Marry go Round

Super cute shop! I made an appointment the day before to go on Thursday at 2:00 (all of the Saturday appointments were booked 2 months out). My mom & I were warmly greeted with a smiling face & a «come on in!» by Madeline. She asked if I had been looking at dresses yet, what I was looking for, then she explained how the shop was organized, how to tag the dresses I wanted try on. The dressing room was HUGE, great mirror, natural lighting, etc. Madeline offered her assistance as needed. She laced & tied up dresses, pulled dresses, took dresses out if I didn’t want them, offered suggestions — she ended up bringing a dress to me that I never would’ve chosen. When I tried it on, I nearly cried — I knew it was the one. She gave me a business card for alterations (Laura’s Couture & Alterations) — they specialize in wedding dresses. Wow! I will definitely recommend Marry Go Round to everyone. Excellent service, cutest little shop, sweetest employees. Thank you so much, Madeline & Marry Go Round, for making this a fun & effortless shopping experience!

A friend of mine told me about this shop. I did not want to spend a lot of money on a dress. I found the most perfect dress for my destination beach wedding. The dress was plan and I decided to bling it out. I just want to say that everyone loved the dress. If you are looking for a wedding dress please go to Marry Go Round first.

I had a wonderful experience here. I came in a not having an expectation that I would find my dress here. Madeline was wonderful and very patient. I didn’t feel the pressure to buy right then and there. Of course I knew that if I didn’t get it there’s a chance that it may be gone later. The price was lower than other bridal shops. I would recommend going here to find a dress to any of my friends who are engaged. The parking lot has limited space so I would recommend carpooling.

If you can’t fathom the idea of spending thousands on a dress that you will wear for a few hours and then let it sit in your closet, then you have found your match.
I came here thinking I wouldn’t find anything but I thought, «what the heck!» I had an appointment and in I went one Saturday morning.
Little did I know that I would find a beautiful Romona Keveza wedding dress. Of course, I said, «yes.»
They have barely worn and brand-​new dresses — so don’t think this is only used!
I was unimpressed with the bridal salons I had previously gone to but MGR made buying a wedding dress less of a daunting experience.
The boutique is housed in a little gray cottage off of W. Gray but is expansive and holds so much inventory. It changes daily and you have to buy your dress right then and there — they don’t do any holds. I found my dress and ended up coming by the next morning to show my mother and sister (I didn’t bring them along originally because I didn’t think I would find anything!). Thank goodness it was still there.
Dress and veil were purchased there. I sometimes find myself visiting their Facebook page to see new inventory… I really was not excited about wedding dresses until going here.
I’m sure there are some pros of purchasing from a bridal salon but if there is anywhere to save on a wedding, this is pretty much it!
Good luck!

The items in this resale shop are outstanding. I found a beautiful rhinestone sash and a really unique veil for a fraction of the cost I was finding items of this quality in other stores. The sales woman was also very nice and welcoming. I brought a picture of my dress, and she helped me put together accessories to complete my look. Very positive experience with no sales pressure, only helpful advice. So happy with my purchase. Added the perfect complements that I was looking for to go with me dress.

I didn’t end up buying my dress here, but the service is fantastic! A bit hard to find, but if you give them a call they will direct you right to their charming front door. As a consignment wedding dress store, I didn’t know how much stock they would have. Boy was I surprised! When I visited, they had rooms and rooms of dresses (including couture dresses) of all sizes. They have another large room for veils and other fun accessories at amazing price (in my opinion). Fantastic place for brides on a budget in my humble opinion.

Bought my beautiful gown, veil, and belt here. Wish I could have worn it more than once. I also went back to buy my jewelry. Affordable gown, wonderful service, can’t ask for much more!

I initially came here with my best friends in 2013 and 2014. They both were really lucky and found their gorgeous gowns here! The best part is that the dresses are sold «off the rack» which means, you don’t have to worry about waiting for your dress to come in 6 months after ordering it! I decided to give this place a try as soon as I got engaged (about three months ago) and had no luck. I didn’t make an appointment and I also didn’t see anything in my size that I liked. After having no luck at other «big name bridal boutiques,» per the staff’s advice at MGR about an ever-​changing inventory, I decided to make an appointment at MGR to come back and see if anything new had come in. Note: Be sure to make an appointment if you want to try anything on. If you’re just looking around, then you won’t need an appointment.
I really had no intention of finding «The Dress» here during this appointment. I sincerely thought I would just be «browsing» around again just like I had done at several other wedding shops, including my initial visit to MGR. I was pleasantly surprised at the inventory that had been brought in within the three month time-​span that I had been searching elsewhere!
The process at MGR is super simple. You’re given a hanger with about 5 – 6 colored clips and you just clip the dress that you want to try on and the staff will assist you. Easy peasy. You don’t have to deal with «wedding stylists» putting you in dresses that you’re uncomfortable in, or that are way over your budget. I found about 5 dresses to try on, and since I came by myself to this appointment, Madeleine was the staff member who helped me get in and out of my dresses. She even helped take photos of me in the dresses to text my mom since my mom couldn’t make it to my appointment. Lucky for me, I found the dress of my dreams at MGR way below my budget, and I couldn’t be happier!
The best part is that even though MGR is a consignment bridal boutique, you can easily find couture or regular wedding dresses with the original tags still attached. For example, my dress was BRAND NEW, and never worn. Madeleine explained that even though they are a bridal consignment boutique, they take dresses from brides and also have several partnerships with bridal designers or other bridal stores that will send their new/​never worn, overstocked, or discontinued gowns to MGR. Dresses are never more than three years old and they must be in pristine condition in order to make it onto the sales floor at MGR. Thus, as a consumer, we get these brand name, brand new dresses for at least half the cost! It’s a win win! I couldn’t believe the cost of my dress and I am SO THRILLED to have found the dress of my dreams. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend checking back in with MGR often as their inventory truly does change everyday. Stay up to date on their Facebook page or even on Instagram.
One little tip, MGR is located in a cute little «house» on West Gray and you can easily miss it. It’s just a little bit past the «neon nails» salon and you can park on the street or behind the house.
Happy dress shopping!

Absolutely THE BEST place in town to get veils! Bridal boutiques sell them for hundreds; the boutique I bought my dress from was actually trying to sell me one for $ 700. As a contemporary bride-​to-​be who believes the veil is just a dusty, old, timeworn tradition at best, my thoughts were exactly this: «F*ck that!» However, my traditional parents implored me to reconsider. M.G.R. carries a ton of clean, gently-​used veils: most were fingertip length and there were some cathedral length, but only a handful of blushers or shoulder lengths. From what I saw, prices ranged from as low as $ 60 to $ 180. I ended up settling for a relatively simple fingertip-​length veil with crystal rhinestones on the edging for $ 126 — the same exact design that went for $ 700 at the other boutique. You don’t need to make an appointment to peruse the veils, and the sales associate was more than happy to help me try them on. Remember, since this is a consignment store, sales are final.
DEFINITELY make sure to check out M.G.R. first before spending hundreds on veils elsewhere! In my humble opinion, they’re just not worth buying new. And really, who’s gonna pay enough attention to know the difference anyway?

Being newly engaged and never trying on a dress, I knew I was most comfortable starting here because of the variety. I made Amy aware that I was a first timer and I was wanting to try on a variety of dresses to learn materials, fit, and designers. She was totally cool with this and I tried on about 15 dresses within an hour. Amy also gladly took about 3 pictures of each dress that I liked (which was about 4 – 5 different dresses). They are sectioned off by price point and all of the dresses under $ 1000 were gorgeous!!! I was showing my family the pictures of the dresses I liked and they couldn’t believe it was a consignment store! It’s a beautiful boutique style and you would never guess that these dresses had a previous owner. I’m hoping that after I try on a few more dresses at other stores, that Marry Go Round will be my final stop!

I have taken my friends here and while we haven’t found gowns for them, there are a nice assortment, it’s just about finding the right dress at the right time.

Marry Go Round was a great experience! I came here because I knew it was a consignment store and I wanted to stick to a budget. I am a size 12 – 16 (depending on the designer) and I had plenty of choices. The gown I fell in love with was unfortunately a size 12, but with that specific dress I needed a 14, so I had to leave without it.
But I can’t say enough great things about this place! It was very cozy inside and definitely looked like a bridal store in the inside. My consultant was so nice and really listened to what I liked and didn’t like to help me pick out the one I loved.
Definitely go there if you are a budget bride and want to look at designer gowns!

Before I started wedding dress shopping, I already knew I wasn’t interested in spending a lot of money on something I’d only wear once (and for what? 6 hours at the most?). I had heard of a few brides getting their dresses from MGR and loved the idea. Lots of their dresses were samples, while others have been worn before. I actually saw one I liked on their Facebook page so I made an appointment for that weekend.
I went in and they had already pulled the one I requested. They let me go ahead and look through all the gowns and pick a few others to try on. I was pleasantly surprised by their selection! They had lots of gowns I really liked besides the one I had requested, and ended up trying on about 6– all under $ 1000!
The sales consultant was helpful and very knowledgeable. After I said yes to my dress, she gave 2 recommendations for places for alterations, and they even snapped my pic to put on their Instagram!
MGR is perfect for the decisive bride who knows what she wants. They can’t hold gowns so the down side is that you have to make a decision right away, because it might not be there tomorrow. However, it’s a great feeling to walk away with a dress in your hand and even better knowing you got it for a steal! I’d highly recommend MGR to all Houston brides!

This is a really awesome store. Love the concept.
I stalked their Facebook page before coming to try on a dress (made an appointment). They post the new dresses they receive on there! I saw one I liked and decided to go try it on. I didn’t waste time because I know the dresses can come in one day and be sold the same day. The store is quite small and there are only two fitting areas.
If you are lucky, you can find THE dress. Unfortunately, I wanted something very specific and I didn’t find what I was looking for here. In addition to consignments, they also buy new dresses from the designer (I am not sure if they are extras, old models, samples, or what). Sarah was very helpful getting me dressed and since I came by myself she also took photos for me.
I am going to come back again to look for accessories. They have some nice sashes here and I really don’t want to pay full price for one at a bridal salon!
This place is worth checking out!
I am thinking about bringing my dress here to consign when I am done with it. You receive only 50% of the sale price though.

The service at Marry Go Round is excellent. My consultant was Martha and she was incredibly sweet and helpful. I was greeted immediately and then given a tour of the store. She let me pick through the dresses and also suggested some she thought I might like. She was great at helping me into the dresses and clipping me in tight.
The selection was larger than I thought it would be for a consignment shop. I found some nice dresses but nothing I loved fit right and due to the nature of consignment there is no ordering and all off the rack. The prices are also wondeful. Everything is mostly half of the retail price if not more.
My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the quality of the dresses. The website states that the acceptance level of the dresses is very strict and the dresses must be in near mint condition. That wasn’t the case for most of the dresses I tried on. I saw many frayed ribbons, torn lace and split seams. I wouldn’t have minded wearing a second hand dress but it certainly can’t look used when walking down the aisle!

I was intrigued by MGR’s concept (after all, most gowns only get worn once or twice), so I scheduled an appointment right after our engagement. By the way– Saturday appointments are hard to come by (only 2 fitting rooms and each appt is about 1.5 hours), so plan for that.
Our consultant, Amy, was a dear. She explained the store (split into over and under $ 1000, sorted by size), then set us browsing, and we marked the ones we were interested in. She pulled the 8 dresses for us, including Maggie Sottero, Winnie Couture, and more. Of those, I was down to 2 great possibilities, and a third that resembled the Maggie Sottero Alana. In the end, I got a designer gown at almost 80% off retail (INSANE!!). The dress is in great condition even though it has been altered. They don’t do in house alterations, but they gave me a recommendation.
I would note the store is small as it is in an old house. Keep it to 2 guests. Between you and your consultant, there are really only 2 open benches in your dressing room.
They do have accessories too. Nothing was «upsold» to me, just offered to give me an idea of a complete look. They’re very respectful of your budget, which was important to me.
This is a consignment shop, so it’s just luck of the draw. Definitely try on a variety of dresses while you’re at it. Also, the dresses are sold as-​is, which is part of the appeal (immediate gratification! Woo!), and that can actually be a pro. I chose a few dresses that already had sleeves added during alterations.
Great consultants, amazing prices, reasonable stock of gowns!

I love this place!!! I got my bridal gown here for $ 438! Every girl should check it out. They have fantastic costumer service, and book up for weeks in advance. I happen to call the day they had a cancellation, and I got in the day of. The first dress I spotted and tried on I got from here and I was very happy with the results! I will post a picture of the dress. It fit perfect and needed no alterations at all. They sales person said that it had only been in the store for a few days. I have told many friends to look here, and I have told friends to take their old dresses here!

I am from Austin, but my family is from Houston. To help things along, I went ahead and booked appointments in with bridal stores in Houston. I did three stores and this was the first stop. This was also my first store ever to try on bridal. The girls were so courteous and help me with any questions I had. Every dress I tried fit amazing and I liked them all, but the last one was the one for me. They even had a veil that matched the lace of the dress.
I went to a couple other stores, but I went back the same day and bought the dress that I love. Now, it’ll sit in my parents house until the wedding.
Definitely make an appointment here!

Dress shopping can be one of the most overwhelming experiences a bride can undertake in planning the perfect day. Marry Go Round takes that and turns it into a fun easy experience.
When I started my dress quest I was posed with questions… a-​line, trumpet, fit and flare, lace, silk, organza, oh my!!! My head was spinning. What should I do? What if no one likes what I choose? The girls at Marry Go Round took all of these questions and turned them into answers. They explained the different shapes, styles and materials. They talked to me about what would look best on my body shape.
Once that was all settled I went to browsing. I was given these cute clippy things with bows on them and then taken into the different rooms. The rooms are broken down by price point. $ 1000 under or over and then the dresses were arranged by size. I pulled 8 – 10 dresses with my consultant giving feedback about the different gowns that made the selection process much easier. I was then taken to a private fitting room (they have 2) and my consultant helped me try in my dresses. She listened closely as I tried on each dress to get a feel of what I was liking and what I wasn’t. About the 4^th or 5^th dress I tried on I knew I had found my dress!
As this is a resale shop I was able to leave with my dress that day. It is now safely hanging in my closet and I have to try everyday not to go down there and try it on!
Customers are seen by appointment only so be sure to call in advance as they do book up.

Marry Go Around is a cozy place stuffed to the gills with a variety of delicately used bridal and flower girl dresses. It is an unpretentious place with a helpful mother and daughter team that is readily available to assist. As others have stated it helps to make an appointment because on the hours of operation are limited and the weekends it is rather busy and very congested in the little boutique.
I chose my dress on the simple fact that it was perhaps one of the more simplest of choices there (mermaid style) and it was the PERFECT price at $ 150. In addition to my dress I purchased a chapel veil and a feather hair accessory to complement my dress. All together walking out at right under $ 200. After finally have a wedding after two long years, I am still very pleased with my dress and the value I received. I would definitely recommend Marry Go Around to anyone who seeking a good deal on a wedding dress.
