    Enchanting Experience: A Bride's Journey at Alexia Gavela Bridal

    Choosing a bridal salon is one of the most significant decisions for a bride-to-be, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Alexia Gavela Bridal.

    Opting for a custom dress with a unique LED fabric was a dream of mine, and Geri and his team went above and beyond to bring it to life flawlessly. Their attention to detail and dedication to making my vision a reality truly made my special day even more magical.

    I cannot recommend Alexia Gavela Bridal enough for any brides-to-be looking for unparalleled service, exquisite gowns, and a team who genuinely cares about making your wedding dreams come true. Thank you, Geri, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my big day!

    It was all amazing

    All the staff were so friendly & welcoming. MY perfect dress was made when I was told dresses could be put 2 together❤️ He even helped my mother find her dress & was such a help when it came to color selection for her as well! Over all I've definitely recommended him to everyone now!

    The Best Bridal Salon EVER

    This was the first place that I tried on dresses, and ultimately bought from. I was very indecisive and they were so helpful and accommodating, letting me come in on my lunch break (5 separate times!) until I could make a decision. They answered all of my questions about alterations and gave the best advice. Always knew my name when I walked in. Very pleasant, 100% recommend Alexia Gavela for ANY bride (they also only pull dresses in your budget)

    ALEXIA GAVELA BRIDAL's reply:

    Alexis, Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
    We love what we do.
    Thank you for choosing our boutique for your special day!
    Our best wishes from all of us @ Alexia Gavela Bridal.

    Kind, Friendly, and Fabulous Boutique

    I am so grateful for the crew at Alexia Gavela, who made my wedding dress shopping experience such a joy! They helped me find the dress of my dreams. It was something that I don't think I would ever have picked for myself, but they knew it was the right look and fit for me. And it was. I absolutely lived my drama-queen, Hollywood princess fantasy on my wedding day, and I could never have done it with out them!

    Also, I was a COVID bride, so my wedding planning process took 2 years due to delays. Alexia Gavela me the whole time through probably twice as many of the usual fittings. They were always supportive, thoughtful, and kind. I love Alexia Gavela, and I can't wait to recommend them to all my friends!

    ALEXIA GAVELA BRIDAL's reply:

    Hello Kate, Congratulations!!!
    Alex and I had so much fun helping you with your Fabulous Venovia Couture Gown and accessories!!!
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures of you and your husband.
    You look Stunning!!!
    XOXO

    The perfect place to buy your dress and have it altered!

    The folks at Alexia Gavela seriously saved me! I originally bought my dress from them, but brought it to Canada (where I live) to have it altered. The small alterations place in my town wrecked by dress. I brought it back to Austin with only a week or so to spare, and had a rush alteration done with Alexia Gavela. They did an amazing job and totally saved me from having a less-than-perfect dress on my wedding day. I can honestly say that buying my dress and having it altered by them was the best decision I made for my wedding day. Highly recommend!!!

    The best experience!

    I had the best an unexpected experience with Alexia Gavela Bridal. I had been to a few popular shops in the ATX area and didn't find anything remotely close to what I had in mind, I was convinced I wasn't going to find MY ideal dress. Then I decided to make one more call, they for me in the next day and the entire experience was really nice. All of the guys who worked with me were very accomodating without seeming over the top or pushy. They listened to me and brought me options I really loved. I love my dress and bite to wear it every anniversary!

    The absolute BEST

    Gerry and Alexia Gavela Bridal are hands down the best bridal shop, I'm so glad I found them!! Their custom designer gowns allow you to create the perfect look with the most beautiful fabrics. Gerry was wonderful to work with and made sure I was taken care of every step of the way, and their alterations are so well done!! My dress could not have been more perfect and I just loved getting to know them all! This is the place to go!!

    I had such a wonderful experience going to alexia Gavela bridal ! The people who work there are so inviting and sincere. They really want to help you find that PERFECT dress. I was able to get a custom dress without paying "custom price". I was amazed at the affordability. They make you feel beautiful and aren't pushy or invasive at all. I had alterations done here as well and they were perfect. Overall, a great experience , highly recommend !

    Great service that isn't pushy and has years of experience!!! They found the perfect dress for me and in the right price range. I am a curvy girl and it's hard to find something I am comfortable in in the chest area. They listened to my every want/need and may this process simple. I still receive soooo many compliments on my Casablanca wedding dress!

    Don't let the size of the salon fool you, this place is FULL of dresses in many different styles. The prices were reasonable, at least for the type of dress I was looking for. You buy your gown there, and you get 10% (I think) off your bridesmaids dresses and 20% toward your veil... if you pay in full. I wish they had more bridesmaids dresses there to try on because I ended up getting my girls' dresses from The Bridesmaid Store even though Alexia Gavela carried the same designer, but did not have the dress to try on. But the staff was very friendly and didn't try to push a decision on me. They understand that the dress is so important and you shouldn't be pressured.

    I loved working with the staff at Alexia Gavela. I first came across them when one of my best friends was getting married (she also got her dress here) and was so thrilled with how special they made her feel that I made an appointment to come back. They took the time to find what I was looking for, and never put any pressure on me, either to try something on, or to purchase anything. The entire staff very truly embodies the "you know the right dress when you find it" mentality and are very bride centered. I would recommend them to anyone!

    This was perfect! Paid one time and they hemmed my dress until it was just right! Got great advice as the woman was pinning my dress (I forgot her name!), but she was so quiet and mindful as she did it - it seemed she really liked her job and valued what she was doing for her customers. They were reliable, timely, and so kind! They helped me feel confident in my dress and I was able to dance the night away with no worries of tripping. Can't thank y'all enough!

    When I first visited Alexia Gavela in search of my wedding gown, I actually did not know what style I wanted to go with. They were great about letting me try on multiple styles and fabrics to get a better idea of what might work for me. Armed with a better understanding of what I wanted, I scoured designer collections online until I narrowed it down the dress I fell in love with. It was a Mori Lee dress and Alexia Gavela was able to special order the gown with my specific style number. They were so wonderful throughout the entire process and were able to knowledgeably answer any questions I had. I also loved the large selection of veils and beautiful accessories they had in the store. The gown arrived with time to spare. Loved my experience working with this vendor and would recommend them to future brides.

    My daughter and I spent the day shopping (with no success) for wedding dresses in Dallas. Luckily, a friend suggested AG Bridal. We were amazed at their selection and every dress in the shop was in our pricepoint....in other stores we only had a few racks to choose from. Geri, the owner, worked with my daughter until she found "the one". He did not rush or pressure us....he truly wanted by my daughter to find the dress she loved. In addition, from talking to other MOB's, I believe that AG Bridal's pricing for accessories and altering is much cheaper than other bridal stores. This is very important because the total cost of the wedding dress quickly adds up to more then you may budget.

    Found the perfect dress here. It was a zipper back which I did not want. They altered it to a corset back and it was perfect. You would never know the dress didn't come that way! Wonderful people to work with with gorgeous dresses to choose from!

    Alexia Gavela came highly recommended to me by a friend and I would pass along the same feedback to any bride looking for bridal alterations. The owner is super nice and works hard to get that perfect fit for you! Excellent, friendly staff too. Even in the heat of wedding & prom season, they made me feel special and not just a number.

    Alexia Gavela came highly recommended to me by a friend who works in the wedding industry. It was actually the second bridal salon I went to. I first went to another well-known salon in Austin, and I did not have a great experience there...it was very so-so. The salesperson I was working with did not make me feel great. I found a dress that I kind of liked, but I was anxious to get to Alexia Gavela to see what all they had. I had the great pleasure of working with Geri, who made me feel so beautiful and at ease. I showed him pictures of styles that I liked, and he pulled a few dresses, and my maids of honor that were there with me picked some dresses as well. I will never forget seeing "my" dress on me for the first time - it felt like it was made just for me. My mom, future MIL, maids of honor, and aunt were all there with me, and we all got teary-eyed. Picking out a bridal gown can be an emotional experience, and Geri and his team were so sweet and accommodating.

    Geri and his team did my alterations as well - they were perfect. Geri was a perfectionist (in a good way!) about getting the length of the dress just right to go with my shoes.

    I ended up ordering a custom veil through Geri as well, with lace to match the trim of my dress. It was absolutely perfect. I wish I could get married again so I could work with Geri again to find another dress!
