Julian Gold Bridal

he other bridal shops I had a few dresses on "hold". I liked them but something was telling me to not pull the trigger on them. After I tried on my array of dresses at JG, I had 3 I couldn't decide between and all 3 were better than anything I had seen elsewhere. Melinda has been great providing updates during my dressmaking process as we are in the midst of COVID-19. She has a close relationship with the rep at the designer I chose. She sent them photos of me in the dress and explained the little tweaks I hoped to make. Because of her communication and genuine relationship, the designer was able to make a few alterations in house during the initial dress making process. I am so grateful for this store and the ladies who helped! I am able to sit back and focus on other pieces of the wedding because I know JG is taking care of my dress!

the lace I wanted with the more modern elegant style that looks perfect on me.

of days for the fitting and alterations, they went above and beyond to make it happen within our timeline so that I could take the dress back to El Paso. They were very professional and paid attention to the fine details. You can tell they love what they do! They made me feel beautiful and confident in my gown and were genuine in sharing in the joy of finding the perfect dress! Would recommend them over and over again!

!! I couldn’t imagine getting my dress anywhere else, and my fittings have gone really well!! I highly recommend Julian Gold to any bride looking!!! I felt 100% fine trying on during covid also!!

town, and tailored my wedding gown perfectly. Being a bride during a pandemic is challenging but Melinda, Yolanda, and Debbie made it such a memorable and enjoyable experience. They are found new friends (and cheerleaders when your bride stress level is at its peak) whose goal are to make you feel and look your best. I can't thank these ladies enough for helping make my wedding day a dream!

n all the options but fell in love with a Monique gown. It’s show stopping and I can’t wait for everyone at my wedding to see it! The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful in trying on and ultimately picking my dress. I went shopping during covid which could have been a downer but everyone there made it so fun and didn’t even feel like anything was missing from my appointment. Can’t wait to be reunited with my dress at JG again. Run don’t walk to find your beautiful dress for your day at JG!

listened to exactly what I was looking for and pulled items that fit that but also pulled styles that would look good on my figure. She also made me feel so comfortable and listened to everything I thought about each dress to help me find the perfect one. It was not a surprise I left that day with a dress I am in love with. Not only did they help me find the perfect dress, but the perfect veil, shoes and jewelry! I cannot wait for my fiancé to see me walk down the aisle!

e such an amazing collection of dresses! I was so thrilled to find my perfect dress at this San Antonio staple!

ted bridal moment, when I found “the one” so special! We looked forward to the drive down there for my fittings in the weeks leading up to my wedding, just knowing we would get such great customer service from not only the bridal salon but the whole store! A week before my wedding, I needed last minute alterations. Not having time to drive down to Corpus, I approached the San Antonio Julian Gold. The first response I received was “you’ve come to Julian Gold, we will take care of you”. Barbie and her team were outstanding and had my dress ready right before my wedding. My mom and I both agree that choosing Julian Gold was the best decision we could have made, they created such an amazing customer experience. Thank you Julian Gold!!

er service by Velma and the Julian Gold bridal team was beyond phenomenal. Last minute appointments, alterations, and after hours were all accommodated for me without the blink of an eye. Yes, the dresses are pricey here, but for a designer dress paired with the service and attention to detail, it was completely worth it. The "dress stress" was nonexistent from day 1 until the day I picked up my dress for my wedding. Julian Gold Bridal is the best!

narrowing down the choices. I've never seen another dress like mine and am so grateful for their customer service and high quality selection. I also found my shoes in the wedding department: 4" heels with lace all over the shoe. Gorgeous!!!

ce Lian Carlo dress and I knew instantly it was the right one for me. My mom lives in San Antonio, but I live in DC and they were very accommodating to my travel schedule for fittings. In fact they had to do a bunch of alterations within two days when I was in town a month before the wedding to make sure it fit right around the bust. Big thank you to Yolanda for her hard and beautiful work. The dress fit like a glove and Nancy made sure to bag my dress in a way where I could transport it on the plane. Ro from downstairs helped me find the perfect jewelry and veil. I definitely recommend Julian Gold.

y phone of different styles they carry. She immediately started looking up the dresses and announcing either that they did not have them in stock, or the price. I told her I knew the prices, and I was willing to pay those, that's why I put them on my list. I got bored with her just staring at the ipad, and got up to look at a few dresses that caught my eye. She saw, and said, "Oh, those are Monique Lhuillier" in this tone that basicaly said, those are NOT in your price range. At this point, she had not asked my name, introduced herself, asked what MOH's name was, shook our hands,never once asks me where I'm getting married, when, what's my fiance's name, what I do for work, anything personal about myself AT ALL. Every rack she saw me look at, she announced the designer's name. Finally she said, "well there's more in the back, come on" and I tentatively followed her back. She pointed out the racks of dresses that were "within my budget". Then she asked, "so I guess you just want a pouffy traditional dress? Or lace?". She didn't pay attention to the list I gave her at all (the answer is- none of those things!) She went to the rack, grabbed one and literally shoved it at me and said, "Here's one." I'm left there, holding it. She just stands there for a while as I dig through all the racks, and finally asks if I'm going to try on the ones I'm holding. She only then takes them from me to hang up in the back room dressing room (which has only one little seat, no pedestal, and bad lighting). MOH asks where she is supposed to sit, and Nancy tells her she can just wait out at her desk. HER DESK. We go to the fitting room, and she tells me that if I want help after I get the gown on she will be outside. I ask if I get any shapewear or a bra and she gave me this hideous look, and told me no. I take one look at the sizes, and they are not sample 12s, but all 6 and 8s, and I know I will be hanging out of all of them. I'm dumbstruck, struggling to put on a big dress by myself. I get one on that I like, and feel really uncomfortable with how poorly it fits and how much it shows. She puts a strap on the back and I go out to show MOH, and because she's sitting at the desk, I'm literally standing in the narrow hall to show her. Not a pedestal, not with nice lighting, nothing.find one I really do like, but its an 8 and has about a 10 inch gap in the back. The back is the most interesting part. I mention to Nancy that it's hard to visualize. She says, "well it's not the hard, see this little piece on the side? That's the back. Just imagine a lot of it." I say I'm uncomfortable because it's so exposing. She says, "Well I guess if you want this, you can pay a fee and I and I will get a larger sample size." I feel so deflated, and mumble, "guess it would help if I wasn't so fat." She just looks at me with a smirk and shrugs. I get so upset I look at her and say, "No, when a bride says she looks fat, the correct answer is that I don't and I look pretty." Again she just shrugs. I see MOH and burst into huge tears. There is a nice large fitting room right by the desk that she didn't put us in, and I hide in there and cry.

dmother wanted me to try on my dress. So I called to tell them when I was picking it up. The lady on the phone proceeded to tell me she didn't have time to help me if I had any questions about my dress and that I couldn't pick it up from the bridal area that I would have to try it on downstairs. It really put me off. First who knows if I am going to have questions... I didn't. Anyways when I got there my dress wasn't even ready. I was so frustrated. They scrambled to press it, sew on a hook and eye, and press the veil. I suggest you get your veil somewhere else. I paid way too much for it! My dress was beautiful. They encouraged me to get it a size larger than I wanted. So I needed alterations. They wanted me to pay $475 to get it altered. I took it somewhere else and paid $125.00. It turned out beautifully.

. She made what was turning into a miserable experience with the bridesmaids dresses into a fabulous one! And the dresses were perfect.

runk show would be going on so I could receive a discount. Upon it arriving we did several fittings requiring multiple alterations and they handled it so perfectly and made me feel so at ease and comfortable. Each time I went in I felt more and more beautiful. They had everything ready when it needed to be and put me in such good hands. I got my bridesmaids dresses at Julian God as well and received a discount and the dresses were absolutely gorgeous! They color was perfect and they literally looked great on every one of my bridesmaids. They were perfect! They're a wonderful bridal salon with beautiful merchandise and take very good care of their clients! I would recommend them to any bride looking for her dress or bridesmaids dresses!

ined or replaced. Upon our first visit, our bridal employee was very short and somewhat absent during the dress try ons. When coming back a second time to confirm that we had found the dress, we worked with a much more pleasurable employee. She was welcoming and helpful in our process. In one of those 2 visits, they took my measurements, asked my height, and asked if I needed extra length on my gown. I left this to their discretion -- thinking they were the professionals. My dress came in (earlier than expected) and upon trying it on realized that it barely touched the floor when I was barefoot and had about a 2 inch gap above the floor with low heels or boots. Needless to say, I cried - my dress was too short! They re-ordered my dress, expedited, with extra length added on. So, when it arrived, I came back in to try it on. I convinced myself that it was longer and much better, my mom kept telling me it was the same length as the other one. They took measurements, and I left. I received a phone call later that week with my consultant informing me that they put me back in the old, short dress, and that I could come back in to try on the new, longer dress to re-do the measurements. At this next fitting, my consultant told me, "One of the other ladies told me I should have just not told you! I just had to be honest with you and let you know." Excuse me??? At this point I was completely disgusted. We brought in a sales associate from downstairs who quickly changed the attitude of the bridal consultants. I had about 5 more fittings (still too many, with more hiccups) before my dress was done. Little to say, I was completely dissatisfied with my experience and have heard similar stories from other brides who purchased their gowns here as well.
