    Must Visit!

    I went to Gilded Rose on a whim because I saw they had an open appointment and had great reviews online. I went there on my first day trying on wedding dresses to see if I could try on different types of dresses, to find the style I liked most. I didn't expect to find my perfect dress there! The quality of dresses is top tier and each was more gorgeous than the last. I went back to Gilded Rose two more times to show off the dress to different people and they never pressured me to say yes or buy the dress in that moment. It was such a relief to try on dresses in an environment with no pressure, where I knew I was saying yes to the dress that I loved the most and at a place that cared about me as a person rather than just focusing on getting a sale. I told all my engaged friends that they must go to Gilded Rose to try on dresses!

    Sweet and wonderful!

    My experience at Gilded Rose Atelier was better than I could have hoped! A trunk show lead me to their shop, otherwise I might not have heard of them since I live in Wisconsin. I am so thankful to have said yes to my dress there! The space is beautiful, and by booking a private appointment, I had room to walk around and really experience the dress fully. Lulu helped me out, and she is the sweetest and made me feel comfortable, answered any questions I had, and offered her professional opinion in ways that really helped me make my final decision. It was a wonderful experience, so thank you!

    Overall amazing experience here!

    Loved my experience at Gilded Rose Atelier. Irene was a great consultant and helped pick out many dresses that were all within the style I described to her. She was very conscious of my budget which is really appreciated and I was able to find a stunning dress on my first visit! I am thrilled with my choice and would recommend this store to anyone looking for a lower budget dress, I bought one of the sample dresses which was still in great shape!

    Great Bridal Shop!

    My experience with Gilded Rose Atelier was amazing from the moment I called to request an accommodation for extra seating, which was given with no hesitation and kindness! When I first came to my appointment with my mother, grandmother and two sisters, I was immediately in love with the beauty of not only all of the dresses but the venue itself! Michelle greeted my entourage and I quickly and warmly. She asked what I envisioned to wear on my big day, as well as my budget and she quickly came back with 6 beautiful gowns for me to try on. The first gown she picked AND I tried on moved me to tears while leading to an emotional expression of acceptance from my family! They all were moved to tears and I felt like I had finally found my dream dress after trying on about 12 dresses prior at different Bridal shops. Michelle was so patient, knowledgable, and kind. I will recommend her and the shop to anyone I can!! I am so happy I saved the best for last ;)

    This Is Where I Said Yes!

    Gilded Rose Atelier was where I said yes to the dress! The space is beautiful and creates such a special atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and willing to work with any and all special requests! From their get-to-know-you questionnaire to their assistance in store, GRA did an amazing job getting to know me and what I needed. Lulu made my dream wedding dress a reality and I couldn't be more happy with the experience I had here.

    The perfect dress experience

    I cannot rave about Lulu and the staff at Gilded Rose enough. After having a less than ideal first dress experience, I came in looking for a fun day of trying on dresses. I left with my perfect wedding dress. Lulu was fun to chat with while switching dresses and offered her expertise on how I could customize each of the dresses to fit my style. She offered her superior assistance not only to me, but also to my mother and maid of honor who tried on dresses too! This boutique is a one stop shop for any bride-to-be for gorgeous dresses and service.

    Beyond Amazing!

    My experience was beyond amazing! At my first appointment we were greeted by owner, Lulu, who was so friendly and so welcoming! Lulu introduced us to Michelle, our consultant.

    Michelle was absolutely fantastic and so incredibly patient, kind, and helpful. After trying on many dresses, I asked Michelle to pull dresses for me I hadn’t tried and should consider. She found me the most perfect dress, that was ultimately “the one”!

    The entire process from start to finish was seamless. I could not recommend enough and I am so grateful for the expertise and kindness.

    Lulu and Michelle make a great team and I felt I was in the best hands every step of the way! I look forward to picking up my dress!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    I cannot give Gilded Rose enough gold stars! The entire experience was top-notch - from the private and intimate shopping experience, to getting to feel and select your own gowns, to the ample time they give you to move around, ask questions and play with alteration options, to the ZERO pressure shopping experience. I came back for a second try-on a few weeks after my initial appointment which gave me so much reassurance and confidence in making my decision. Michelle was an absolute GEM and I am so incredibly thankful for my experience with her. I will be recommend Gilded Rose to EVERY bride. THANK YOUUUUU!

    Found my wedding dress!

    I had a beautiful experience at Gilded Rose Atelier. The shop is absolutely stunning and Michelle our consultant was so accommodating!! They had a variety of styles and had a trunk show during the weekend I came which added even more dresses. I found a stunning dress at an affordable price. It was the first dress I tried on and kept comparing to it. Michelle never made us feel rushed. She picked out multiple dresses based on my interests, she fixed the dresses to show every angle, and I felt so comfortable with her while changing! You can also tell Lulu the owner is passionate about her store and that meant a lot to us. I shared this special moment with my mom and wouldn’t want it any other way. I wish I didn’t have to leave! Every bride in the area should visit Gilded Rose Atelier!

    Beautiful dresses, above-and-beyond helpfulness!

    Gilded Rose has an extensive and beautiful selection of dresses, and they have been beyond helpful throughout my dress selection and design process! We are making custom specification to my dress with the designer, and they are so on top of all communication and are making sure I feel very taken care of. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    The perfect experience!

    My experience shopping at Gilded Rose Atelier was perfect!! I found the shop when looking for dresses by Karen Willis Holmes and was delighted that they had so many of her styles. The actual appointment was so nice - I never felt rushed, we were the only ones there, and Michelle was so lovely to work with. I ended up wanting to see about a KWH dress they didn’t have, and they were able to order it for me to try on in the shop - and it turned out to be THE ONE! I’m so grateful for the excellent customer service. This bridal shop is a gem and I would highly recommend to any bride!
    PS they also have the cutest store dog, Benji - an added bonus to the experience!

    A Dream Experience

    I had a FANTASTIC experience at the Gilded Rose. Michelle was so easy to work with and gave candid opinions. The store has a beautiful selection, and I was able to find the dress of my dreams. They even worked with the designer so that I could get custom veil to match my dress. I can’t say enough about how great this experience was!!

    The best bridal boutique!!

    I had the absolute best experience finding my dress at Gilded Rose Atelier!!! The shop is gorgeous, the owner Lulu and my consultant Michelle were fabulous. Michelle listened carefully to my vision of what I was looking for and helped me pick out a bunch of dresses that I was beyond excited to try on. I seriously have never been to another boutique where I’ve found that many dresses that caught my eye, these ladies have impeccable taste. My mom and sister enjoyed their time as my entourage as well, especially since they were joined by Lulu’s adorable puppy, Benji. This was the 12th and thankfully last bridal boutique I visited and none of them compared to GRA. It was so exciting to say “YES” here and I would recommend this place to everyone!!!

    A dream experience and dress!

    I had my dream wedding dress shopping experience at Gilded Rose! The dress selection is unbeatable. They have the most unique dresses you’ve ever seen, but also something for the classic bride! Many dresses look couture, but are at a more attainable price point. You will truly get the VIP experience in a stunning, comfortable space. I couldn't be more thrilled to have gotten my dream dress here!

    Stunning collection, clean & chic shop, incredible owner/staff

    With only 5 months until we say “I Do” I was sure I was going to be purchasing off the rack. I was over the moon when I stepped into this adorable shop that opens up into an unbelievable bridal area. Not only were the owner and bridal consultant attentive, supportive and fun but they busted their butts to ensure the 2021 dress I fell in love with would not only be in on time but also we’re able to pair me with seamstress who is able to fit our schedule as well.
    A “must go” place to try on some exquisite gowns!!

    Best store in the suburbs!

    I have been here multiple times. The store is beautiful, very unique and spacious! My daughter bought her dress here, I bought a dress for myself for a party and we’ve bought gifts for friends and family members as well. The customer service is exceptional, they truly listen to what you want and not pushy at all. I super recommend this boutique!!
