I rented the getting ready space at Gilded Social to get ready for my wedding since my venue wasnt accessible until 3 PM, and my apartment was small. The space was very pretty, and provided plenty of photo op. The diffused lighting was perfect for photos.Tanya was very flexible throughout the booking process, letting us work on making our bouquets in the kitchen space and accommodating my schedule changes. Ashley, the girl who was in charge of helping us during the day of, was very nice and helpful.This would be a great option for anyone who doesnt have a bridal suite at the venue, and do not want to book a hotel room or an airbnb.

I rented their space to get ready for my wedding. It was the perfect spot for me and my two bridesmaids to do our hair and makeup. The ladies working were very sweet and helpful. They steamed our dresses and they looked wonderful. I worked with Tanya throughout the reservation process and she was great. We had to change our wedding date and she was so accommodating and communicative!There did seem to be another person/group there, possibly shopping or trying on dresses, but luckily our getting ready space was on the other side of the store so it didn’t interfere with our day at all. Just something to be prepared for that may happen!

I loved my experience at Gilded Social! From picking the different looks of each bridesmaids dress; to the staff and their professional expertise. Communication with Gilded Social was fabulous during our once postponed wedding, with many updates on the dresses I had ordered. Wouldn’t have been able to complete the look of our wedding without them!

Wow, there are no words that can completely describe my wonderful experience with Gilded Social and its owner, Tanya. I found the Amsale dress that I wanted online. The manufacturer ran out of stock on hand and had a long order timeline. I live in Utah and could find no retailers in my state who carried the dress. I did a nationwide search and found Gilded Social as a carrier of Amsale. I emailed regarding the dress and was contacted immediately by Tanya. (BTW, this was their week off and the store was closed). She agreed to sell me her sample dress, went into the store on her time off and overnighted the dress to me. As a sample it was the wrong size, but she had me send pictures of me in the dress and then gave me advice regarding alterations. It turned out beautifully! I was absolutely stunned by the amazing customer service that I received. I seriously contacted 10+ stores nationwide and none gave me the response I received from Gilded Social. Gilded Social, you have made me a friend and customer for life. Thank you, Tanya, for making my wedding dress dream come true!

I had a wonderful experience at Gilded Social and recommend them to any bridesmaids and mother of bride/groom who are looking for dresses. After I scheduled the appointment I had a call with Tanya to discuss the price point and style we would be looking for. At the store we worked with Britt and she was so kind, helpful, and professional. She selected several great options for my MOH and mom to try on. The dresses were fairly priced and arrived in the estimated delivery window. Most importantly, everyone looked beautiful on the wedding day!

Gilded Social Bridal Shop saved me! I needed a dress to be sent to Mexico and they went above and beyond to get it to me in a very quick time frame. Tanya talked me through every step and was always readily available, plus my dress got here without the slightest scratch. Im so thankful to have had the Gilded Social help me with this, and I really recommend this service to anyone who needs help shipping a dress! Thank you Gilded Social!

Gilded social is so incredible. I had a major issue with a dress and Tanya, the owner stepped up and helped in a big way. I will never forget the kindness and urgency that was shown to my situation. It’s such a rare thing and I am forever grateful 💕

Gilded Social was absolutely wonderful to work with when selecting bridesmaid dresses for my wedding! With 11 bridesmaids, and the majority living out of town and in different states, Tonya and Brit made the process seamless! Brit really listened to my vision and brought it to life with the colors and texture I wanted. They worked with each girl to ensure they had accurate dress sizes and arranged for delivery for those out of town. The dresses were gorgeous and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Since the wedding, I’ve been back to order dresses for special occasions!

Finding bridesmaids dresses for 8 girls is no small task, especially when you want to mismatch both style and color! The ladies at Gilded Social went above and beyond in helping me find dresses to flatter girls of every size, shape, and skin tone. They even helped my mom find a dress to complement our colors, too! The appointment felt personal and wasnt rushed, even though we picked out so many dresses (and I changed my mind so many times). I cannot recommend them enough!

I came with my future mother-in-law and sister-in-law to look for MOG and bridesmaid dresses. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Gilded Social! My MIL is not the most body positive (about herself), and Tanya listened to her concerns, and pulled several dresses that my MIL felt good and comfortable in. They also let my SIL try on bridesmaid dresses during the appointment, and she ended up finding several she liked. Im someone who really only shops online, and Ive got to say this was SO MUCH BETTER!

I first found the Gilded Social website when I was desperately searching online for a readymade bridesmaid dress. Their site has some great samples available, but I was concerned about bridal sizing and buying something final sale. My wedding had been postponed twice due to Covid, I had a change of bridal party at the 11th hour, and I needed a dress to complement the existing bridesmaid dress I had... Even though the original dresss designer didnt make the same color anymore. It was a bit of a headache and I was grasping at straws.I reached out to Gilded Social via email, even though the store was halfway across the country from me.To my surprise the shop owner, Tanya, responded right away. She was SO friendly and helpful and kind, it blew my mind! I live in LA and you just dont find that out here - even the local bridesmaid shop where I bought the first dress was like well, its too late to order custom so theres not much we can do.Tanya and I spoke on the phone and she jumped into action, sending me a ton of amazing options and ideas and literally doing everything in her power to help me find a solution. She sent me photos of dresses and fabric colors, she came up with creative ways to make sizes that were too small work (combining two dresses with the same fabric), and helped me figure out my friends size in the bridal sizing world. I couldnt have asked for a more gracious and wonderful person to help make a difficult situation into something totally manageable... And as a bride, ANY stress relief is such a gift! Tanya made me feel like she had this covered - and she did!Honestly I cant say enough good things about Gilded Social. I wish I was getting married twice so I could order my gown through her! But Tanya will most definitely be my first call whenever I need a beautiful dress. She is the best of the best. Dont hesitate to contact her if you want to be in the most capable and kind hands with all your wedding needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

After the longest search, my bridesmaids got their dresses from Gilded Social! They were very helpful and patient throughout the entire process. We had an issue with the fit of one of the dresses, and the shop owner called me personally to try to figure out a solution (which is not easy, since the dresses cant be returned and are all in the same dye lot). I whole heartedly recommend them to any bride - the selection is AMAZING, and I cant wait to go back whenever I need a special occasion dress myself!

Review №14

My experience here was not a great one. I will not go back and I won’t recommend this place. They put me in a size 10, normally I am a 2 or a 4. Even the lady who tailored my dress said that it was crazy that they put me in such an oversized dress. She had to take off NINE inches from the bottom and even more at the bust. They were not very friendly both times I was in there, working in customer service you’d think that being kind and welcoming would be their top priority. It honesty felt like they just wanted my money and to get me in and out as quickly as possible.

We had a wonderful experience with Tanya at Gilded Social shopping for a Mother of the Groom dress. She was prepared for the appointment and understood exactly what we were going for. Tanya was patient and professional in the process, offering her opinion without being pushy. There was a huge selection of gorgeous dresses to chose from. We are so happy we went to Gilded Social and thankful to Tanya for the great experience! Highly recommend!

I was in search of a specific colored bridesmaid dress and had questions about styles due to my pregnant - changing body, and the team at Gilded Social worked MIRACLES! Seriously. I worked directly with Tanya who was patient, understanding and got me the most perfect dress! She is very efficient, responsive and not to mention so sweet! She made this process I was nervous for SO incredibly easy. I am beyond thankful for her help and services and cannot wait to receive my dress!!!!!

My bridesmaids and I shopped the sample sale at Gilded Social for my Sept. 2019 wedding. Tanya and the team were so easy to work with and gave great insights on all the dresses. Not to mention the selection (sample and regular dresses) was gorgeous! Definitely make this a top stop for dress shopping. (Note: the two light blue dresses in the photo came from Gilded Social.)

I had a great experience with Tanya at Gilded Social! I just ordered a bridesmaids dress late in the game, and the designer only had a size S or XL left... of course I needed a Medium. I live in New York so Tanya asked about other brands/dress in my closet to get a better idea of my size while contacting the designer to see what they could do. She ended up having the designer take out the Small dress according to my actual measurements before they even shipped it out. It just arrived and fits like a glove! So happy I didn’t end up with an XL that needed tons of tailoring.

Wedding day at Gilded Social was amazing! Your space was so inviting and your staff was very helpful, but stepped back and let us do our thing. Any time I had a question or needed something, they were right there to assist. Please thank them for me.Let me just say, the natural light that came through the windows in the back room where we did hair and makeup took my breath away! I would have loved to take more pictures at your shop but time passed so quickly, I didn’t think about pictures.I will discuss your amazing service with Emily, Alyssa’s wedding coordinator. I’m sure she will want to recommend Gilded Social to future brides.

We knew immediately that these bridesmaids were wearing dresses from the Gilded Social. Beth and I have photographed weddings were bridesmaids dresses are just meh...Gilded Social dresses are just incredible and always look incredible on the women. That is due to the knowledge of the dresses that Tanya provides to her customers.

Where to begin?! The gals at Gilded Social are AMAZING to work with. I have been so lucky to have them throughout my wedding process. I have had the pleasure of working with Brit, Tanya and Erin on several occasions. From pre-COVID, in person appointments for bridesmaid dresses, to virtual appointments, to pre-wedding space rentals and day of dressing. Each and every experience has been so easy.When it came time to pick out my bridesmaids dresses, I thought I had an idea of what I wanted and Brit really took the time to help me figure out what look I was going for. She helped me to pick styles that would suit all of my bridesmaids and colors that would mix and match beautifully together, along with my own blush colored dress.During COVID when I needed to find a bridesmaid dress for another wedding, Brit was able to FaceTime with me so we could talk about what the Bride was looking for. I then picked up the samples to take home and try on, and returned when finished.Tanya was there for me throughout the craziness of planning a wedding during a pandemic, and provided so much knowledge and insight that I wouldnt have gotten anywhere else. She asked me a lot of questions and really helped me to be more organized with my vendors.For the day of my wedding, I rented space at Gilded Social for my bridal party to get ready. The space is full of natural light and cozy places to lounge while waiting for hair and makeup. The girls help to make sure dresses are steamed and put on correctly and I was able to bring in food and bubbly!I also utilized Tanyas Day of Dressing Service. She helped to style my dresses and accessories for pictures (her store is amazing for this), she made sure that my dress was always lying correctly along with my veil. She helped to carry my dress and veil during pictures so my MOH didnt have to worry about it. Tanya came to my final dress appointment to make sure she understood how to bustle my dress-- this took the pressure off of my mom and sister after the ceremony and pictures. They could mingle with guests and enjoy a cocktail! My photographers are AMAZING (Azar Photography)- but she is an extra set of hands and eyes to quickly move about for hair fixes or dress adjustments between photos. She never got in the way.I would not hesitate to go back to Gilded Social for dresses in the future!

Amazing service from start to finish! I had picked out the perfect mother of the groom dress, but unfortunately no stores in my city had my size in stock. I found Gilded Social on Instagram- check them out! Tanya was able to work her magic to locate the dress in my size and color and ship it to me. I appreciate her great communication and personalized service. I had a great experience and highly recommend Gilded Social.

I met Tanya at Harvest Pizzeria where I was working at the time. I happened to mention that I was getting married in Jackson Hole, WY and she was so excited to share that she also got married in Jackson Hole and had wedding pictures taken at the exact spot my husband I were getting married. Tanya gave me recommendations and suggestions about different vendors in Wyoming. I only had a maid of honor (my sister), who had already gotten her dress, but my mom was on the hunt for a dress. I brought her into Gilded Social to look. Tanya was very helpful and presented many options within our color palette. The shop is beautiful with great lighting, which helps you feel good and pick the dress that suits you best. Im so happy we decided to shop here. My mom looked beautiful :) I will definitely be back for any special occasions in the future.

I had a great experience working with Gilded for a company photo shoot! They were very welcoming and coordinated the dresses with the theme beautifully. Not to mention that the dresses themselves were amazing! The girls made sure each of us were in dresses that we not only felt comfortable in, but that were also super flattering on us. Next time Im in need of a gown I will definitely go here!

My wedding day could not have been without the AMAZING services from Gilded Social!!!! I went in with one vision, and throughout my appointment for my girls to pick out their dresses, I had second thoughts about the color. After what was probably their longest appointment ever, the ladies at Gilded Social never gave up on my vision, but rather they elevated that vision, and I had the most beautiful, elegant, dreamy day. My girls looked like models, and all thanks to Gilded Social!!! Everyone needs to experience first hand the commitment from this boutique!

Working with Gilded Social was a breeze! We had about 13 girls of all sizes needing to be dressed and didnt hesitate to reach out to Tanya!

10 Stars for GS and the fabulous ladies there!! Recently, our company organized our styled photoshoot for the upcoming volume of The Scout Guide. Tanya at GS, was so incredibly gracious to lend ALL dresses for us ladies to wear in the shoot, AND personally helped each of us find the right dress that we will feel beautiful and comfortable in :) I happened to love mine so much that I bought it!! Sometimes you just have to buy the dress.I was fitted on Tuesday and received my dress on Friday. Pick-up was seamless. Tanya went above and beyond and came to our photoshoot prepared with clips and pins just in case we needed anything and to help make these photos great. Her shop is beautiful and the dress selection is extensive and has something for everyone. Ladies, if you are needing something extra special for that extra special event, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment at Gilded Social - you will love your experience, I did. Cheers!!

I had an amazing experience virtually shopping for my bridesmaid’s dress with Tanya! During our zoom call, she was able to show the bridal party all of our dress options, as well as a detailed description of what each dress felt and fit like, which was so important for all of our different body types. After we made our decision, she sent us each a very detailed email with how to measure ourselves at home and how to complete the online order form. She made it so easy for us!! So happy that we were able to use Gilded Social even during these trying times.

I’ve ordered several different items from Gilded Social and all have been amazing! I got a sample sale dress when I was a bridesmaid that was super easy to alter and way cheaper than online boutiques! I also won a sample sale dress in their dress bracket challenge last year that I wore to a wedding rehearsal dinner and would be perfect for any spring and summer event. I only had to have it hemmed. My last dress from Gilded Social was another sample sale masterpiece that was more gorgeous than any dress I’ve owned! I just ordered earrings from their Bauble Bar collaboration and they’re super cute and came right away in the mail. Shout out to this FABULOUS locally owned small business!

Review №37

The atmosphere was great however my experience could not have been more terrible. I would give them 0 stars if I could. They only have small dress sizes in stock so if you arent really skinny then forget having a dress option you can actually get on. This leaves you having to use your best judgement when they measure you for a dress. I was told I would fit perfectly into the dress I ordered on my to find out when I received the dress that it was probably 3-4 dress sizes too large for me and that on the paper every single box checked said it would be too big. No one ever told me this when I was purchasing the dress. Communication was absolutely terrible and the only vibe I got from this place was that they only care about the money.The dress is now going to cost more to alter than it did to purchase and when I contacted GS about this they did not offer me any way to help. They refused to help me exchange the dress even though it is Entirely their fault that my dress does not fit. Terrible customer service and terrible experience here. DO NOT GO HERE!!! Every bridesmaid so far has had their dress be way too big and it has been an extremely disappointing and stressful experience to say the least. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else

I walked into Gilded Social with a vision of what I wanted my bridesmaids to wear. Within minutes Tanya pulled an array of options from multiple designers that were in-tune with what I was looking for. It was so much fun to curate a collection of dresses, all in the same color and fabric, that my bridesmaids could choose from! And let me tell ya, the look turned out AMAZING! I was worried about too many of my girls choosing the same dress, but Gilded Social took care of managing the number of girls in each style for me so I didnt have to be the bad guy (thank you!). Gilded Social has the cutest shop! I was so happy to be supporting a local business and thankful that they made it so easy for my out of town bridesmaids to get measured, order and receive their dresses. I couldnt be happier with how the dresses turned out! Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance along the way!

Good selection but the customer service could use some work. Maybe the girl was having an off day. She did her job but the friendliness that you usually get from a bridal shops wasnt there. Definitely check out their final sale rack. Worth it if you can find a dress in your size. If you bring in a formal dress to donate you get $25 off.

Too bad 0 isnt an option. What kind of business sues the state of Ohio because the state is trying to protect the health and safety of everyone!?! Is selling dresses really more important than people staying alive and well? You think you are the only business struggling right now? Businesses all over the country are struggling but they arent suing their government. If we all were to sue the state because we dont like our current situation, where would that leave us? You are deplorable. Get creative and find a way to keep your business afloat like other companies are doing. Dont be so freaking lazy.

I went to Gilded Social for their sample sale and I was so impressed with their shop. The store is decorated so beautifully, it gave me such an elevated experience. As store works by reservation, except for the sample sale, the store felt intimate and peaceful and I felt like I was able to have their full attention. The sample sale itself had several gorgeous dresses in all sizes, but I have to say I was super envious I had already had my wedding and was not in the market for bridesmaids dresses. Their regularly stocked collection was large, filled with all kinds of silhouettes, colors and materials. I ended up with a lovely tulle skirt and I think even if you arent in the market for bridesmaids dresses its worth checking out Gilded Social for any formal dress needs!

I cant thank Gilded Social enough for helping me pick the perfect bridesmaid dresses. I was very stressed about the mix and match concept having 6 bridesmaids from 5 different cities in 4 different states, but they were so helpful at Gilded Social and had SO many options to choose from.

I LOVE GILDED SOCIAL! My sister had a vision of doing a true mix-and-match for her bridesmaids. Im talking we were all in different colors and styles COMPLETELY. Ive had so many friends try to do this, and it turn into a stressful experience for the bridesmaids because the bridesmaids dont have direction, feel overwhelmed, etc. But let me tell you what. We walked into Gilded, and they were so wonderful and welcoming and fabulous at seeing my sisters vision and in helping us create a true mix-and-match look that was also cohesive and absolutely stunning. We had a blast looking through all their different styles and putting together the 5 looks. As the maid-of-honor, I of course loved trying on all of their amazing dresses (THE SELECTION IS INCREDIBLE!) and all the other girls in the bridal party loved the simplicity of the process!!! Thank you, Gilded for making this mix-and-match vision come true with such ease!!! Honestly, the women at Gilded make you feel like youre right at home, I felt like they became my besties!! HIGHLY recommend!

The stylist who helped me find a dress was very knowledgeable about the designers of the dresses they have and how they will fit on me.

My experience at Guilded Social shopping, ordering, and customizing the perfect flower girl dress for my daughter was a perfect 10. Excellent and unique selection, seamless and swift service, and the extra TLC to source *just* the right extra tulle in the perfect color to complement the bridal party and adorn her basket. It’s all about the details, and Tanya and her team nailed them all, seemingly effortlessly, AND at great value. If I could go back in time and do-over my own wedding, I’d use Guilded Social in a heartbeat for my entire bridal party, and even my own dresses!

I used gilded social for my mix and match bridesmaid dresses for my wedding this past April! I had an idea of what I wanted but wasn’t sure how I wanted it all to come to life. Gilded social had a great balance of listening to my vision and also providing some of their own expertise along the way! They helped me narrow down my options from their expansive selection and point me into the right collection that would be perfect for each girl in my party. I love that every single one of my girls was able to pick a style that they felt great in! AND that they had plus size sample dresses...that is sooo hard to find and can make the experience so yucky for so many people. The shop is cute and fun and the team was always SO fast to respond to my emails and let me come in 3-4 times before I found the perfect fit. If you live in Columbus, give it a go! They also do a great job of accommodating out of state bridesmaids (which was over half of my party). It’s a fun experience and you’ll rest assured here that you made the right choice, it all came together so beautifully on the big day!

Such a great store. The dress selection is extensive and the staff is so hospitable. They always make you feel taken care of when you’re there. I have enjoyed myself every time I’ve visited. It’s so great to have just one place to go to for all of the ladies and girls in our wedding shopping for dresses.

Refused to schedule an appointment because our budget was too low ($200 or less) after being told they have dresses from the $150 range. All bridesmaids would be willing to pay more for the right dress but they just lost our business. The associate suggested that one of us come in first(we live 2.5 hours away) to look at all the dresses in our range and then make a decision about bringing everyone else in. Thumbs down.

The Gilded Social team make it their personal mission to support you and your bride tribe as you search for the perfect gown(s) for your special day. Having a bridal party of diverse bodies, preferences, and styles, coming to this shop, we were so incredibly fortunate to work with Tanya (their incredible owner) who really took the time to understand what I, as a bride, wanted in my vision for my wedding, and also let the personal preferences of my bridesmaids flourish among the many racks of exquisite, unique, and stunning gowns.Not only did we have excellent service when we came to our appointment, we also had constant and clear communication with the team in the ordering and pick-up process. We were always clear on timelines, and everything arrived perfectly. I cannot recommend Gilded Social enough - it is a perfect haven for any bride and bridal party (whether you are a type-A fully planned bride or have no idea what you want). I am anxiously waiting the next special occasion on my calendar so I have an excuse to return and search through their impeccably curated collection of gowns!

I was first a bride working with Gilded social, and now a bridesmaid for my best friends wedding! My friend came with me when I was picking out my bridesmaid dresses and she loved the experience so much, she didn’t think twice on where to go for her own wedding. She knew the designer she wanted to go with, but Tanya helped recommend which styles were most flattering and what would work for each body type. She also helped guide my friend towards a color and gave good advice on what would work in different lightings. I can’t wait to see the dresses once they come in! I know her bride tribe will look great thanks to Gilded Social!

I came to the shop with my mom I search for a Mother of the Bride dress and our experience was fantastic! The shop is so cute, efficient, and informative. Tanya was even able to accommodate my moms indecisiveness with a last minute appointment and plenty of quick options!

I recently ordered a bridesmaid dress from a different company and they lost it. In a serious bind, with less than 2 weeks to find a replacement dress, I called Gilded Social to help. I went to college with the owner, Tanya Hartman and I knew if there was one person who could help, it would be her. Tanya was meant to have this shop-for her serious love of weddings and her incredible attention to detail. Needless to say, Gilded Social was able to make the impossible happen. They tracked down a new dress for me! I could not recommend this shop more and I sincerely appreciate the care I received from them.

I worked with Gilded Social in ordering a maternity dress for a photoshoot and absolutely loved my experience from start to finish. I first saw the dress on their well-curated social media feed and was then able to try on the the exact dress before ordering. I love that Gilded offers a collection that spans way beyond just bridesmaids dresses. Thinking about ordering a cute jumpsuit from them for an event this fall!

The second you walk into Gilded Social it feels like a private appointment where it’s all about you and the bridesmaids unlike other locations where there are multiple appointments going on at one time. The Tanya takes the time to hear your vision and make it come to life with the amazing selection of dresses available. This is a really unique and special experience for brides looking for bridesmaid dresses. No where else like it in Columbus!

Such a wonderful store! Ladies, I highly recommend visiting here for your bridesmaid/special occasion dresses! As a wedding planner, its so hard finding stores for my brides where the dresses are unique and are great quality. GS has a wonderful selection of BEAUTIFUL dresses, and I love sending my brides here! The atmosphere is welcoming, super cute, and they have great service.

I chose guilded social as a bride, one of my bridesmaids loved them so much that she chose to work with them as a bride as well. So I became a bridesmaid! They are so accommodating and easy to work with during the chaos of wedding planning their flexibility and customer service is so appreciated! It was so nice to build a relationship with them and for them to be so helpful and honest when picking which style was best for me!

The ladies at Gilded Social are awesome!!! very patient and accommodating. Had such a fun time with my bridesmaids, selecting gowns. Great selection too. Each of my girls was able to find a dress that flattered her in my blush color scheme. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Tonya is by far the most helpful person on the planet. I went into Guilded Social to check out their options to rent for my engagement shoot. Not only did I find a great outfit for my shoot, but my rehearsal dinner dress as well. They literally have everything!Aside from the fantastic business she is running, Tonya has been a great resource as I move forward with wedding planning. Since she’s been in this business for awhile, she has been able to recommend so many people to me for dress alterations, make-up, hair, space to get ready, places to take photos, you name it. I feel like she’s been my quasi-wedding planner (and friend) that I never knew I needed! I’m literally counting down the days to go back and pick out bridesmaids dresses :)

The dresses they have are amazing. But if you’re looking for a fun time and not trying to feel rushed out the door. Then it’s for you. I had my maid of honor come and try on her dress to get fitted and the girl was completely rude who sized her. My other bridesmaids felt rushed. It was a beautiful place well put together just not a good experience.

I would never let my daughter shop here for a wedding dress. They’re suing because they think it’s unconstitutional that they are not an Essential business. It’s just a wedding dress

I cant thank La Jeune Mariee Maids enough for all of their help with my wedding. From the first visit into the shop to just take a peek at what was in stock, Jane was pulling color samples to help me find the perfect look I envisioned. When I came in with my girls to have them try on dresses, Jane and Nicole knew the colors of our original designers werent perfectly fitting what I wanted and they were quickly able to pull another designer that better fit my look. I have bridesmaids of all shapes and sizes (pregnant too!) and everyone loves their dress. The ordering process was easy and the dresses arrived in the expected time frame. Jane was always prompt to answer all of my questions through email, phone calls, etc and the excitement she shared with me when my dresses came in really made the difference. It was like she was part of my bridal party (which maybe she should be!). If youre looking for dresses for your bridesmaids, mother of the bride or even just a fancy occasion, this spot is a must stop!!

I typically dont enjoy dress shopping. I have gained weight (about 50lbs; Size 18/20 dress) since the last wedding i was in and when my sister told me she wanted me to be her bridesmaid I dreaded dress shopping. My sister and I made an appointment at Gilded Social and had an amazing experience! I had a blast going through the wide selection of styles and colors and picturing what would look best. I was able to try on most of my selections in a spacious and comfortable dressing room. Tonya was fantastic at offering her suggestions about the dresses and they would go with the bridal gown. I found a dress that not only looked great but that I would feel comfortable in. Thank you Tonya and Gilded Social for making my dress shopping experience nothing other than Fabulous!

The Gilded Social was extremely helpful with finding my maid of honor her dress for my wedding! My MOH (sister) and I were greeted at the door and were served complimentary champagne. We were free to look around and find styles we liked and try anything on. They were attentive to likes/dislikes and always found the size we needed. We bought her dress off the rack and it was perfect for my beach wedding!

I used Gilded Social for my daughters flower girl dresses. I was not local, so Tanya and I worked together to get everything completed. Not only was Tanya beyond helpful and always available for any questions I had (regarding measurements, etc..) she was so friendly and you can really see the passion she has for the business. I would reccommend working with Tanya to anyone. She is awesome and so are the dresses she has! cant wait to visit Columbus to see her store in person!

I did not enjoy my experience. I felt rushed and like an inconvenience - will not be going back. I had a more positive experience at Davids Bridal. I *did* call to make an appointment, but was told I didnt need one for a sample dress try on, so I didnt make one. I never spend more than 1 hour trying on dresses because I personally cant handle it, and staff had a tone and was rude when telling us they were closing soon. If the shop truly cant handle one extra person trying on dresses, please ask everyone to make an appointment.

Jane impressed me (and my mother) greatly by knowing the bridesmaid inventory down to the smallest details. We came looking for a less common color, yet she quickly found multiple flattering options for my maids to try. I was overjoyed that they got to have such a positive experience. Janes follow-up email detailing the qualities of the dress and initiating the ordering process for my two sisters living out of state made the process even more manageable.

I am overwhelmed with such HAPPINESS at my recent experience at La Jeune Mariee! From the moment I walked in, Taylor and other staff members, made my bridal shopping experience, easy, personal, and meaningful. I felt like Taylor was listening all along to what I wanted and ultimately pulled my DREAM DRESS for me based on a just few things I said. I felt completely cared about and like they genuinely wanted to help me. So grateful for them and especially working with Taylor!!!!

Gilded Social and owner Tanya allowed us to use her awesome space to get ready for my sister’s wedding. It is such a bright, beautiful space, and we had a blast spending the day there. We all enjoyed looking at the beautiful dresses she has to offer, and many of the girls are planning to return here to look for dresses themselves! They are beautiful, with many unique designs. Highly recommend.

Review №93

I could not recommend this business to any bride or bridesmaid in the greater Columbus area. The lack luster experience, sour attitudes, and over priced dress selection, I was highly disappointed in my experience at Gilded Social. Tanya was our appointment lead and was snotty and retained an attitude the entire time. She mismeasured most of the bridesmaids. My dress was so grossly mismeasured that it was at least 4 sizes too large and resulted in a large alterations bill on top of a $300 bridesmaid dresses. (For clarification, I did not lose or gain weight from the time of the appointment until the event.)In addition to all the above, I cannot understand the absolute lack of concern for public safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Filing a lawsuit regarding the need to be open and be considered “essential” and lack of concern for the safety of the public is completely asinine. There is absolutely nothing essential about a formal dress or dress shopping. Due to my experience and these actions, I will be sure to not recommend this business to all my fellow nurses and healthcare friends on the front lines like myself.

My sister is my maid-of-honor and I recently accompanied her to Gilded Social to shop for a dress for the wedding. The experience was fantastic. Tanya and her staff are so hands on and it was both a highly personal and very relaxed shopping experience. Tanya was able to help my sister, who is a plus size woman, find a dress that looks fantastic and that she feels very comfortable and confident in. They had a really wonderful and broad range of dresses. And theyre dresses that dont look like bridesmaids dresses - theyre just really beautiful dresses! Based on some information we provided when setting the appointment, Tanya already had some dresses pulled in advance for us which was a great, personalized touch. We were offered some prosecco and didnt feel rushed at all. My sister commented that it was one of the best shopping experiences shes ever had - even better than when she went shopping for her own wedding dress. Tanya and staff were really knowledgeable about sizing and fit of the dresses, too. Awesome staff, awesome dresses, awesome experience!!

Perfect bridal experience. Mimosas and champagne, stylists who REALLY LISTEN and know their stuff, beautiful large mirrors, great couches for the fam/friends, professional and kind and very, very thoughtful. The dresses they stock are quality pieces, nothing cheesy or corny or poorly made, and they are able to work with any budget! They made my experience such a dream! Even sent me a little card in the mail after I picked a dress with handwritten well-wishes. This is what dreams are made of, people!I had been hesitant to make an appointment because the individual boutique vibe made me question if I would find something under budget, but I couldnt have been more wrong. I went to one other place to try on dresses, a chain place up in the Polaris region, and the contrast between the two salons was startling. The prices were better at La Jeune Mariee, the stylists were far better, and the comfort of the experience was unmatched. I vote La Jeune Mariee.

Not very professional. Came here with my mom, on a cold winter day and at Gilded Social I did not find much warmth. I came for a bridesmaid dress fitting, the owner seemed pressed for time and sales focused. She was rude to my mom whom was also in the market for a formal dress. When making such a big purchase, personally, I expect to be offered a beverage, even a glass of water. Definitely no hospitality skills here. To top it off, I accidentally left a pair of heels at the store, and did not have time to pick them back up, as I live in Europe, so I was hoping my mom could pick them up along with the dress a few months later. Much to my surprise, the shop had thrown out my heels without notice. An annoying experience.

I can’t believe you guys would file a law suit over closing during this pandemic. Healthcare workers are dying trying to save people’s lives. Please have some humanity!! I will never shop from this place nor all my friends and families!!
