The Story

The Story

There is something so special about an industry peer sending not only her brides but her own daughter to our shop - not once but twice! Let me tell you about Demi Kontomerkos Pack, the daughter of none other than the best in the business, Jennifer Kontomerkos of Finer Things Events.

Demi was married in 2022 in a minimony. With only a few days to go, Demi’s dress she got online no longer worked, so we worked fast to find her a fabulous replacement. I told Demi and Jennifer then, when the time came for her big wedding the following year, that I wanted her to come back because knew we would find the ONE at my shop.

Sure enough, when it was time to shop for her main event, Demi and I chatted about what she wanted and I worked behind the scenes to bring in exactly what I thought would be it. In fact, this dress was quite a bit different from what she thought she wanted, but I just had a hunch. And lo and behold, she was instantly hit with a little first dress magic. And look how gorgeous she is! Fun fact: I dressed Jennifer in that stunning black number, too. 

Demi and Jennifer thank you so much for trusting me to find absolutely the most perfect dress for the most perfect wedding Columbus has ever seen. It’s always an honor to dress a Finer Things bride, but it is the ultimate compliment to dress family. I couldn’t be more grateful for you both.

The Review

"Tanya and Gilded Social were everything and more than I could have wanted in finding my wedding dress. I am a very indecisive person and my wedding dress was the first one I tried on. Tanya not only helped me find the perfect dress but she customized it to make it the most beautiful and unique dress there ever was. I am forever grateful for her and this beautiful store and experience. I would choose Gilded Social again and again if I could and recommend anyone and everyone to come here not only for the most perfect dress, but for the most fun and best experience to find a dress. Thank you Tanya and Gilded Social, I will be forever grateful for you!!!"
