Lynette's Bridal Studio

Find your perfect dress at The Gallery by Lynette

When wedding gown shopping you can find online literally hundreds of thousands of wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, veils, jewelry and whatever else you need for your special day.  Add to that nearly 37 bridal sources within a one hour drive from our store and someone unfamiliar with what we do might ask why we are so passionate about being here? 
We have departments and consultants dedicated to helping you find the perfect everything!

Personal one on one attention in our Salon is the rule not the exception.
I've always said "If I have to be like everybody else, please kill me now!"  My background is in bridal fashion and design.  We are honored to be involved in the joy experienced by a frustrated bride and mom when after shopping for literally months for the perfect dress, we are able to find exactly what she needs in a matter or minutes.  Chalk it up to experience, intuition or knowledge of the nature of the business but I like to think that along with the above we add one more thing.  We listen, we care and we take the time to put ourselves in your shoes.  Your wedding is really important, the most important day of your life and how you feel about what you wear will impact your memories more than any other aspect of your day.  I know that women carry that feeling with them forever as they reflect back on their wedding day.  It breaks my heart to hear and feel the heartfelt memories of  a bride of yesteryear who ended up with a less than hoped for gown experience.  The disappointment never goes away.  I take the responsibility for happy memories very seriously. 
Here is the original gown

I took the bodice off, added shoulders and moved the bodice ruffles..
We can make the strapless dress of your choice to look like it came directly from the factory that way.
Just yesterday I met a bride who wanted a specific look.  Her desires and her family's needs for her modesty sounded to be very different.  Her father held a position within their church that could be embarrassing to their family if her gown were to be too revealing.  I could feel that while she didn't want to be disrespectful she also had a need to find the gown that reflects herself.  Within about 30 minutes we had several gowns that she looked beautiful in and had it narrowed down to 2 dresses.  Because we have an in house designer, we were able to discuss options that we could do to her gown either in our store or through our factory to make her gown beautifully modest without losing her spirit.  She literally beamed as she realized that she could have the gown she had dreamed of, with the modesty that would be approved by her parents, within her budget.

We have two factories where you can have a gown made just for you at off the rack prices.  






This gown is around $799
Since we moved into our new salon we have occasionally heard the comment that people think our gowns would be more expensive.  That is absolutely not so!  Our overhead is actually lower and we can pass that on to our customer.  By asking you to make an appointment we reserve that time just for you. We aren't distracted by other shoppers.  We are there to help you find the perfect dress for you.Much like inviting you into my home.  I just have a huge closet full of dresses.

My bride yesterday had been shopping around and she showed me a picture of  her favorite gown from Davids Bridal.  It was priced at $1200 on sale for $1050.  I showed her at least 6 gowns that trumped the Davids Bridal gown that were all between $499 and $900.  Still think you get a better deal at Davids?  Depending on the alterations she needs she will have the perfect dress, alterations and all for less than the ticket cost of the other forgotten dress.

Vintage inspired style 7124 is priced at $799 strapless, $859 as shown and $999 modest.
Please don't be intimidated by our beautiful store or by making an appointment.  Your time with us is at no cost and it is our mission to help you define and find your perfect gown.  No matter your budget, time frame or situation, we have beautiful, high quality gowns priced from $500 to $2,000.  You will always get more for your money at The Gallery by Lynette.
