From the moment I arrived at gilded social I felt loved, seen and so so excited. Tanya did THE BEST job of making a girl feel special! The entire thing was personalized and I found the perfect dress within 2 try on’s. I couldn’t recommend shopping here enough!💗✨
Gilded Social is an absolute must for all brides! All body sizes and shapes are welcome here! Tayna (owner) will take such great care of you and truly knows the bridal industry. She will not try to upsell you and genuinely wants you to have the most magical day possible. It truly is the most personal bridal experience in Ohio.
I got married in May of 2024 and used Gilded Social for my dream dress and veil. Tanya was able to special order my gown due to her immense connections within the bridal industry. Getting measured was easy, she took the time to walk through all the options such as split sizing and what would work best for my body type, as well as making me feel comfortable. She made sure I understood the delivery timeline and alteration timeline, allowing everything to come in with plenty of time.
Tanya has treated me as family throughout this entire process! She hosts dinner parties at her house for Gilded brides and is genuine through and through. She even offered to come to my wedding the day of to make sure everything was steamed and fitting just right for my big day! My dress and wedding were a journey she truly cared about, and she even surprised me with the most incredible gift on my big day! I seriously recommend giving Gilded Social a try as you will not be disappointed with the service and passion you receive.
Gilded social is perfection! I found my dress at Gilded Social and Tanya made the whole experience feel so magical! Tanya worked hard to find the dress that not only fit my body type, but my personality too! It was a serendipitous moment when Tanya said “after getting to know you these last two hours, I can’t stop thinking about this one dress. It isn’t at all what you had envisioned originally but fits your energy perfectly.” She could not have been more right, as she found my dream dress that day! I also appreciated everything she did to support me throughout the process, including pressing my dress on the wedding day, delivering the dress to my venue, holding onto the dress for me during the year and taking it to my alteration’s appointments for me! She connected me with her seamstress Mary Ellen who made the dress fit me to a tee. I have loved being a part of the Gilded Social family from that moment on and I love that I got to buy my dress from such an incredible woman-owned business!!!
Any questions?
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gilded Social! First off, charming location in Granville - for Cbus brides, it's a great excuse to road trip with your family/ friends! Second, Tanya provides the most personal, tailored bridal experience. Before we met, she called to discuss all the details like price point, style, etc. I felt like she really took time to listen to what I needed. At the salon, she picked out great options and even had me try on one style I wasn't considering just to rule it out. Shocker, it was the one!! I never would've found it without her. Her seamstress Mary Ellen did an incredible job with alterations! Tanya also has a cute dog that comes to some of the appointment - what more do you want :) She also offers a ton of extras for her brides! She really goes above and beyond - book Gilded Social!
The most amazing experience ever!! I was an emotional bride, very nervous. I would not be able to find something that I loved but Tanya pulled amazing sample dresses based on the styles I sent her. Lucky #2 was the dress I went with and I want to wear it every day! Mary Ellen has a gift when it comes to vision and details with the alterations.
If you want to find an amazing place look no further you definitely want to check them out!! They’re so warm and welcoming and they listen to everything you need and want.
Tanya and Mary Ellen were wonderful! I had a phone call with Tanya with my vision for my dress and she nailed it on the first try. My mom, sister, and I all cried when I said yes to the dress. Mary Ellen was so easy for the alterations! I was in and out quickly and they made the stressfulness around weddings a breeze.
I was so impressed with Tanya and Guilded Social! I walked into my appointment a bit unsure of what kind of dress I wanted, and Tanya did an amazing job listening and intuiting what dress I would LOVE. The alteration process was super easy, and Mary Ellen was a gem to work with.
The Glided Social exceeded my expectations on all fronts! Was very easy to book, the appointments were thorough yet quick, all of my questions were answered, understood the vision for how I want my dress to fit & made it all come to life with no thread out of place. After the wedding my dress was picked up from my home for cleaning/preservation & was delivered back to me within the given time frame. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for reliable & quality alterations!
Tanya dealt with the most unsure bride when I met her at my first appointment. Each dress I tried on was okay but I couldn’t exactly tell her what was wrong with it. She kept encouraging, we kept trying and the moment we finally got the one, it was obvious. From start to finish she was so helpful, so supportive, and so personal. The Gilded Social team was by far one of the best vendors I had the pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. Mary Ellen did OUTSTANDING making my dress fit like a glove. With the help of these ladies I felt like the most beautiful bride and will continue to feel that looking back on my photos forever.
Tanya and Gilded Social were everything and more I could have wanted in finding my wedding dress. I am a very indecisive person and my wedding dress was the first one I tried on. Tanya not only helped me find my perfect dress but she customized it to make it the most beautiful and unique dress there ever was. I am forever grateful for her and this beautiful store and experience. I would choose Gilded Social again and again if I could and recommend anyone and everyone to come here not only for the most perfect dress but for the most fun and best experience to finding a dress!
Thank you Tanya and Gilded Social, I will be forever grateful for you!!!!!! 💗
Tanya and the team at Gilded Social are amazing to work with! As a wedding planner in Columbus, I highly recommend Gilded Social to my clients. I've had past brides and mothers of brides shop from Gilded Social to find their perfect dress. Not only have they purchased their dress here, but have taken advantage of using their steaming services as well. Don't have your bridesmaids ruin their fresh makeup by steaming dresses. Tanya and her team can take care of that! They'll make your day less stressed by being on site and making sure you and your tribe's attire look beautiful and styled, and with white glove service from their team. They can even steam the groom and his groomsmen attire as well! The Gilded Social team will make you feel like a Queen on your special day!
Tanya was amazing to work with. The upfront call made me so comfortable walking in that we had aligned on my vision for my dream dress. Tanya’s shop is so charming and Granville is the cutest town. I ended up purchasing the first dress I tried but Tanya took the time to encourage me to try others on before committing to the dress.
After the appointment she was on top of any questions I had and offering so many tips and advice I would have never thought of. I worked with Mary Ellen through Gilded Social and Tanya was at both appointments which was super reassuring. My dress was such a dream and the whole process was so great and I would definitely recommend brides to look at Gilded Social.
Whether you are booking Tanya for wedding day styling or an appointment at Gilded Social to find your dream dress, you will be in good hands. I have known and worked with Tanya for 3 years and have felt nothing but support from her in all aspects!
To start, the one-on-one approach you get from the start of this process makes it unlike any else. From booking my dress appointment Tanya reached out and had me send her dresses I was interested in trying on. She knew which one had been my absolute favorite so we tried that dress on FIRST and sure enough it was the winner! I love that Tanya stands behind the fact that trying on the favorite/top pick dress first. We continued to try on dresses and I even chose a second one for my reception because I loved it so much. At Gilded Social, your opportunities for customization are almost endless. Depending on the designer, you are able to customize and make the dress fit your exact vision, before you even step into alterations! We did custom sizing, which basically makes the dress fit better from top to bottom. My veil was almost completely customized by me, with Tanya’s help and guidance. We were able to add a blusher and order extra lace fabric that we had Mary Ellen add in alterations to the front of the veil, for a complete custom look. It felt amazing to have a hand in that process.
Now after having such an amazing dress appointment experience I knew I had to book Tanya’s wedding day styling services. I cant stress this enough, she saved the day SO many times!
I had already hired a wedding planner, and having Tanya was still absolutely necessary! She was able to communicate well with all vendors, making the experience ahead of time super simple for myself.
Tanya arrived the morning of the wedding to help steam and prep all dresses. She had even kept my 2 dresses stored because I did not have any room to store them myself. She brought two mannequins to display my dresses on for photos which was absolutely amazing to see! From getting ready to walking down the aisle, Tanya had everything covered. She went with us to the first look to help with my veil, she had everything to help in emergencies (fashion tape, wipes, deodorant, mints, you name it- she had it covered). She was able to help me with my dress and veil as well as my super heavy bouquet. She helped the entire wedding party with their dresses/suits, was able to tell the groomsmen which button to have undone, etc. Basically everything you do not want to think of/stress about as a bride, she had covered!
The wedding day would not go as smooth as it did without Tanya. I truly cannot express how amazing of a job she did at my wedding. If you made it this far, you might as well just book her!!
Tanya and Gilded Social are THE best! After visiting nearly every wedding shop in Columbus, I was getting desperate. I knew exactly what I wanted but was unable to find it in Columbus. I started searching the web for specific dresses and designers. I was looking for Foster by Anne Barge, and Tanya was able to order a loaner gown for me directly from the designer! She was even able to hold it for an extra month, after I was unexpectedly unable to make my appointment. I ended up altering the neckline of the gown, and Tanya patiently walked me through that process as well. Gilded Social was even able to help with alterations, steaming, and gown preservation! Tanya's attention to detail and level of service is absolutely unmatched!
Tanya and her team were the best! She had great intuition on what I might like and I found my dress in record time. My wedding was only a couple months away from when I picked my dress and they not only had the dress fitted perfectly on time (with the extras I wanted), but they did it with seamless elegance. Highly recommend!
While I did not but my dress with Gilded Social, they did provide many excellent wedding services for me still! I had my wedding dress alterations completed here and my dress fit like a glove. I also utilized their wedding dress preservation services. I am excited to see my dress saved for years to come! Tanya is very helpful and responsive.
I cannot rave enough about Gilded Social! The staff is amazing and everyone I have worked with has been the best. They have a great selection of items and always have your best interests in mind. My mom and sister felt like we were in and out of that store at all times during the wedding planning process because they had everything we were looking for! My mom has now found 2 amazing mother of the bride dresses. I found a beautiful rehearsal dinner dress, and all 9 of my bridesmaids dresses. They came in all on time and the color they helped me choose was stunning. Highly recommend going to them for whatever you can!! You guys are the best :)
Highly personalized service and an absolute dream to work with. The styling service is INCREDIBLE!
I had an absolute wonderful experience at Gilded Social! I initially had a bridal appointment scheduled but switched to a bridal ish appointment to look for some dresses for all my upcoming wedding events - shower, rehearsal, after party and bachelorette. I loved the selection and service. The two women I worked with went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and a great experience.
I can not express how much I really enjoyed working with Tanya , the owner. Her professionalism and knowledge of the industry is spectacular! I would highly recommend going here for all your bridal needs!
To any bride anywhere, you don’t need to look any further than Tanya and Gilded Social for the best service around! Once you have found them, you can end the search. We are from Pittsburgh, PA, and Tanya is from Granville, OH. We had originally ordered my daughter’s wedding dress near home and when it came out of alterations, it was pretty much destroyed with no way of fixing it. And we only had 2 months until the wedding! It was my daughter’s dream dress, so of course I spent the next few days trying to track down the dress at another shop. Turns out the designer was from Spain and only 1 or 2 bridal salons per state seemed to carry that brand. I started calling the states surrounding PA and when I contacted Tanya, she did not give me the normal response of “no, we don’t have that dress in stock.” She literally called her rep for the region and found one COMING IN ON A BOAT FROM SPAIN!! She ordered it for us right then and there and immediately had us come out to see it as soon as she received it. She had it set up on a form and had my daughter try it on. Seeing the look on my daughter’s face was priceless! We decided to travel out to Ohio three times for all of the alterations that would be needed to change a size 10 into a size 4. Joyce was beyond any seamstress that I have ever met. She is a MASTER seamstress. She painstakingly altered that dress and even had to reconstruct the back in order for it to have the same look once it was altered to a much smaller size. She is a genius! Tanya continued to check on the progress throughout and truly cared about the whole process. “Impossible” was just a word that was not in Tanya or Joyce’s vocabulary. Together they literally got the dress and transformed it in less than two months. We are FOREVER grateful for them and cannot recommend them highly enough. On a scale of 1-5, they get a 20! Also, the cost of the dress was less than what we paid for it at home, and the alterations would have cost WAY more at the original bridal salon and they couldn’t have come CLOSE to Joyce’s craftsmanship! We felt like great friends with them the entire time and will always have GREAT memories of the whole process with them!
I had the absolute best experience at Gilded Social! I was looking for bridal accessories for my dress and Tanya was so wonderful. She helped me pick out the most perfect pieces for my dress and gave me her honest opinion on how everything looked together. They had such a great variety of items, even local designers for some of the accessories which were beautiful. I was able to pick out the finishing touches for my dress and had such a fun time doing it! Such a wealth of knowledge too. My only regret is that I didn’t also take advantage of their wedding day dressing and detailing service! Not only did I get my bridal accessories at Gilded Social, but they also helped me pick out my bridesmaid dresses and took care of the whole process! I wanted to have a mix and match feel and they gave me so many options with different colors and dress styles/textures. They really helped put everything together and make it all work together. The bridesmaid dresses were so great and my bridesmaids loved them! I would 100% recommend any bride to go to Gilded Social for any of their bridal needs!!
Tanya, I can’t thank you enough for making Alyssa’s wedding day extra special. You literally blew my mind. From fixing every possible issue with the girls to sewing a button on Matt’s shirt. You had a solution for every problem.
When Alyssa told me abt this service initially I thought it was silly. I did not understand the point when she had a wedding planner already. But I had to eat my words when you did your magic. Thank you so much!
I am SO thankful that I used Gilded Social for my dress, bridesmaids dresses, accessories, storage & alterations. Tanya was so easy to work with, super responsive via text and helpful with advice when selecting bridesmaids dresses. I felt like I was getting a great value with every purchase I made from there.
About a month before the wedding, right before I was about to pick up my dress and take it home, I received a call from Tanya personally that there was an issue with my dress. She handled it completely and took such quick action that there was basically no time for me to panic or worry. I caught myself thinking if this had happened at a different shop, I may not have received such great service and the issue may not have been resolved so seamlessly. GS made it right and my dress looked absolutely perfect for my wedding day.
Thank you, Tanya and the rest of the Gilded Social Team!
Highly recommend Gilded Social! I got my bridesmaid dresses here and I am so happy I decided to order through Gilded Social. Tanya and the other staff I interacted with were professional, kind, and helpful. My sister and I went to their store to try on bridesmaid dresses and then the ordering process could not have been easier. Overall Gilded Social was great and easy to work with!
I visited Gilded Social to select the bridesmaid dress colors and vendors for my wedding. I let my bridesmaids pick whatever style they wanted of a given color/fabric/length. I wanted a mismatched look, and Gilded Social was so helpful and patient in pulling multiple colors and helping us determine which combo looked best. There is a large selection of dresses, though some brands are quite expensive. I will say that with my bridesmaids spread throughout the country, it might have been easier to let them order from their local stores, rather than placing all orders through Gilded Social (I ended up flying back with a few of the dresses in my suitcase after I trip home!). My mom also ordered her dress through Gilded. They suggested an amazing seamstress, Carolyn Fang, who also altered my wedding dress. She was truly fantastic!
I had a fantastic experience at Gilded Social's bridal location in Granville. This was my first stop on my search for a wedding dress and I really didn’t know what to expect. The drive out from Columbus to Granville was perfect for getting in the right headspace for dress shopping (and allowed my group to take a fun lunch break in the quaint “downtown” area after). Once we arrived, Tanya was very personable and hospitable toward me, my mom, and my MOH. She was also flexible when I realized mid-appointment that the style of dresses I liked didn’t match the original thoughts I’d had when we spoke prior to my appointment, and she was able to take that information on the fly to pick out a different set of dresses that better suited my style. While I ended up finding my dress elsewhere, I am still grateful for the experience I had here and would highly recommend checking out Gilded Social!
Talk about white glove service, literally!! We made the decision to hire Tanya as a dresser for the day of our daughters wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the first meeting we had with her we knew we would be in good hands. She was very thorough going over details about her services and how it would make our day more enjoyable and stress free. Her services included her making sure all of our bridal parties dresses and tux’s were steamed and wedding day ready. She then has an assistant who helps the men get ready and she spent the day with the bride getting her ready. This service does not only include her being there with us on the wedding day she also came along with us to the final fitting to learn how to bustle the dress. She than took the dress with her and was responsible for the dress till we saw it beautifully displayed on our daughters wedding day. Talk about one less item to have to worry about. As the MOB I was so thankful not to have to worry about getting the dress where it needed to be and making sure it stayed clean and pressed before the wedding. What came next was was a complete surprise to us, but when it was time for our bride to be to get dressed, we walked into the bridal suite to an unbelievable sight. The dress was displayed on a dress stand along with all of her accessories. It was so much more than a dress hanging in the window from a hanger. A detail I would have never have thought of. The pictures are so beautiful. Tanya, who wore white gloves, proceeded to help our daughter get dressed while I had a brief moment to get myself dressed. Do not under estimate this opportunity. After I was dressed, I was able to join my daughter for the one on one moment where I got to see her for the first time beautifully dressed. I then was able to help with the finishing touches. Tanya was with us for the remainder of the day. She was involved with the pictures, again giving me time to take a breath and not have to worry about carrying a train or the dress not looking right in the pictures. She was the one who did all of that. She was by my daughter’s side, white gloves and all, up until we walked down the aisle. Her final service was to help bustle the dress after the ceremony. She escorted the bride to the bridal suite and got her all bustled and cocktail/reception ready. Which again, gave me an opportunity to be with our guests and took one more item off of my to do list. Do not underestimate this service. As everyone says, the day goes so fast, there are so many things to worry and handle the day of. And if you are able to have someone by your side to handle all the items I listed above I highly recommend you hire Tanya.
Gilded Social is absolutely incredible! During my styling appointment, they worked with me to make sure my vision came life!! I wanted a burnt orange/rust mix n’ match in different fabrics as well. It turned out perfect! I received so many complements on how the dresses looked and most importantly, the girls were comfortable in what they were wearing! We also did mother of the bride/groom dresses and they both looked so good! The stylist helped me through color choices for the moms so again, they could be comfortable and pictures would still look amazing, but they wouldn’t have to match the wedding colors. I cannot recommend Tanya and her team enough!!
SIMPLY AMAZING!! Tanya went above and beyond to find the matching veil to my discontinued designer bridal gown. After being rejected by multiple bridal salons throughout the US, we found Gilded Social/Tanya who was able to reach out to the designer and have the discontinued veil handmade for us.
Behind the scenes, Tanya worked tirelessly to make alternate arrangements to have the veil made when the original shop it was being created in shut down due to COVID. She made sure everything was in order for us to get the veil in time for the wedding despite these unforeseen circumstances. She stayed in touch with us every step of the way to keep us informed on the progress.
The veil arrived in perfect condition; it was gorgeous and better than we even imagined!!
Tanya was absolutely wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend Gilded Social for any of your wedding needs!
Ok first of all- the help to coordinate my mix and match bridesmaid dresses was amazing! There was no stress to that process at all! But the must-have service is for the bridal styling on the day of the wedding! I can’t say enough good things about having Tonya there as an extra set of hands and eyes. Having everyone’s dresses steamed and ready go was a huge help and allowed to people to have more time to relax and enjoy the morning. She helped with flowers, carrying my train, bustling, etc so that my mom and maid of honor could also enjoy the day! After pictures I had no idea how wrinkled my dress would be and she was able to steam it at the venue before I walked down the aisle. We had a groomsman rip his pants, a groomsman spill on his shirt, and a bridesmaid with a strap come undone - all before the ceremony. But Tonya was there to fix ALL OF IT!! Without safety pins!! She had a sewing kit with the appropriate thread colors on hand - literally ready for anything! Her services are well worth every penny! I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her and what the stress level would have been if she wasn’t there to help! As a bride she will have your back that day for anything and everything you will need- allowing the rest of your bridal party to enjoy!! If you’re on the fence about hiring her, DO IT! You will not regret it!!
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. I'm someone who really only shops online, and I've got to say this was SO MUCH BETTER!
I came across Gilded Social after my original dress designer was not able to follow through on the custom wedding dress design we had agreed upon. With less than two months til my wedding, I frantically emailed Tanya on a wing and a prayer hoping they could help me get a specific dress [one I was told was impossible to get by the designer] in time. She responded almost immediately and talked me through measurements and details, and had my dress ordered by lunchtime that day. I didn’t think it was possible to get the dress I wanted given the timeline, but they made it happen! Tanya went through each element of how and when the dress would arrive and the timeline associated with shipping my dress from their shop in Ohio to my home in Florida.
I can’t say enough about this level of service! These ladies helped me make the absolute best out of this situation.
It wasn’t the dress I originally dreamed of wearing on my wedding day, it was better! Thanks so much y’all!
I scheduled two appointments with Gilded Social - one for my bridesmaids and one for myself so that I could find something to wear for my rehearsal dinner. Both experiences were amazing! We had so much fun shopping. I tried on two bridal jumpsuits for the rehearsal and ended up going with the lower price because it felt more reasonable, even though I was in love with the higher priced jumpsuit! The designer ended up canceling the original order but Tanya stepped up and ordered the higher priced jumpsuit at no extra cost to me. Wedding planning was a little stressful due to COVID, but this absolutely was a bright spot in the process! My bridal jumpsuit was perfect. My mom ended up buying a dress from the sample sale and she looked amazing. Highly recommend Tanya and the Gilded Social team :)
Being a bride in 2020 was far from easy. It was full of canceled invited, plans and heartache. One thing I knew I never needed to worry about was the dresses. Tanya and her team made it SO easy for me. When two of my three bridesmaids backed out just 4 days before the wedding Tanya called me and asked how she could help. The team went through their whole store to find any dresses that could match my color scheme for my new bridesmaids. Given the time constraint Tanya hand hemmed the dresses for my girls. My wedding would not have been such a dream without the gilded squad
I booked Gilded Social as my getting ready location before my wedding. All of the girls at Gilded Social went above and beyond to make it a special morning/afternoon. They were quick to respond to calls/emails and gave us great suggestions as we planned for the morning. They were very sweet and helpful with everything we needed day of (like they even came outside to help me unload my car !!). They let us bring snacks/champaign and we had the entire space to ourselves. The space itself is beautiful and we captured so many great getting ready photos. I couldn’t have picked a better place to start my wedding day!
I LOVE this shop, everyone should take their bridesmaids here! Brit was so helpful in sorting through the hundreds of shades of grey until I found the perfect one, and helping us find the most flattering style as well. She then coordinated with all of my other bridesmaids from out of town over email and phone to help them easily order their dresses.
The shop is beautiful, and very clean. I was so happy to be able to support a local business and see the dresses in person, versus shopping online. This is a must-do for Columbus brides!
Gilded Social is hands down the best shop to work with for your bridesmaids.
Whether or not you have a vision for your wedding already, their talented consultants can work with you to envision how your ladies dresses will work with your style, your photographer’s style, and the feel of your venue.
Their consultants also make an effort to make a personal connection with you and your bridesmaids, and make you feel like you’re looking at dresses with girlfriends, not with salespeople. They are also respectful and willing to work within your desired budget, and won’t push a look or price range you are not comfortable with.
I 100% recommend Gilded Social for all bridesmaid/bridal accessory/MOB things!
We know good dresses when we see them. 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.
Gilded Social is such an amazing store and has the best ownership/employees! From the beginning of the process of finding bridesmaid dresses, all the way to pick-up/delivery - they could not do a better job. They also are so flexible and patient as you try on - and have the BEST process to help you understand all of your color/style/fit options in the least overwhelming way possible. THE place to go! :)
Could not have asked for a better experience selecting bridesmaid dresses! The staff was super helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. They went above and beyond, even helping one of my bridesmaids get a last minute dress when she found out she was pregnant! The service was so great I went back and bought a rehearsal dinner jumpsuit and a reception jumpsuit from them as well!
Hi Tanya,
I came to your store in November, without an appointment and with my two daughters and best friend, looking for dresses.
You spent hours with us - while we shopped the sample sale only - as I was getting married in January. You couldn’t have been any kinder or pleasant to work with, and you were so great with my girls and helping them both find dresses they loved. (And again, we purchased three SAMPLE SALE dresses!)
THANK YOU !!!!
My girls looked beautiful and absolutely loved their dresses, as did I. I’ll definitely recommend Gilded Social and be back when I need another fancy occasion dress.
Thank you so much !!
Kim
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 didn't 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 couldn't be happier with how the dresses turned out! Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance along the way!
I contacted Gilded Social initially because they were one of the only stores in the state to carry the specific dress and designer I wanted to try on, which is a testament to their amazing inventory. I was able to make an appointment quickly and when I arrived they had the dress I had in mind already waiting. Two of the three bridesmaids lived out of state so I was dreading coordinating the dresses. Gilded Social made the process seamless, and honestly a really fun experience. 11/10 would recommend to any bride who wants their bridesmaids to feel as special and gorgeous as they do on their special day!
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 can't be returned and are all in the same dye lot). I whole heartedly recommend them to any bride - the selection is AMAZING, and I can't wait to go back whenever I need a special occasion dress myself!
Gilded Social was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! My 8 bridesmaids looked stunning and I couldn't be happier. For my summer wedding, I wanted to do a blush/neutral color palette with mixed and matched dresses. Tanya was SO amazing at bringing this vision to light. Each of my bridesmaids live out of town, and she was super accommodating with getting appointments for each of them when they were available. I would recommend Gilded Social for all of your bridesmaid and fancy occasion dress needs! Remember to shop local!
I had a great experience with Gilded Social! I planned my wedding from another state and they made everything so easy, simple no hassle with me and my 9 bridesmaids. Nice to know something can go smooth when planning your wedding and they were so helpful! I ordered the Jenny Yoo Whisper Blue color and 3 different styles that I'm still obsessed with!

Oh my gosh, Jocelyn, is that color not the best or WHAT?!? We're obsessed too. Thank you so much for coming to us for your bridal party styling. It couldn't have turned out more perfectly.
Glided Social is THE experience for your girls to have! All the weddings I've been apart of went to David's Bridal, but for mine I wanted a local business and a place my girls could have a day meant for them! Started out with complimentary champagne while the girls tried/found the style dress they wanted. My Matron of Honor just had a child, and Glided Social was able to guide her on finding a dress style that would work well with her body type and the transition it would be taking within the next months. She as well as all of the them felt confident and comfortable on my wedding day in August!

t perfect look and style for everyone!
Working with Gilded Social was a dream come true! Picking out bridesmaid dresses was a very daunting task for me but when I walked in the door here all my worries went away. The aesthetics and feel of the showroom was so cute, comfortable and trendy. Brit totally picked up on the vibe I was going for and helped me execute it to perfection. I picked out 10 dress for my 6 bridesmaids to choose from and each picked their favorite, and strangely enough, they each had different favorites! Then we executed a light pick color scheme - all in the light pink family and varying textures. Overall, it was so nice to work with the Gilded Social team and I would recommend anyone in the area to use them (or Cincinnati - I traveled)!

The ladies at Gilded Social were great to work with! They were so accommodating to my large wedding party and my idea that every bridesmaid get their own individual dress. They took care of sizing, ordering, timeline, and made the whole process so seamless.
Also the boutique is super cute! I will definitely be back for special occasion dresses. They have all the designers I love!

Azmara - you all were the best! We absolutely loved your girls' style and could not have enjoyed working with them more. Thank you so much for including us in your special weekend and yes - please come back soon!
My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law used the space at Gilded Social to get our hair and makeup done before my wedding in August. It was the perfect space - we had PLENTY of room, could bring our own breakfast, and they provided mimosas!
The room is bright, cheery, and decorated beautifully so our pictures came out great. Both our makeup artist and hair stylist had plenty of room to work and we didn't feel like we were all on top of each other. The location downtown is great because it was close for everyone, and parking was easy right across the street. Tanya was especially helpful in planning the morning, and even gave me a "wedding kit" when I left which was full of necessary items and some snacks, which came in handy!
Gilded Social is a great place to rent for pre-wedding activities!

The whole team at Gilded Social was amazing! They were helpful and truly cared about making sure that everything was perfect! They went above and beyond in every single way. They organized all of the bridesmaids ordering their dresses and making sure that they had them on time. They also had a wonderful selection! I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with them. Additionally, when I decided I wanted a second dress to change into at the reception--they helped to make it happen! Everyone raved about it!

Tanya, Brit, and crew at Gilded Social were great to work with! I went there both as a bride picking out dresses for my bridesmaid and as a bridesmaid picking out a dress and I can say that they make both processes amazingly easy!! Brit was so helpful and had great ideas when I was trying to pull my mix and match look together for my bridesmaid and flower girls! Going in as a bridesmaid was just as great! They showed me the different styles I could pick from and I was easily able to choose the one I wanted! Their selection of brands is top notch and they have lots of styles to choose from which I loved! I would highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020

Gilded Social did an incredible job with helping me pick my bridesmaids dresses. Their selection is far greater than what I found at other stores, with a wide variety of styles. If you're looking for unique options, definitely come here. The shopping atmosphere is relaxed and fun! Tanya and Brit are great to work with and super personable! They will listen to your wants and needs! I couldn't recommend them more!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Thank you so much, gal. I so appreciate your kind words and it was just an absolute thrill to work with you. We are so proud of our selection and are happy you felt that it exceeded your other experiences!
After countless hours of going through bridesmaid dresses online my maids and I decided to schedule a few appointments to try on in person. I am so glad we chose gilded social! The experience and personalized service was so great. We were the only people there and were very impressed by the wide selection. Ordering, pickup, and communication were so easy. Such a wonderful experience! My bridesmaids were absolutely stunning!!

Chelsey! Thank you! I'm so glad you ditched the screen and came to shop with us! Your look turned out just perfectly. And I'm so grateful that the process worked well for you. That makes me so happy.
Gilded was SO helpful for myself and 5 bridesmaids. Most of them were from out of town and I wanted them all in different styles & colors of blush, so t it wasn't exactly an easy task. Gilded made the measurement and ordering process seamless for my maids. Everyone received their gowns with plenty of time for alterations and they all looked AMAZING on our big day :) Tanya & her team have the cutest boutique and made our day so fun.
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Oh my gosh, Lauren - your look was just to DIE! Absolutely gorgeous, just like a fairy tale. Thank you so much for coming to us and making us a small part of your perfect day.
Working with Gilded Social to find bridesmaids dresses was such great and a fun experience. They have the most adorable store and offer you and your girls mimosa’s while trying on dresses. Tanya and Brit were great to work with! Super patient and kind. When I went in I knew what I wanted but didn’t know where to start. I showed them my vision board and they grabbed a few styles, colors and patterns and my vision was complete. I would highly recommend going to Gilded Social. They make is so easy to work with them, even for my bridesmaids who weren’t in town. I am so happy with how the dresses turned out and the turnaround was so quick.

Gilded Social did an amazing job helping me select my bridesmaid dresses for my wedding! Since I was planning from out of state, Tanya went above and beyond, even FaceTiming me dress options to ensure I had the perfect color.
They have a wide selection of dresses - truly something for everyone! She was prompt and communicated order deadlines to make certain the dresses arrived with plenty of time before the big day! She made the process so easy and I would definitely recommend Tanya and Gilded Social for all bridal party, and fancy occasion needs!

Working with Gilded Social to find bridesmaids dresses for my wedding was the most fun and easy experience! I had such a great time bringing some of my bridesmaids into the studio to try on dresses! Brit and Tanya could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. They both really helped us find dresses that fit my vision AND that my bridesmaids love! Thanks to their expertise, large selection, and many customizable options, I was able to find the perfect dresses for each of my bridesmaids. If you are a bride looking for the perfect dresses for your best girls, go no further ;)

Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Thanks so much, gal! We loved working with you. Your look was the best!!
Shop Gilded Social was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful when choosing my bridesmaids dresses and understanding the style I was going for.

Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Oh thank you, Ally! Your entire party was just so fun to work with! Thank you for coming to us and finding that perfect look. It was absolutely STUNNING!
What a wonderful, overall experience with Gilded Social! It all began with informative email exchanges to see if I was a fit for their shop. Next came the helpful search for the perfect dress - they even ordered a few dresses they did not have to make sure my selection was complete. I enjoyed the warm and friendly atmosphere spent within their shop, I truly felt special picking out my dress. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you for your kindness and being a part of my wedding.

much for coming to us to find that perfect style.
Tanya was great!
As a "mature" bride, my needs were a bit different. I was quite specific about what I was looking for, but once she met me she pulled some very different styles. They were absolutely perfect! Within an hour I had picked and purchased the prefect dress and at a very reasonable price.
I would go back for any special occasion that will grace my future!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Oh my gosh, Leslie - you were so great to work with. Thank you! I absolutely loved your look. It couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you so much for trusting us with your style for such a special moment.
Tanya and the staff at Guilded Social were SO helpful when we were picking out our bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. They were really knowledgeable and helped guide us during the entire process. The dresses looked amazing on our bridesmaids and our flower girls were the absolute cutest. Cannot recommend them enough.
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Meryl - thank you so much!! I'm so happy that we were able to make everything work out exactly as you'd envisioned. Such a GORGEOUS look!
Working with the ladies at Gilded Social was a seamless and fun experience! I first rented two dresses for our engagement shoot from them. It was amazing getting to try on and pick out the dresses in person, and you knew ahead of time the quality of what you were getting rather than renting online. The dresses worked perfectly and looked amazing in the pictures! Then the process of shopping and ordering the bridesmaids dresses was super easy. We worked mainly with Brit and she was always super helpful with anything that we needed, and had the champagne ready & waiting—which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend going to Gilded for all your Bridesmaid gown needs.
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Oh my gosh, Paige. You are one of our all time favorites! Thank you so much for coming to us to style everything - it all worked out just perfectly. That engagement shoot will for sure live down as one of the best ever!
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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Lucinda!!! Thank you! We just LOVE with brides become bridesmaids and bridesmaids become brides. It's one of our very favorite parts of this business. We so appreciate your kind words and can't wait to see you back again soon.
The absolute best place to buy bridesmaid dresses! They were so helpful during the entire process and have SO many dress options! I even switched the dress color from blush to navy during our initial appointment and they were so accommodating and helpful! Everyone that works there is so friendly! Highly recommend Gilded Social!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Thank you so much, Katie - you rockstar, bride, you! We absolutely loved working with you and all your girls! Thank you so much for including us in your wedding weekend style.
Oh my gosh. Gilded. Swoon. I walked into the store knowing that I wanted a specific dress for my girls, the Jenny Yoo convertible dress. But I was torn on colors. I wanted two different colors to have a little ombre effect, and really needed their help. I knew I loved pastel colors, but my mom loved jewel tones... OPPOSITES! Gilded was so fabulous at hearing what I wanted, hearing what my mom wanted, and finding the perfect colors that made my vision come true. I was OBSESSED with the dresses. OBSESSED. The colors were absolute perfection, and I don't think I could have picked them if it wasn't for Gilded's expert eye!!! All my girls LOVED their dresses, too, and the process was so simple!! Thank you Gilded for being the very best!! I honestly love having an excuse to go back to the store (my sister used them for her wedding, too, after I had such a great experience!) because they make you feel like you're a part of the family. You feel like you're visiting your best friends when you're at Gilded. They make everything so wonderful, special and fun. And... I mean, what more could you want from your bridesmaid dress shopping experience? No stress needed at Gilded!! They're the B E S T!!!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
OMG JULIE SWOON!!! Thank you so much for your everlasting support of our shop and our mission. We are so excited to have helped you put together that absolutely magical winter bridal party look. We agree! It couldn't have been more perfect....
Thank you so much for your faith in us!
Gilded Social is by far the best place to go for bridesmaid dresses! After working with Brit to pick a dress for my sisters wedding, I knew I wanted to go back to pick out dresses for my own wedding! Brit and Tanya are extremely knowledgeable and really listen to what you want! Brit was so patient after I changed my mind on the original look I had picked. She worked with me to set up another time to come into the store and helped me find something that I really loved. The experience at Gilded Social is very unique- they make picking out bridesmaid dresses so easy and fun!
Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2020
Hannah - you are the best! Thank you so much for your kind words. Your whole crew was just perfect!!! We're so happy to have been able to work with you to put together your look.
Tanya and Brit from Gilded Social were absolutely fantastic to work with! The experience these ladies provide and the selection available at Gilded Social made shopping for bridesmaid dresses very enjoyable and one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning. I am not a very loud person, so I appreciated being able to schedule an appointment just for me and my bridesmaids and not worry about competing for assistance with other groups. I came in with a dress in mind for my bridesmaids that I wanted to see, but Brit was very helpful in picking out others to try and giving suggestions that would work with my venue. The ordering process was even easier. Three of my four bridesmaids were out of town, and I wanted to pay for a portion of their dresses as part of my gift to them. It was so easy to provide my bridesmaids with a link and instructions for filling out the order form. Gilded Social then followed up with me just as we agreed, so that I could pay the balance when the dresses arrived. I really appreciated all the communication and follow up from Gilded Social. They sent me notes after the first appointment with the two dresses I liked the most and links to them. They sent a reminder for the date I should have my bridesmaids order their dresses as it approached. They notified me when the dresses arrived/were shipped to my bridesmaids. They even mailed me a lovely card after my wedding. If you appreciate good communication along with an excellent selection of dresses, go to Gilded Social!

Elisabeth - Thank you so so much for sharing your experience with us! We are so thrilled to have been such a special part of your day. It sounds like our process was a total success for you and that makes me OH so happy!
This place is a joke. I have NEVER dealt with a more rude staff! Like, comically rude. Heaven forbid you ask questions, or find it odd that they do not have a seamstress on staff. Weddings are stressful, and this place just adds to the stress. Did not make the bridesmaid experience fun or exciting. HORRIBLE SERVICE, which I cannot stress enough. Would never return or recommend this place.

Brit at Gilded Social went above and beyond to make sure my bridesmaids and I had a great experience. I wanted everyone in something completely different and Brit was able to help find everyone something that they loved. They have a great selection, a comfortable space & are so easy to work with! I can not say enough good things about their team!

Sydney - THANK YOU! It is so great to hear this! Brit is our MASTER mix and match artist so I am just so thrilled she was able to style something perfect for you. We love having you in!
Gilded social was amazing to work with! I got married in December and had a formal wedding and both Tanya and Brit helped me pick out bridesmaid dresses that were my style and would fit my venue/season. They also gave good advice for which dresses would flatter certain body types, which I found to be very helpful! I am such an indecisive person and when it came to being a bride, I was extra indecisive! I changed my mind multiple times when picking the right dress for my girl, but they. were SO accommodating and put my mind at ease. I have recommend Gilded Social to all of my friends and will continue to recommend. :) Such a fun experience and Columbus is lucky to have Gilded Social as one of their talented wedding vendors!

Gilded Social far exceeded my expectations. The selection was phenomenal and staff was extremely helpful. I found my beautiful dress here,which I discovered the same day was being sold at a competitors’ store with far ruder staff for a $200 markup. I can’t wait to wear it down the isle!

Allison - we are in LOVE with what you chose! We just cannot wait to see it. Thank you so much for shopping with us!
We had so much fun at Gilded Social. When we arrived at the shop, they welcomed us with mimosas to get us in the wedding spirit. The space is adorable and offers a vast selection of dresses. Tanya and Brit were so helpful in narrowing down the options to help us find the perfect dress. They were incredibly organized and efficient when my 10 bridesmaids came in to get measured. I highly recommend Gilded Social for future brides!
