For questions about shopping with Marie Gabriel Social.
Your home for designer Mothers Gowns.

  • Glad you asked! We have over 250+ dresses in the showroom for you to shop! There are both off-the-rack options that can be taken home the same day as your appointment as well as gowns that can be customized and ordered.

    Sample sizes range from about 6 to 32 and prices for our selection of designer dresses start at $500 for Mothers gowns.

  • Yes, Marie Gabriel Social is by appointment only. We offer a unique personal shopping experience to give you the time and attention you deserve while trying on dresses and answering your questions. In order for us to give all of our guests a five-star experience, we aren’t able to accept walk ins at this time. A lot of our dresses can be customized and come in different fabrics, colors and price points so making an appointment guarantees one of our stylists will be available to help!

    We are now booking online! Click here to make your appointment.

  • If you are trying to match or complement a certain color, bringing a sample can be helpful. Otherwise, there isn’t anything else necessary. We do recommend wearing nude, seamless undergarments but it isn’t a requirement.

  • Typically a dress can take anywhere from 2 – 6 months depending on the designer. We usually recommend that your dresses arrive a month or so before your wedding so there is plenty of time for alterations. Please contact us with questions on your favorite designer’s lead time.

  • It is possible that we can still place an order for you, but most designers will charge rush fees to ensure that the dresses arrive in a faster time frame. Each designer accommodates rush orders differently, but most offer rush orders for a fee of 15 to 20% of the dress price.

  • Our showrooms are a fun and busy atmosphere and sometimes we are serving several wedding parties at once. So we ask that you do not bring food, beverage or small children as we like to keep the focus on selecting the perfect mothers gown for your wedding.

  • Yes, we have a large selection of wedding dresses - close to 1,000 - from more than 40 designers and ranging in price from $599 to $15,000+. Bonus, they are all housed in one convenient location!

    If you are still looking for your wedding dress, take a look at the Marie Gabriel family of boutiques: Boho, Couture, lux to go.

  • The cost of alterations are not included; however, we do have an in-house alterations department so everything can be done in the same location! We only offer alterations for dresses purchased within the Marie Gabriel Bridal family - Marie Gabriel Couture, Marie Gabriel Boho, Marie Gabriel Social, and MG lux to go. Be sure to ask about our alterations packages.

  • Most of our samples range in size from 6 to 12, but we do have smaller and larger sizes as well. NOTE: Dresses get tried on every day, at least 5 times a day. With that amount of use, the dresses stretch beyond their original size. We also occasionally dry clean the dresses. At this point, they are not a representation of any size.

  • All of our dresses are made to order. That means the designer dyes the fabric, cuts the pattern, and creates the dress after we place each order. Therefore all sales are final and there are no returns or exchanges.
