  Life IS better Gilded - the perfect bridal dress shopping experience!

  I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Gilded Bridal! Susan and Makenzie were both so lovely! I worked with Susan on my first visit, and all the intimidation I felt about dress shopping before we arrived was gone within a few minutes of meeting her. She is knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and so much fun. She made the experience enjoyable and all-around wonderful! She really listens and attunes to you and tailors the experience. She paid attention to everything I said about our wedding, what I wanted, and what I did or didn't like with each particular dress I picked out to try on, and then helped me find exactly what I wanted within my budget and timeframe. I thought I wanted a specific style and shape of dress, but after starting to try on the ones I picked out, I realized what I thought I wanted wasn't hitting the mark. I'd like the bodice, but not the skirt, or I'd love the neckline, but not the shape/cut/fabric. Susan was paying close attention to everything I was saying, and brought in a dress I hadn't nor would I have picked to try, and it was PERFECT! I felt beautiful, elegant, glamorous, and comfortable, so much so that I didn't want to take it off! She figured out what type of dress I wanted before I did, and then found the one for me; she is truly exceptional at what she does!
  
  When I came back for a second try on, ordering and measurements, Susan was out of town at the NYC Bridal Fashion Week, and she arranged for me to meet with Makenzie. Makenzie was also amazing to work with, professional, knowledgeable, so enjoyable to be around, and accommodating. Now that I had decided on the dress, she helped me order, got my measurements, and then helped to advise on different veil styles and options, and even bridesmaid dresses!
  
  I visited other bridal shops in the area, and none of them came close to comparing to my experiences with Susan and Makenzie at Gilded Bridal. Life truly is Better Gilded!

  Amazing bridal salon and experience

  Susan was incredible to work with! When I walked into Gilded I was a bit overwhelmed by the selection as there are so many dresses to choose from, and she took the time to ask what I was looking for and my budget, before helping me find a few dresses to initially try on. I actually chose the first dress I tried on as it was the absolute perfect one. I also purchased earrings and hair accessories when I picked up my dress a few months later, and was so happy with their selection. The entire experience working with the Gilded team was incredible.

  Loved Gilded

  This was my second salon of the day, I showed my consultant my favorite dress from the first shop & she sussed out what qualities were important to me & showed me the perfect leveled-up version of that dress. I felt very comfortable the entire time & had an overall great experience! I can't wait for my dress to come in so I can put it back on!

  My Second Bridal Appointment and my Last

  I had such a good experience here at Gilded Bridal. We walked in and were greeted and told to look around. We were early and we had no problems with this as someone else was finishing up their consultation. While looking at the dresses, at first we didn't feel like anything jumped out at us, but we were still excited. We were brought to our private room and immediately felt comfortable. It is such a nice touch after being at other studios that are all open. Our consultant came in and asked us various questions about what we liked and didn't like. She picked out a few dresses and a few surprises. She wanted us to try on things we usually would not pick, and I am so happy she did! Because of this, we found my dress. It was something that looked so different on the rack vs on and if it weren't for her expertise, we would never have but also fit what made me feel comfortable. The whole experience was good from start to finish. I am so happy to be a Gilded Bride with the help from Pamela. I am so excited to see the dress. I highly recommend booking an appointment.

  found: elven warrior queen

  I am non-traditional and went to the salon to try on shapes, maybe find a gown, if they had something exquisite that highlighted the elven queen I am. The stylist was amazing and immediately knew what I was looking for. We tried on several shapes and landed on one that was amazing. The gown I tried on was so..... close... and as the stylist added pieces I could see the strong, fun, elven queen in me shining through. it was an amazing experience. we could genuinely feel the stylists excitement as all of the pieces came together. I am over the moon excited and thrilled.

  Dream Gown & Experience

  Pamela and the Gilded Bridal team went above and beyond my expectations. My mom and I both had a lot of questions around the types/qualities of fabric and without hesitation and with patiences, they were answered by the Gilded Bridal team. You have your own private room, provide details/context as to what you are looking for then get to take a peak at the inventory on the floor and select as many styles as you'd like. I did not feel any pressure trying on the dresses, I felt comfortable in my own skin and trying the dresses on. The gown that I did in fact choose, Pamela found for me. It's a moment and experience I will never forget, thanks to Gilded Bridal.

  The kindest and most wonderful!

  I had an amazing experience at Gilded Bridal. I was SO anxious about my wedding dress, and was so grateful for the calm and affirming atmosphere of Gilded. Even as I put on a white gown for the first time, their staff kept me grounded. With the help of their staff, I found the dress of my dreams -- one that made me feel confident and beautiful in my own skin.

  Wonderful experience!!

  Got my wedding dress and veil! The whole experience was so nice and easy. Was able to bring in a loaner gown from a designer I wanted. They where more then happy to accommodate that for me. I ended up getting a veil from them too which I’m super excited about!! The space is beautiful, with huge private dressing room that make it feel so luxurious. Would 100% recommend!!

  Absolutely Wonderful

  I cannot recommended Gilded enough. I found them on Instagram a few months before getting engaged and after scrolling through I knew that I had to pay them a visit. Their messages about inclusivity really made me feel like I was in great hands, and I truly was. Susan was my stylist and she was an actual Fairy Godmother. I discussed my dress anxieties with her and she made me feel SO comfortable and reassured me that I would find a dress that I loved. And I did! The salon itself was so beautiful and the private rooms were a huge bonus, especially during COVID times. It was truly such a wonderful experience that I wish I could relive day after day. Thank you Gilded!

  Great experience at Gilded!

  I had a wonderful experience at Gilded looking for, and ultimately finding the perfect dress. They made the experience so much fun and helped me narrow down my options and we found exactly what I had imagined for myself. They also assisted me with communicating with the designer to add buttons to the back and alter the neckline to be a more comfortable depth for me. They were so helpful and kind via email and phone regarding ordering extra lace as well for my veil. Would highly recommend!!

  Dream experience

  I highly recommend Gilded for finding the perfect wedding dress. I was blown away by the quality of the selection. McKenzie was an INCREDIBLE consultant. She listened carefully to my preferences and had a strong grasp of the available inventory. When I was between two dresses, she found a third option that married all of my favorite parts of the two I was stuck between into the perfect dress for me. She also stayed after closing so I could swing back by to put the dress back on one last time before committing to it. I really couldn't have asked for anything more from my wedding dress shopping experience. The shop is gorgeous, the inventory is clearly very carefully and artfully curated, and the staff was so helpful and knowledgable. I'm so thrilled about every single moment of my experience at Gilded!

  They stood out among all the other bridal salons

  Though the dresses are on the more expensive end, I definitely feel like I got what I paid for. They have the dresses and service of a super high end boutique, but the vibe and people were chill and down to earth enough for me to be totally comfortable. Also they let me and my friends go through the dresses ourselves and pick the favorites which was AMAZING considering at other places someone picked dresses for me and I didn't always feel they clearly understood what I wanted. I'm so happy with my dress and can't wait to wear it!

  Beautiful and laidback boutique

  I have nothing but positive words to say about Gilded Bridal. I was drawn to their choice of using independent designers. Their boutique is gorgeous and their dresses are one of a kind, out of this world! Lauren was my consultant and she was very knowledgeable, pulled a variety of dresses that would flatter my body type all while staying cognizant of my budget. When I picked up my dress, Susan, the owner, is as friendly as she can be and gave great styling tips. If you're a bride in Raleigh, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Gilded and I can't wait to walk down the aisle in my dream dress! Proud to be a #gildedbride

  Found the perfect dress!

  Susan and Mackenzie were both amazing and I had a wonderful experience finding my dream dress. On my first appointment Susan was a great listener and helped me pull a variety of dresses. I loved the way she put me at ease. It was obvious she loves what she does and I felt like she answered all my questions and also gave me plenty of time to decide what I loved and what I didn’t with each dress I tried on. I didn’t feel rushed at all and I loved the way I naturally came to the conclusion of which dress fit my personality and style best! On my second appointment I brought back my mom, grandmother, and 2 month old daughter. I was nervous to bring the baby but they assured me it would be ok. Mackenzie pulled my top two dresses so I could re-try them on for my family. From there we re-confirmed the favorite and Mackenzie helped me finalize the look with the perfect belt and hair clip. In the end I said YES to my dress and the journey to find the one was perfect! Thank you Gilded Girls for making me feel so special!

  Great experience

  So glad I found Gilded Bridal! I had a great experience throughout the entire process from selecting my dress until delivery. I really didn't know which bridal shop to visit when I first started dress shopping but then got a referral from our photographer, Chris Nieto, and was so glad I checked them out. They have a wide selection of dresses from different designers and I when I tried on the Isolde from Tara Lauren I knew it was the one! Every staff member that assisted me was very helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I ended up needing a split size with my dress (smaller size on top/larger on bottom). I appreciated the attention to detail with my measurements and sizing to in turn have less alterations that would need to be done. Gilded Bridal also has beautiful accessories and I was able to find the perfect hair piece to complement my dress. Overall I would highly recommend Gilded Bridal for the big day!

  Dream come true at Gilded

  The place I found my dream dress!

  I’m so grateful to the helpful staff of Gilded Bridal! I came in with some ideas about how my gown should look that I was sure couldn’t be compromised— and they definitely made sure to show me anything in the shop that may fit the bill. But, at their suggestion, I tried on one that I would have otherwise eliminated off the bat for being strapless. I can’t imagine having gotten married in any other dress. it was perfect, and I’m filled with joy every time I see a photo of it. That said, before I was absolutely sure I’d picked the one I wanted, the staff promptly answered all my (perhaps excessive) emails and wrote up two additional invoices to help me compare gown costs before I made my final decision. From beginning to end, they want the extra mile to make sure I got my dream gown. I’ve included a photo from the day I picked it out, as well as two photos taken by Java Rose Photography on the big day. Thank you, Gilded!

  Beautiful dresses, great service!

  I bought my wedding dress at Gilded after looking at several other shops in DC and NC. I thought Gilded had by far the best selection of designers and the service was friendly but never pushy. I had no idea what I wanted, but Susan and her staff really helped me narrow down my options and find the perfect dress for my classic, clean aesthetic. Furthermore, when the pandemic hit, Susan was very sweet and patient with me. I highly recommend!

  Excellent Customer Service

  I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gilded-but I am going to try! The store is absolutely stunning, the dressing rooms are huge with plenty of room for everyone and they make you feel like a princess! But, hands down, the customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. Jensen immediately greeted me at the door and I truly felt like she listened to everything thing I was looking for in my dream dress and did everything she could to help me find it. Although I didn't find my dream dress that day, she took the time to write down the names of some other nearby bridal salons that she felt carried what I was looking for. I cannot recommend them enough!

  OBSESSED with Gilded Bridal!

  I had the absolute best experience at Gilded! The space is gorgeous, chic, and relaxing all at the same time. Makenzie was so helpful, encouraging, and made trying on dresses the fun day I have always dreamed about. Makenzie even ended up pulling another dress which is the dress I ended up buying. Makenzie is amazing and Gilded is where you want to go to try on unique, romantic, chic bridal gowns. I wish I could go everyday! Lol you will not be disappointed!

  Everything you want for your wedding dress

  I had the best experience at Gilded Bridal. The atmosphere was so pleasant, friendly and the team makes you feel very special for your big day. The team also made great suggestions and the set up in the fitting room was what you would hope for a fitting. I highly recommend making an appointment.

  If you live in North Carolina, you MUST go here

  this was the most fun, wonderful, and easiest experience dress shopping. I booked my appointment here because I was drawn by there down to earth vibe and Gilded is local for me. I thought I could just get a sense of what dress shopping was like. I walked out an hour later with my wedding dress. Seriously. They're THAT good.
