    Saved the day!

    Yvonne, her mother and Marge saved our daughter in law's wedding day! After getting my dress there, Marge altered the mother of the bride dress the weekend before the wedding after the other seamstress at the other shop was a no show and wouldn't answer her phone.. she then took my daughter in law's dress in 4 INCHES after the original bridal shop ordered the dress incorrectly and attempted to fix it and said there wasn't anything else they could do. Marge literally took the whole dress apart, made it the size 8 it should have been, her attention to detail and commitment to make everyone look their best were evident every step of the way. She met us when the shop was closed the week of the wedding, worked all hours and the dress was finished the Thursday before the wedding. The day was spectacular and my daughter in law was stunning. Thanks Yvonne's instead of getting married in a dress she hated, she was married in the dress she envisioned when it was ordered a year ago. Words cannot express how grateful we are. They are experts at helping choose the dress that looks best on each woman, and their service is impeccable. No need to go anywhere else!

    Absolutely amazing

    I absolutely loved this place, my mom got her beautiful wedding dress from here, and they made me feel absolutely amazing. Love the environment very uplifting, warm, and kind. Also, love how its a family business and the fact they were just as excited to see me in my dress as I was. Very thoughtful and would recommend people to go.

    Personal & Beautiful

    I got both my prom dresses from Yvonne's back in 2010 and 2011, and this past year knew I had to go back to find my wedding dress. Yvonne is so personable and so sweet, and she knows exactly what dress will work for you! I found the perfect dress with her that made me look & feel like a princess, and I am so eternally grateful for her for that! With a perfect veil, warm fuzzy shawl, and the most stunning jewelry, I found everything I was looking for and more. What's even more, my mom found her Mother of the Bride dress, altered to fit her needs and desires, and everything was absolutely perfect. If I get married again (HA!) I'm definitely coming back here. Will always recommend, such a loving and personal experience

    Say YES to Yvonne’s Bridal

    The excitement of looking for your wedding dress can be a bit overwhelming to say the least. From the moment I walked into Yvonne’s bridal gallery I felt as if I were family! After telling Yvonne what I was looking for in my dream dress she had picked several dresses that were all in line with what I had imagined. The moment I slipped into my dress I was in love! Of course I had to go to other boutiques to ensure I was making the right decision but none other compared to the experience from walking in the door. A word of advice… don’t waste your time going anywhere commercialized, you are just a sale to them. Yvonne kept an open line of communication through out the entire process, her Taylor on site did an awesome job and her mother is the sweetest! You will not be disappointed in the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne!

    This bridal shop is amazing

    Yvonne did everything in her power to ensure I loved my dress, even when I wanted to change it 1 month before the wedding, she still made it happen. Out of the 7 dress stores I visited, hers is hands down the best!

    Bridal Gallery by Yvonne's reply:

    Thank you Billie! I already miss you! We had a great time throughout your whole process. Have an amazing wedding!

With the help of the staff I found my perfect wedding dress! It came in right before my wedding and alterations were able to be done just in time and perfectly!

    I had an absolutely wonderful expirence shopping for my wedding dress at Yvonne’s. Eva was beyond amazing! After showing her just a few pictures of the styles I was interested in she knew exactly what to pull. And after trying only six dresses I found the one! I went with my mother, my mother in law and my maid of honor and she made sure she took everyone’s opinions and suggestions into consideration. I can’t say enough good things about my expirence and I’m so excited to return for my fitting! Thank you so much Eva for making what I thought would be the most stressful part of wedding planning easy and stress free!

    Loved my dress!

    I found the most beautiful dress at Yvonne’s, her team did an excellent job pulling dresses for me my first and last day of dress shopping! I cannot say enough wonderful things about their seamstress, having a mother who is also a seamstress, she was spot on with my alterations! For my final fitting she came in to help show my bridesmaids exactly how to lace up my back and position the dress. I highly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne when you are searching for your perfect dress!

    Eva and the other ladies were great to work with! She had me try on each type of gown to make sure I got the dress I wanted. We were in a private room which made the experience even better - Thanks Bridal by Yvonne!

    This is the best bridal shop in the capital region. Eva was so patient and flexible during the dress fitting. She knew exactly what I wanted and never rushed me. Yvonne helped my mom pick out her jewelry and was so accommodating with my schedule. I highly recommend! They are phenomenal.

    I cannot say enough about Yvonne's.
    Janis helped me find the perfect dress and boosted my confidence when I thought I would look ridiculous. I am no "spring chicken" but was finally going to get to be a bride after being married 30 years! Janis made sure I looked "age appropriate" but still stunning :-)
    The entire process was smooth sailing. I ordered my beautiful David Tutera "Seraphina" dress and is came in less than 6 months. I had 2 fittings with the "amazing" Marge and the dress fit me like a glove.
    More importantly, they helped me find a dress that coordinated with my maid of honor with literally one week before the wedding for my daughter. We were not sure she would be able to attend, but she could at the last minute and somehow they had a dress in the shop that with some "marge magic" worked perfectly.
    You cant even tell the 2 dresses aren't the same exact color. Yvonne and Eva dried my tears and made me feel like everything would be ok- and they were right!
    Everything was magical
    I am forever grateful for you ladies.
    Thank you!

    AMAZING.

    A wedding dress is a major decision for any bride. Bridal Gallery by Yvonne was the first shop I went to and the only one I needed. Janice was outstanding. I told her what I thought I wanted, and what I thought I didn't wanted, from there she picked a few dresses. She asked what I liked and didn't like on each dress and would chose other dresses that fit that idea. Eventually all the pieces came together and I found the most perfect dress for me. The funny part is- it's exactly what I thought I didn't want and instead of pushing something else on me, Janice listened and guided me to this dress. It complimented me in every way. She matched the dress perfectly with a gorgeous veil and headband. I left there on cloud 9.

    Over the next few month, the staff at Bridal Gallery managed to keep me calm as I called frequently, frantic over the status of my dress (because I was an impatient and stressed out bride, not because they did anything wrong).

    The day came when I got the call that my dress had arrived and I set up my first fitting appointment. At my first fitting I was greeted by Yvonne who got my in my dress and set up for Marge. Marge was fabulous. She was able to complete my dress in 2 appointments and had me in and out both times. The dress fit me so perfectly.

    The day of my last fitting I had mentioned I was nervous because I was about 2 weeks out and had no jewelry. I can't remember she name, but one of the girls spend the better part of an hour looking at multiple jewelry options until we had found the perfect match.

    I am so appreciative for everyone at Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. I would recommend any Bride to go there. You were all amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Not only did I get my dress here, but I also got all (5) bridesmaid dresses and a dress for my mother in law. Everyone at the shop was so helpful and made our fittings so easy and exciting! The dresses were so beautiful and they even came in earlier than they were supposed too. My alterations were super quick and easy and made the dress look phenomenal!

    I cannot say enough kind words about this bridal salon. I felt like they helped me every step of the way! The lady who helped me did an incredible job picking out the style that I was looking for and even offered her professional opinion when we asked for help. I had alterations done there. My dress had a low back so we made it very tight on my upper body, making me a little nervous, but the dress fit like a glove. Yvonne is AMAZING and is so good at her job! She actually helped design the dress I wore and I got so many compliments! They even provided me with a gift card to use towards preserving my dress (which they handle).

    From the moment we walked in the shop they made me feel like a princess. We didn't even have an appointment, but were highly recommended to check them out by our event planner. After a long morning of terrible experiences at other bridal shops, we decided to stop in at Yvonnes. They suprisingly had an appointment within an hour for me. When we came back for the appointment they had the room set up beautifully with a dress I saw upon walking in all spread out and on display. I told Janice and Yvonne exactly what I was looking for and they brought me just that unlike the other places we had been to prior in the day. The dress sample I saw and fell in love with upon entering the store was not in my size and before I could even ask, Janice brought me the same dress minus some details the other one had, in a sample that was my size for me to try on. I instantly fell in love. I knew the one I saw first was going to be the one and sure enough it was. Being a plus size bride, they made me feel confortable, they had many dresses I could actually fit into and try on, and not once did I feel out of place. I went back with my bridesmaids and once again had an awesome experience. Two of my bridesmaids who are getting married fell in love with the experince while we were there and will deffinitly be back when it comes time for them to shop. Also, they have great knowlege as to what will look best with your dress. As a bride you make so many decisions,and they have made chossing the fine details like my veil and earing and head piece a breeze. It has been so smooth working with everyone at Yvonnes and I recommend them to every bride I meet.

    I can't say enough good things about Yvonne's. Not only was my wedding dress gorgeous but they helped me through an emergency with my bridesmaids dresses (which I ordered at another store, not Yvonnes which was first mistake, and never received them). Yvonne's worked with me when I only had 2 weeks left before my wedding, to get all the girls fitted and paid and new dresses ordered and altered. I expected it to be hectic and overwhelming. I had 2 weeks before my wedding and I had no idea what to do, no bridesmaids dresses and some pretty upset girls, and Yvonnes was my saving grace!!!! They were calm, helpful, responsive and just overall amazing!!!!

    I am so happy with my dress and veils. Marge (the seamstress), is AMAZING. She can do anything and everything. My dress was stunning and I felt amazing on my wedding day. Yvonne and her staff are very accommodating and helpful. I am sad I have to pack up my stunning gown!

    OUTSTANDING! 2nd TO NONE!! From the moment I walked through the door the 1st appointment I was treated like a Queen. The boutique is quaint, clean, and the staff is personable. I was congratulated and we were escorted to a suite that was cozy and beautiful. The had an 8X10 frame that read "Welcome Marcella". I felt so special!!! They worked with me on price and came right out and stated they will not get offended if you go elsewhere for alterations as they are pricey. BUT then tell you to come back as they will press it for you in the days before your wedding day. Yvonne knows her business! She, along with the rest of her staff put their clients 1st and treat you and your bridal party/family like you are a member of their family!

    Yvonne- I MISS YOU !!!!

    The atmosphere of the bridal salon was so peaceful. They go out of their way to bring you to imagining yourself on your wedding day. You are brought in to a private room decorated with a welcome sign personalized for the bride... With a hanging gown and bouquet for effect. You have a satin robe to change into as if this was your wedding day. You are not pressured to make a decision and they work with the bride till you are happy. They work with you financially. They also sent a very personal hand written thank you card days later. I would recommend them to any bride.

    This was the first bridal gown appointment that I had and the last! They were so helpful and accommodating. I was assigned my own bridal consultant who listened to what I wanted. This was a very good experience and I would highly recommend them.

    I took my bridal party out to the Albany area to shop for their dresses and were hugely disappointed by the first place we went to. Frazzled and stressed we decided to stop by Yvonne's to see if we could get in without an appointment. We were greeted with kindness and open arms, a HUGE relief! Yvonne's had a fantastic selection of bridesmaid dresses with many different styles and colors. The girls were able to pick out and try on dresses to their hearts content, with staff nearby to answer any questions. Yvonne's was very accommodating with payment and providing step by step instructions for the girls who live out of town. I cannot recommend Yvonne's highly enough!

    From the moment I called Bridal Gallery by Yvonne I was pleased. Out of all the bridal shops I contacted to make appointments, they were the only ones that gave me additional information over the phone. They told me the starting prices of the dresses, what to expect for my first time dress shopping, and how many people they recommend bringing.
    As the day approached to dress shop I became incredibly nervous about shops not having my size (I'm considered plus size) or style. The first bridal shop I went to only had about 3 dresses for me; however, Yvonne's blew that number out of the water. They pulled out so many dresses for me to try on it was overwhelming (in a GREAT way though!). I loved nearly every dress that was pulled for me by my consultant, Janice. She even pulled a dress that I didn't think I would like and I ended up with that dress!
    Anyways, not only was the shop neat and clean, but I was in a private room which was great. In addition to this Janice was amazing. She alone made the experience what it was. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and just plain kind. She was this way not only with me (the bride) but with my 7 people that I brought! She listened to their opinions and what they were looking to see me in.
    I ended up canceling my other appointments for the day simply because how wonderful this experience was. I HIGHLY recommend this bridal shop and Janice. I walked out with the biggest smile on my face, a dress, veil and headband all for a great price!
    This shop is wonderful and Janice is wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this bridal shop.
    Lastly, I had brought all 5 of my bridesmaids and they had such a good experience, they said that they were going to be going there when they were ready for their wedding dress shopping. :)

    My experience at Bridal Gallery by Yvonne was absolutely great! I had such a great experience looking for my wedding dress here. They had a great selection and were able to show me dresses that met everything I was looking for. They helped me pick out perfect accessories. After I purchased my dress, they were able to provide alterations in house which was great. I would definitely recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne to friends and I am so happy I selected them for my wedding dress purchase.
