Olivia Sent on 09/05/2023Look no further, Tanya has got you covered!
Whether you are booking Tanya for wedding day styling or an appointment at Gilded Social to find your dream dress, you will be in good hands. I have known and worked with Tanya for 3 years and have felt nothing but support from her in all aspects!
To start, the one-on-one approach you get from the start of this process makes it unlike any else. From booking my dress appointment Tanya reached out and had me send her dresses I was interested in trying on. She knew which one had been my absolute favorite so we tried that dress on FIRST and sure enough it was the winner! I love that Tanya stands behind the fact that trying on the favorite/top pick dress first. We continued to try on dresses and I even chose a second one for my reception because I loved it so much. At Gilded Social, your opportunities for customization are almost endless. Depending on the designer, you are able to customize and make the dress fit your exact vision, before you even step into alterations! We did custom sizing, which basically makes the dress fit better from top to bottom. My veil was almost completely customized by me, with Tanya’s help and guidance. We were able to add a blusher and order extra lace fabric that we had Mary Ellen add in alterations to the front of the veil, for a complete custom look. It felt amazing to have a hand in that process.
Now after having such an amazing dress appointment experience I knew I had to book Tanya’s wedding day styling services. I cant stress this enough, she saved the day SO many times!
I had already hired a wedding planner, and having Tanya was still absolutely necessary! She was able to communicate well with all vendors, making the experience ahead of time super simple for myself.
Tanya arrived the morning of the wedding to help steam and prep all dresses. She had even kept my 2 dresses stored because I did not have any room to store them myself. She brought two mannequins to display my dresses on for photos which was absolutely amazing to see! From getting ready to walking down the aisle, Tanya had everything covered. She went with us to the first look to help with my veil, she had everything to help in emergencies (fashion tape, wipes, deodorant, mints, you name it- she had it covered). She was able to help me with my dress and veil as well as my super heavy bouquet. She helped the entire wedding party with their dresses/suits, was able to tell the groomsmen which button to have undone, etc. Basically everything you do not want to think of/stress about as a bride, she had covered!
The wedding day would not go as smooth as it did without Tanya. I truly cannot express how amazing of a job she did at my wedding. If you made it this far, you might as well just book her!! -

Tanya went above and beyond to find the matching veil to my discontinued designer bridal gown. After being rejected by multiple bridal salons throughout the US, we found Gilded Social/Tanya who was able to reach out to the designer and have the discontinued veil handmade for us.
Behind the scenes, Tanya worked tirelessly to make alternate arrangements to have the veil made when the original shop it was being created in shut down due to COVID. She made sure everything was in order for us to get the veil in time for the wedding despite these unforeseen circumstances. She stayed in touch with us every step of the way to keep us informed on the progress.
The veil arrived in perfect condition; it was gorgeous and better than we even imagined!!
Tanya was absolutely wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend Gilded Social for any of your wedding needs!

Crisis averted!
My daughter was faced with a wedding day emergency. Due to state mandates and new COVID restrictions, two of her three bridesmaids dropped out on Wednesday. Luckily we were able to find replacements. Tanya Hartman from Gilded Social saved the day! Tanya brought several dresses in the style and color of the original dresses and a sewing machine. The new women were able to pick a dress they liked and Tanya hemmed them for us. She brought a portable steamer and she made sure all the dresses including the bride’s dress were pressed and beautiful. During the picture taking, Tanya also made sure that everyone’s hair was in place and clothing hung perfectly. Sometimes photographers look for faces not being in shadows and that everyone is visible but they don’t have time to worry about hair and clothing.
Tanya made it so I, as the bride’s mother, could just enjoy the day. Worth every penny to have her there.
Thank you Tanya and Gilded Social!! -

A main priority for me when I began my wedding planning was to use as many as I could, if not all, locally owned and operated vendors. A social media search lead me to Gilded Social. I saw that not only was it local and woman owned but that its focus was on the Bridesmaids which is very rare! Their website was filled with information to answer all my questions and I was able to conveniently make an appointment online. When the day arrived, my ladies and myself were greeted with an enthusiastic team who listened to what my vision was as well as the limitations I laid out and then curated their selections based on us. This was no easy feat as I had a lot of requests! Additionally, as we moved through the process they answered each question directly and with all the information we needed so we could make an informed decision (IE Delivery times, alteration costs etc). We were able to pick a gorgeous dress that fit all my wishes and looked beautiful on all my bridesmaids! The ladies of the shop did all the heavy lifting during the ordering process such as getting measurements, coordinating pickups and troubleshooting any issues that popped up. The ladies of Gilded Social gave me a warm, unique and stress free Bridesmaid Dress experience as well memories that I will cherish forever. I recommend and encourage every bride to reach out to Tanya and her team for not just beautiful dresses but also for the amazing experience! -

Tanya and her crew are the best of the best! They made my bridesmaid dress shopping experience a breeze. The shop is so fun and cute. They are very flexible and will do everything they can to help! I wasn’t sure exactly what I was looking for but they have tons of options and they know their stuff! I was able to find dresses that all of my girls were comfortable in, while still looking very elegant. Don’t waste your time anywhere else! Gilded is the BEST. -

Katrina M. Sent on 01/19/2020Beautiful shop! And beautiful dresses!
I rented the Gilded Social space as a get ready spot before my wedding. It turned out to be perfect. I loved having the beautiful and colorful dresses in the background to all my pictures of getting ready. The pictures resemble getting ready in the most beautiful dream closet you could imagine. In addition to the dresses being a beautiful backdrop, all of the furniture and fixturing in the space is very chic! It was wonderful to have a space that easily fit all 11 of us comfortably. The Gilded Social staff was extremely accommodating, friendly, and responsive to any of my questions. It made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. My bridesmaids also purchased their dresses from the shop! I was dead set on certain Jenny Yoo dresses for my girls and the Gilded Social was the only place in Columbus I could find them! I would recommend the Gilded Social for their dresses and rental space! :) -

As soon as we begin bridesmaid dress shopping, I knew I wanted to go to Gilded Social first!! I wanted each bridesmaid in a different dress but on the same color pallet.. this is not easy! Brit and Tonya were so patient as we raided their shop and tried on so many dresses! Brit helped us design the most beautiful mix and match dresses I could have imagined! I will forever refer my friends to Gilded Social for any formal occasion! So happy to be part of the#gildedtribe
Thank you both for all you hard work for my big day! -

Due to a series of events I was a week away from a wedding and in need of a new bridesmaid dress. Tanya was amazing, she pulled a TON of sample dresses for me in the color I needed and even helped make sure I was able to get the dress altered in time! The shop has so many options, that it was no problem finding a great dress for any occasion - I’ve purchased a made to order dress before from here for my anniversary and it was such a hit as well. There’s a reason they are THE fancy occasion shop. I will definitely be coming back in the future whenever I have a fancy event to go to!
