st perfect dress that checked all my boxes and was within my budget! I had another gown on my mind, from another salon, but Ania had that dress in stock so they had me try on my top 2 back-to-back so I could decide. The experience was very comfortable and easygoing! She had me in and out of gowns in no time. Nothing felt pushed or rehearsed which I really appreciated. The dress I ordered came in a month earlier which was great. I recently went dress shopping with another bride and her bridesmaids. Ania was our 5th stop and they all agreed that the service there was the best they’d experienced. I highly recommend this salon! Also worth it to mention that they have a tailor in-house for alterations if needed, or you have the option of taking it to someone else!

I showed her a picture of a dress I saw on Pinterest that I loved. Amanda looked at the picture, grabbed some dresses and the first dress I tried on is the one that was very similar to the picture I showed her. And that is the dress I bought and fell in love with from the beginning. She was so helpful with every aspect of my appointment that I left and emailed Ania telling them about my amazing experience. I have recommended several friends to go to Ania to go dress shopping and the friends that have gone there have all had an amazing experience. I just had my first official fitting with Amanda last weekend and the dress fit perfect. I had such a great experience. My sister actually just got engaged and made an appointment at Ania for August with Amanda. I will always tell people to go to Ania :) Also a side note - Ania is not pushy, AT ALL.

oked like they were made for me. Her demeanor is PERFECTION. In contrast to any other store I visited, I felt like I belonged at Ania, it was comfortable and easy, and Amanda was on my team. There was zero pressure - she is so genuine, and really just wanted me to be happy with my choice, wherever it was. She was able to articulate and produce things I wanted even when I was having trouble explaining it. I felt HAPPY when I left Ania, as opposed to stressed and sometimes confused with other choices. The wedding industry can be so anxiety inducing. Ania is quite the opposite. Best decision ever.

I told her exactly what I was looking for, and after all day looking at dresses I thought I knew... My group and I chose a few and Jenny picked a few for me to try on. The first dress I tried on was picked by Jenny and I loved it, but wasn’t sold yet. I tried on the others and more, but ended up back in dress #1. After a little walk and a look in the big mirror I started crying because I knew it was THE DRESS. It was all thanks to Jenny that I found my dream dress. It is an amazing atmosphere, everybody is extremely friendly and helpful, and did I mention the champagne?!? They were refilling our glasses whenever we felt we were too low.

ok it back and they said it would be fixed. I was told my by consultant that she said she would be with me for my alterations and tell the seamstress “exactly how I wanted it.” I spent almost an hour with the seamstress by myself, who would not listen to a word I said. The bust on my dress was too big. After speaking for a little while trying to explain why I needed alterations, the seamstress said “okay but if there is any problems with the dress, come tell me, don’t go complaining to anyone else”, a weird comment to make but I decided to forget about it because the consultants said she was at her job. 2 weeks later I go for my final fitting and it did not look like my dress anymore. My cups were taken out of the dress, the entire lace top was detached from the lining, and the lace was ripping. The dress was sagging, as before, it fit almost perfectly. I asked “why isn’t the lace attached to the dress anymore?” The seamstress response was “oh honey, it was never attached” After arguing about it, I ask to get the sample to compare and she realized it was suppose to be attached. She told me that I could add cups in it if I wanted to make it feel better and she turns around and grab two cups that were laying on the floor with all of her scraps and unzips my dress and begins sowing cups into my dress while I am wearing it (there was cups in it when the dress first arrived). May I mind you that these cups were D cups, I wear a B cup. A supervisor came in and told the seamstress what she needed to do with the dress and the second the supervisor leaves, the seamstress says she is not going to do that because "it won’t look good". I left obviously upset and was told that I would get a call in the morning. I got a call from a supervisor saying that the seamstress has been talked to and that the dress was not finished as it should have been. My consultant/supervisor said that that she tried looking for the same dress but could not find it anywhere, and obviously if the supervisor is trying to find another dress, the one they had was pretty messed up. She said that “the dress was going to be fixed, but it wasn’t going to look the same”. I took the dress home to get another opinion of another seamstress also said “the dress would not look like it once did”. I was very upset. I told the company that either they needed to get me another dress in the same size or be financially responsible for what has happened. They said the only option they could offer me is to take it back in to their seamstress to get fixed and finished and that they would cover the alterations. At this point, I don't care if the alterations are covered, I do not trust taking it back to them as my wedding is 2 1/2 weeks away and they said “well sorry, you aren’t giving us much options”. Thus, I am left less than 2 weeks away a ruined dress that even if it was fixed, “would not look like the same dress”. I would not recommend this place to anyone for their unprofessional and unwillingness to take responsibility for what has happened. I would not rely or trust them for anything especially your dress for your big day.

It didn't end up being the one, but it just showed that she really knew what would be flattering on me, even better than I did! At the end of my session, after we had narrowed it down, she said "I'm going to write down all of your favorites and put it in an envelope for you. You go, do your other appointments and if you want to come back just call me!" No hard sell, no pushiness, no pressure! I left and went to another appointment. The atmosphere was much stuffier and the consultant was a total pushy sales woman. The experience was not as fun and I felt a lot of pressure to buy, even though I was really clear that I didn't want any of the dresses I tried on there. When we left, I looked at the pictures of me in the very first dress I tried on at Ania, and I was sure it was the one. I called them and asked if I could come back in and they were so excited! They told me to come right over. They made time to put me back in the dress so I could be sure, and we bought it right then and there. Kaitlyn was sweet, funny and seemed so genuinely happy for me. Honestly, everyone at the salon was great. I will send EVERY future bride I meet to Ania Bridal. Love my dress and can't wait to wear it on my big day!

I had an amazing experience with Ania Bridal. When I came in for my first appointment, my bridal stylist Sophie had already pulled the dresses I had indicated on my online interest form, so we got started right away. Trying those dresses on was...
really useful, since I wasn't one of those brides who already knew what her dress would look like. Sophie used my reactions to the different dresses - what I liked and didn't like - to pull a few more dresses, including the one that ended up being the ONE (it was new, so I hadn't seen it on the website before and therefore couldn't list it on my form). She was also mindful of keeping the dresses within the budget I had indicated; I never felt like she was trying to sell me something, rather that she was guiding me on this wonderful journey of finding the right dress for me. About a week after the first appointment, Sophie called to check in, which was so thoughtful. By that time I had pretty much decided on my dress, so I made a second appointment just to be sure, and the rest is history! I don't know if I would have chosen my dress if left to my own devices, so I'm grateful to Sophie for encouraging me to try on something a little different than I had imagined. The rest of the process went smoothly as well. Sophie called to let me know when my dress had arrived, I used their in-house seamstress for my alterations, and they stored the dress until I picked it up for the wedding. Thanks to Sophie and the rest of the Ania team for such an enjoyable experience!

This expierience went from good to horror story. I had been to other salons around town and hadn’t been impressed by selection or service. Ania was different. Their service was great, I felt excited, and their dresses were beautiful and hey had...
a much broader selection than anyone else! I found the dress, we ordered it, and we put a rush on it. It was supposed to come in June for my September 2nd wedding. I called in June and no one would call me back or tell me about the status of my dress. I finally I got a hold of my original saleswoman and she admitted not looking at the confirmation when she put the order through and the designer had actually confirmed it would be August before the dress was in. August rolls around and we can’t get anyone to tell me when the dress would come in. Mid August the dress finally arrives...it came NOT as ordered and required a bunch of alterations. Ania picked up the tab for those, which eased the burden but not the stress. The last who originally helped me and ordered the dress is no longer there. Of course the dress ended up beautifully and was delivered a day before the wedding. But the stress of it all was not worth it. I would never recommend this salon even though they ‘made it right’ by picking up the tab for the alterations.

She sat down and asked me how I envisioned my day, and from there she picked out dresses she thought would match my vision. She was so patient through my indecisiveness and not only did she pick out beautiful dresses, but when I didn’t like one, she asked me what I liked about and it and what I didn’t, so the next dress she brought would be an improvement upon the next. She spent so much time with me; she even went over our scheduled time to make sure I loved my dress. I had so much fun and felt so beautiful when I picked out my final dress. I walked out of appointment with my wedding dress and it was gorgeous (I received so many compliments on how stunning it was). Ania also set me up with a seamstress Julie (also unbelievably wonderful and funny) and helped me pick out a veil to match my dress when I came in a few months before my wedding.

While I liked the few dresses I tried on at Ania, I had a few issues that ended up making me decide to go in another direction. First, I scheduled an appointment and when I got there they said I was an hour early. I don't think that's true, and...
it wasn't a huge deal to go down the road to get a coffee, a simple confirmation email a day or two before would have cleared that up. Secondly, I felt like I wasn't treated as special as I did at other shops. I was offered champagne but I was put in a back corner and it felt like my stylist had other things to do. I felt like I was rushed through the process. Most importantly, when I finally found a dress that I loved, I asked if I could come back a few months later to try it on as my sister would be flying into Portland to spend the weekend with me (it was important to me that she was there when I said yes). They called about 3 weeks before the 2nd consultation and told me that they wouldn't have that dress because they needed to ship it to a trunk show somewhere else. Unfortunately, they are one of the very few shops (next closest is in San Francisco) that carries that line of bridal dresses. Ultimately, I decided to cancel my 2nd consultation and head to a different bridal salon where I purchased another, just as beautiful dress. I understand the mishap, and I don't think there was any ill intention, but it was clear that my dress shopping experience wasn't what was important to them for that weekend.

Elizabeth, my attendant, was nothing but smiles and a soft spirited voice. Not only was she the calmest attendant I had had thus far, but she was the most attentive and honest, nothing like I had experienced (and it suited me!). The night before, I had found a dress that I had loved but was afraid to admit to myself because of the price tag. I had three other appointments that Saturday and Ania was the first one. After trying on a few other dresses that suited my taste, I told Elizabeth about the one from the night before, and lo-and-behold, they had the exact same dress in ivory! I sat and debated two dresses, one of my dreams and another that suited me but wasn't as immaculate. Elizabeth assuaged me that most often, finding a gown isn't as it's seen on TV - most never cry when they find their dress. This relieved an expectation, and I chose the one I felt in my gut. I have never been more satisfied with a decision. I canceled the other appointments that day, popped some champagne, and celebrated with the crew that had helped deliver me to the dress I knew I wanted. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the city with my family. My experience at Ania was unforgettable, and I am truly satisfied with the care I received from the people and the store.

Turns out she had also helped my friend over a year ago whose dress I loved, and even remembered which dress she sold her. She was able to show me something similar without giving me the exact same one. I will recommend her to every friend who gets married from now on. Also, before I even arrived the store was fantastic. I live in CA but PDX is home so I was doing my research from afar. I called ahead looking for a specific gown, knowing I had a one-day window to shop with my mom and sister.

I had some ideas of the silhouette I thought looked best on me and also had requested to see some dresses based on what I saw on their website. Kelly was friendly and kind, and really listened to what I wanted. The second dress I tried on was the ONE. Even though my party wanted me to try on other ones, I knew it was the one and so did Kelly. But she pulled other dresses for me to try on and even though every single dress was beautiful, they couldn't top off that second dress I tried on. And it was so nice that Kelly focused on what I wanted, even though my party was throwing out ideas on what they wanted me to try on. I went ahead and purchased the dress and cannot wait for it to arrive. Kelly thank you so much for the wonderful experience, cannot wait to see the new location and my wedding dress again.

Kelly made it so easy to find the dress of my dreams! She took all the stress away and gave us true and honest advice and was genuine, not just trying to make the sale. We were able to find the perfect dress after only trying on 4 dresses! WIN

After shopping for my wedding dress at 2 other stores in the area, I visited AniA to try on wedding dresses with my girlfriends. I didnt know exactly what I wanted, but I had an idea of what I didnt want. I was lucky enough to be working with S...
ophie. She was so down to earth and great to work with on picking out my dress! At the other places I went the atmosphere was a little bit stuck up or I felt pressured to buy something, but with Sophie it was the total opposite. She was so accommodating, great with her suggestions, and she helped me find the perfect dress I was looking for without pressuring me to buy that day. The dress I wound up getting was around $1000 and I had budgeted up to $2000, so that was a huge plus to find the perfect dress for half the cost! I was able to buy the dress, the veil and the alterations all under the price I had budgeted for the dress alone! I ordered the dress with Sophie. At a lot of places, once you have made your purchase the service goes downhill, but I experienced the total opposite here. Sophie was there for me every time I had a question or needed something, or had a question about my dress, my bridesmaids dresses, the fabric samples, the alterations... ANYTHING I needed, Sophie was there. If she was not in that day, Haley at the front desk was also very helpful. I highly recommend AniA to any brides looking for a dress, and if you have the chance, work with Sophie!

t, pulled exactly what I described, and anticipated what I didn't know I wanted. As a result, I ended up finding THE DRESS! She was so helpful and full of creative ideas and solutions. Ania's dress selection, even for the lowest of budgets, was vast. They carry the very best designers for regular, non millionaire brides and Ania's hospitality as a whole was wonderfully welcoming and charming. It was low stress, clean and we were provided with champagne! Exactly what I wanted my dress finding day to be.
