I had the loveliest experience with Julian Gold Bridal and loved every interaction with Yolanda and Melinda. Choosing a dress is a very intimate process and I loved sharing every piece of it with Yolanda. They helped select my dress, were able to rush order it (my engagement was a brief 4.5 months), and have all the alterations completed with plenty of time to spare. Yolanda is the sweetest and is a wealth of knowledge. She gave me infinite tips and tricks and shared many, many years worth of experience to make sure my bridal portraits and wedding happened flawlessly.
I gained a sweet friend in Yolanda and will really miss seeing her weekly!
I can’t say enough good things about Julian Gold Bridal - they are incredible!!! I had the best experience with Melinda, Yolanda and Sadé. They went above and beyond, have so much knowledge and experience, and were so flexible and communicative throughout the entire process.
I purchased both my rehearsal dinner and wedding dress here. For the wedding dress, they saved the day. Long story short, they were able to have my dream dress ready in a few days, alterations and all. Miracle workers!
The in-house tailors are also so talented and make it very convenient to have it all done there. The experience at Julian Gold is in a different league. They truly love what they do and have the highest quality dresses!!
Yolanda is the fairy god mother you need. The gowns at JG are the highest quality you'll find.
Melinda was amazing, so nice, supportive, and professional! She warned me that many brides end up chosing a dress different than what they imagined walking in. She was definitely right, but she also found the perfect dress to beautifully tie in the lace I wanted with the more modern elegant style that looks perfect on me.
Julian Gold Bridal of San Antonio helped me find my DREAM wedding dress! It was such a pleasure working with Melinda and Yolanda. They went above and beyond to make our experience easy, fun, and incredibly special. Even when I only had a couple 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 absolutely loved my experience at Julian Gold!! All the ladies are so knowledgeable and friendly and they have such a great inventory of dresses. I wanted something with sleeves and I found my dream dress the first day I went to try on there!!! 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!!
The ladies at Julian Gold bridal is the dream team! They ordered a dress that was unavailable elsewhere in the city (which arrived a month early!), booked fitting appointments promptly around my work schedule & wedding parties being from out of 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!
These women are the best! They helped me find the dress of my dreams and I’m so grateful!
Julian Gold was such a great experience from beginning to end. Beautiful salon, such sweet staff, and the best gown selection. I had my mind set on wearing Monique Lhuillier to my wedding and they had her most gorgeous dresses. I loved trying on 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!
Julian Gold’s team in their bridal department is the best! Not only do they have a beautiful and extensive selection of gowns of all styles and silhouettes. Their team members make you feel like one of their own as soon as you enter. My stylist 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!
Julian Gold is unparalleled in class and accommodation! Yolanda and Melinda are experienced professionals and for good reason. They were both so creative, understanding and attentive in assisting me find my perfect dress. It helps that they have such an amazing collection of dresses! I was so thrilled to find my perfect dress at this San Antonio staple!
I went a to a handful of other bridal shops and the quality was INCOMPARABLE to what I found at JG. Yolanda and Melinda were fantastic; they first asked what styles I liked and my price range. Both were very respectful of both. Upon visiting the 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!
I feel extremely blessed I got to work with TWO Julian Gold Bridal Salons!!
I ventured down to the Corpus Christi salon for a Hayley Paige trunk show and found the perfect dress!
Elena was so patient and helpful, she helped make that anticipated 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!!
I was nervous about being able to find an affordable dress but with their variety of selection and price ranges, I was able to find the perfect dress under $800 here! My fitting was very personal and the seamstresses did a great job. Loved it!
Julian Gold Bridal is more than I could have asked for from a bridal salon. Julian Gold was my first and only stop while dress shopping. Velma picked up on my style and vision and absolutely nailed it. I bought my dress the same day. The customer 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!
I thought I knew what I wanted for my wedding dress but when I walked into Julian Gold, I found something completly different that was a huge hit at the wedding!
Barbie was amazing. She made me feel like a princess and was very helpful with 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!!!
Big thank you to Nancy and the staff at Julian Gold for helping me find my dress! They were very helpful. I had tried on a bunch of other dresses at other salons earlier in the day and nothing felt right. They put me in a beautiful strapless lace 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.
Barbie and her team are amazing. I was seriously just going to "look" I knew it was slightly out of my price range, but honestly she made me feel like a princess and the dress was perfect.
I bought my Rehearsal Dinner Dress as well as honeymoon wardrobe here - always great things!
I attended a Tuesday afternoon appointment to shop for my bridal gown with my maid of honor. First words Nancy asked me was what my budget is. I told her, and she asked if I was there to try on a specific dress. I said no, but I had a list on my 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.
They have a lot of higher end stuff. But they also have a room that is more reasonable. I chose my dress from the more reasonable section and it was perfect. You do get quality service here.
I bought my dress 6 months before my wedding. I went with my mom, mother in-law, and part of my bridal party! We had a blast! My sales consultant was very helpful and friendly. The only issue I had was when picking up my dress my MIL and Grandmother 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.
I definitely recommend Julian Gold Bridal if you don't mind splurging on a designer dress.
Everyone was very friendly. I was working with a very limited budget. They worked with me and helped it to be the best experience!
Every time we visited the shop was a great experience. From trying on dresses to accessorizing and fittings. The staff was amazing-- especially Amber. And I cannot say enough great things about their alterations dept.
I could spend hours talking with Barbie at Julian Gold. She is the sweetest, kindest and most helpful lady. She outfitted me to perfection, loved my veil and flowers. They have the best dress selection in San Antonio, for bridal and bridesmaids. She made what was turning into a miserable experience with the bridesmaids dresses into a fabulous one! And the dresses were perfect.
Barbie and the entire bridal department at Julian Gold took such good care of me through the wedding dress selection, alterations and fittings process. I found my dress immediately and they made ordering it so easy and told me to wait until a trunk 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!
When shopping for wedding dresses in San Antonio, we thought Julian Gold would be our best choice in San Antonio because they are a well known, upscale establishment. How wrong we were. Their entire bridal department employees needs to be retrained 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.
Yolanda was my consultant and she was fabulous. The customer service at Julian Gold is amazing. You will never have to worry about a thing when you get your dress here because the staff will make sure it is perfect. We are longtime customers to Julian Gold and so there was no question about where to buy the most special dress you will ever wear. Julian Gold is by far the best bridal salon in San Antonio!
I got my Monique Lhullier dress from Julian Gold. The whole experience was wonderful. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. The selection of dresses is great.
I purchased my dress and veil from here via their sample sale room. Great selection and was happy to support a wonderful store that my family has shopped in for generations
Julian Gold has gorgeous dresses, but more importantly their customer service is out of this world. I worked with Barbie, who is absolutely amazing and makes the entire experience a joy, although all of the consultants there are warm and friendly. I had an out of town wedding and when UPS lost my Vera Wang dress 4 days before the wedding, Barbie, Amber and the rest of the team at Julian Gold could not have been more wonderful with helping me find a new dress and alter it in time. Fortunately, UPS ultimately found my original dress and I was able to wear it on my wedding day, but I am so thankful to Barbie and Julian Gold for all that they did. If I could give them a 10 stars, I would!
My experience at Julian Gold was awesome. I loved the dress, and my seamstress, Dora, did an awesome job making a bolero that I could wear during the ceremony (the church required my shoulders to be covered). I was then able to remove it for the reception, and it was like I had a whole new dress! The service is awesome--definitely ask for Yoli & Dora.
Julian Gold was so easy to work with. We were on a time crunch and worked with me to make sure my dress was perfect. We added straps to mine and they did an incredible job "making a new dress."
Barbie is the absolute best!!! It was such a joy working with her and her staff. Best bridal salon in SA!
I feel in love with a Christos wedding gown, way out of my original budget and they were willing to sell me the same to make it more affordable. Everyone that worked there was great and they had tons of beautiful designer gowns!
Julian Gold was wonderful, in the sense that the staff is great, they kept my dress in storage for a REALLY long time (I got it waaay before my wedding date), and that the dress was on time and absolutely beautiful.
However. They didn't double-check the beading on my dress after my bridal portrait, nor did they sew the bustle on my dress, even though they promised me they would!
Not that it mattered -- I'm super laid-back and just tucked the end of my dress into the back of my dress so that people wouldn't trip on it during the reception. But still.
You'd think that when you pay upwards of $4K for a dress, they'd do the small adjustments.
I loved my consultant! She always make me feel comfortable and was always just a phone call away. the dress looked BEAUTIFUL the day of the wedding!
Very attentive. Small salon. Clean. Dresses very unique.;Upscale expensive salon
very attentive, scheduled many fittings to make sure the dress fit perfectly, nice atmosphere
