My experience at Lana Addison from the start was amazing! The appointment booking process was seamless. The lead stylist, Claire, called me a few days before my appointment to touch base and make sure all of my questions prior to the appointment were answered. Every dress that Claire pulled for me to try on was stunning, but she nailed what I was looking for in the first dress she pulled for me to try on. Claire made me feel comfortable the entire time, answered all my questions, and was very knowledgeable about alterations that could be made to the gowns. I am so grateful to have found my dress at Lana Addison!

Lana Addison is the best! The ladies here have amazing taste when it comes to finding a dress that’s just right for you, your venue, your theme, etc. Willow and Catherine were so helpful and laid-back, which made the decision-making process exciting and enjoyable. If you're looking for a bridal salon that not only prioritizes individualized attention, excellent communication, and exceptional attention to detail but also has an outstanding selection of designers and dresses, look no further!

Can't say enough wonderful things about Lana Addison. Claire at Lana Addison was SO incredibly patient with us. I was flying in from New York City that morning and she actually opened up the shop earlier than their business hours to meet us after arriving at the airport. She listened so clearly to what I wanted and was not phased when I tried on 9 dresses and didn't find the perfect one. She pulled one out at the end that really encompassed all the things I loved about the previous ones, and it was my PERFECT dress. They were patient about letting me FaceTime my sister in DC at work and my best friend in Europe to allow my favorite people to be there and share the experience. I didn't expect to find my dress at the first appointment, but I was SO pleased and really feel in love with the dress, shop and stylist that helped me! Thank you, Claire!

I went to Lana Addison today not thinking I’d find my dress as I’m not getting married till 2025. The stylists were so kind and attentive. They took so many notes about what I was looking for and listened to my vision! They curated multiple dresses for me to try and they were all aligned to my vision. I ended up finding my perfect dress and they celebrated with me and allowed me as much time as I needed to FaceTime family and friends, take pictures in my gown, and celebrate with champagne. They made the day feel so special and I truly felt like a bride!!

Haven't even stepped foot in this place and thankful for it after reading the owner's responses to her poor reviews! I am the MOH in my best friend's wedding and we had a visit scheduled with Lana Addison to find her dress. Before the visit an employee called to remind my friend of their no-photo policy stating you cannot take a SINGLE photo of yourself in a dress unless you purchase it. This is an unreal expectation— dresses are a massive expense and some people need time to analyze how they look and feel in a dress before making a decision. Not to mention Raleigh is a large area with tons of other options to purchase a dress. We decided to cancel the appointment and after looking through reviews we're happy with that choice. The owner is rude to anyone who doesn't give them a glowing review (even if they have spent money in her store).

I had my first bridal appointment at Lana Addison and it was the best experience I could have asked for for my first ever wedding dress shopping! My consultant Shannon was fabulous and listened to exactly what I was looking for, plus some! She put me in some dresses I never would have thought of and I really did love them! I would highly recommend this bridal salon for anyone in the area looking for their bridal gown!!

I worked with Lana Addison on my bridal gown, and everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful. Working with them was a smooth, easy process that simplified the wedding planning process. I would recommend Lana Addison to anyone looking for their wedding dress. Their prices are reasonable, and the staff is lovely!

I had a wonderful bridal appointment with Katherine. She was genuine, friendly, and very easy to talk to. I felt my needs were well understood and she picked a dress that I loved more than the ones I picked myself. It was a stress-free and highly satisfying wedding dress selection process. I'd definitely recommend this experience to others!

Nightmare! I purchased a gown from this store 6 months ago, it finally arrived 2 months before my wedding and came to find out that the dress looked different from the sample. It had more pleats than the original dress. It made my waist look like a square and was not what I agreed to get, the special moment was ruined my dress was ruined. I explained to them how upset I was about this, I requested a refund. They offered to make alterations to make look more similar to the original one but I was not going to pay for something that I did not order. They said that all sales are final no matter if it does not look like the dress you agreed to purchase. On the receipt they state that the designer has the right to change some aspects of the dress but I didn't think it was going to be such a big difference. I started looking for a new dress since this store took a long time to give me a solution and answer. Thank God I was able to find a dress somewhere else at the last minute. I regret so much ordering a dress from here I would not bring my family and friends here. The dress was very expensive but the quality is not compared to what I paid.From the beginning the atmosphere is uncomfortable, I always felt like I didn’t belong there or like I didn’t have money to pay there. Funny because I went to much nicer bridal stores and never made me feel like that. This place doesn’t allow to take pictures of the gowns or even touch them! Not even the nicer bridal stores do this. At the first appointment, they give up an incentive 10% value of your dress, to use in the store but it felt like you end up paying for that incentive they just add it to the dress cost, and their prices are higher than other places, even if I wanted to use the incentive for accessories in the store you end up paying almost regular price because their prices are high. I went to a few bridal stores where the experience was much better. I highly recommend other stores like coastal knot bridal, Gilded bridal, Simply Blush, New York Bridal and groom, a&bé bridal shop, Vow's, one of the next experiences I had was White of Raleigh bridal boutique. Even David's Bridal was better than this place. I found my reception dress at Carolina Bridal World and they even ordered the dress according to my height I didn't have to worry about alterations. This was my experience. I had to pick up the dress otherwise they were going to charge me for storage. I lost more than 3,000 dollars. I hope this does not happen to a future bride. Good Luck.

Really enjoyed my experience at Lana Addison and found my dream wedding dress there! The consultant was helpful and knowledgeable. She had me try on dresses I was requesting (that met my criteria) and a few that met most of my criteria but not all and surprisingly the dress I ended up choosing I never would have dreamed of choosing!

The women in the shop were absolutely lovely. Notably though you cannot take pictures in the gowns because of some designers rights/copyright. If you're someone who needs to reflect and see a picture after the fact this spot might not be for you (I personally looked back at pictures from other shops where I loved the dress on and later looking at the pictures I hated how it looked, considering pictures are what will look back at after the day, it was an important thing for me to reflect on). Of the many places I searched for gowns this shop definitely had the least amount of variety in styles and gowns BUT they do have a lot of options to add design features if thats something you're interested in.

I scheduled 2 appointments on the same day to try on wedding dresses. My first appointment was at Lana Addison and needless to say, I cancelled my second appointment! The girls at Lana Addison were wonderful. They helped me find my perfect dress in what seemed like just a few minutes. They made the whole process very fun and very easy.

I bought my dream dress here a few weeks ago! Caroline sat with my mom, sister and I for a short time to go over what I was looking for in a dress and she looked over my Pinterest inspiration page. Legitimately, the first dress she put me in was the dress I bought. It nailed every single thing I was looking for and more! I tried on a few more until she suggested I tried the first back on, and I just knew it.I loved my experience here and would recommend to anyone to come get their dress here! The dresses are fairly affordable and they make the experience very intimate/exclusive.

I had a truly miserable experience at Lana Addison as I was pressured into buying a dress that I was unhappy with. I‘d said multiple times that I didn’t think it was the one and that I needed to sleep on it, but stupidly let myself be talked into it anyway. A sales rep with any moral conscious should have recognized that it was not the dress for me and let it go. Unfortunately, this one did not. I called the very next day asking them if I could cancel the order and was told no, it’s already been placed. Any other bridal shop I spoke to about this situation was floored that I couldn’t cancel ONE DAY later. I asked if I could choose another dress from their store for that price or more, anything to not have to wear this dress that I knew wasn’t right and was told „it’s Just Dress regret, it happens to everyone, wait until you see it and fall in love with it again.“ (Apparently they’d forgotten that I didn’t like the dress in the first place). After numerous calls, emails, tears, and more begging, they agreed to let me choose another dress by the same designer; unfortunately I was unable to find a one that I liked. Luckily, the designer released a spring collection shortly thereafter so I asked if I could try those on. Lana Addison was going to charge hundreds of dollars (which would not go toward the dress) just to ship them in to try on. Interestingly enough, they were having a trunk show with this designer a week later and neglected to tell me. I ended up asking another store to bring the dresses in to try on (who funnily enough did NOT charge to bring them in) and found one I liked.Eventually I was happy with my dress but dealing with Lana Addison (and the owner particularly) was an absolute nightmare and made my dress shopping experience- something I should look back on with joy- truly miserable.The ONLY highlight at this store was Caroline who maintained composure and a kind attitude all throughout this experience. I‘m sure she probably hated working with my by the end of it, but she never let it show which I was grateful for- thank you Caroline for being the one saving grace.If you do unfortunately find your dress here, I would recommend having alterations done elsewhere as they are exorbitantly overpriced at Lana Addison.

Lana Addison made my bridal experience absolutely unforgettable. I felt so comfortable and encouraged by this staff, without any pressure what so ever. Caroline and Erica were fantastic. So patient and genuinely cared about my experience. I got to say yes to the dress and it was a day I will never forget!
