Bridal Gallery by Yvonne

I can’t begin to talk highly enough about my experience at Yvonne’s. Although I didn’t find my dress here, Yvonne was the most amazing consultant I had out of the 6 shops I went to. Her expertise and passion for her job went beyond compare, she truly cares about you and works endlessly to make you feel happy and beautiful! If you are in need of anything bridal stop and see her beautiful shop! Yvonne’s is wonderful!!

DO NOT GO TO BRIDAL GALLERY BY YVONNE!! We ordered bridesmaid dresses in beginning of February and they said they would be in July then I called in July and they were extremely rude and said I called early that they would be in by middle of August...I called August 23rd and they STILL were not in. They ended up coming in September. The wedding was in beginning of October. The dress I ordered they ordered 2 sizes too small...then tried to blame ME for it. Tried to fix it...then 3 weeks later I called for it to be picked up and they told me it wasn’t ready and said it would be ready 3 days before the wedding. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. I’ve been here for MANY dresses from prom to weddings and I’ve never had an issue. I will never be back here. The staff was unbelievably rude and laughed in my face at multiple occasions. The alterations they did were so awful but with days left until the wedding I was left with no choice. I have never been more upset in my life. All I wanted was a good experience for my best friends wedding.

STAY FAR AWAY!!! In February we came for bridesmaid dresses, the second we walked into the door they were rude and that should’ve been a clue to leave. Everyone found a dress they fell in love with and decided to purchase. We were told around July 5 the dresses would be in. July and August came and went, no dresses. Finally they arrive in September with barely a month left before the wedding. My maid of honors dress came 4 sizes to SMALL. They tried blaming it on us saying it was our fault. Last I checked we weren’t the ones who took measurements? They tried making her take the sample dress for the SAME price she paid for a brand new dress. The sample dress has been tried on by hundreds of people, had stains and tears etc. All we wanted to make things right was to get her some money back or have alterations done for free. They would not do anything and laughed in our faces multiple times. 11 days away from the wedding and the dress was supposed to be completed. She gets a call saying her dress isn’t ready and will be ready next week, 4 days before the wedding! When the dress is finally complete they ripped the entire one side, and added material that doesn’t even match the dress and the color is off. Still would not give any money back or do alterations for free and were quick to take her money before the dress was even COMPLETED! I have so many friends getting married this next year and family members going to prom and they WILL NOT be coming here.

I am not one to write reviews, but I do not want the disaster I went through to happen to another bride. Luckily, I am very easy going, laid back, and wasn't allowing anything to ruin my wedding day. I went to Yvonne's to try on dresses with my Mother in law and Sister in law. I walked in and was treated wonderfully. They made the whole experience very personal and made me feel extremely special. I wasn't expecting to find my dress that day but fortunately, I did. I bought the dress February 2nd, and picked it up a few weeks later. My dress never left the Garment bag until August when I took my dress to be altered by a local seamstress. She asked me if I had bought my dressed used. I was under the impression my dress was NOT used. She then proceeds to point out all the damages to my dress. There was multiple holes, the tags were so worn out from being washed multiple times, you couldn't read anything they said. The inside of the dress was stained with sweat marks and spray tan sweat. There was also black spots under the top layer of lace. My seamstress had to wash my dress TWICE and then a THIRD TIME by hand just to make it shine like it did. When I told her where I got it, she had said she has had gowns brought in from there before and the brides have had issues as well. There was also missing hooks. Now, I LOVE my dress, but I also paid $1400 for it. Which is absolutely ridiculous for the condition it was in. Not to mention, way more than what the actual retailer was selling a dress for. THANK GOD for Marylyn Sewing in Freehold, NY, who worked so hard and made my dress perfect for me. You are not allowed to go in the back of the boutique at Yvonne's to browse their dresses..an employee brings dresses for you to try on. They have gorgeous gowns, but be cautious and very observant of your dress before you buy.

Had an excellent experience picking out my dress with Darina. She knew just what to put for my body type to show me all different styles while still making me feel beautiful. Marge did my alterations and was fantastic. Yvonne came in for my final fitting and made me feel even better! Highly recommend the team of women above!

I wish this was a better review. I purchased my gown in oct 2017. I did not receive my gown until 2019 - 3 months before the wedding. I also felt like no one contacted me to keep me abreast as to why it would take so long. Then when the dress came in it was the wrong dress- a dropped waist and I had a high waisted ball gown. Was told it was the designers fault. The designer Rushed the correct dress (ironically since it has taken over a year for the first one)- showed up a month before my wedding. I needed 3 fittings but only received two. I would like to say that they were apologetic but they just made me feel paranoid.

Eve was exactly who I needed to help me find my dress. Even with a room full of loved ones, it was her help and support that made it so I could buy the dress of my dreams. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to all of the help from Yvonne’s!

I saw these dresses at a bridal show and decided to book an appointment at the salon. Upon showing up to my appointment, the woman found my "stylist" and she brought me to a private room. The room was a decent size and they had personalized a sign welcoming me which was nice. After telling the stylist my budget she explained the sample dresses started at 1298 and everything else was above that. Understandable-not everything will be in my budget. What I did not understand was bringing me 5 or 6 gowns, none of which I truly liked and telling me "well I'll write down that you like and you can come back". When I asked if I could look around, I was told only at what's out in the front which was 4 wedding gowns and a store full of prom gowns. They had a full back room of gowns but "noone is allowed back there". I felt like I wasnt getting the full treatment because my budget was 1300-the price of their sale dresses. Theres many other bridal salons in the Albany area that had stylists that genuinely wanted to help me find THE dress, had beautiful large private rooms, that carried a wide range of prices, and that allowed me to pick out dresses to try on. I will not reccomend this bridal salon to any of my friends getting married. As for prom dress shopping, probably, they had a wide selection although I didnt look at the prices of those dresses.

I had gone to a couple other places to look at dresses before heading to Yvonne and I was getting discouraged before coming here. They give you your own private room and have a welcome sign when you walk in. The consultant, and I feel bad because I'm blanking on her name but she had glasses and brown hair and she was wonderful! I described to her what I was looking for and she said they had it, but she was going to have me try it on last and it was perfect! I felt so special and had a wonderful time! They were also amazing when it came time to try on the dress. The company sent the wrong dress in, (mine had sleeves, but this one did not) It was the exact right dress without the sleeves. They calmed me down and the seamstress fit me in the dress they sent and put on sleeves to get the size, Yvonne's called the company and had them rush it with the cost not falling on anyone because it was the company's fault. I came in the next fitting and the dress was almost perfect with a couple little things to fix! They performed a miracle and the dress was exactly what I had envisioned! Definitely check out Yvonne's! They also have nice mother of the bride dresses! And their seamstress is really skilled!!

My 1st to get married we are all so excited, We went to a few bridal shops. Made 2 trips to Bridal Gallery by Yvonne it starts out great! Then you buy you dream dress. They make you feel as if you MUST get a bigger size dress, charge an up charge. Order your bridesmaids dresses and again tell the girls they need to order a bigger size because Teheran one you tried on is all stretch out and is bigger then what the size is. Then GUESS what you have to pay for them to make your dress SMALLER! Shocked I know! Most of the girls had to pay $125 plies the cost of their dress. My daughter paid an additional $500for her alterations. But before that the seamstress argues with me mother of the bride about the way her dress fit. I told them that this was not how her dress was supposed to lay out and the seamstress just kept telling yelling I didn’t do it that’s how it came. Ok so just fix it! Then told me they must have sold the sample dress because the couldn’t find it! And the seamstress turned to me and said “ you want me to fixed it “ I said YES ok she said “ if I change it and you don’t like it ! I charge you MORE “ This all the day before her wedding and YES I like it and 2.5 hours later we got her dress and had a beautiful wedding!

I just had the most horrific experience here. The first time I came in for a fitting 2 weeks ago they forced me to buy one of their $100 bras because they told me mine wouldn’t work. I was quoted $400 for alterations when I bought it and explained everything I needed done. Then at that first fitting the price went up to $650. I came in today 12 days before my wedding and the top of the dress wasn’t even altered and the bottom was altered so much I couldn’t get it over my hips. I tried telling the seamstress that it was too tight and she kept saying “that’s how you wanted, I do nothing wrong” The dress doesn’t even stay up so trying to keep myself covered I reached down to grab the dress and the seamstress screams “she’s hitting me, she’s hitting me” The owner comes in though doesn’t even introduce herself. Long story short she wouldn’t even admit that the top of the dress wasn’t altered and there was major work left to be done. She wouldn’t adjust the bra saying I must’ve lost weight. After she walked out and I could hear the seamstress saying she didn’t want to work with me I packed up my dress and walked out where my fiancée was. I told him “we are leaving” and that’s what I should have done. Instead we handed the owner the dress to hang up while I figured out if I should still leave given the days remaining. When I decided that was the right thing to do, the owner says we can’t give you your dress back the seamstress is ripping out all she did. I asked the owner at least 12 times for my dress. I went into the back room and saw the seamstress ripping my dress apart. I was asked to leave and told to come back in 20 minutes. I have never in my entire life been treated this way by anyone not to mention several people within an established business. Please don't ever go here!

My experience when I first went here was so great all the staff was amazing. But after buying my dress and starting the fitting process it was a complete nightmare the staff everytime I went, was rude and rushed me. They didnt want to hear anything you had to say and wouldn't never call u back. After buying all my accessories and undergarments there they then charged me over $600 for alterations. They literally charge for every single thing they do. To sew on a belt I bought there they charged me over $150, to add straps over $50. Just a ripe off. Then the week of my wedding the day I was supposed to pick up my dress they tell me they didnt do ANY of my alterations. I had to go back a few days later to get it. Then the day off my wedding my bustle on my dress wasnt holding my dress up and in place. Advice I would give other brides go somewhere else. if they have a dres u cant find anywhere else, buy it from them but take it as soon as it comes in. Have your alterations done elsewhere.

A little back story- I live in California but decided to get married in Western MA since I grew up in Upstate NY and my now-husband grew up in Boston. When I came home to visit for Christmas, I scheduled my first appointment at Yvonne's. Of course, Upstate NY in the middle of winter, there was a huge snow storm, but they stayed open just for my appointment since I was from out of town and explained I couldn't make it another day. I had been dress shopping several other times so I had a good idea of what I wanted and the consultants really listened while still making suggestions of things I hadn't thought of, but weren't pushy at all if I didn't like it. I ended up saying yes to a dress I would have never picked out for myself in a million years but it was so perfect for me. I couldn't schedule a follow up appointment right away because I needed to find out when I could take off of work to come back east. Flash forward a few months, I was told my dress would come in around the week of July 4th. My hubby and I decided to make a trip back east the next week to knock out several other appointments. We had a super tight schedule- hair and make up trial, cake tasting, and an engagement party all in 4 days spanning 3 states- so I was thrilled when Yvonne's could take me in- the only problem... there was an issue with the dress shipping so it wouldn't be in for another two weeks at least. Rescheduling our whole trip wasn't an option, so Yvonne had the dress overnighted to make it for my noon appointment and even chased down the UPS truck until she had it in her hands! I was able to try on my dress with my hair and make up done, all my accessories, and got the first fitting in. The next crisis came when my two Women of Honor (my sisters) flew in from California the week of the wedding. We used an online service for the bridesmaid dresses and once we were all together, we realized that one of my them had been sent the wrong color dress. She was absolutely devastated. It was a close enough color that it didn't matter to me at all (think burgundy vs. berry), but she felt terrible she wouldn't have the same color as my other WOH. We ended up going to Yvonne's since we were in the area and what do you know? They have a beautiful dress the same exact color as the online dresses and in my sister's size. After explaining the situation to them, they ran to the back and made sure the seamstress was on standby in case any alterations had to be done, but the dress fit my sister like a glove. She looked gorgeous and no one could tell that she had gotten her dress apart from the others. I would absolutely recommend Yvonne's, I've had nothing but great experiences there.

Bridal Gallery by Yvonne I want to provide a very complete review of my experience with Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. I booked an appointment almost 2 months in advance, because I was coming from out of town. At first I found the staff to be a little bit short and rude when we arrived for my appointment, saying they weren’t ready for us. I felt they could have been a little more polite about this. When I walked into the bridal suite however, it was beautifully set up. There was a gorgeous dress displayed and a nice welcome frame with my name in it. I only brought my maid of honor and Mom, and the small amount of seating was fine for just the two of them. Since this was the second bridal shop I visited, I had an idea of what I wanted in a dress, and after telling Janice the style and features, as well as a few specific designer dresses, she pulled about half a dozen. The sample size was large making a bit difficult to really imagine the fit, but I chose a dress I loved, and was assured that any alterations to the neckline, back, and hem that I brought up could easily be addressed during the fittings. I ended up buying my dress after trying on only a couple, and received a discount for my first visit on both my dress and veil. About a month after ordering my dress I also received a hand written thank you note in the mail. While I was originally told my dress may arrive in as few as 4 months, it took 8 months for it to arrive. Many of my phone calls to check on my dress went unreturned which was frustrating and nerve-wracking. I was an out of town bride, and when my dress arrived I received a voicemail saying my “prom dress” arrived. I was also originally told it would need to be picked up on a weekday. After calling again explaining I just wanted to try my wedding dress on to make sure it fit before leaving with it, I was able to get a Saturday appointment. I was only in town for a weekend and told them I would be taking my dress with me. When I arrived my dress was exactly as ordered, veil as well, however neither was steamed and they said they couldn’t do it that day. As I was an out of town bride, I left with my dress as it was, knowing that if I had it altered elsewhere the seamstress would no longer work on it. I was told that I could however have my dress steamed when I was back in town the week of the wedding. What they didn’t tell me however, despite telling them my wedding date, was that they close for almost an entire week around July 4. I could not arrive in town in time for an appointment to have my dress steamed. Overall I found the selection of dresses to be nice, the salon to be clean and well kept, but the communication to be very poor.

I was so excited for this appointment after reading such wonderful things about Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. Also, my initial call to the salon was so amazing. When I got there, I was so disappointed.. when I entered the place, nobody came to greet me. I just stood there for like 20 minutes doing nothing. When I was finally greeted by someone and was taken into my “suite,” I was even more disappointed. The room was entirely too small and I could clearly hear the woman in the room next to mine. I had five people with me and my mom ended up sitting on the ground. Ugh! Where I got changed was so lazily put together. It was a tiny room divider with a tiny mirror to see the dress in. There was no room for me to see myself properly in the dress. It was about a foot for me to walk out to my family so I couldn’t get a sense of how the dress walks. The two consultants that I had seemed to not want to be there. They didn’t ask me about my wedding, except where it was. They didn’t even ask my fiance’s name. Like what the actual heck? When it came to the dresses that were pulled, 99% of them were terrible. I told them I wanted an a-line or ballgown dress. They pulled more than plenty dresses that fitted my body too much. I looked like a stuffed sausage.. yuck!! Nearly every dress in the salon has a ton of beading and lace... that’s it. There was no variety. At one point, my sister asked about a tea length dress and the consultant says “oh no no no! You want to look like an actual bride.” Like seriously?? Tea length dresses are friggin cute! There was one dress that I actually liked. And guess what. My consultants didn’t even pick it. My mom and mother in law picked it. These ladies couldn’t do their job well at all. I liked the dress but I couldn’t say yes because the thought of having to go back to this place in nine months to go to fittings made me seriously roll my eyes. At another point in the appointment, I said that I wanted some kind of strap or sleeve. The lady comes out with this ugly, lace, beaded (cause that’s all they have there) long sleeve cover. I told her I hated it but she forced it on me anyway. I told the lady that I was extremely conservative and she tried to tell me that I would love strapless and that they would make it so that it wouldn’t fall down. She didn’t care what I had to say about my body, which I’ve lived in for 23 years! Instead of bringing me dresses that I was asking for, they just kept saying that they can remove this or that from them. I found that extremely annoying. I understand that alterations are possible but for every dress that they put on me? Maybe get more variety!!! I am seriously hoping that my appointment next week at another salon is 1000000 times better.

Honestly, this place gives you such an amazing experience. From the private bridal suite to the knowledge and excitement of the staff, I felt so comfortable the entire time. It was an amazing and memorable experience. My word of advice is TRUST YOUR CONSULTANT. Don't be afraid to try on everything they pull. They've done this before. Eva found the dress that worked with my body type and the dress I picked I never even knew existed. My sister got her wedding dress from here, my sister-in-law got her dress from here and I am so happy to say I now have found my dream dress from here. Thank you so much for everything!

I was originally drawn to this shop because they carried several designers I was interested in trying for my bridesmaid dresses. This shop did offer a great selection. When shopping for bridesmaids dresses you don't have to make an appointment, which is wonderful; due to the fact that it is very hard to get everyone together at the same time. I liked the ability to come in when it was convenient to my schedule. (I made several trips to finalize my choices with my girls.) At times this location can get very busy. For some people that may be frustrating but I found the energy positive; allowing fellow customers and staff to all engage with one another. Though my experience with staff was inconsistent. I did meet two amazing employees who were very aware of my needs. They provided valuable product knowledge and assistance when needed. Other occasions you couldn't seem to find anyone who was actually working and when you did they provided contradicting information. I would also recommend taking your alterations to someone else. Two of my girls stayed in house and were charged an arm and a leg compared to my girls who went to their local tailors in capital region. I'm an extremely self sufficient shopper (12 years of styling in women's fashion) and don't require much help. I had a vision and knew what I was looking for. I would recommend this shop to people like myself but for those who easily get lost and overwhelmed by too many choices, I would recommend you ask for a more senior staff member.

Yvonne's was great to work with! Came highly recommended by all of my co-workers as well as a good friend of mine. After going to another bridal shop I realized Yvonne's was for me- not pushy, easy to work with and helped me every step of the way. They made the wedding dress process very easy!

Avoid this place!!! Staff is unprofessional, unwilling to fix their own mistakes and make their clients happy. Ordered wrong and to have them fix the mistake was a nightmare. Seamstress was unwilling to stay late so they could make up for the time lost getting the correct order. Extremely stressful situation. The gown was ordered over a year in advance! The bad reviews I’ve heard or read about this place are true! Don’t make your wedding more stressful than it has to be.

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.

Thanks to an egregious error and a complete lack of empathy from Yvonne and her staff, I spent the last weekend crying in every bridal shop in the Capital District. My bridesmaids ordered dresses from Yvonne 8 months ahead of my wedding. Last weekend, I took a train upstate from my home in NYC to retrieve the dresses. My girls had ordered an all-grey dress. The dresses I was handed were grey on the bottom with WHITE lace tops. When I told the staff about the error they scurried into the back room. When they finally came out, they ushered me out of the store as quickly as possible, assuring me that Yvonne would call in 24 hours with a solution. Yvonne called that night to say she was taking care of it. I explained that I needed the correct dresses by March 24th as that was the only time I would see my out-of-town bridesmaids. When the next evening rolled around and I hadn’t heard anything, I reached out to Yvonne who “was just about to call me”. The best the designer could do was mid-April. I explained that this wouldn't work, 2 weeks was not enough time for my out-of-town bridesmaids to get the dresses and have them altered. She said I was overacting and that alterations can be done in 1 day. When I asked if she was offering to do the alterations for free at her shop, she snarkily told me that she can’t offer that because she doesn’t sew. Was she going to offer a discount to the girls who would be rushing last minute to get these dresses ready? No, it wasn't her fault. Never mind that someone at her shop checked these dresses in and never flagged that they didn't match the order. Rather than being apologetic and understanding, she talked down to me and my mom the entire time. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I couldn't trust her. When she called back and said she found a way to get the dresses in on time, I asked if they could guarantee the arrival date. They couldn’t. I decided to my business elsewhere. But even the refund was struggle—with my aunt having to fight them for a week to get the right amount of money back.. That said, there are 2 local bridal shops that I WOULD recommend, who unlike Yvonne, saw a bride in distress and jumped into action to solve a problem that wasn’t even theirs. David’s Bridal: When I came in crying and told them how quickly I needed dresses, these ladies were incredible. The manager, Jaclyn, and 2 associates spent hours figuring out how to get 8 dresses to arrive in time. They rigged the computer to speed up shipping, they found a shade of grey ships quicker, and one of the associates even called in a favor at the warehouse. Between my amazing bridesmaids who had less than 24 hours to reorder dresses, and the compassionate ladies at David’s, within a week all of the replacement dresses had arrived. These ladies are miracle workers. Jocelyn’s Bridal: Last weekend, in the midst of the Yvonne drama, my mom had her MOB dress fitting at Joceyln’s. While she was getting fitted, I was alternating between crying and fielding calls from Yvonne, David’s Bridal, and my bridesmaids. When my mom told the staff at Joceyln’s the story of what happened, every single person in that store sprung to help us. The owner started calling in favors with designers while 2 girls pulled every grey dress they had and offered to let me buy the samples so I could walk out that day with 8 matching grey dresses. There are great bridal shops out there who care about brides, but Yvonne isn't one of them. Stay far away.

Bridal Gallery by Yvonne had so many beautiful gowns to choose from, making it tough to pick just one. Not only did I buy my dream wedding dress here, but my veil, tiara, a bracelet and earrings to match. I couldn't be any happier with my dress, the customer service, alterations and accessories! Highly recommened

I was so nervous about my bridal appointment. I convinced myself that I would never find a dress that I like or that one would never fit right (ya know, typical bridal freak outs)! As I walked in, I was greeted by my consultant and began making me feel really comfortable. The room was well lit and had a picture of my name in it. I loved how the consultant took time to personalize the room. She asked me about myself, my fiancé, how we met, and what kinds of dresses I was interested in. I explained to her that I recently gained some weight and wasn’t sure what would look good on me. My consultant was amazing and assured me that we would find something. Sure enough! We found a dress that had everything I wanted. I enjoyed how bother the consultant and owner took time to be a part of the experience. They made me feel really special.

Yvonne's was the first bridal salon I went to look for a dress and the last one! The staff was wonderful, Janice was my consultant and I did not make it easier for her. I really had no idea what I wanted, she starting bringing in dresses and as I commented what I did and didn't like the we found the perfect dress. What was most funny to me was it was exactly what I didn't think I wanted! A strapless mermaid! Who knew it would look so good on me… Janice did! I highly recommend Bridal by Yvonne!

I bought my dress at Bridal Gallery a few months ago. The staff was delightful and made the experience enjoyable.

I found my dress here and I absolutely loved the whole experience! Eva helped me find my dream gown and it was even on clearance! When I walked in for my appointment, they had my name printed out on a welcome sign in a suite where she asked me some questions about the wedding and what type of dress I was looking for. She then went back and pulled several dresses for me. I tried on almost a dozen, but fell in love with the 3rd one I tried and bought it that day. I never felt pressured to buy something more expensive than planned and Eva was super helpful in finding dresses that I loved within my price range. My dress turned out to be one I never would have pulled off the rack myself! I also bought my petticoat and a veil that matches the dress perfectly and they're doing my alterations. I love that they'll keep the dress there until the big day so I don't have to try to hide it from my fiance! I highly recommend Yvonne's!

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!

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.

My experience at Yvonne’s was excellent from the first time I stepped foot into the shop right up to the day I picked up my dress. They run a bridal shop exactly how you would hope, with a bride-focused and friendly staff who explain everything patiently. So many vendors talk to you as if you should know the whole process already, but at Yvonne’s they talk to you like a first-time bride and explain exactly how each step of the process works at each visit. I was very pleased with them and I would highly recommend them, especially to brides who feel uncomfortable or frustrated. They are patient, have private fitting rooms, and have a salesperson assigned just to you during your visit.

Working with the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne has been an emotional rollercoaster. I was told when I purchased my dress that when it came in "my size” it would look like an A-line- come to find out my dress was actually a modified A-line and I was lied to by Janet. My first fitting was stressful- I came in with a list of things I wanted changed on my dress and there just was not enough time. The seamstress had to bounce back and forth between other appointments and I was asked to come back on another day. The second fitting was with another staff member and Marge (the seamstress) and we discussed different alteration plans. We only had time to get to the sleeves and bust pinned. My wedding was only 2 weeks away! My next fitting appointment was with the original saleswoman Janet- I knew we didn't have a great history, but I went in open minded and she proved again to be extremely arrogant, rude, and not helpful. I left crying. No alterations were completed or even started from my previous fitting. We discussed more alterations that needed to be completed such as adding on my belt, hemming the bottom of the dress, adding buttons, adding a bustle. My wedding was in 1 week! My last fitting was the Tuesday (4 days) before my wedding with Yvonne and Marge. I stood there from 6:30- 9:30pm while Marge hand sewed everything onto my dress. The work that Marge does is absolutely AMAZING! Marge and Yvonne are so incredibly patient, kind, and reassuring. I left that night crying HAPPY tears. My vision of my dress finally came together! I picked up my dress Thursday afternoon from Janet and Thursday night as I was packing my husband asked if my veil was in my dress bag or in a separate bag. That is when it hit me......MY VEIL!!!!! Janet never made sure my veil was with my dress! Then I remembered we were so worried about my dress that I hadn't tried on my veil since my very FIRST fitting! I immediately called the store and Kayla answered and could tell I was very upset and frantic. She offered to bring the veil to me. I took a deep breath and had my mom go with me back up to the store and we got my veil. If my husband would have never said anything, I wouldn't have had my veil for the wedding.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. Had such a special and amazing bridal dress experience there. From the first day, Janice was very friendly, and even Yvonne came into the room to provide feedback. I felt like they all really cared. I had a lot of things that I wanted in my wedding dress, and I was assured that they could alter the dress to provide me with everything I wanted. Boy were they right. Marge is an asset to Bridal Gallery by Yvonne, and she transformed my dress into my dream dress, something that I only saw in my head, but Marge made it come true in real life. Marge is so talented and I appreciate all of her hard work on my dress. I can honestly say that I don't think many bridal gown salons could do what Marge did. I valued her professional opinion and trusted her completely with my dress. It was so lovely that Yvonne and Janice continued to be a part of my second and third dress fittings, they all seemed excited for me and invested in watching my dress transform. Highly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne! Thank you Yvonne and Janice! and extra special thanks to Marge!!

I can't even describe how wonderful it was working with Yvonne's! The consultant saw my vision perfectly and found me the perfect most stunning gown. Out of my 4 appointments there not one of them was frustrating, or nerve wracking. Everything was done perfectly with professionalism and happiness, and I couldn't have asked for a better dress experience for my wedding. Absolutely phenomenal.. GO.HERE!!!

I was a little hesitant while I was waiting for my bridal appointment to begin however once I was brought into the bridal suite my thoughts completely changes! I was welcomed with a personal welcome sign and my consultant was amazingly knowledgeable!!! She pulled dresses that fit my silhouette perfectly and every one I tried on I loved more and more!! I purchased my gown from here and couldn't be more excited about my investment

My mother and I had stopped by no appointment, to see some of the dresses the had. They squeezed me in right away . We were so grateful. They took there time and never rushed me. Our experience here was absolutely wonderful. Thank you ladies.

I went to this salon after a co-worker had recommended it as a good first salon. I brought my Mom and Grandmother and had THE BEST appointment. Janice was my consultant and she took her time with us, showed us everything that I asked her to and really gave us the royal treatment. I decided to bring my sister back to make sure the dress was "the one" and had another PERFECT experience as a bride. The room was private but large enough to share this special moment with My mom, sister, and 2 grandmothers. We brought champagne in with us, and had a wonderful experience. I am getting alterations, shoes, and veil here as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne to all brides.

Absolutely amazing group of women who work at this salon. Yvonne and all of the bridal consultants here are kind, patient, and genuine. I'm so happy to have found my dress at Yvonne's.

I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience at Yvonnes! From the minute we walked in the door the staff was beyond attentive to us. Janice was so helpful in pulling dresses that were EXACTLY what I was thinking of! It was my first and only bridal salon that I looked at and I am very thankful for all the attention they gave me- made me feel like a real bride! You get your own private room with a welcome sign, plenty of room for guests to sit and their undivided attention. In less than a hour I said YES to the dress and my veil. I can't wait for my dress to come in and be able to try it on again! We will be getting our bridesmaids dresses here as well- they have wonderful designers and styles!

Such a wonderful experience. The staff are all very sweet, very accommodating, and non pushy. I love the fact that I got to work with my own personal attendant. I would highly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne to any bride.

In this day and age, when you spend a small fortune on a wedding dress, there are certain expectations. You want to be treated like a princess. You want to have that Say Yes to the Dress moment, no matter how stereotypical and saccharine it sounds. But it's true. To be honest, I did not find by dress at the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. I found it at another shop further north. However, by the time I found the dress, I had already been spoiled by the amazing stylists (we started with the adorable Tirsia), and finally found out what it was like to be waited on at a bridal gallery. This second spot did nothing--they were rude and couldn't even give me a private space. So you know what I did? I found out the style number of the dress I liked, called up Yvonne, and asked if they could order it for me. And you know what? THEY DID. They did not carry the brand or the dress, and they were able to order it special, just for me. This was absolutely incredible and a real preview of what was to come. Each time I went, they had a large, private lounge area for me to use. During my first visit, Tirsia listened to the styles I liked and what I thought I might want to see in a dress. She was very thoughtful in her choices, and, while I am a larger lady, she was able to give me several dresses that were not woefully too small. I also appreciated that they did not make me spend hours going through their inventory on my own. It was such a stress relief that she listened to me, saw the shape of my body, and then gave me a set of custom curated choices, almost all of which could have been serious contenders. They allowed my friend to get my faraway mom on Skype so she could feel involved. They gave me space and they gave me time. They never for a second made me feel less-than for being a ~curvy~ bride. And once I purchased my dress, I even got a handwritten thank-you card. They really went above and beyond for me. Alterations were not cheap, but they did them fast and they did them VERY well. On my wedding, my dress fit like a dream. I highly, highly recommend this Bridal Gallery. I always felt very important here, and they made the process fun (and clothes shopping is generally a miserable chore for me). I am so grateful they were able to accommodate me!

Janice and the staff at Yvonne's made me feel like a princess while trying on gowns. My bridesmaids dresses are beautiful. Yvonne's is very accommodating to every shape and style. The purchasing process is very simple, and Yvonne's is willing to work with you to make sure you are satisfied!

What an incredible place! This was my first and last stop in my search for my bridal gown. We had a beautiful private suite and all staff were very welcoming and accommodating. My consultant Janice was wonderful! She made sure that my experience in finding the perfect dress was flawless. I ended up choosing a beautiful David Tutera gown and couldn't be happier! I'm looking forward to going back for alterations. Thank you Bridal Gallery by Yvonne! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

OUTSTANDING!! I made an appointment and visited the Gallery a week ago. They were so nice from the moment you walked through the door. Janice greeted me and stated she would be helping me during my visit. She directed us to a private room where I found my name in a frame with a welcome sign!!!! That was such a wonderful touch -I was so impressed and felt very special! I viewed the collection the night before so I had a few choices. She told me she could see a trend in the style I was looking for and took off to gather some dresses. 45 mins later I found "the dress". The staff is so very pleasant and happy. They even gave me a "today only" price and continued the great service until we walked out the door. Janice then followed up with a hand written Thank You card in the mail. It was truly a wonderful experience all the way around. This is the place to go !!!!!

When I was 15, I went to Yvonne's to get my prom dress. Over ten years later, I went back to get my wedding dress and the experience was perfect. Janice was extremely genuine and took the time to get to know my personality and style. She was so personable, and the first dress she brought in was the one! After trying on a few other beautiful gowns, Yvonne and Janice took the time to "jack me up," taking the time to include my mothers' wedding veil. They had great ideas and we were able to alter and incorporate pieces into my wedding day. Once the dress came in, Marge did a BEAUTIFUL job making my dress fit perfectly. It became a truly one of a kind dress! I could not be happier! Thank you ladies!!

I was so happy with my dress and my experience at the bridal gallery! Everyone there was knowledgeable and helpful and the whole process went smoothly. They had a great selection of dresses and my alternations came out perfect!

I visited Yvonne's Bridal when I started shopping around for a flower girl dress. I called the store 2 weeks before the visit to confirm if an appointment was needed for flower dresses and I was told no. I went to Yvonne'sne bridal with the flower girl to look at and try on dresses and I was so surprised with the service I got or should I say the service that I did not get. First of all they need to take the jingle bell off that door and have someone present at the front to meet and greet customers. We walked in the store and the jingle bell alerted a staff that there was a customer. However, when the lady came to the front and saw us she turned and walked away without even acknowledging us. The flower girl and I sat for about 15minutes and still did not get any help, and during that time 2 other supposedly staff members passed by. Another bridal party came in and "jingle bell" went off again, same woman who ignored me, rushed to the front and assisted. I watched on with dismay as I waited to be helped. I went to the counter and stood for about 10minutes and watched as staff members passed on. Finally a young lady whom I hadn't seen prior came over and offered to help. After about 1/2hour I had a bitter taste in my mouth and wanted to leave, but the trooper that I am stayed to look at dresses. After all that time I did not see a dress I thought would work and the lady who tried to help me was no where to be found. I stood at the counter and waited for a very longgggg time because I had a question about a particular dress. Oh no, "Jingle bell" in came another person who walked in and the same woman who did not acknowledge me came to the front to help that other person. So here it goes: Worker : good morning, may I help you. Other customer: I think she was waiting to be helped. Are you waiting to be helped? Me: sure, I am waiting to be helped. Worker: oh, aren't you with the bridal party that's looking at bridesmaid dresses. Me: no, I am not. I am shopping for a flower girl dress and have a question, but if you took the time out to help when you saw me walked in through that door you would known exactly why I am here. The service was beyond awful, it was my first and my last visit to Yvonne bridal. I hate to say this, but I felt iignored, I felt it was because of the color of my skin. My overall rating is below 0 the worse but I guess I have to check a star.

I went to Bridal Gallery By Yvonne for my bridesmaids dresses and found a GREAT selection! I was able to pick a number of different style dresses that I had my bridesmaids choose from so they are able to each wear a different style. I was very happy with the help from the employees in finding the perfect dresses for my bridal party. I did schedule an appointment to bridal gown shop a few weeks later. I was able to not only choose the PERFECT wedding gown for myself but allow some closest friends/family/bridal party to accompany me in my decision. The gowns that I did try on were all BEAUTIFUL and I am very happy with the dress that I chose. I was able to show a picture of exactly what I was looking for in a dress and found EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not only did the selection that was brought into the suite for me to try on on meet my needs but the employees were very helpful in allowing me to make my own decisions and not be too pushy with making a decision. It was also very reassuring that I was told that things can be changed/altered on the dresses to meet my needs and wants if needed. The employees also brought in a selection of veils for me to try on that matched perfectly with each dress. I was not only able to purchase my wedding dress there but I was able to get a veil that will make the dress look even more perfect. I did not look for dresses any where else so I was unable to compare prices with other places. I would recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne to anyone looking for their wedding dress or for their bridesmaids dresses! There is also a wide variety and selection of mother of the bride/groom dresses as well!

I had an unforgettable experience at Yvonne's! Their selection of dresses are breathtaking, I wish I could've bought them all! The consultant I worked with took all of my likes and dislikes into account and her patience was so helpful! I am so happy with the gown that I have chosen.

I had the most amazing experience at the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne! Everyone was so helpful and accommodating, they have absolutely gorgeous dresses at great prices, and the salon is beautiful. I got my wedding dress there as well as my bridesmaid dresses, and every time was a great experience. I highly recommend the Bridal Gallery!

The staff was very helpful and did a great job with finding my perfect wedding dress. Alterations went well as well. Overall very pleased.

Wonderful place and staff at bridal gallery by Yvonne!! They make you feel so special and help you find the perfect dress. The selection they have is amazing, one of the few places to find David Tutera gowns as well. The staff goes above and beyond and even looks at the dresses you pinned on their page and pulls them for you. The selection was so perfect I fell in love with the first dress I tried on!!! They make sure you are happy and comfortable with everything and ensure you have the perfect dress for your day! They really take extra effort to make for a wonderful and memorable experience, I highly recommend everyone go here to get their dress....you won't leave disappointed!! A big thanks to everyone at Bridal Gallery by Yvonne!!

The Bridal Gallery by Yvonne was amazing from the moment I called to make an appointment. They provided me with very useful information over the phone from the starting prices of the dresses to how many people I should bring and what to expect. They were the only ones to do this out of 3 places I called. Right off the bat I was feeling incredibly positive about coming here. As the day approached to go wedding dress shopping I was very nervous thinking no one would have my sizes (I'm considered plus size) and started to stress. The first place I went only had about 3 dresses; however, Yvonne's blew that number out of the water. They had so many dresses in the style I was looking for and in my size I was overwhelmed (in a GOOD way!). Also, I worked with Janice and she was VERY polite, knowledgeable, and even pulled a dress I would have never thought I would try on. Well, guess what, that was the dress I chose! The shop is very neat, clean, and they have private rooms. Not to mention all the consultants' attention is solely on you- which is a great feeling. Plus, they not only treat the bride well, they also treat the people you bring with you well. I had about 7 people with me and Janice made us ALL feel special and listened to everyone's opinions. I ended up canceling my other appointment for the day based solely on my experience here with Janice and how she made me feel. I HIGHLY recommend Yvonne's as well as Janice. She was amazing; this shop was amazing. I can't say enough good things about it!

From my first phone call, to my dress appointment and after I have been more than impressed with the incredible customer service, personal touch and true professionalism of Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. I brought all 7 bridesmaids plus the two mothers to my appointment and there was plenty of room for all of us. My bridal consultant, Janice, was so nice and kept me from being overwhelmed. I would highly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne to anyone!!

I had such a great experience at the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne. Janice was amazing, she was extremely patient and was truly dedicated to finding my dream dress!! She did not once make me feel pressured as many other bridal salons and consultants did. I strongly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne!!

Amazing experience! Janice was very welcoming, patient, and extremely helpful! They have a beautiful selection that is reasonably priced. I enjoyed having my own private room to try on dresses until I found the perfect one. Highly recommend! Can't wait until my dress comes in!

Yvonne is the first and only bridal gallery that I went to. My two sisters and I all found and bought our wedding dresses from Yvonne. I worked with Janice and she helped me find the perfect dress for me. She even found the perfect earrings to go with my dress, which I purchased that same day as well. I highly recommend Bridal Gallery By Yvonne. L Choppy

Staff was lovely and on point. They listened to what I wanted and delivered! I am getting a one of a kind dress, with the help of the staff I couldn't be happier!

Yvonne's was the first place that I was looking for my bridal gown. Once I stepped into the store it was like nothing else I felt. We had our own suite to try on my dress with my mom and my bridesmaids there with me. The woman that assisted me (Janice) understood what type of dress I was looking for and listened to everything we were saying. The 7th dress I tried on, was "the one". I am so happy that I had my experience at Yvonne's, I will always remember that special day. Thank you!!!!

My David Tutera Anita gown was what I always dreamed of. Before I purchased my dress the service was average. After the dress was paid for the service given to me took a MAJOR downturn. The staff and the seamstress at Bridal by Yvonne's had me in tears during my first fitting. I had a 6pm fitting and I did not leave until at least 9pm. My maid of honor, mother and one of my bridesmaid also came for a fitting and my MOH and bridesmaid had to leave after 2 hours of waiting. As we were waiting I watched as people with appointments an hour to 2 hours after me were leaving with their dresses fitted. My mother had to wait in her dress that was not fitting properly and very uncomfortable as staff was telling us that they will be right with us. Apparently 2-3 hours is fast?! When I became furious that the staff was becoming rude to us because I was pushing them foursome kind of service and not snide remarks. Excuses were flying from the staff until I broke and was pacing throughout the store for two hours. When Yvonne realized that we were there for so long, she had a lot of excuses, but did bring us into a bridal suite, partly because I was in tears. The worst of the excuses was the comparison between a bridal dressing fitting and a restaurant. If I was at a 5 Star restaurant,which is the only kind I should Compare it to, I would have had a free meal of my choice and some major suck up by the staff, none of which I received. After my MOH and Mother spoke with the staff the following day Yvonne finally broke. Initially she tried to give more excuses. When I spoke with Yvonne the next day she continued with the excuses until we broke her into realizing her mistake and she finally apologized. When I came back for my fitting I was quickly placed into a room but I feel that it pitiful that it took that to get that service. When I asked the seamstress to build the bustle with more than one hook and she quickly responded that she always does it one way and that is the way she will do it. I asked that because I had a friend whose dress tore at the bustle due to lack of support by the single hook. I picked up my dress and all my bridesmaids dresses and mothers dress and all was good. On my wedding day before I even started dancing my Italian lace wedding gown nada 6 inch tear in it from the bustle. When two seamstresses who attended my wedding went to fix it, with dental floss, they saw that David Tutera had 3 spot sewn into the dress for the bustle hooks that were not used. The seamstress merely placed a hook on the Italian lace and expected the delicate and expensive lace to hold up the weight of the dress. Luckily the rest of my wedding was perfect but it put a huge dent in my time to take pictures and dance. When I went into the bridal gallery they simply said that tears happen. Yet another excuse. I insisted on speaking to Yvonne in her busy gallery to share my unhappiness about their services and all the excuses I received. I was compensated with a coupon for preservation that I had already received and my veil preservation. All my patient bridesmaids and mother received was a small discount. I would highly recommend David Tutera but Bridal Yvonne provided poor service. I should not have to cry to get the service I deserve. Be aware if you are getting your gown here.

I bought my wedding gown, veil, strapless bra, and jewelry at the Bridal Gallery by Yvonne.I also purchased all of the bridesmaids' dresses from here.The facility with very nice and has private rooms for the brides and their families while trying on dresses. This was such a nice experience after going to other bridal shops and having to try in dresses in front of many other people, inviting unwanted comments from strangers. I mostly worked with Janice who was fantastic. She was very friendly and professional. My only complaint is regarding the alterations. She did a fantastic job and the dress fit well, but she was very pricey and I was required to pay all in cash, which is expecting a lot when the alterations were almost $700. As far as the bridesmaids' dresses the process was very easy. My girls were all from out of town and were able to get measurements taken elsewhere and e-mail or fax the measurements along with the dress selection and payment. Once the dresses arrived I mailed them to each girl who was then able to get them altered at their convenience near home. I would definitely recommend this vendor when looking for dresses.

Seamstress didn't properly do my dress and it kind of ruined my day.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I went to Yvonne's, but I was pleasantly surprised. I described what sort of gown I was looking for to the lady helping me, and she went in the back and brought out several for me to try. Yvonne's was the last place I looked, but they did the best job helping me find what I was looking for. They had gowns that I had seen in magazines and gowns that I hadn't (the owner selects them herself). I ended up choosing a gown from a line by Allure Bridals that is not advertised in any magazines. It was exactly what I was looking for! I met the owner when I went back to try it on with shoes and jewelry to see what worked and she was the nicest lady- so relaxed and accommodating. Such a wonderful experience!

I went to Yvonne's to find my dress and from the time I walked in the door I felt welcomed. I just knew at that moment I would find the dress of my dreams. Janice my consultant was amazing absolutely professional. I couldn't ask for more. She picked me the perfect dresses to try on and I knew the dress I put on it was the one. Instantly I said this is my dress. I would never recommend anywhere else but here for all brides and bridesmaids. Absolutely amazing !!! I give this store an over all 10+!!!

I've gotten several prom dresses at Yvonne's & I always knew in my mind I would find my wedding dress here! From the moment I scheduled my appointment at a bridal show, to walking into the shop for my appointment. Janice was the greatest!! She knew EXACTLY what I wanted! It only took me 7 dresses to find the one. My family and I were so comfortable the entire time which made it that much better. After all was said and done, I walked out of there with the PERFECT dress, an embellished belt, lace cathedral veil, David Tutera pearl necklace & bracelet all for a fabulous price! If you want to find an amazing dress & be treated like family, this is the place to go!!! You will always walk out with a smile on your face!

My consultant was very helpful she showed me exactly what I wanted and kept within my budget. The atmosphere is very private and relaxing. You are shown dresses but not overwhelmed with too many dresses. All dresses are pulled for you so that way you don't fine yourself is a pile of dresses without a clue of what you are looking for. I highly recommend them.

I absolutely felt like all the attention was on me. They were super helpful and I loved that there was a private suite. It made my experience that much more personal. My only issue was that they picked the dresses for me to try on. Although they were great choices and I decided on the first one I tried on, it would have been nice to look for myself. After I made the decesion all the employees were congratulating me and the one helping me even gave me a huge hug. I like that they are trying to get to know me and Im not just another customer buying a dress! It actually brought a tear to my eye. I cant wait to continue working with them!

My initial experience at Yvonne's was great. I had a very special experience trying on dresses, etc. I had some difficulties in the alterations process, though. I purchased a lace dress and the alterations presented to me at my final fitting were very sloppy. My lace was frayed, there were large holes left un-sewed, all of the re-seaming was visible, and the belt that I purchased (that fit perfectly at my original fitting the week prior) was suddenly 3 inches too small. I requested that everything be fixed as soon as possible as it was 2 days prior to the wedding, and the staff was very accommodating and flexible with my request. All of the issues were fixed the next day, thankfully; however, it was a very stressful experience so close to the wedding day. I will say that Yvonne, the owner, took care of every concern I had and was a pleasure.

I am not really a Girly girl and excited about dress shopping, and my dress consultant didn't seem to know how to deal with that. I eventually found a dress that was perfect for me. It was pretty pricy - but I think it was worth it in the end.

I found the perfect dress for me! I feel like all brides should have that experience and I definitely got it from the wide selection at Yvonne's. They were so flexible and calm when it came to one of the more stressful wedding planning tasks. The ladies at Bridal Gallery by Yvonne make sure you love what you're wearing and are comfortable for your wedding day. They were able to customize and add some special touches to my gown that made it mine, and the seamstress on staff did a lovely job. My only regret is that my dress cost more than I had hoped. However, it was beautiful and comfortable, and the fabric was great quality. Dresses that I saw at David's Bridal felt so cheap and itchy. Although it was more than I initially planned, I feel like I got what I paid for.

The personalized help at this dress salon is beyond compare. I live in NYC area and came here as my parents are still in Albany area and I am so happy I did. The dress I found was so stunning, and more amazing was the tailoring job the seamstress accomplished for me. I loved my dress, could not even find it in all of NYC after I found it in this store, and decided the service at the salon was worth the trip back--this says a lot when you are a bride with limited time to do everything!

The people were very nice. Appointments did not always run on time as scheduled. But when it was time for your appointment it was all about you. The alterations to my gown to fit me perfectly was great. The bustle was not as good of a job as it could have been. It fell and didn't stay put almost as soon as we tied it all up. So i spent more time than i wanted to trying to fix my gown, which was cutting into the time of me spending with my guests and having a good time. The cost of the alterations is think was steep at $350 and you have to pay in CASH. No check or credit cards. The preservation cost i think was a bit high as well which was $195. All in all, it was a good experience just expensive, but I guess what do you expect with a wedding dress purchase and all that goes with it.

Nothing to rave about, they ordered my dress 2 sizes too big, fortunately I had my alterations done else where. Also did not find the people that worked there too friendly.

I absolutely loved my dress. It was gorgeous. It was me. Yvonne at the Bridal Gallery was fantastic and was not only able to create a one of a kind dress for me but able to accommodate appointment times I needed since I was coming from out of town. Despite this perfection and the fabulous dress itself, I did run into a few problems (although they were so minuscule). First is that I had mentioned (twice) during both my fittings that there was a string sticking out in one of the seams. I was assured that this would be taken care of and the dress with be pressed to perfect. Well, when I went to put it on the day of my wedding the string was still there. Luckily someone had scissors and we very carefully were able to snip it. Lastly, my bustle did not stay up. AT ALL. I don't know if we were told incorrectly how to do it or what but the bustle did not stay and I ended up just holding my train the entire night. The fact is though, that the dress was so beautiful I didn't even care about having to hold it and really it seemed to bother other people more than it did me!

For years, I dreamed of buying my wedding dress. I could not have asked for a better bridal store to make my dreams come true. My consultant was so patient with me and allowed me to ask her a million questions. If you are looking for a bridal store that will make you feel at home then look no further. I can't wait to start my dress fittings. :)

At first I was going to go with a David's Bridal dress. I decided to still go to my Bridals By Yvonne appointment. When we first arrived they told me they were a half an hour behind (no problem) and that their dresses started out at $3,000 and up. This was WAYYYYYYYY out of our budget. So I told her what our budget was and she told me that she would check if she had anything in my size in sample dresses. Low and behold she found 3!!! I tried one on then another and THERE was the dress!!! IT WAS THEEEEEEEE DRESS. It had everything that I wanted and they came in $500 under my budget. I loved them!

I had tried some dresses on at other bridal galleries, but Yvonne's was the best experience I have had! From accommodating my need to move the appointment earlier, to helping me find exactly what I wanted, this was a wonderful experience. I worked with Janice and couldn't have asked for a more helpful associate. She was attentive, helpful, and truly made me feel special. I am a picky customer and she managed to find the EXACT gown for me, and helped me make the dress perfect (adding in a sweetheart neck with scallops, as well as a corset back). I was able to bring my son with me, and did not feel uncomfortable in doing so. She made me feel right at home! What a wonderful experience. I was able to purchase my custom dress, embellished veil, belt, and shoes for under $2200. Just an amazing experience.

No dress in the store over $2000, very easy to stay in budget. Brought in very specific pictures and knew exactly what I wanted, she brought 5 dresses for me to try and picked the first one! I had not gone to any other shops before, but this was amazing. She made you feel comfortable and let you take the time to look at yourself and did not feel rushed. The seamstress was a little hard to understand, and had to go back 3 times to make it fit how I wanted. You have to be stern with her or else she will fit it how she thinks it looks best, since I wanted it very tight, she was hesitant but did it my way and it came out beautiful!

I loved my Wedding Dress and was really happy with the quality of both the product and service. I was undecided between two dresses and they were so helpful and really took the time in helping me decide.

I had a great time picking my dress out here. The staff was so helpful and Yvonne was so nice. The seamstress was a bit intimidating when I went in for my first fitting and I did not feel comfortable leaving after that first appointment because I feel she did not listen to what I was telling her. Because of that, at the second fitting, changes still had to be done. When I did finally pick up the dress it was absolutley perfect but if I had been listened to the first time, it would have been perfect the first time around. Luckily Yvonne was very nice an re-assured me that everything would be the way I wanted when I came to pick it up and it was.
