forms, get them filled out, fax them out, etc. In the industry, you can expect to be asked to commute back and forth to the manufacturer for possible adjustments or tailoring. We want to make it as easy and simple as possible for you. You are a busy woman! You also have so much planing to do! Women are asking more and more for a shopping experience and a purchasing process to correspond precisely to what they need and want, and DONE without waste of time and redundancy. Our method is very thorough and virtually error-free - you type in your measurements right here and they are exactly forwarded to our team of professional seamstress.
  • We ask from you that you give us 17 separate measurements of your body. (You can, of course, dispense with arms measurements if your dress is sleeveless). Experience has shown us what it takes to really custom-make a dress. It is said that perfection is not of this world, but we sure can try to give you the best fitting dress you will ever wear!
  • Another thing experience told us; plus size wedding dresses and plus size prom dresses are hard to find and the process of tailoring is often quite time-consuming! Everybody's figure and proportions are different. The beauty of our procedure is that no matter how your figure is built, no matter how short, tall, slim or wide you might be in all aspects of proportions, you will have YOUR dress. Nowadays we witness more customizations than ever; cars, houses, computers, dream vacations; your wedding dress or prom dress is no less important!
  •  We opted to afford you with simplicity and exactitude; getting it right the first time. However, we strongly suggest you have someone else who will stay focused with you, taking these 17 measurements for you (as opposed to try to do it yourself on your own body, which is known to produce occasional mistakes!). It takes only a few minutes to do so.

D) Last: provide our customers with secure on-line shopping and methods of payment.

  • Our web site is hosted by ihoststudio.com. They have been in operation as a computer hosting company since 1996 and one of the most trusted in the world.
  • Your payments and the information we share with you are securely sent through certified SSL* (Secure Sockets Layer; a system of data encryption) data encrypted lines. 
  • Our computers are housed in highly secure, state-of-the-art data center
  • Connected directly to the Internet Backbone
  • UPS (Un-interruptable Power Supply) and generator backups for power supply
  • Secure, robust Windows 2003 servers
  • 24/7 network and server monitoring
Thank you for the time you spent knowing a little more about us and what we stand for. We believe a wedding celebration is one of the very best moments in one's life. A school graduation, celebrated with a prom night filled with magic, has also a very dear place in our hearts! We wish you a most promising and happy future!

*SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. What SSL does is encrypt data when it it travels from your computer to our hosting server. Without SSL, all the information going through the internet from one computer to the other could be possibly viewed by  "others" (confidential information like credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or any other information entered into a web site). SSL activates the secure lock in the web browser so you, the customer, can feel safe.
