10 stars!

I wish I had more stars available to give! What an amazing experience. I was a little anxious about the process before shopping for my dress. LuLu and Michelle made the entire process from beginning to end so comfortable and so fun! I left with the most perfect dress for myself, and my mom left with her’s too! They are so helpful and knowledgable. And the store is an absolute dream. I hope those women know how special they made me feel. I am so grateful and SO happy to have found this gem.

Must Visit!

I went to Gilded Rose on a whim because I saw they had an open appointment and had great reviews online. I went there on my first day trying on wedding dresses to see if I could try on different types of dresses, to find the style I liked most. I didn't expect to find my perfect dress there! The quality of dresses is top tier and each was more gorgeous than the last. I went back to Gilded Rose two more times to show off the dress to different people and they never pressured me to say yes or buy the dress in that moment. It was such a relief to try on dresses in an environment with no pressure, where I knew I was saying yes to the dress that I loved the most and at a place that cared about me as a person rather than just focusing on getting a sale. I told all my engaged friends that they must go to Gilded Rose to try on dresses!

Overall amazing experience here!

Loved my experience at Gilded Rose Atelier. Irene was a great consultant and helped pick out many dresses that were all within the style I described to her. She was very conscious of my budget which is really appreciated and I was able to find a stunning dress on my first visit! I am thrilled with my choice and would recommend this store to anyone looking for a lower budget dress, I bought one of the sample dresses which was still in great shape!

Great Bridal Shop!

My experience with Gilded Rose Atelier was amazing from the moment I called to request an accommodation for extra seating, which was given with no hesitation and kindness! When I first came to my appointment with my mother, grandmother and two sisters, I was immediately in love with the beauty of not only all of the dresses but the venue itself! Michelle greeted my entourage and I quickly and warmly. She asked what I envisioned to wear on my big day, as well as my budget and she quickly came back with 6 beautiful gowns for me to try on. The first gown she picked AND I tried on moved me to tears while leading to an emotional expression of acceptance from my family! They all were moved to tears and I felt like I had finally found my dream dress after trying on about 12 dresses prior at different Bridal shops. Michelle was so patient, knowledgable, and kind. I will recommend her and the shop to anyone I can!! I am so happy I saved the best for last ;)

This Is Where I Said Yes!

Gilded Rose Atelier was where I said yes to the dress! The space is beautiful and creates such a special atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and willing to work with any and all special requests! From their get-to-know-you questionnaire to their assistance in store, GRA did an amazing job getting to know me and what I needed. Lulu made my dream wedding dress a reality and I couldn't be more happy with the experience I had here.

Beyond Amazing!

My experience was beyond amazing! At my first appointment we were greeted by owner, Lulu, who was so friendly and so welcoming! Lulu introduced us to Michelle, our consultant.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic and so incredibly patient, kind, and helpful. After trying on many dresses, I asked Michelle to pull dresses for me I hadn’t tried and should consider. She found me the most perfect dress, that was ultimately “the one”!

The entire process from start to finish was seamless. I could not recommend enough and I am so grateful for the expertise and kindness.

Lulu and Michelle make a great team and I felt I was in the best hands every step of the way! I look forward to picking up my dress!

Absolutely Incredible!

I cannot give Gilded Rose enough gold stars! The entire experience was top-notch - from the private and intimate shopping experience, to getting to feel and select your own gowns, to the ample time they give you to move around, ask questions and play with alteration options, to the ZERO pressure shopping experience. I came back for a second try-on a few weeks after my initial appointment which gave me so much reassurance and confidence in making my decision. Michelle was an absolute GEM and I am so incredibly thankful for my experience with her. I will be recommend Gilded Rose to EVERY bride. THANK YOUUUUU!

The perfect dress experience

I cannot rave about Lulu and the staff at Gilded Rose enough. After having a less than ideal first dress experience, I came in looking for a fun day of trying on dresses. I left with my perfect wedding dress. Lulu was fun to chat with while switching dresses and offered her expertise on how I could customize each of the dresses to fit my style. She offered her superior assistance not only to me, but also to my mother and maid of honor who tried on dresses too! This boutique is a one stop shop for any bride-to-be for gorgeous dresses and service.
