Hannah was the best helping to pick out my wedding gown! I went to many bridal boutiques, including several in NYC, and my favorite experience was here at Annalise Bridal. All around great experience and felt very personalized! Would highly reccomend!

I can't say enough about how much I love Annalise Bridal Boutique. My entire experience was such a breeze and so exciting from the moment I first walked into the boutique through picking up my gown once it arrived. The entire team is so communicative and helpful. Hands down one of my favorite experiences throughout the wedding planning process, and I can't wait to wear my gown in June!

I traveled from the DC area to Annalise Bridal and had the most amazing experience! They were so welcoming to my family and made me feel like the most special bride. They helped me pick out my dream dress! I could not be more thankful for them. I will be recommending all my friends to come here!

They have a good selection of gowns, but are not the most welcoming or involved in the selection process as compared to other salons. They did not pull gowns for me as they got a sense for my preferences, as other salon stylists did. They are constantly posting "pick up" and "say yes" pictures of other brides on their social media, but that was never offered.They are a very strict business. I tried to cancel my order 8 days after placing it and they could not. They also told me to pay to "rush ship" the dress to get it in 4.5 months and it arrived in 6 weeks- the rush fee was a waste of money and shows that the dresses are not actually "made to order" and that the order could have been easily cancelled. I also wouldn't recommend buying a MWL dress from here because I later learned that other salons offer split sizing for this designer, which would have saved me money in alterations too. The overall experience was quite negative for me.

I had such a great experience, Annalise is the way to go!! Was well worth the travel from NYC. Rachel was so helpful, personal, and made great efforts to connect with me. Highly recommend! Me and my girls felt welcomed and celebrated. Truly a magical day. They make you feel confident in your choices and respect the time it takes to make the big decision :)

I came to Annalise to try on a specific dress I'd seen online and had an amazing experience. Our sales associate was kind and patient and gently encouraged me to try on one of their other dresses that I'd never have picked on my own, and it turned out to be the one! I highly recommend this beautiful studio.

Annalise was the first place I tried wedding dresses on and I had a great experience! Lindsey was very nice and knowledgeable about the dresses they had and what could be done with each. Also, the shop is beautiful and gets great natural light! Though I ended up selecting my wedding dress at a different shop just based on what ended up feeling more like "me", Annalise has tons of beautiful options to try on and their staff were great to work with throughout the process.

I had the pleasure of visiting both of their gorgeous locations - downtown and the new boutique at Libbie Mill. I had a very tight timeline between dress shopping and my wedding date, and they were very upfront about which designers I was able to choose from and super accommodating of my tight timeline. Hannah had all the gowns I had chosen ahead of time ready for me try on when my family and I arrived. I knew the second I put on the first dress that it was the one. I liked the button detailing on a different dress I tried on, and Hannah let me know that the buttons could be added to the dress I ultimately chose. She also let me know about other modifications that could be made to some of the other dresses as well. When I picked up my dress, there was a miscommunication about the buttons, as they weren't on the dress. However, Hannah was able to mail them to me (very quickly) so they could be added by my seamstress. The trips to Richmond were well worth it - my dress was absolutely stunning!!

I had the absolute most magical experience wedding dress shopping at Annalise, not only did I have the entire boutique to myself but they made my vision a reality. The boutique is stunning from the moment you pull up. The staff is knowledgeable and so friendly. I felt like a princess bride the entire time and so happy I was able to say YES to the most perfect dress.

I wish I could have bought every single one I tried on. I went in with a specific dress I was looking for and ultimately chose that one and I am so happy with it. It was a tough choice in the end between two dresses but Hannah was great and confirmed I was happiest in the dress I wanted all along. She was patient with my 6 year old and let her pick out a few dresses for me to try which was amazing! I cannot wait to go back to pickup my dress and try on veils.

When it came time to finally plan my own wedding, it almost felt surreal being the bride, since I have been working as a planner serving clients in the industry for 10+ years. The staff at Annalise were amazing and truly made me feel special as I began the planning journey. From their knowledge to varied inventory and the overall vibe of their gorgeous boutique dress shopping with them was a wonderful and comfortable experience. While I thought saying “yes to the dress” would be one of the easiest decisions of all those that come with wedding planing, it proved to be a little tough for me between so many I loved! Lindsay was the most patient human EVER as I ended up visiting the shop 3 times to finally decide on “the one!” She gently reminded me of timeline for ordering to keep me on track, helped me weigh options in my price range without pushing me, and gave great suggestions when it came to accessories/ alterations, etc. She went the extra mile and helped me secure a deal on a cape veil that I decided I must have! I felt like a queen on the big day, and will forever be in love with the gown and its’ timeless style. It was such a treat being on the “Bride” side of this process and feeling so taken care of. We continue to recommend Annalise to all our clients. Don’t say “yes to the dress” without adding Annalise Bridal Boutique to your shopping list.

Annalise made all my bridal dreams come true! I loved how intimate the shop felt and appreciated the guidance and support I received. Both my dress and veil were perfect for what I was looking for. It was also great that Annalise has such a close relationship with some local alteration shops because I knew my dress would be in good hands while being made to fit like a glove. I can’t thank Annalise enough for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!!

Best experience with Annalise Bridal! They listen so well to me, as the bride, and my desires and had a great inventory of styles/designers to choose from that met exactly what I wanted. Classic, elegance. I loved the intimacy of being the only bride in the shop too. Annalise also had great references for alterations - I felt beautiful in the final gown!
