    Great Service & love my dress!

    I went to one other bridal dress store and they did not listen to me at all. At Alexia Gavela, I felt heard and seen. They brought me a dress I loved except I had a vision that the middle would be mesh. They were able to custom design it for the wedding dress of my dreams at an affordable price. DEFINITELY recommend Alexia Gavela. Save yourself some time and don't even bother going anywhere else.

    Wedding 2023

    I give Alexa Gavela Bridal 5 star review for being so amazing in helping me choose the perfect dress for my wedding. I had pleasure of working with Geri, he made the experience so special and he always had a response for any of my questions. I got to my appointment he asked me a couple of questions which one was for my inspo pics and just from my inspo pics he was able to pull a dress very similar to what I wanted. I went with that first dress he pulled out for me because it was all my inspo pics in 1 dress. At my second fitting I had some new ideas for my dress as I had lost some weight and he was quick to say yes to the changes I wanted to make. From there my dress became a customized dress yet still the dress of my dreams. He was very communicative through the 10months I waited for my custome gown to come in, I felt so comfortable with Jim’s. At my last fitting everything just felt so surreal and everything was still perfect and everything I wanted and more. I would highly recommend to any bride to be ❤️

    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!!

    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!!!

    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 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!!!

    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.

    I will admit that when I first walked into Alexia Gavela, I did not have high hopes. It is a very small salon and it does not seem very well lit inside. Alex was my dress consultant and she quickly changed my impressions! I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted, and she was able to understand my style immediately. She came back with several dresses that included not only the dress I ultimately bought, but also several other close runners-up. Other stores would pick things I was not interested in or just leave me on my own to browse the store, which is not very helpful when I am less familiar with the dresses in stock than the store employees are. After I bought the dress, working with Geri and the other consultants in the store doing fittings and alterations was great. My dress did not fit at all when it first came in (did they order me the wrong size?) but by the end of the process it fit like a glove, and they even made some quick last minute alterations two weeks before the wedding at my last fitting. Overall I’m really glad I came here and found my perfect dress thanks to the help of some very knowledgeable consultants.

    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!

    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!

    Didn't know that boutiques are more expensive, found out afterwards by family and friends that it's better to go to David's bridal or a place with many employees where the prices for wedding dresses were $1000.00 or more lower. When decided to order my wedding dress from Alexia Gavela, I remembered being very surprised that they didn't take my measurements. I told Jerry if he was going to measure me but he said that he already knew my size. Found out later from my friends that you should never get a dress without being measured. And when received dress, it was very tight, very hard to zip up and was unable to get altered to be more loose fitting because there was no extra material to help loosen the top of my dress. Also I didn't notice a price tag on the dress and my friends later told me not to get a dress that has no price on it. However Jerry had told me that it had just come in that day so maybe that's why there was no tag. Ordered dress on Friday and decided I wanted to have the waistline altered so called back Saturday but said they couldn't call that company until Monday and they would call me back. But they didn't, so called Tuesday but they were closed so left message then Wednesday came and no one called me back so had to call back again on Thursday to which they told me it was too late to get the alteration done so had to do alteration on my own after got dress before my wedding took place. Also had ordered a petticoat but when got dress found out that they had sewn the petticoat to the dress. I wished they had asked me this before they decided to do this so I could have told them that I didn't want this to be done. However the the 3 people that worked here were nice and friendly and courteous which is why I gave them 3 stars.

    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!

    I purchased my wedding veil here and they had the most variety, beautiful lace, and best priced veils I saw in Austin. They have limited store hours, but were very helpful with walk-ins. Very satisfied!
