Congratulations Elizabeth Smart Gilmore

We are so excited for Elizabeth Smart and wish her the very best in her new married life. She and her new husband  Matthew, make such a cute couple.  Even though the wedding was only a month after the engagement announcement, I would tend to think that much more planning and time went into the event than was let out to the media.   Read More Here.  When planning your wedding it is important to jump on those dresses asap.  At The Gallery by Lynette we have literally thousands of gowns in stock but about 50% of the gowns we sell are special ordered in a different size, color or with design changes which necessitates an order.  Our Crystal Collection takes from 8 to 10 weeks to arrive and some Maggie Sottero gowns take 4-5 months so if you want as many choices as possible it is important to call as soon as you know you are getting married.  More info at Lynettes.com

Gown Shopping a Little Overwhelming?

Bridal shoppers say "I am so overwhelmed by all of this."
Wedding Gown Confusion: As I have chatted with prospective brides this season at wedding shows and as they schedule an appointment at The Gallery by Lynette we have heard one resounding statement again and again.  "I am so overwhelmed by all of this!"  Planning a wedding used to be a wonderful adventure with plenty of help along the way but has transitioned into too much information, too many choices thrown at you, racks and racks of dresses in every store and very little real little help to sort through it all. Much like a safari to a foreign country.  Bridal stores have literally turned into "retailers" selling "widgets" and it seems that their only goal is to get you to commit to any dress as quickly as possible and get you out the door to never see you again.  I bet this sounds familiar.

If you like the TLC show Say Yes to the Dress you will love shopping at The Gallery by Lynette
Say Yes to the Dress Style: We at The Gallery by Lynette have watched this transition with interest and recently made a bold move to change the way Utah shops for wedding gowns and attire.  If you love Say Yes to the Dress, the TLC show about the famous Kleinfeld bridal salon in Manhattan you will love our new store.  When you arrive you will be greeted by a friendly consultant who will put you at ease and assure you that our ultimate purpose is to help you navigate the literal sea of wedding gowns.  Instead of being bombarded by racks upon racks of white and ivory she will escort you to a private area where she will learn a little bit about you and your story.  Who you are and what excites you.  What feeling you want to create.  Level of modesty and budget concerns.  You can feel free to tell her anything because from that point on your consultant at The Gallery by Lynette will have no other purpose than to help you find the gown that will make you feel most beautiful and create a sweet memory for the rest of your life.

It only takes a moment to call to schedule your visit.  801-773-7435 which will save you time in the long run.
Scheduling your Visit: Because we sometimes fill up we recommend that you call ahead for an appointment so we can be ready for you when you arrive.  Click here for info on getting the most from your visit.  Please don't hesitate to walk in if you are in the area.  We welcome walk ins and will accommodate you if we can.

Affordability: I know what you are thinking.  "I can't afford to buy my wedding dress there."  That is absolutely not true.  Our new store is actually less expensive to operate than most of the local bridal shops.  As the cost in most stores has increased we have actually kept our prices the same or lower.  By having consultants who specialize in gowns, or accessories, or tuxedos you will receive exceptional service and attention at a surprisingly reasonable price.
