While the young lady who unlocked the door after I rand the bell wasn't very warm or friendly, our stylist was great. We were taken in about 5 minutes late, but Mona was a pro! She did a great job qualifying my daughter with all of the rights questions, bringing her a couple gowns she had seen on Instagram and online, but also suggesting others. The salon is lovely with daylight streaming through the front windows of the second floor. Although we didn't get the front window area with the lovely faux cherry blossom tree (they book 2 appointments at a time) my daughter was able to walk up and down the walkway to get a feel for the flow of the dresses. Mona sis a great job of pacing our appointment with not too many dresses, but enough. She really romanced each dress, telling us about the design, the lace and trims, etc. Mona also knew exactly how to guide me in my role as mother-of-the-bride. She told me where the best photo opportunity location was and made sure that I filmed a video of my daughter walking and turning in THE ONE! Yes, we found the perfect dress for my perfect daughter. Thank you Monique Lhuillier for helping us have such an amazing day, despite the mask requirements with vaccination and no champagne served - we made up for it with 2 glasses of wine each at lunch right afterwards.

BRIDAL REVIEW: The team onsite is extremely helpful and…read morekind. We had someone come up and introduce themselves saying they were going to work with us (we had an appointment) but after waiting 10+ minutes for them to finish up with a client downstairs another person came up to us to show us dresses. While we were waiting, we were asked to wait downstairs (general shopping area) as to not disturb the vibe of upstairs (bridal only). Which is fine but it would have been nice to see the dresses while we were waiting. Also, since there were 2 more groups waiting at the time all the seats in the store were taken so we were awkwardly standing off to the side. Finally we were able to see the dresses and I am not sure if they just had like the newest collection available for try-on but I felt like their selection was limited. I scheduled an appointment because I kept getting ads on instagram for them with a ton of beautiful lace ballgowns with a ton of variety but in store there were like three. By the time we tried on the dresses we were just so over it I didn't really ask any follow ups as to why the selection was so small, so my recommendation would be to call ahead and check to see if the dresses you are interested in are in store. As bridal appointments go, I felt that it was missing the experience. Like it felt more like I was going shopping for everyday clothes if that makes sense. It was missing the atmosphere, lighting, seating, champagne, etc.

On top of the amazing customer service, the little shop is so cute and chock full of great finds. They have every kind of bra, lingerie, candles, stockings, even some clothes. Yes, it can be a bit more expensive than the more typical VS, but the quality is far better and the customer service is unmatched. You'll absolutely walk out with the best piece for you. I'll be going back soon for sure!

Thanks in part to the candles that are for sale. Honestly. My all time favorite candles are sold at this boutique. The array of lingerie is a dream. They also have beautiful clothing. One of my favorite, luxurious sweaters was purchased here. This is the most sexy, romantic store your guy could ever give you a gift from. Feel free to give yourself a lovely piece from the store. Honestly when I would receive gifts from Galatea the smell from the store would fill the air as I unwrapped my present. It has been some time since I have had a pleasure to visit. I am thinking of making a special trip to the area just for this reason. I am giving this place 5 stars only because 6 was not available. Galatea I adore you, your atmosphere, your aroma, your lovely sales people, the owner, your beautiful lingerie and clothing. Oh how I miss you. PROS: A beautiful selection of lingerie and clothing. Items are well made. The store is very inviting. The staff at Galatea are sweet, warm and genuine. They have the best candles ever. The price range is so that everyone can afford something. Anything that you purchase will be well worth it! The owner has a great eye for style, hence, the reason the selection is terrific. Some basic lines carried are Casabella, Only Hearts, Hanky Panky, 3Dots, Ling and sooo much more!!! When you walk into this you will appreciate how beautiful it is to be a woman! When you leave you will want to come back.
