Gilded Social

ands. 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.

f 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 :)

chelorette. 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!

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!

ed 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!!

old 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 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!

o try on bridesmaid dresses and then the ordering process could not have been easier. Overall Gilded Social was great and easy to work with!

ent 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!

he 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!

mplements 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!!

igner 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!

bout 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!!

er 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!

ng 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!

its 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 :)

t 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

e 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!

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!

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!

that Tanya provides to her customers.

t 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! :)

s pregnant! The service was so great I went back and bought a rehearsal dinner jumpsuit and a reception jumpsuit from them as well!

uldn’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
