Whether you are booking Tanya for wedding day styling or an appointment at Gilded Social to find your dream dress, you will be in good hands. I have known and worked with Tanya for 3 years and have felt nothing but support from her in all aspects!
To start, the one-on-one approach you get from the start of this process makes it unlike any else. From booking my dress appointment Tanya reached out and had me send her dresses I was interested in trying on. She knew which one had been my absolute favorite so we tried that dress on FIRST and sure enough it was the winner! I love that Tanya stands behind the fact that trying on the favorite/top pick dress first. We continued to try on dresses and I even chose a second one for my reception because I loved it so much. At Gilded Social, your opportunities for customization are almost endless. Depending on the designer, you are able to customize and make the dress fit your exact vision, before you even step into alterations! We did custom sizing, which basically makes the dress fit better from top to bottom. My veil was almost completely customized by me, with Tanya’s help and guidance. We were able to add a blusher and order extra lace fabric that we had Mary Ellen add in alterations to the front of the veil, for a complete custom look. It felt amazing to have a hand in that process.
Now after having such an amazing dress appointment experience I knew I had to book Tanya’s wedding day styling services. I cant stress this enough, she saved the day SO many times!
I had already hired a wedding planner, and having Tanya was still absolutely necessary! She was able to communicate well with all vendors, making the experience ahead of time super simple for myself.
Tanya arrived the morning of the wedding to help steam and prep all dresses. She had even kept my 2 dresses stored because I did not have any room to store them myself. She brought two mannequins to display my dresses on for photos which was absolutely amazing to see! From getting ready to walking down the aisle, Tanya had everything covered. She went with us to the first look to help with my veil, she had everything to help in emergencies (fashion tape, wipes, deodorant, mints, you name it- she had it covered). She was able to help me with my dress and veil as well as my super heavy bouquet. She helped the entire wedding party with their dresses/suits, was able to tell the groomsmen which button to have undone, etc. Basically everything you do not want to think of/stress about as a bride, she had covered!
The wedding day would not go as smooth as it did without Tanya. I truly cannot express how amazing of a job she did at my wedding. If you made it this far, you might as well just book her!!

Tanya went above and beyond to find the matching veil to my discontinued designer bridal gown. After being rejected by multiple bridal salons throughout the US, we found Gilded Social/Tanya who was able to reach out to the designer and have the discontinued veil handmade for us.

Behind the scenes, Tanya worked tirelessly to make alternate arrangements to have the veil made when the original shop it was being created in shut down due to COVID. She made sure everything was in order for us to get the veil in time for the wedding despite these unforeseen circumstances. She stayed in touch with us every step of the way to keep us informed on the progress.

The veil arrived in perfect condition; it was gorgeous and better than we even imagined!!

Tanya was absolutely wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend Gilded Social for any of your wedding needs!

Being a bride in 2020 was far from easy. It was full of canceled invited, plans and heartache. One thing I knew I never needed to worry about was the dresses. Tanya and her team made it SO easy for me. When two of my three bridesmaids backed out just 4 days before the wedding Tanya called me and asked how she could help. The team went through their whole store to find any dresses that could match my color scheme for my new bridesmaids. Given the time constraint Tanya hand hemmed the dresses for my girls. It was over the top service. My wedding would not have been such a dream without the gilded squad
