We LOVED working with Annalise Bridal. They had a great selection of "modern minimal" gowns, a fantastic showroom, and really kind and helpful associates.
I had a lovely shopping experience at Annalise! My consultant pulled dresses that were perfect for me and fit my budget/style. She really listened to me throughout the process and pulled a dress for me I would have never thought to pick- the dr...
ess I said yes to! It was a relaxing, beautiful day at Annalise!
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.
Any questions?
I had the best experience at Annalise Bridal Boutique! Lindsey was knowledgable about the dresses, she was patient as I tried on many dresses, and she helped me find my dream dress! I recommend Annalise to anyone I know looking for a dress in R...

Annalise Bridal is the place to go if you want to look like an absolute DREAM. Booking an appointment was so easy (although they do book up fast) and they are punctual and respectful of everyone's wishes. I went in with a designer and vague ide...
a of what I wanted in mind, and our stylist was able to find a plethora of dreamy dresses that fit my vision exactly. It was hard to make a decision! Not only were the stylists courteous, but they also did NOT put pressure on me to make a decision right away (even though I did!) and they even made sure to recommend some local seamstresses for alterations and bustling. I am so pleased with Annalise Bridal and recommend them to anyone in Virginia!
Amazing bridal boutique. They were very responsive and answered all my questions in detail, especially because I wanted several customizations made to the dress I ordered. They were professional and so nice to work with. Highly recommend!
After visiting 5-6 bridal boutiques in the immediate DC area, I decided to make the trek out to Richmond - and I'm so thrilled that I did!
When I arrived, Lindsey had already laid out all the gowns I mentioned in my consultation form, as well ...
as others that matched my requested style and a few wildcards! She was so patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process - from booking my appointment, to choosing my DREAM dress, and pick up! My friends and I had such a wonderful time - it was truly a welcoming and intimate experience. The team is incredibly responsive via email in case you have any questions. For those of you wondering if you should venture from DC (or elsewhere) - go for it!
As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to find my dress at Annalise! Kennedy was so kind, thoughtful, helpful, and a great listener. She made me feel very welcomed! She gave me honest opinions and suggestions, which was so helpful! I gave h...
er some "ideal" designs and she found some amazing options for me without pushing me to buy any of them. ALL of the dresses were stunning! I had a VERY hard time picking my dress because I loved all of them. You will not regret going to Annalise!!!
The best bridal shop in Richmond! I could not recommend Annalise Bridal more. On top of being the most beautiful space to shop in, the consultants are warm, friendly and makes you feel SO special during your appointment. They were very knowledg...
eable about each designer and all of the customizations available for each dress I tried on. I loved how I never felt rushed to make a decision and the consultants were so patient answering any questions I had. There is an amazing selection of dresses and you can tell the quality of designers they carry is top notch. I highly recommend Annalise Bridal to everyone I know! The best bridal experience in town!
I bought the perfect dress from Annalise Bridal, and highly recommend them to future brides. Their boutique is clean and bright, and all their employees are very kind. After some previous appointments at other bridal boutiques that left me feel...
ing bummed and leaving without a dress, I wish that I had gone to Annalise first. Our consultant brought out the dress that I ended up choosing, and at first sight I wasn't sure I was a fan, but she encouraged me to try it on and it ended up being the one. If it wasn't for her strong eye and support, I wouldn't have gotten what ended up being the perfect dress for me.
Lindsey was kind and helpful throughout the appointment. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel comfortable! It’s not everyday you try on wedding dresses, so to have such a lovely experience really made it stress free!!
Amazing boutique!! We went to multiple different locations throughout the day and Annalise was by far the best atmosphere, experience and best staff! You will not be disappointed shopping here for your special day!
My experience at Annalise Bridal Boutique was phenomenal. Making an appointment was super easy. I really enjoyed having the store to myself as it allowed for a more personal and intimate experience. Rachel was amazing!! She made me feel comf...
ortable and helped me pick out great styles to try on. I was able to try on all the dresses I had on my pinterest board, which was a plus! I would highly recommend Annalise to those in the Richmond area.
I went here 2 days after getting engaged just to look. Get an idea of what I wanted, and they had a cancellation, so we were like, “why not?”. They pulled SO many options for me and were just so kind and fun, especially shopping mid-pandemic (J...
an. 2021). They made the process easy, and communication was on point also. One of my bridal party also got her dress here, which is why I wanted to check them out. Great vibe, and there was no pushiness or anything to buy. Honest, stuck to my budget, and made me feel special.
Words cannot do justice how wonderful it is working with the team at Annalise! They are creative, patient, kind, and so incredibly helpful. The selection of dresses is amazing and helped me narrow down my favorite silhouettes, fabrics, and deta...
ils. I am so grateful to the entire team for being personally invested in my dress selection and fittings from my first appointment up until our wedding day.
I walked by this bridal salon on my lunch break almost every day for years and couldn’t wait for the moment where I could finally experience trying on their gowns! I had such a fabulous experience working with Annalise - the entire staff is so ...
lovely, friendly and helpful. They are very quick to respond to emails and inquiries and made my experience so amazing! I purchased both my dress and my veil from them and would highly highly recommend!! They have a beautiful inventory of dresses, a great staff, and made my entire experience so perfect. Top bridal salon in Richmond, VA for sure!
I loved everything about Annalise. The consultants, the inventory, everything! They were so sweet and professional and it made it so easy (and fun)!
My daughter found her gorgeous wedding dress at Annalise. Everyone there is so helpful, pleasant and professional. Richmond is lucky to have this beautiful boutique.
I had the most wonderful and relaxing experience wedding dress shopping at Annalise Bridal! Lindsey and Stephanie were absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t feel pressured or rushed, it was so relaxing! It honestly felt like I was shopping with frien...
ds. They were so friendly and knowledgeable. I highly highly recommend this shop for your wedding dress! I found the dress of my dreams with Lindsey and Stephanie’s help❤️
I found the one here! Kennedy and the other woman working with her were wonderful. I went on a Friday and I'm not sure if this is the norm, but I was the only one there, which made for a really great, relaxing, hands on experience.
My mom and ...
sister were really excited since this was their first appointment with me and Kennedy was great about letting them "shop" around and pull dresses for me to try out. (Another place I went wasn't so great and they had to just sit on the couch; needless to say, didn't find "the one" there since my consultant never really got a sense for what I wanted.)
I went through A LOT of dresses (in a good way) since I was basically trying everything and not giving a ton of direction. But even so, Kennedy and the other woman helped me find the one I was looking for! It was actually a great moment because I saw the other woman quietly point out the dress to Kennedy and then let her pull it (since Kennedy was my consultant).
Overall though, a super relaxing and fun experience. I didn't buy the dress that day but nonetheless Kennedy took my measurements just in case but never pressured me to make a decision. I'm glad that I did this since after going to a couple of other places, I knew this was the one for me!
Lindsey was so helpful and always quick to respond when I had questions. She made the process easy on me and even suggested other retailers when I was considering my options. Highly recommend.
This boutique is magical!! Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, but the staff if so kind and they truly want you to be happy/satisfied with the dress you choose! I sent my Pinterest board before my appointment and they picked out gowns that...
were perfect for my style. I chose the first the first dress I tried on :)
My experience was great! I appreciate their commitment to following up with their brides. They also provided recommendations for tailoring, sizing, picking the right bridesmaid dress to compliment my dress, the season, the venue, etc. Overall, ...
I’m am very happy with my experience at Annalise Bridal Boutique!
Wonderful experience! Everyone in the boutique was friendly and very helpful. They gave us plenty of time to try on the dresses, I never felt rushed. I appreciated the review at the end of trying on all the dresses. There was absolutely NO pres...
sure to buy the dress, I was actually encouraged to go home and think about it prior to ordering the dress. Guidance was provided about the ordering times and what alterations person we would use to be sure my dress would be ready for my big day. I was concerned with the price range based on their website, but I was pleasantly surprised with the number of dresses they had in a more affordable price range. I have not yet received the dress or had alterations. I will add more when we get to that stage.
This small business is truly the best -- from the moment I walked in and described my "vision," Jax was able to bring it to life with the dresses she pulled for me. She ultimately guided me to my wedding dress by focusing in on certain details,...
making thoughtful suggestions, etc. These ladies are incredible and the studio is gorgeous. A wonderful experience!!!
I can’t rave enough about Annalise bridal! I had such a wonderful experience. I showed them a few pictures of dresses I tried on the day prior at another shop and was given 5 fabulous options of dresses that I honestly would’ve never picked out...
myself. I ending up buying the very first one I was given, that looked like nothing I’ve seen before. They were so accommodating by customizing the dress to be everything I was looking for, and even addressed all questions my mom and MIL had. I wanted to sleep on the decision and was emailed all of the information with an invoice that we filled out the next morning. There was no pressure and because of it, I was even more inclined to make the purchase. Everyone left extremely happy! Great experience overall!
Annalise Bridal was amazing! It was like they knew exactly what I was looking for. They were able to pull amazing dresses for me that matched my vision and I ended up buying the first one I tried on! It was a great experience and I cannot wait ...
to go back once my dress arrives. 10/10 would recommend Annalise Bridal to anyone wedding dress shopping.
Such a great experience - even with the extra COVID precautions. I had an amazing time pulling dresses to try on and they were so helpful to help me find a style that I liked. Went above and beyond to get me into and out of dresses to ensure I ...
was comfortable before walking out to show my family. Super nice and knowledgable about the dresses and styles. Would definitely recommend Annalise to anyone looking for a dress. I even made a second appointment to make sure I loved the dress and they helped me decide on alterations that fit my ideas better.
Annalise Bridal is the best place to find your dream dress! The staff is so kind and helpful. I loved every dress I tried on and Jax knew exactly what dresses to pick for me. She even surprised me with a few that I wouldn't pick for myself. I c...
annot say enough great things about Annalise Bridal. I am so happy I found my dress there!
First, I’d like to say that Jacks (I’m unsure how to spell her name) and Lindsey were a tremendous help and they made me feel comfortable the whole way through this experience. This was my first bridal boutique I ever went to and they helped me...
find the perfect dress for my wedding and I’m just sad I have to wait a whole year to wear it on my big day. They were so sweet, accommodating, and understanding, considering I was almost an hour late to my appt bc of traffic. They definitely didn’t let that inconvenience from remaining professional with me and I really appreciated that, because honestly I would’ve been annoyed if I was my own client haha. So thank you Annalise Bridal Boutique for your help and I would definitely recommend anyone who is worried about having a positive experience with wedding dress shopping to come here, you won’t be disappointed.
Absolutely incredible, top notch bridal boutique in Richmond. I set up appointments at 3 different bridal shops in Richmond, and the other 2 did not even come CLOSE to Annalise as far as quality of the wedding dresses, professionalism, and know...
ledge of staff. The quality of the gowns is unbeatable and they definitely had the best selection. I loved my entire experience with Annalise. Definitely make this your first and last stop!!
I had a wonderful experience at Annalise Bridal. I fell in love with a dress online and saw that they were the only retailer in VA that carried the designer and it just so happen to be that weekend they were having a trunk show with the designe...
r. They were able to squeeze me and Jax was so amazing and made me feel like a bride. They have a wonderful selection of dresses and boutique is stunning. Not to mention that you are the only bride in the solon is the best touch to get the intimate experience.
My experience at Annalise Bridal was nothing short of wonderful! The owner Lindsey was also the consultant I worked with, and she was great - super sweet, approachable, and knowledgeable about all things bridal attire. They stocked a beautiful ...
selection of dresses and accessories in a variety of styles, so I was able to try on multiple different options to pinpoint exactly what I wanted. The ordering process was also seamless and fairly quick. Lindsey was able to direct me to a wonderful seamstress (Claudia at Seams Alterations), which was very much appreciated as it took another task off my plate. I 100% recommend Annalise Bridal and wouldn’t change a thing about my dress shopping experience!
My experience at Annalise Bridal was amazing! The space was gorgeous and the consultants were very kind and helpful. They accommodated my budget despite it being at the lower end and I found my dream dress!
This shop is perfect and adorable and cozy and inviting. They make the experience so relaxing and personalized, and they even had several styles ready for me to try when I arrived. I never felt pressured and I got all the pros and cons and diff...
erences between all the styles I tried on. They selection is incredible and the natural lighting of the space just makes you feel like an absolute princess! I ended up picking a dress that was totally different than what I had imagined, along with my veil. It was the total package of an experience. I wish I could relive the day again!
Hannah was great! She was very helpful and brought great energy to my dress shopping experience.
Loved my experience here! Emily and Lindsey helped me select various styles that captured that hard-to-describe thing I was looking for in my dress. Getting in and out of gowns in the dressing room felt like being assisted by the most down-to-...
earth, stylish, accepting friend. As a person prone to melting down when overwhelmed, I feared wedding dress shopping. I'm so glad Annalise was the first (and only <3) shop I visited. I ended up really loving the process!
Happy to say I found my dress at Annalise! I travelled to Annalise from Washington, DC to look at a specific designer they stocked. I had the entire store to myself, so it felt like a private appointment. I was helped by Hannah who was wonde...
rful at picking dresses and helping me try them on. She accommodated all my requests to see different belts and veils. They spent time explaining the sizing options once I had picked the dress. In summary, they made it a special experience for my mom and I (which has been more difficult during Covid) and the space was adorable. Highly recommend.
This was my first experience bridal dress shopping and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Annalise Bridal Boutique helped me find a unique dress within my budget.
Annalise Bridal is the perfect boutique to find YOUR dream dress! With Lindsey's expertise and support, I found my dress at my first appointment (a big surprise for someone as indecisive as I am). I was lucky enough to have the whole boutique t...
o myself and family while I tried on dresses, which was so intimate and comfortable. Lindsey also had a calming presence and made the experience rememberable for me.
My favorite wedding dress shop in Richmond! Their selection was beyond anything I imagined and the women working there are so helpful and kind. It was the best experience I could ask for!
My experience at Annalise was amazing. I knew from Instagram how beautiful the salon was, and the dresses they offered, but I had no idea the experience would be so great as well. Lindsey had obviously thoroughly read my description of what I w...
anted, and had gowns ready to go by appointment time. In the end she helped me find 2 amazing gowns for my wedding and I am so thankful! I felt no pressure during my appointment, both to select a gown or to rush with trying things on. Payment was easy and clear, picking up my gown was easy and clear. Truly an experience I’ll always cherish!
This was the first bridal shop I went to on my journey to find the perfect dress! Jax was so incredibly sweet and helpful. She had my first choice dress ready to go and was there to accessorize and fluff my train! Can't wait to come back for my...
first fitting. Thanks again!!
I first went to Annaliese to help my sister find her dress. We had such a good experience there, I knew this was the shop I would want to find my dress! Luckily I also found the perfect dress for me! The shop is beautiful, and I love being able...
to have the store to yourself for your appointment. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful, but in no way pushy or did I feel pressured to buy something. There was a wide variety of different types of dresses to try. I decided to make a small design change to the dress I purchased, and the consultants were able to get answers for me regarding the design change quickly from the vendor. After taking a day to think about which dress to purchase, I went back the next day to try on again and knew I found my perfect dress! I would highly recommend this boutique!
Annalise Bridal Boutique deserves Well beyond 5 stars. My journey started with them the first weekend of March 2019, we all know what happens after this. After finding a dress I liked The entire staff at Annalise helped guide me through the ord...
ering process through COVID-19 . The Annalise staff kept me updated with shipping info as it came to them. After the dress arrived Annalise Bridal was very accommodating with this health care worker to help me get my dress safe and secure. The staff is wonderful and the Boutique was SUPER clean and very charming. 10/10 would recommend.
This store is amazing!!! They had so many dresses in every style you could want to try on. Lindsay was amazing helping me figure out what I was looking for and suggesting dresses that would work with my venue. She was also great about telling m...

This was the best bridal dress experience ever! The salon was absolutely gorgeous and Jack and Lindsay were both incredibly attentive and helpful stylists! They listened to everything I wanted in a dress and ultimately helped me find the one. ...
Will recommend Annalise to all my friends as they get engaged! Such a special and beautiful experience!
Finding my perfect dress at Annalise Bridal Boutique was the best experience ever!!! Staff was so knowledgable and helpful. They made the experience fun, easy, and delightful!
This was the first and only bridal store I visited, and I could not be happier with my experience. When I arrived, Lindsey had already pulled a bunch of dresses from my Pinterest board, and she was so helpful and knowledgeable about the differe...
nt styles I was interested in. The two hour appointment was more than enough time and I never felt rushed or pressured to make a purchase. After I found "the one," I scheduled a second appointment to bring my grandmother and future mother-in-law to see the dress before I ordered it. During that appointment, I had two other stylists, and they were just as friendly and helpful as Lindsey! Also, Annalise was incredibly flexible with scheduling that second appointment.
The bottom line is that if you are a bride in Richmond/within driving distance, just go to Annalise and don't even worry about making appointments at other stores! You will have an unbeatable experience there, and they have so many beautiful styles and designers that you can't find at other stores in the area.
My aunt and I had a wonderful experience at Annalise Bridal! Lindsey was the women who worked with me for my appointment and she was very personable. She was especially patient with me while I set my phone up to FaceTime with my Mom and Grandma...
back in New Jersey where I am from which really made me feel respected. I love that they give you a 2 hour appointment window as well because one thing I was nervous about was feeling rushed to try on as many dresses as I could and make a decision fast but I didn't feel rushed at all and I was able to make a decision with no pressure. They have a beautiful selection of gowns at this establishment and the shop is extremely clean. Definitely will recommend this shop to others!
Lindsey was the absolute best. I flew from Texas to Virginia where my mom is stationed in the military. Due to the military travel restriction at her specific base she was not able to travel to Texas to help me pick out my dream dress. I refuse...
d to go dress shopping if my mom couldn't be there. I reached out to Annalise Bridal Boutique when I got the idea, if my mom can't come to me Ill go to her and pick my dress out. I knew I wanted to try on the Tommy from Made With Love and Annalise Bridal was the only place that had these dresses. I am so thankful I ended up flying to Virginia to try on my dress, they had all the Made With Love dresses, I tried on 6-8 dresses without feeling rushed. I loved that I was able to be the only bride in the boutique. I picked out the perfect dress and I can't wait to pick it up in 8 weeks!! Thank you Lindsey for making me feel comfortable the entire time, little did you know I hate trying on clothes, but you made the entire process something I will forever cherish and I am so thankful I was able to have my mama with me!
I enjoyed everything about Annalise Bridal. They were easy to work with, accommodating, and had the perfect dress for me. Paired with this - a lot of my friends have found their dress there and also had the same glowing recommendations! I'd enc...
ourage everyone to schedule an appointment here to try on their beautiful dresses. My gut is that you will probably find your one!
Annalise was the very first place I went to try on wedding dresses! The boutique is quaint and intimate with beautiful chandeliers and spacious dressing rooms. As soon as we came in, Hannah had five initial dresses displayed that that fit my vi...
sion and preferences. As we tried each dress on, Hannah was very knowledgeable/flexible in pulling various styles until we found our favorites. Hannah was so sweet, helpful, and professional. She even remembered the names of my guests and involved them in the experience :) Another good thing to note is that the boutique is very COVID-conscious to ensure all guests and employees are safe during the process <3 There is 2 hour parking right in front of the store, you can pay via the Richmond city parking app (easy to download). Annalise makes the bride and her guests feel comfortable, confident, and special. I recommend this boutique to anyone looking for their perfect dress.
You know how in school you could sometimes get “ extra credit” added onto your grade, for going above and beyond in some way, by doing extra work, writing additional papers, doing more projects and so forth, where even if you aced an exam with ...
a perfect score you could still get additional points added on so your final grade was better than perfect? Well that’s how I would describe my experience at Annalise, better than perfect!!! Even in this crazy Corona virus time with each of us in the shop wearing masks, the ladies of Annalise made our visit beautiful and special. Before our visit, my mom and Maid of Honor and one of my Bridesmaids had a zoom call with Annalise where possible dresses were viewed and then selected for our in-person visit to come. During our store visit we were pampered with so much thoughtful attention. The ladies of Annalise were over the top thoughtful!!! My mom couldn’t come to the shop visit so we FaceTimed her, and the ladies of Annalise were right up there next to the phone, holding up the lace on my dress so mom could see it. Even though it was hard to choose because all the dresses were gorgeous, the third dress I tried on was THE dress!!! I didn’t want to take it off and I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. Thank you again to all the lovely ladies of Annalise for making the wedding dress of my dreams become a dream come true!!!
I loved shopping at Annalise. We had the boutique to ourselves which made it even more fun and I felt like I could be super honest without being judged.
The stylists were awesome. I tried on a bunch of gowns but nothing was really working for...
me. One of the girls decided to pull a wild card which was fun to try on and a great way to reset. Almost immediately after trying on the wild card dress, I was able to make a decision and ultimately got my dress from Annalise. I really appreciated their range of selection and knowledge of the team working in store.
I went to Annalise bridal for an early morning appointment and the consultants actively listened to my wants and ideas for the perfect dress. I fell in love with one particular dress but left to go to another store as I already had an appointme...
nt. The other store was completely different and I knew i needed to go back. Annalise is such a neat boutique and has a great personalized feel. Needless to say after the second store I called and asked to come back and they stayed open for me so I could say YES to my dress!
I had such a great time at Annalise Bridal! The ladies working there are all so sweet and helpful! I appreciated that they are one of few boutiques that actually show their dress inventory online, so I had my list of try-ons beforehand! They ha...
d all my selected dresses already pulled waiting for me in the dressing room. And they were kind and professional enough to set the ones that were out of my budget aside to show and inform me pricing before putting it on. That was SO appreciated, especially for brides really trying to stick to a budget. I instantly fell in love with a blush by miss Hayley Paige gown! Lindsey the owner instantly knew what veil I love with it. And as soon as she put it on, it was a wrap! Thanks ladies, y’all are really the best in the business!
Lindsey and the entire team behind Annalise are simply amazing. I had the most wonderful experience from beginning to finish finding my wedding dress. The shop is beautiful, the dresses they carry are fabulous, and they made me feel comfortab...
le and listened to while encouraging me to make my own decision and consider options that I could not have envisioned. I never have felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and I have Annalise to thank for making that happen!
Stop your search right now!!! I travelled from DC just for this shop and could not have asked for a better experience! Initially, I selected this store for an Australian designer they stocked. Ashley was so refreshing to work with- offering gre...
at advice, listening to how I was feeling and what I liked, and NEVER once asked me to make a purchase or put any pressure. She focused on MY emotions and feelings, but was courteous and considerate of my “entourage.” She brought up pictures of the gowns in correct sizing, she clipped and held the gowns in just the right way. I cannot say enough positive, warm things about this shop and highly recommend others make an appointment asap!
I had the best experience shopping for my dress with Lindsey at Annalise Bridal! I knew I wanted a dress by Made With Love and went to look when I was visiting my mom in Richmond. The store itself is so cute with the best selection of dresses. ...
With just the two of us in the store, we felt welcomed and really got to know Lindsey which made our experience feel so personal. Even though they didn't carry the ivory version of the dress I wanted, Lindsey helped me visualize it and was so open when I wanted to try it on at another bridal boutique closer to where I live. I had such a great experience that I reached back out and ordered it from Annalise. When ordering it, we had a mix up with the price of the gown and Lindsey was so quick to reach out once she solved the issue. Cannot recommend Annalise Bridal enough!
I absolutely LOVED my experience at Annalise! I walked in super intimidated about the process, but Lindsey was kind and incredibly professional, and overall made the experience fun and low-pressure. Thanks to her expertise and her amazing inven...
tory, I found the perfect dress that was better than any dress I had ever seen before!
I had such a wonderful time picking out my wedding dress at Annalise Bridal Boutique. My mother and I loved having the entire shop to ourselves, and Katlyn did a great job making us feel at home. I wasn't 100% set on the type of gown that I wan...
ted, but Katlyn quickly got a sense for my style after I picked out a few dresses and recommended several others that she thought I would like, one of which ended up being the dress I chose! This was the first and only bridal shop I visited, and I highly recommend it to those looking for a fun, professional, and relaxing experience!
Annalise Bridal Boutique is hands down the best experience I could have ever hoped for in a bridal boutique to find my wedding dress. They have a really great Instagram presence, which is how I found them. Even though they are in Richmond and I...
am in Washington, DC, I knew that the experience I wanted was going to be found at Annalise. They were one of the only places in the surrounding area that sold Hayley Paige dresses and also happened to be having a trunk show on the day that I made my appointment. If you want an amazing experience with a private appointment, champagne while finding your dress, everyone's undivided attention, care, happiness, and unparalleled service, then this is the place for you! Lindsey and team, thank you so much for making that day so seamless and so special! I will cherish it forever!
Annalise Bridal exceeded ALL of my expectations. I truly did not expect to find the perfect dress at my very first gown shopping stop, but I did! I actually miss my dress and cannot wait til I get to try it on again. Hannah and Emily were PERFE...
CT. They were patient, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. They gave me the best experience. I love them and I love my dress!! I can't recommend Annalise Bridal more.
Annalise is a gem in downtown Richmond. The boutique is everything you'd expect and want from a Bridal store. It's beautiful and all about brides! The ladies are just as lovely. They were all helpful and ultimately, I picked a dress they pu...
lled for me. They carry trendy yet classic designers and the gowns are just indescribable. So. Many. Options. Classic, modern, dramatic, they have it all and they are always willing to customize which is fantastic. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxed experience with plenty of options.
I'm so thankful to have worked with Lindsey to find my dream dress! She helped me through the process, even after I left the shop to think about things, and was able to bring the trunk show dress back in so that I could be sure it was the one. ...
It was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to wear my gown next July! Thank you Annalise Bridal for a wonderful wedding dress experience!

t recommendations on where to get it tailored before the wedding, and then where to get it cleaned and preserved afterward. Loved working with them every step of the way!
LOVED Annalise!!! I went to Tiffany’s bridal prior and just felt Annalise had such a better selection!!! I had so many favorites at Annalise and eventually picked my perfect dress! The staff was also super helpful and knowledgeable! I also love...
d how you were the only ones in the whole store during your appointment and the bottle of champagne they provide for you and your group is obviously a plus too!
I had an amazing experience at Annalise Bridal Boutique! I had been to a few other places to try on dresses before my appointment here, and I couldn't quite find the right dress for me. Annalise Bridal had the exact style that I was looking for...
! Hannah was so helpful and creative in showing me how my dress would look in a different color, which ultimately led me to say yes to the dress! I would recommend Annalise Bridal to all soon-to-be brides!
Amazing experience finding the perfect dress for me! Lindsey and Katie did a great job making me feel comfortable, listening to what I was looking for and allowing me to find the perfect dress. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking fo...

A huge thank you to Lindsey and her staff at Annalise bridal. I ended up purchasing a Hayley Paige gown I fell in love with after seeing their post on Instagram. Lindsey was knowledgeable, warm, friendly and helpful through the whole wedding ...
dress shopping process. I would recommend Annalise bridal to any bride as they provide a first class experience!
I can't speak highly enough about Annalise Bridal! It was the most fun experience, best customer service, and the cutest shop! Everyone was so helpful and personable and made wedding dress shopping so much fun :)
I loved everything about my experience here! Walking in you can just tell you are going to have a wonderful time. You have the entire boutique to yourself for two hours, and the person who is assigned to you makes it about you and your friends/...
family. Hannah was assisting me and was incredibly helpful, I couldn't have asked for a better person! She listened to exactly what I wanted, gave recommendations about dresses and accessories I would not have thought of myself, and most importantly, pushed me to try some things that I wouldn't have. This was super important since I ended up picking one of these dresses! I can't recommend this store or the people that work there enough. My mom and I couldn't stop raving about how cool of an experience it was. You owe it to yourself to go. Thank you Hannah and Lindsey!
The girls at Annalise were fantastic to work with. They totally listened to what I was looking for and brought me options to try that I didn't even know I needed! I never would've found my dress if Lindsey hadn't pulled it in addition to what I...
picked out. She has a great eye and Hannah was so patient and nice to work with as well. Can't say enough good things!
Great selection, great customer service, and great personability. The owner seems to really have a handle on this business and know her designers well. I felt a little rushed, but that could have been just from the excitement in the room.
I went to Annalise Bridal for wedding dress research. I ended up trying on a good 12 dresses on my first visit. Within the hour, Lindsey had figured out based on my reactions and feedback exactly what I wanted...she pulled a dress that looked v...
ery sad on the hanger and was covered in dirt from a photo shoot. She assured me I had to put it on to get the full effect and voila it was the dress! I left that afternoon to think about the dress and within the week I returned, tried on 10 more dresses to be sure, and again put on THE dress very last and instantly felt happy. Lindsey was super patient, gave me her opinion when I asked for it, and didn't make me feel pressured into anything. I would 10/10 recommend this experience to any fellow bride!
I have had such a wonderful experience at the beautiful Annalise Bridal Boutique! At my first visit, I had NO idea what I might want. They were so welcoming and warm as I tried on many, many different dresses. In addition, they were super helpf...
ul, pulling additional dresses they thought I might like based on what was working for me. They were patient with me, my sisters and even my toddler niece as we discussed dresses and explored their store. I was able to narrow down my favorites to just 2 in the first visit. Upon my second visit, with even more people and 2 toddlers, they were once again patient as I looked through any new options and tried on more dresses. They were super supportive and knowledgeable about their products. Ultimately, I ended up ordering one of my original favorites, which the staff their had actually recommended! I would have missed my dream dress without them, and cannot thank them enough for making dress shopping so fun and exciting!
The ladies at Annalise are wonderful. I had already tried on a number of dresses and was feeling overwhelmed, worried I wouldn’t find the dress I was looking for. I immediately felt comfortable the moment I walked in the door and enjoyed the in...
dividualized experience of having the salon to myself. Their selection is unmatched, and I was able to find the perfect dress in my budget. Go see these ladies!
It was fantastic working with Lindsey! After having tried on a number of dresses at other stores with no luck, I was thrilled to meet Lindsey. She was patient, creative, and reassuring during my appointment. She eagerly worked with the designer...
to make sure my dress was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Annalise and Lindsey - not only is there a great selection of designer dresses, but they will do everything they can to make sure it's exactly what you want and are transparent about everything.
I had the best most relaxed experience at Annalise! My stylist Emily really listened to what I was looking for and put me in styles that checked all those boxes and would flatter me. She was also so helpful with suggestions on how we could cust...
omize the dress to make it everything I wanted! Lindsey made the ordering process so stress free and assured me that the dress would be perfect for our short turn around of 6 months! The salon is truly a dream and wish I could relive the day!
These ladies know everything about bridal gowns! So much I got two from Annalise Bridal Boutique! I can't thank Jax and Lindsey for all the help as my first dress I purchased from another bridal boutique in AZ was such a big flop. They really t...
ake their time and listen to what you want. The process was very simple and I enjoyed not feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Thank you Annalise Bridal Boutique for such an amazing experience!
Lindsey was an absolute joy to work with. She listened to my desires and made suggestions accordingly - but more importantly, she pushed me a little outside of my preconceived ideas in order to help me find my perfect dress. When you make an ap...
pointment at Annalise, you get a whole two hours in the salon to yourself, just you and your girls. This meant that my girls (one of whom studied fashion in Milan for years) got to go through the dresses and pick some out. That same bridesmaid actually found what turned out to be my dream dress.
The dress we picked out was not exactly what I wanted - in particular, the lace top was too busy, and I wanted an illusion top with a little less lace. Lindsey listened to me and made suggestions for customizations. She had wonderful ideas, and really seemed to understand my vision. Once the dress arrived, her staff took care of me and put me in contact with Fariba at Fariba’s Alterations. From there, I was able to craft the dress of my dreams. I could not be happier with how my dress turned out, and that is in large part due to Lindsey’s diligence and creativity. I definitely recommend Annalise to any bride that is looking for her dream dress!
Best experience ever! Not only was there champagne awaiting you as you walk in the door, but the sweetest, most helpful ladies! Both Emily and Jax were so uplifting and made me feel like I was right at home. Annalise was the 3rd place I had loo...
ked for wedding dresses and I am so glad I saved the best for last. Emily took into considersation every detail (including budget) of what I had invisioned for my dream dress. After trying on a few dresses, she picked a dress I had completely missed. That dress she picked for me ended up being the one I said “yes!” to as I cried my eyes out! You absolutely cannot go wrong with Annalise! I will recommend it to every bride I know!
I purchased my dress from Annalise in late January/early February. I had 5 other people with me, all drinking champagne, and the employees were very patient with them. They made sure that they had the dresses that I requested in the shop and ev...
en had one sent in from a trunk show for me to try on. The ladies here are very kind and attentive and the shop is beautiful. I ended up with a headpiece and sash from here as well!
Drove 3 hours to this boutique and I’m so glad I did! They worked with me to find my dream dress (despite my indecisiveness) and were so kind, attentive, and never made me feel rushed. All the girls are so wonderful and the boutique is beautifu...
l - do not look any further!
This was the easiest part of the whole planning process! I went with my mom last October and found two dresses I loved. Lindsay had the designer match the front of one dress with the back of another to create my perfect gown. I was planning f...
rom out of town so, when the dress wasn't ready during my first visit home, Lindsay altered her schedule so that I could have the dress fitted during my next available visit. They shop is comfortable and pretty and the service is excellent!
Annalise Bridal was the best wedding dress shopping experience I had, and not just because I found my dress there! The ladies are so sweet and helpful without being pushy at all. They will do everything they can to have the dresses you want to ...
try on available for you, they're upfront about price, and they recommended a great seamstress for alterations. It was just a wonderful and pleasant experience all around.
The women at Annalise Bridal Boutique were absolutely fantastic! First, it was so nice to have the entire shop to ourselves. My group and I were able to talk over potential dresses with ease and always had the staffs undivided attention. I trie...
d to be as clear and concise as possible when describing my dream dress and they hit the nail on the head with each one they helped me pull. This made me feel like the staff was actually listening to what I was saying, and weren’t just trying to sell me a dress. I honestly didn’t think I’d have success in finding “the one” anywhere because I’m so indecisive. But I put on my dream gown and actually had “the moment” where my eyes welled with tears. I fell in love with the back AND the front! Although it took me a few days to come back and officially say YES, Lindsey let me try on the dress one more time to solidify the best decision I’ve made so far. I never thought that wedding dress shopping would be the highlight of my journey to our big day, but the women at Annalise quickly made those moments into sweet memories. I would recommend them one hundred times over!
I found my dream dress here, the best bridal boutique in Richmond! Great selection of beautiful and modern wedding dresses! You have the whole shop to yourself when you go for an appointment. Prices tags are on the dresses so you can easily pic...
k within your budget. The girls here are a delight. They will work with you to make any possible changes/alterations to the dress. I'm very happy with my experience here.
This boutique was so amazing! I loved that my family had it all to ourselves to talk freely and have a good time together! The ladies there were WONDERFUL. They listened to everything I said and I ended up with a dress that had been pulled and ...
recommended to me by the consultant. I truly feel apart of the Annalise family.
Such an amazing experience! I have a large family and was nervous to have a big group attend with me but Lindsey and her team made it feel so relaxed and controlled. I pulled all the dresses I really liked but Lindsey ended up pulling the dress...
I chose... I couldn't have asked for a better day.
I cannot recommend Annalise Bridal enough! I felt like I needed some guidance with the kind of dresses to pull, and after stumbling over my words trying to explain my vision, the girls pulled amazing dresses that matched exactly what I’d tried ...
to explain. It was really important to me to be able to discuss my opinions of each dress freely and have some private time to talk with my mom, and Lindsey gave us the perfect amount of help combined with space to make deciding on the dress easy and stress-free. It didn’t hurt that their dress selection was seriously amazing! We were very pleasantly surprised with the reasonable prices as well. It was the perfect bridal experience!
What a beautiful bridal boutique! I had the most amazing experience finding my weddding dress here and never once felt pressured to make a decision on the spot. Lindsey helped to ensure that I was making the perfect decision and even though my ...
budget was on the low end that the dresses start she was still able to help me find the perfect dress. I highly recommend this boutique for all brides!
Thank you so much for make my appointment so special and personal. Some brides know exactly what they want but I was not one of them. You and your consultant made the experience so comfortable. I never felt rushed or pressured. You were both...
so patience. Your selection of dresses was outstanding with such variety and quality. From the pre-online consultation to the detailed explanation of the actual purchase showed your true professionalism to your craft. I would high recommend Annalise Bridal Boutique to anyone who asks.
The girls at Annalise are personal and wonderful to work with. They listen to what I was looking for and where able to help me envision how the dress would look like after alterations. They made the process easy and I’m beyond excited to wear m...
y dress next summer!
I'm an over 50 bride who is going through the motions of planning her first and only wedding. A girlfriend set up an appointment at Annalise Bridal to celebrate my engagement and my birthday. It was wonderful. Lindsey kept notes on which design...
ers I liked the most, then let me know when that designer was having a trunk show. The experience was something out of a movie. A dream bride experience. My dress is being created with my own unique design alterations, and I'm so excited. The entire experience was a total class act and I felt amazing and pampered throughout the process. I can't wait for my dress to arrive and to continue working with Lindsey to make it perfect.
My first experience with Annalise Bridal Boutique was fantastic. I think it's wonderful how they cater to brides by providing an appointment that is 1 1/2 hour long, instead of an hour, and by only allowing one bride in the shop at a time. Yet...
that is where my great experience stopped. While the dress I purchased is absolutely beautiful, it didn’t fit properly when it arrived. While some emails were exchanged to resolve the matter, ultimately I was unable to be reimbursed for any of the dress. While the shops business model is well thought out (i.e. how they cater to brides when other shops don’t) if you have issues with your dress after you’ve ordered it, since you’ve already signed a service agreement do not count on receiving any assistance. While I would not have said this after my first visit, I do not recommend any bride use this shop.
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2018
We are so sorry that Stephanie had such a bad experience, we are at a loss as to how this situation developed. We absolutely never order a gown for a bride without carefully measuring and reviewing size charts with her.
When Stephanie picked u...
p her gown she tried it on, and our appointment notes at that time indicate she was thrilled. It wasn't until almost 5 months later that we heard from her regarding a quote she received from a seamstress outside of our recommendations.
We are absolutely there to assist our brides in the appropriate way if ever an issue arises. After gathering information and considering the facts we were able to offer a solution that would help with the cost of the alterations but it was declined.
It hurts us deeply to hear the comments above. Nevertheless, we wish Stephanie the best for a wonderful wedding day and a long and happy marriage.
