We choose to get our bridesmaids dresses from Bridal Gallery by Yvonne because of their wide selection. We went shopping for our dresses back in January (for an October wedding). My girls and I had picked out the ones that we wanted and were told to make sure that everyone was fitted by mid March. Simple enough. I ended up calling at the end of March / beginning of April to ensure that the dresses had been ordered and was told that the last girl had just come in to get fitted and that they would be placing the order (my last girl had been fitted around St. Patricks day). I called again a week or so later to make sure that they had been ordered and had been told “they had been meaning to call me”. Apparently the designer was no longer making my dress and they didn’t know if they’d be able to get me the one that I wanted. I spoke to Yvonne herself who volunteered to send me pictures of other similar options. Thankfully when I had left the salon I hadnt made up my mind so we had ... Read morea back up dress in mind and she was going to call the designer again and let me know by the end of the week which dress would be ordered. No one called me back and when I called the next week it was as if that conversation never happened and I was told “oh no we can’t get you that dress” by the woman who answered the phone. I asked her to place the order of the “back up dress” and stopped in the following week to make sure it had been ordered. At this point it was the beginning of May! When it came time for the dresses to come in, the girls called the store several times and were promised calls back (which they did not receive) and it took one of them going to the salon to see when the dresses would be in. They told her September 13th. I stopped into the store that day since I hadn’t heard anything and had bridesmaids traveling in from out of town for my bridal shower that weekend. When I got to the store the woman working told me that she couldn’t find my paper work and wasn’t sure if my dresses were in but stated that she would call Yvonne and have her call me back. This time I did get a call back stating that the dresses would be in on Monday (after my girls left town again) but that the salon would mail her dress for $20ish dollars (something that I feel should have been complimentary considering all of the other delays that occurred throughout the process)! The girls did end up getting all of their dresses and looked absolutely beautiful and I am actually glad that we ended up with the dresses that they wore, however the entire process was extremely unsettling and frustrating! I had a not so great experience with them in the past and decided to give them a second chance. Every time I spoke to someone on the phone they were super polite and nice, however getting the answers that I needed along the way was quite the challenge!

It was refreshing how they took their time and had a positive energy. As a plus-sized bride I felt welcome there.

My experience with Yvonne's was great. They accommodated me and my wife and made sure I was not shown her dress when trying on mine. We both had great experiences I had 3 fittings and she had 2 and our dresses were ready to go when they said. The only thing was we were provided with cheap plastic dress bags instead of a black and white Yvonne's bag like they told us. Now my mothers experience she had gotten a mother of the bride and and mother of the groom dress both here. First issue was with the mother of the groom dress the seamstress was over an hour late for her first fitting. On the second when she went to get the dress she was not told the alterations needed to be paid in cash, so she paid for that when she did the fitting for her mother of the bride dress. On to that now was that when she went to pick up her mother of the bride dress it was not finished. It was apparently a two day process for that to get resolved. So just be aware that experiences may differ

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

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

Please do not make the same mistake I did; go with another bridal shop. My experience with Bridal by Yvonne was an absolute nightmare. Bridal attendants were often rude and dismissive of any concerns or questions from myself or anyone with me at the appointments. Every single time I was in the shop they were running extremely late. My biggest complaint by far with Yvonne's is with their alterations: Alterations were overpriced and rushed which resulted in a complete botch job. I only wanted my dress hemmed, paid $500 in cash to do so, and the seamstress hemmed it so short you could see about 3-4 full inches between the end of the dress and floor. When the seamstress came in to look she immediately blamed me and accused me of changing shoes; I was in flats both days. Yvonne happened to be in the shop that night and was able to steam and stretch the dress enough to make it look ok. I had to sit in their shop for hours on end waiting for them to correct this unbelievable and major ... Read moreerror. Yvonne scheduled an appointment with me for a 2nd fitting so I could see the dress with fresh eyes when it was fully steamed to make sure I was happy with everything. I was told I’d be able to pick up my dress that day, but she never even bothered to show up! Her staff had no notes on the appointment and couldn’t get ahold of her. My dress was not ready at that appointment like she told me it would be (2 days before the wedding). I had to come back yet again to pick it up and the dress wasn’t even fully steamed even though I asked and confirmed multiple times at the 2nd appointment that it would be (less than 24 hours before the wedding). I had to buy a steamer and have someone else do it for me the morning of the wedding. Hands down the most stressful and worst part of our wedding week was trying to get Yvonne’s to get it together. I strongly discourage other brides from making the same mistake I did. At the very least, please just get your alterations done somewhere else.

Expensive dresses, not timely, hard to get a hold of, and they make you pay cash for fittings in order to leave the store. Wouldn’t recommend.

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

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

I was happy with my choice to get my dress from Yvonne's! They had a lot of beautiful dresses that were just my style, and I LOVED my bridal consultant. Her name was Darina and she was amazing at pulling dresses that fit the ideas I showed her while also introducing some new ones along those lines. I am a bride that wears leg braces and she was easily the most thoughtful and helpful attendant in all the shops I went to when it came to getting me in and out of my dresses. Only part of the experience that was a bit stressful was someone told me on the phone that my dress was coming in a month later than originally stated when I called to check in, which would have left me with only 4 weeks to do alterations. This didn't turn out to be the case and the dress came on time, but the miscommunication led to a bit of a panicked 24 hours. Overall, it was a good experience, prices seemed fair, and I would recommend anyone meet with Darina with no hesitation!!

This place was WONDERFUL! I highly recommend you go here to find the perfect dress!

I had an absolutely wonderful expirence shopping for my wedding dress at Yvonne’s. Eva was beyond amazing! After showing her just a few pictures of the styles I was interested in she knew exactly what to pull. And after trying only six dresses I found the one! I went with my mother, my mother in law and my maid of honor and she made sure she took everyone’s opinions and suggestions into consideration. I can’t say enough good things about my expirence and I’m so excited to return for my fitting! Thank you so much Eva for making what I thought would be the most stressful part of wedding planning easy and stress free!

I found the most beautiful dress at Yvonne’s, her team did an excellent job pulling dresses for me my first and last day of dress shopping! I cannot say enough wonderful things about their seamstress, having a mother who is also a seamstress, she was spot on with my alterations! For my final fitting she came in to help show my bridesmaids exactly how to lace up my back and position the dress. I highly recommend Bridal Gallery by Yvonne when you are searching for your perfect dress!

My experience at Yvonne’s was fantastic. They made the experience very personal and special. I didn’t have to do anything but try on the dresses that Eva brought out for me and it didn’t take her long to understand my style and find me the perfect dress!
