Melange Bridal

Thank you so much Mélange Bridal! Not only did you help me find my dream dress, but your staff is absolutely Wonderful!!! I said YES to the DRESS!!!

I had visited a couple of stores before I visited Mélange Bridal. I was set on a dress that I thought was the one at a previous store and almost cancelled my appointment at Mélange. Something in my gut told me to go… just in case. Thank goodness I followed my gut feeling because I found THE dress with the help of the amazing staff! Their selection of dresses had me and my mom gasping every time. I am so thankful my intuition led me here and I was able to find my beautiful dress. I’m so appreciative of the knowledgeable staff.

I bought my wedding dress from Mélange and am very happy with it. It was on sale since it was a sample so I got a great deal. The staff is very sweet and helped me pick the right one. I also decided to get the alterations done there. I found less expensive places to go for alterations– but since I had a a complicated skirt– ended up with 10 bustles– I wanted to go with Mélange’s in-​house staff who were already familiar with this same dress. They were very professional and it looked great. I like their new location on Steck.

I had such an amazing experience at Mélange Bridal. The process went from Feb. 2015 when I found and ordered my dream dress, to June 2015 when the alterations/​fittings began, to October 2015 when I picked up my dress the weekend of my wedding. Ivana and all of her associates are so sweet and helpful. They kept me updated throughout the whole process and always answered my emails promptly. I love Sonjia and her alterations team! They created a sweetheart neckline for my dress and made a custom veil for me. If you have a vision and need to alter your dress, they can make it happen! Everyone at Mélange is helpful, patient, and they don’t mind playing photographer for you with your camera or phone if you didn’t happen to bring a friend to all of your alterations appointments. Their new store space is absolutely gorgeous.

Honestly I wish this place was my 1^st stop. Then again if it had been my first stop maybe I wouldn’t appreciate it as much as I do. I found the location of the bridal shop a little odd. It’s in the strip mall right next to a mayor hardware store.
The parking is ample and when I stepped into the showroom I was impressed. I found the dress shop to be well organized, attractive; and well lit. I was warmly greeted when I walked thru the door. Taylor seemed to know that I was her 2 pm appointment and was well versed in my wish list for my dress.
I had set up my appointment a week prior and had described everything that I had wanted in my wedding dress. I had explained which designers I had a large interest in. Taylor asked that I emailed in a few photos of my favorite gowns. Which seemed to help her pick out many options for my to try.
I’ll be honest she hit it out of the park with the very 1^st dress. I was and still am impressed with it. I would say we tried about 8 dresses and at the end of the appointment I was torn. I went back and tried on my top two favorites again and looked at a few accessories. The staff was helpful and really allowed me to the time to make a decision that was right for me. I decided to take a step back and sleep on it before making a final decision.
I will say my experience with this shop was more then I expected. I was shocked by the amount of inventory they had in my size.
Let me say that one more time…,
Yes ladies they have your size in stock for you to try on.
No more of this trying to squeeze in to a dress 4 sizes to small and being clipped in to it. You will see many dress options no matter your size.

We were in from out of town and decided to take a chance and see if they had any availability. They were able to get us an appointment that afternoon. Taylor was our consultant and she was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about how professional, knowledgeable and helpful she was. She took us through all of the different types of dresses they carry and let us pick some out on our own. In all honesty, they were all beautiful and we had trouble finding styles we didn’t love. Taylor was also able to speak to every part of the ordering and alterations process and assured us of the store’s pride in their service. She managed to help us find 2 dresses that we loved so much that we couldn’t decide between them right then. We didn’t feel pressured or brushed off for not making a purchase right then. In fact, she told us that it was normal not to purchase the first time in and even sent us off with look books with our favorite dresses starred. We would definitely make the trip from out of town again just to come here again. Better than we could have ever expected.

I went to Mélange after going to just about every other shop in Austin and had a wonderful experience! I ended up getting my dress here after trying on about 100 different styles and the Taylor is absolutely no pressure when you work with her. I came back 3 different times to show friends the dress before pulling the trigger and she never made me feel guilty for wasting her time or anything. They also have a great selection of dresses and really good lighting and ambiance. I would highly recommend checking out their store and selection or, even better, ordering your dress from them!

I visited Mélange as my second appointment for bridal gown shopping, so I already had a general idea of what I liked and didn’t like. I was greeted with a smiling face, by Ivana, who I would learn, would be one of the best bridal consultants I’ve seen. Walking around Mélange, they have some of the most beautiful dresses, I picked out 5 right away I was dying to try on, although Ivana told me to pick out 3! During the whole process, Ivana was so patient and sweet, she provided so much informative information I never knew about bridal gowns. There were two dresses I was contemplating on, and she was so patient as I wanted to try them both on again, and then when I wanted to try on a few more dresses that were completely different. After all of that, I ended up not buying a dress at Mélange, not because they weren’t beautiful and amazing quality, I just couldn’t find THE one. I wanted to thank Ivana though, for being absolutely wonderful! Any other bride would be so lucky to have her as your consultant. Thank you, Ivana, for providing me with a once in a lifetime experience and thank you, Mélange, for helping me along in my bridal gown journey.

I came to Mélange after searching for dresses at two other bridal stores prior that day. Taylor was my consultant, and was so wonderful; knowing the store’s inventory and was able to pick out dresses that fit the style and silhouette I was looking for. She was incredibly patient and really listened to what I was looking for. I had it down to two dresses, and she let me try on each with accessories, veils, etc. There were aspects of each that I liked, and she thoroughly explained all alterations could do to make my dress perfect for me, and exactly what I was looking for. I can not say enough great things about Mélange and my experience overall!

This is an amazing store! Bought my dream dress and will be getting my bridesmaids and flower girl dresses here too! Amazing customer service!!!

Mélange Bridal was sensational. Taylor, our consultant, was beyond helpful. I walked in to the store thinking I wanted a fitted lace dress and walked out with a drop waist ball gown that I could not love anymore than I already do. Taylor has excellent taste, was attentive to my needs, very kind, and an all around joy to work with. Their in-​house seamstress was also phenomenal. Just a tidbit of information for those that don’t know, their seamstress use to work for Vera Wang and only tailor’s their dresses. You don’t want to miss out on how wonderful she is, how great Taylor is and finding your dream wedding dress with THE dream team. Thank you Mélange Bridal for helping me find THE dress! I am forever grateful and will remember this day and my great experience for a lifetime.

I can’t say enough good things about Mélange Bridal, and all the women that work there! The first time I went to Mélange was with my sister for her wedding last year. I went to all the dress fittings and watched Sonja, their seamstress, transform my sister’s little dress into a full-​on GOWN, and it was unbelievably gorgeous!!!
Then, this year, my now husband proposed, and I went straight to Mélange Bridal… and found The Dress on the first day! It was on sale, and even after all the many alterations, it was still within my price range.
Every visit for all the fittings, for both my sister’s dress and my own, were always so fun. Everyone who works there is so sweet and helpful. Their new location on Steck is fabulous. I really felt like a princess in there.
Sonja is a magician, seriously. You won’t believe what she can do! If I had to get a dress again, I would come straight here. I could go on and on! GO TO MELANGE and find your dress!!! I felt like they were all my friends by the end.
THANK YOU, Mélange, for the PERFECT dress and the wonderful experience!!!

I actually went to their old location which was quite small, but looks like they’ve upgraded. Good for them. I didn’t end up finding my dress at Mélange, but I wanted to leave them a review because they gave me the tough love I really needed.
Mélange was the 7^th store I visited. Let me repeat that: SEVENTHHHH! I feel like I’m in the minority of brides who have visited that many stores. A lot of friends I’ve talked to found their dress at the 1^st or 2^nd store they went to so I was concerned that I would never find a dress that I loved and had no idea how I’d even know if I’d already found it because I’m not an emotional person when it comes to these things.
Mélange helped me out in a way that I did not expect. The employee who helped me at Mélange actually noticed that I kept talking about another dress that I tried on at another bridal boutique. I loved the back and shape of said dress but wasn’t 100% sure about the front, which is why I didn’t buy it. However, the employee noticed I kept talking about the dress, comparing other dresses to it, asking to try on dresses with specific aspects of the original dress and she finally told me she thinks I should go back and buy it. She told me that I’d found my dress and that I was just going to stress myself out if I kept looking. With that, I left the store, cancelled my next bridal appointment and went back to the other store to buy my dress. I’m really glad I did. I appreciate Mélange for not trying to sell me on one of their dresses, but instead helping me to realize when I’ve already found the right one. ⁴⁄₅ stars because the employee did come off a little rude and pretentious at times, but she got the job done. :)

Great costumer service!!! The consultants were very helpful in finding me the PERFECT dress.
