I bought my wedding dress here, after trying several other, larger bridal stores. The team here is amazing. They listened to me and what I wanted, found great options for me — and created a really comfortable environment for my mom and me to explore those options in. The team was super attentive and friendly and helpful. The pricing was very reasonable and the tailoring was top notch. And then I loved how I looked on my wedding day, and got all the compliments about the dress. I would highly recommend Alexia Gavela Bridal!

Glorious Austin high end bridal and formal gown boutique. Voted one of the best locations to have a custom design created. Ask for Geri!

Choosing a bridal salon is one of the most significant decisions for a bride-to-be, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Alexia Gavela Bridal. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an array of stunning dresses catering to every style and preference. Geri's expertise and confidnece made the selection process a breeze.
Opting for a custom dress with a unique LED fabric was a dream of mine, and Geri and his team went above and beyond to bring it to life flawlessly. Their attention to detail and dedication to making my vision a reality truly made my special day even more magical.
I cannot recommend Alexia Gavela Bridal enough for any brides-to-be looking for unparalleled service, exquisite gowns, and a team who genuinely cares about making your wedding dreams come true. Thank you, Geri, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my big day!

Although I ultimately moved forward with a different dress, Alexia Gavela was the first shop that truly made me feel confident in how I looked and found me dresses that I actually liked. Geri instantly understood my style preferences and unlike other bridal shops, gave me honest feedback on what was most flattering on my body. By far the most efficient appointment I’ve ever had at a very reasonable price point

Geri was extremely helpful & nice throughout all the sessions. Very accommodating with time! The only reason I’m leaving 3 stars is because pins were left in the dress & I stepped on one upon putting on the dress on wedding day. Then? later on during the wedding day, I stabbed my left hand on the dress & two friends have to go through the layers to try to find the pin along my hip while I had the dress on. My palm was actually bleeding since the pin went pretty deep into my palm & since I reacted to it, I actually tucked the pin while it was in my palm :(

I actually bought my dress from Geri back in 2007. i never forgor my wonderful experience with him I took my niece since shes getting married. Im so thankful for Geri. Running late to our first appointment. We were the last appointment of the day. Coming down from San Antonio traffic was bad due to a car accident. Geri waited for us. When we arrived he had most amazing experience, he was very knowledgeable very attentive to the brides likes and wants. Bride fell in love with dress that Geri brought knowing the style the bride was going for. Thank you Geri

Geri and Alexia are the best in the Austin bridal business. It is rare and lucky that I came across them in my search for both bridal dress selection and in-house tailoring. It saves so much time and energy to select your dress and to get your tailoring done in one place! I could tell from my first phone call with Geri that I was in the best of hands. Geri & Alexa's passion for what they do is so palpable and their professionalism is unparalleled. I had to get my dress tailored on short notice and they made it easy and stress free. I will recommend them moving forward to every bride I meet. It is tough to find people who have your best interest at heart in the saturated wedding industry...but trust me, look no further than Alexia Gavela Bridal for your bridal dress needs!

Alex was super sweet and kind! She was very helpful when I came in and helped me with a veil I had to brought to her from another boutique.

Geri was phenomenal! From the moment I walked in the store, Geri was customizing every dress for me. He truly cares about his clients and you can see his passion! I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted when I went in but Geri did an excellent job of reading my personality to find me the perfect dress. Thank you so much Geri and Alex. You both are wonderful people! Hands down would recommend every bride to Alexia Gavela! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience, not to mention my dress was INCREDIBLE.

I’ve had both family members and friends go to Geri and his staff at Alexia Gavela for their wedding dress needs. He was the first person I thought of when my daughter needed a dress for her quinceañera. I called Geri and asked about quinceañera dresses. He told me that although he doesn’t usually keep those dresses in stock, he had several vendors that he could order from. We picked a dress and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was he able to get it in time with our short timeline, she was still able to get the “royal treatment” with trying the dress on in the store and making sure it was a perfect fit. The alterations made sure the dress fit her exactly as we wanted it. Anytime anyone asks, I immediately refer them to Geri and his staff at Alexia Gavela. They will make sure you are well taken care of.

Communication: Geri was my bridal consultant and wonderful to work with. The initial interaction was my email inquiring on two specific dresses listed on their website and a follow up call to confirm the appointment. (I was too late for the Mori Lee Trunk Show and confirmation for appointment was within a week's timeframe). One of my qualms was that the website didn't seem updated with the inventory (brands, styles, accessories etc.) and difficult to navigate from my perspective as a bride. However, the emails are lightning fast and I appreciated that.Appointment: I would say that the appointment was efficient than other bridal appointments that I have experienced. An initial consultation on a short form (personal info, budget, styles) was required before stepping into the dressing room. I had many asks and Geri was thoughtful and accommodating throughout. Geri had a great sense of humor and I felt a good amount of personal attention to my needs. I would say that I wished the lighting was a bit brighter (even a ring light would be sufficient) as I am reviewing photos of my tried on dresses.Other: There is a selection of bridesmaids dresses if one needed to combine services. The alterations are additional and seem relatively fast. Alexia Gavela Bridal is a small business so if one were to factor this as a preference, this is also something to consider. In conclusion, I came out of the appointment with two dresses that were great candidates.
