    We purchased my daughter's wedding gown from Ania Bridal. The associate Audrey helped us at the appointment. She seemed to have certain dresses picked out to put my daughter in. She really didn't listen to what she wanted. She was also putting her in dresses much too big, this was a special sale therefore the dress she purchased was what she took home. I voiced my concerns several times regarding the dress being too large for her and the amount of alterations that would be involved, including the cost that would be involved in that. She reassured.us several times that the dress, as we were told was a size 20 could be altered to fit. She even went as far as to have the lady from alterations come over and tell us it could be made to fit her. I mention the size 20 because I felt the size was several sizes too big. I know bridal runs small however she was a size 10 street size so I thought she should have been putting her in dresses in the 14-16 range, and I did also mention this to Audrey. She insisted she needed a size 20. Well after purchasing the dress, final sale, and getting it home it was then I was able to look at the tag to realize it was not a size 20 but a 22. So needless to say the dress cannot be altered down to fit her and we have had to purchase a completely different dress, size 12! My advice would be if you want to have more of an opinion with selection of what dresses you try on then don't go to Ania. My daughter was not even allowed to look at the dresses other than the ones the associate chose for her to try on. The whole experience was not great. We were rushed and the associate was very pushy. It feels like she was going to get an extra bonus for selling her the dress she did. And the fact that she said several times it was a size 20 just to find out she lied was very uneasy. The other thing we were lied to about was there was a small spot on the front of the dress that both Audrey and the lady from alterations said could be removed with alcohol or dry cleaning, which from the tags both clearly say not to do. Just question the training and knowledge they have there. The bridal salon we purchased the second dress from was a completely different experience. The associate was accommodating, and took my daughter shopping to pick out the dresses she wanted to try on and at no point did we ever feel pressured or rushed. I made the appointment with Ania because of all the reviews. I fee the need to write this because it is a big purchase but the memories are priceless. Just beware!

    I was absolutely blown away by Ania Bridal!! I had tried on dresses at two other stores, and this was the third store I tried dresses on at. My consultant Genna absolutely rocked it during our appointment! I gave her all the ideas I was looking for in a dress and she brought me 3 of the most perfect dresses to choose from right off the bat, she didn't waste any time - I didn't feel like I had to try on a million dresses to find my dream dress! We had more than enough time during the appointment because she did such a good job helping find the dress I wanted SO quickly! I was very impressed! She was extremely personable and sweet and kind! I enjoyed working with her SO much - by the end of the appointment I felt like we were genuine friends! I have a larger bust, and I'm not super thin - I was worried the dresses wouldn't fit me properly and I wouldn't be able to see what I would look like on my wedding day. I was pleasantly surprised when all of the dresses fit me very well and she only had to clip the backs of the dresses minimally. Genna made me feel extremely comfortable in my own skin and I didn't feel awkward swapping dresses in-front of her at all! 10/10 would recommend Ania Bridal!

    Ania Bridal was so wonderful! Each person I talked to or was around was a joy and were very kind. They offered us champagne or water when we arrived for my appointment and the wait was not long at all before I met my stylist. My stylist, Audrey, did a wonderful job! She was intuitive, quick thinking, and made me feel very comfortable. I am so glad I was able to come here while on vacation visiting family. I would 100% recommend this bridal store to anyone in the area! Audrey helped me find my dress and made me feel really beautiful great job Ania Bridal!

    During a long fun day full of various bridal shop hopping to hopefully find 'the one', my 3rd stop at Ania Bridal was the one that led me to cancel my 4th appointment of the day..because I said yes! :D The experience was great from start to finish, from the excitement in the air throughout whole shop down to our own room with a personalized TV screen welcome and complimentary champagne. Our bridal stylist, Kassidy, greeted us with energetic enthusiasm, confident and ready to help find the perfect look. After her telling her a little about my style goals, and the wedding venue, she went out for a few minutes to bring in some options. Well guess what, the first one we tried on is the one I left the store with a receipt for. I couldn't imagine a better experience, dress, or stylist. When the moment of "this is the dress" came, she shared in the squeals with my mom, sister and I - and I'll just never forget my day here. After we quickly knew we found the dress, we just got to play dress up with trying on other unique fun ones since we had the time! Thank you Kassidy and Ania Bridal for everything what I was hoping for and more!

    Ready for my hand selected dresses!

    Courtney was my stylist on Saturday and she did a fabulous job! After the first set of dresses, she had my style down to a T! She made me and my family feel very welcome and we just had a blast. Ania's collection was absolutely stunning! I definitely recommend for the full bridal dress shopping experience!

    Absolutely loved it here. I came in alone while on a lunch break one day, I wanted to find a dress alone anyways so it worked. The gal I had was amazing and I found a dress I loved and in the price range I wanted. She was able to give me a lot of options in all different prices, the one I chose was way cheaper than I expected to pay. The service was great from start to finish. Highly recommend coming here for your dress. Absolutely loved my dress and my experience at Ania.

    The beautiful gown ordered altered and ready to go in under 3 months!

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if the shop was plus size friendly and LGBTQ+ friendly? I'm new to the area so I'm not sure of the best places to look for a dress and have a good experience. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask beforehand. Thanks so much!

She was an absolute 10 out of 10. What made Nadine so exceptional is her unique background as a former therapist. Rather than focusing solely on dress styles, silhouettes, or trends, she guided my daughter through the process by asking thoughtful, insightful questions about who she is as a person and how she wants to feel on her wedding day. Her approach brought so much clarity and meaning to the experience. Nadine was incredibly intentional in how she selected dresses for my daughter to try on. She explained her process along the way, using each dress as a point of comparison to help narrow down preferences and discover what truly resonated. Her method kept the experience from becoming overwhelming and helped simplify what can often feel like an endless sea of choices. Beyond her expertise, Nadine was simply wonderful to spend the morning with. She was calm, joyful, authentic, down-to-earth, and immediately put everyone at ease. She created a space that felt supportive, thoughtful, and fun. The way she weaves her therapeutic background into the art of bridal styling is a true gift. She helped my daughter connect not just with a dress, but with how she wants to show up and feel on a day that reflects who she is at her core. We left feeling grateful, understood, and excited. We are so thankful that Nadine shared her gift with us, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

The bridal tailor was very impressed and said this is rare, only 1-2% of dresses she sees. Very welcome news and I feel like a&bé and Lauren in particular deserve a special shout out for her excellent guidance and spot on accuracy. A big relief not to have to spend another hundreds or thousands on alterations.

Teri is very…read moregood at explaining how the architecture of a dress works, which is why I picked her over a boutique designer. She was never super friendly during our visits, even forgetting that we had an appointment once or twice. She was pretty cold when I brought my mom and mother in law in.. not very fun during a very exciting time. The most important thing... the dress never had much done to it whenever I had an appointment! She would literally start sowing on it when I'd come in and made very simple and sometimes careless details that I had to ask to have redone with more care. The worst thing, the day of picking up the dress, she was not done with it, finishing it in front of me. She DID NOT FINISH THE SEAMS UNDER MY DRESS. It was literally tattered seams underneath and I had a train, so if it flipped over, it was tattered shreds. She said this was normal, to preserve the soft look on the outside. I took it to two seamstresses afterward and no one said this was normal or acceptable. But we had no time to fix it before the wedding so I wore it anyway. During my wedding I felt self conscious and worried that my dress would show the tatters or would fall apart... as I had jeweled straps and the jewels were very lose. I had to donate my dress afterward because it was just falling apart... and they would only accept the dress because they could use the fabric to practice on lol, they couldn't even fix it to be worn again.

There were elements to several dresses that I loved but none of them combined into one. Here's where Terri at Embellish Design comes in. I decided that having my dress custom-made was the way to go. I contacted Terri and went to her studio in her house in NE Portland. Let's just say that the woman is AMAZINGLY talented. She went to Parsons School of Design in LA and her abilities are incredible. We sat down and discussed different dresses and styles, fabrics and details. She brought out fabric samples and talked about the pros and cons of each. The experience was incredibly fun...we built a dress that was exactly what I had wanted on all fronts (fabric, shape, detail). Her work was incredibly gorgeous AND the cost of the dress when all was said and done was cheaper than any of the dresses I had tried on in the shops. She also has a party dress business called Olivia Luca.

The shuttle driver at the venue bailed us out of the situation by lending me a dress she had that was similar in color to the bridesmaid's dresses and it all worked out in the end, but it definitely put a small damper on my friend's big day!
