Gabrielle's Bridal Boutique

This is a beautiful boutique in Los Gatos. They carry high end brands such as Vera Wang, Ines De Santo, Bonaparte, Melissa Sweet and etc. I went there twice and almost bought my gown there (but ended up finding The One at Bridal Galleria in SF). I had a very good experience at Gabrielle's. Gabrielle herself helped me with my appointments. She was very patient and nice. I felt bad I ended up not purchasing the *almost-was* gown (Melissa Sweet Lia) because she was just quite a sweetheart. This was one of the VERY few salons out of the 10 I went to where I was actually given a hand held mirror so I could see the back of the dresses too. Unbelievable how few salons did that. Gabrielle started this business after being a bride herself not too long ago. So she really knows how to relate. I'd recommend this place for good service and beautiful gowns.

Gabrielle's is a small cute little bridal boutique. Though small, they carry an incredible line of bridal gowns from Melissa Sweet, Vera Wang, Kenneth Pool, and a few other high end designs.

I came in for an appointment during the summer time. When I arrived, there was only one other bride there for a fitting. The lady that assisted me (I forgot her name) was very cute and pleasant. It was fairly quiet in the salon, which I liked because I felt that I was given a lot of attention. The assistant had me try on serveral beautiful pieces. Some of them really captured my attention and some didn't. Still, she was very patient with me and never pressured me at all. Being that it was the first time I went shopping for a dress, I wanted to shop around more since it was the wisest thing to do (plus I honestly couldn't keep my mind off a Monique Lhuillier piece - even if I wasn't sure I could even get it). The only thing about the boutique is that I had wished they carried Monique Lhuillier so that I didn't have to drive to San Francisco or LA to try on a dress.

Even if I didn't end up getting a dress here, my experience was very pleasant. If I were to get married again, I would definitely come back to Gabrielle's. The service and attention they give you is impeccable and they have a great line of designers. If within your budget, I highly recommed Gabrielle's for that one of a kind dress of your dreams!

I didn't actually try on or buy any dresses here, but Gabrielle is the sweetest most helpful person around. A+ for personality! I noticed she has some gorgeous high end dresses as well at her shop. It is also one of the nicest bridal salons I have ever seen, with tea and other beverages. More pleasant than Saks!

Gabrielle was able to book a last minute appointment for me, which was very much appreciated. She took the time to get me whatever dress I wanted to try on, and was very patient in the times where I'd want to re-try the same dress just to make sure. The dress we ended up getting was a dream and cost a fraction of the amount it normally retails for. (I had just made the end of one of her sales!) The only hesitation I had was that the seamstress (who ended up moving to Texas after quoting me and taking my measurements) was extremely expensive. I haven't been back since she's hired her new one so I can't recommend them, but I would definitely recommend this cute bridal shop.

Gabrielle's is definitely a unique bridal store in Baton Rouge, La. She carries the most beautiful dresses in the whole state as far as I'm concerned. The staff is friendly and courteous, and to top it all off she gives a 15% discount on bridesmaids dresses if you have 5 or more bridesmaids buy from the store. I rated them a 4 out of 5 because we did have a few glitches in our overall experience. However, if a bride is persistant in following up to verify appointments, etc. then this store is totally worth that little bit of effort.

My experience at Gabrielle's was fabulous. The small, chic shop is located in oh so quaint Los Gatos. I now want to live in Los Gatos because it was just so darn cute but I digress.

Initially, my Mom and I missed the street after exiting the freeway. (Hey, that quaintness means small street signs.) I called one of my attendants (who was already at the salon) for directions and Gabrielle ended up on the phone helping me. Annoyed at my Mom (long drive + mishap = cranky Mom), nervous, embarrassed and twenty minutes late, Gabrielle was still warm and welcoming to me which was a huge relief cause I really needed the relaxation. She took the time to find out what style of dress I was going for, the time of my event and the location to get a better idea what styles would fit. Did I mention that this place wasn't a mad house on Saturday? Personal, one-on-one service. Hooray! Next, she along with my party helped me pick out dresses. Gabrielle doesn't have the largest collection of dresses but she has the best selection. I tried on 8 dresses in total all of which she helped me in and out of. Not only was she very responsive and personable but she also made suggestions on how to customize the dresses (by the way she can do that with all but 2 of designers so open your horizons) and also took notice of my body shape which widen my prospects for gowns. Gabrielle helped me the entire time. My attendants thought she was cool and friendly while my reserved Mom and very opinionated sister found her service to be fantastic all continued to rave about her even after visiting another salon later that day.

I loved my experience here and would HIGHLY suggest visiting this boutique. I didn't get a chance to check out her bridesmaids dresses but my attendants did and found some they liked. Sadly, I found my gown somewhere else.

Some general notes:

She carries designers that range in price. They are all listed on her site so if you do your research before going shopping the prices should not be a shock.

I'm not sure whether she provides strapless bras since I was smart enough to bring my own. I learned from my previous bridal shopping experience in Sacramento to bring one since the store's bra wasn't in the most pristine condition.

I felt that her salon was very private considering she only sees one person at a time. Sometimes less is more.

Enjoy shopping for your gown. For once, I did.

I love this boutique. Its a small chic place where you can go through the racks of gowns to pick the gowns you want to try. They have a great gown selection here. Gabrielle and her sales associates were very helpful and friendly. I almost ordered my gown here but changed my mind last minute as I fell in love with another gown that they didn't carry. I would have absolutely ordered from them if they did carry that brand.

Gabrielle's Bridal Boutique has a selection of breathtaking and original bridal gowns. If I could afford to by my gown there, I definitely would.

Gabrielle's Bridal is Great and worth the drive from San Francisco. I live and work in San Francisco and many people in the city are finding out about Gabrielle's Bridal. I was highly recommended by a co-worker of mine to visit Gabrielle's Bridal as her friend purchased her AWSOME Melissa Sweet Grown there. I went on a Saturday and found the experience to be fantastically great. My mother was extremely happy with the service and the great gown for once.....My mother is a tough cookie (-: Very good service and the time they took to explain my option in the different gowns was unexpected. Many of other establishment I went to visit said I had to purchase the gown "AS IS". I did not change anything about my gown but it was great to know that if there was something that I would have wanted changed they would have worked with me to do so. Gabrielle only has the latest gowns at her shop, so if you fall in love with a gown that is three to four season ago it is best to call to make sure they have it.

As a well known wedding consultant & designer, I send all of my Brides to Gabrielle's Bridal Boutique for great attentive service, and a beautiful selection of couture gowns! I think Gabi is such a doll! She's amazing to work with! If you want more than just a bridal gown shop, go to Gabi's and get the experience of a lifetime! Not only does Gabi help you find "the one" dress that makes you look and feel as beautiful as you deserve on your wedding day, she is also an all over wedding design consultant, and can help you with everything that goes under the dress, with the dress, such as spanx, jewelry, veils, and shoes. She's the best!
