This store is an absolute gem! It’s well-organized, has gorgeous inventory, and the owner and her stylist team are wonderful. They give helpful details and advice while still being relaxed and kind. I went twice and was able to try on ~7 gowns per appointment (plus some veils!), which is a lot. I fell in love with several gowns both times because they have such beautiful pieces, and ultimately came away with my dream gown for a very reasonable price! As someone who only buys secondhand, this is a dream of a store. I highly recommend it to all brides.
I had such a great experience at emerald city gowns! I came here with my sister and mom to find a wedding dress in Oct, and I'm so happy we did. The bridal stylist (Victoria I believe) was so kind and helpful. I had barely any experience with trying on wedding dresses before arriving, and I was nervous that stylists would be super pushy (in general, not at emerald city specifically). Victoria was exactly the opposite, she was so patient with me, worked through the options I had available, and did not pressure me at all to make a decision that day. We ended up coming back a couple days later to re-try on a dress (that she picked!) that ended up being the one! In addition to the great personal experience, I'm so thankful that places like emerald city exist - second hand or sample gowns are both a budget and eco friendly option. My dress was significantly discounted from the original price, but looked absolutely impeccable. I highly recommend this shop!
Emerald city was the first bridal salon I went to and I had such a wonderful experience! Emilie, the owner, was the consultant for my appointment and she was such a pleasure to work with! She easily navigated/managed the opinions of my family while making sure I felt supported and listened to. Ultimately it was Emilie that ended up pulling the dress I fell in love with and wore to my wedding this past weekend! Thank you!!!
I found the perfect gown and veil for my beautiful summer wedding at Emerald City Gowns last January. They have a great selection of gowns in different sizes. The owner Emilie made the entire experience welcoming, efficient, and fun. She was attentive to our group and worked hard to find me dresses based on my preferences. Even though we only had an hour to shop, I still walked out with a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind designer sample that fit me perfectly. It was a dream come true! I got so many compliments on my dress on my wedding day. Thank you so much!
Absolutely lovely experience purchasing my wedding gown from Emerald City Gowns! I am getting remarried in the Church to my husband of 22 years after I’m getting baptized this Easter and I was looking for a modest gown with sleeves. Not an easy dress to find, with not much time to find one, however, I found Emerald’s Insta account and saw all the beautiful gowns they offered! I booked an appointment online, and had the pleasure of meeting the Owner, Emilie who helped me find THE one! First, the selection of gowns they had was astounding, even long sleeves, and in my size (12)! I was so eager to try them on. The store is so lovely decorated, beautiful ambiance, and you’ll get a nice spacious private room/area to try them on! This was important for me because I’m a shy introvert and I’m not a young spring chick anymore, (self conscious) so getting dressed in a spacious room with a private area to view the dress was special to me. Emilie is so lovely, very knowledgeable, authentic, honest and personable! It can be overwhelming trying on dresses and finding one you really like, but it was a breeze with Emilie at Emerald City Gowns! I can’t wait to share pictures of the gown and veil I purchased! Thank you Emilie and Emerald City gowns for a wonderful experience!
