I had THE BEST experience shopping for my wedding dress at Annika. Annie was so helpful and fun to work with. I came in a little skeptical about the whole wedding dress shopping process, but she made it fun from the start. I ended up choosing a dress she picked out that I never would have imagined for myself. It is absolutely perfect and I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day! I can't recommend Annika enough!

I highly recommend Annika to future brides! My expectations were exceeded, thanks to Emma and the team. They warmly welcomed me, provided excellent service, and Emma, in particular, was kind, respectful, and helped me find the perfect dress within my budget. She understood what would suit my petite frame and boosted my confidence throughout the process. I can't express enough gratitude for the positive experience at this place!

I found my dream wedding dress at Annika Bridal and could not recommend them more! The team at Annika is incredibly professional and they take such good care of you from the moment you walk in for your first appointment. I did not know what to expect when I began the process of finding a dress, and I was a bit intimidated because I did not know much about the technical details of wedding dresses. But the women I worked with at Annika were so patient and helpful, and they knew just what to look for. I also got my veil and earrings from Annika and loved them both. HIGHLY recommend!

My whole experience at Annika Bridal was amazing! From finding my dress, to getting alterations and even day of the wedding. Day of we couldn’t find an attachment to the dress and they went out of their way to run it over to our venue just in time. I can’t thank them enough for making my day so special!

Annika Bridal was the best bridal shop we visited. From the moment you stepped in, you knew it was going to be a magical experience. They have an amazing selection, but the best part of the shop is the team you get to work with. We were lucky enough to work with Tieghan and she was the absolute sweetest! She knew immediately which dress I loved and kept coming back to, but was also patient with me trying on additional dresses to make sure I knew the one was it! She was also there for my fittings and made sure every detail was perfect! I would 10/10 recommend Annika Bridal and team for your wedding dress shopping!

Annika Bridal is by far the best bridal shop there is. They make your experience finding your wedding dress unique and special to you. I went to a few other bridal shops before visiting Annika, and nothing remotely compared.
To Jordan, thank you for helping me find my dream Galia Lahav dress. She went above and beyond in understanding my style, and the number of compliments I received on my dress was absurd. She made my experience remarkable. To Annie, thank you so much for always being there and helping me whenever I came into the shop. I always loved getting to see her when I was in! For reference, I live in Des Moines, IA, and would drive 3.5 hours one way to go there to do my pre-fits and alterations because I truly didn't trust anyone else besides them! To Esther, thank you for making my dream dress fit me perfectly. She took so much time and care while handling my dress and veil. The entire team makes you feel like family.
Thank you all for being there throughout my two-year wedding journey; you all made my dream come true. 10000/10 recommend Annika Bridal. I truly wouldn't even go into any other bridal boutiques besides here.

Annika Bridal was wonderful from the start! I had the most amazing experience finding my wedding dress and I’m so happy to have found it at Annika Bridal. They have such a beautiful selection of dresses in different styles & price points and the store itself is so beautifully decorated. It really made the experience that much more fun! I was fortunate enough to work with Rachel and she was an absolute dream to work with. She was there by my side for every appointment, including my very first appointment, my purchase appointment, and even during alterations. I also chose to have my dress altered at Annika and Esther did the most amazing job! She clearly has lots of experience but what I loved most is that she took the time to explain everything she was doing and asked all the right questions to determine what exactly needed to be altered. She also made the bustle extremely easy by numbering the buttons & loops so my mom could easily figure out which button belonged to each loop – so cool! At the end of the day, I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding dress and the entire experience at Annika. Everyone was so friendly & knowledgeable and I would 100% recommend them to all my brides-to-be out there!

I cannot say enough good things about Annika Bridal. They truly are the BEST and make you feel so special at their appointments. Working with Rachel was such a positive experience, right away she understood my vision and how I want to look on my wedding day. The dress I ended up saying yes to was the FIRST dress I tried on! I ended up going to another bridal boutique in the Twin Cities just to cover my bases and make sure there wasn’t anything else I liked. I instantly knew I had to go back to Annika and pick my dress. Rachel also picked the most beautiful veil to match the dress and ended up saving us a bit of money with it, which was an unexpected bonus! Their level of attention and customer service is unmatched. I highly recommend Annika Bridal to any bride who wants to find a dress that is not only beautiful but you feel amazing in it!

I went to a couple different places before Annika's, and it was a world of difference. It was recommended to me by my sister, and it couldn't have been better!
They had a wide selection of dresses, and a really great environment. I felt supported in trying on various options, and did not feel the pressure like I had at other boutique's, or like I was being annoying. We got to enjoy champagne, and after trying on the dresses I pulled, the consultant pulled some herself. It only took the third option for me to absolutely fall in love with one of the choices that was suggested to me, and I cannot wait to wear it in a month!! The altering process has been a breeze, and I love that I can feel confident in their seamstress. Helps take so much of the stress out of the process.
Another thing that I loved about this store was that we were allowed to pick out dresses ourselves. Some places didn't even let me peak around, but here I was able to sift through and pull dresses that I was interested in. My mom and sister-in- law came with me, and they were able to walk around to choose some dresses as well.
Can't recommend this place enough!

Annika bridal was absolutely amazing! They made the experience so fun and relaxing! They have a wide variety and it did not take me long to find the perfect dress! They were not pushy at all, but were there to help when needed. Their amazing service did not stop there, once I bought my dress they kept me updated on when it would come in and when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID they offered to store my dress for me until the following year. And their lady who does alterations, Esther, is incredible! My dress fit like a glove! So much thanks to Annika Bridal and their amazing team!

I found my perfect dress through Annika's Bridal and I cannot recommend them enough! Not only did I have an amazing experience finding my dress, but they also went above and beyond before my wedding to make sure everything was perfect. I live out of town and the tailor I used terribly butchered my alterations of my wedding dress. I got my dress back 2 weeks before my wedding and called Annika Bridal in tears not knowing what to do. They instantly got me in with their in-house tailor, there were 3 girls waiting for me when we pulled up to help with my dress and fix it. I got my dress back a couple days before the wedding and the dress looked a million times better than it did before. They quite literally saved the day! I am beyond thankful for the team at Annika and Esther, their amazing tailor!!

Annika's Bridal was great to work with. Lauren was very helpful in finding me the perfect dress, and responded to me immediately when I called. I also have to give credit and thanks to Esther, she was so sweet and an amazing seamstress. She added straps to my dress to hide my insecurities (the fat between my boobs and arms). I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, thanks to them!

Annika Bridal is a gorgeous inside and out. Their selection of beautiful romantic gowns is superb. But the girls here are so kind and helpful too. They helped me pick out the most perfect dress and made me feel like I was the most important person in the room. I also purchased my wedding earrings here and a matching bracelet. They were able to complete alterations for me as well. Seriously the best. Thank you for giving me the most perfect dress!!

I purchased my dress from Annika Bridal in October 2019 for our original August 2020 wedding, which ended up getting postponed to July 2021. I went to a few different shops, and I by far had the best experience at Annika. I came in with a vision of what I thought I wanted, but when nothing in those styles was speaking to me, our consultant, Jordan, pulled a dress off the rack that I never would've considered. That ended up being my dress! I also did my alterations through Annika and had a great experience with that too. I looked and felt incredible on my wedding day, and I'd recommend Annika for their dress selection and service to their customers.

What an experience! Wedding dress shopping can be very scary or dreaded by some brides. I was one of those brides. I personally worked with Rachel who helped me feel comfortable and confident through the whole process. She also helped me find a matching veil which we had to order. The whole process, from selecting a gown, to the fittings, to the final pick up, Annika Bridal made me feel beautiful and excited for my big day. Thank you so much!

Annika Bridal has such a fun inviting atmosphere, but what really made it stand out was the service. Teagan was my consultant and was extremely helpful! Annika Bridal was the first shop I went to, so I was really new to the process. She figured out my style preference so quickly. I found a dress I really liked except for one element--Teagan suggested a customization that turned it into my dream dress. I left without making a purchase, wanting to be sure...went to two other shops the next day and ended up coming right back to Annika Bridal to buy the dress I originally loved. I never once felt pushed or pressured to make a purchase, which was so refreshing and Teagan did a great job pulling dresses right in my budget! They also do in-house alterations, which I think is a huge plus! I would recommend Teagan and this shop to anyone beginning their search for a dress.

Had the most amazing time at Annika Bridal shopping for my wedding dress! From the very beginning they made us feel so special and welcomed us with champagne. I visited another bridal shop in the twin cities, but it didn’t even compare with the quality of dresses. Jordan was the BEST consultant and was extremely helpful and professional! Do not waste your time going anywhere else...they are the best!

Annika Bridal exceeded all my expectations and then some! Teagan and the staff were amazing to work with! They were helpful and suggestive but never pushy or sales-y. As a picky/particular bride they were nothing but kind and patient as I considered all my options. I visited them several times and sent numerous emails with specific questions and special requests and never felt like a burden.
Aside from the amazing team - the boutique is something out of a dream! What a perfect spot to find your dream dress!

I had an Amazing experience at Annika! When my mother and I walked in we were handed champagne, we had a private try on suite with Teagan! It was my first bridal store and to my luck I left with the dress of my dreams. Teagan was amazing! Due to COVID I didn’t bring my bridesmaid along but she made sure to give me the best experience by listening to my budget, style & extra details I envisioned. I truly felt like she understood what I was looking for! On top of that they are the only store to have in in-house seamstress! Which is amazing since my dress needs two more details to tie it all together for me! When I finally found the dress I loved she gave helped me style it up with accessories and the veil to really envision my day of look. I highly recommend this shop to any bride looking for a truly unique experience!!!

This was my first store I shopped at. I loved it and fell in love. It was my favorite out of all of them! I had Katrina and she found me The one right away. I said yes to the second dress I tried on. Of course I had to keep trying others but that one stuck.
I felt to go to other appointments and Annikas told me they will be here waiting for my return cause they knew :)
I give them 12/10!!

I had an incredible experience at Annika! I started out at a different bridal boutique in the Twin Cities area that didn't meet my expectations of what this day would be like. As soon as I arrived at Annika, I knew it was going to be a different type of experience. I walked in and was handed champagne, we had a private try on suite with the absolute best associate Teagan, and I left with the dress of my dreams. Teagan made me feel like a princess in every dress I tried on and even pushed me outside of my comfort zone to dresses I wouldn't normally try on. When I finally found the dress I loved she gave me that 'say yes to the dress' moment I've always dreamed of. I highly recommend this shop to any bride looking for a truly unique experience!!!

I can't even begin to explain how happy I am I chose Annika Bridal to help me find my dream dress. From the moment you walk into their gorgeous boutique, you are given the VIP treatment. Each bridal consultant takes the time to truly get to know you and better understand exactly what it is you are looking for. They are so sweet and really facilitate in you finding the dress, not them. I worked with Annie and she was absolutely amazing. Being a Covid bride presented so many unknowns and challenges, but she was there every step of the way and was going to make sure nothing got in the way of me having the dress of my dreams for my wedding. One thing that I think is so fun about Annika bridal as well is that they supply dresses made by local designers! Overall, my experience at Annika Bridal was unmatched. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for top quality service to find their dream dress!

I wish I had the experience like I read here. But I did not and since my wedding in early 2020, I've been deciding whether or not to leave a review. In the end, I decided that if I could prevent one other bride from having my experience it was worth it.
I visited Annika three or four times before purchasing my wedding dress. Each time I went in, I was told I needed to wait because they were running behind. Mind you, I felt very rushed throughout my appointments, almost like I was a hassle they needed to handle. Whenever I expressed concern about making a decision, the attendant quickly brushed it away and reminded me I was getting a deal if I choose right away.
In the end, I ordered the dress I came in envisioning - one of their long-time stock with alterations they said had been made before. I was assured two things - that the dress would come from the manufacturer with fewer layers of fabric to make the dress A-line (it was currently ballgown) and that the back of the dress would look the same just without a piece of fabric that went across the shoulders so it had a cleaner open back.
Everyone always warns about the dangers of altering a dress, but I was assured again and again by my Annika attendant it would exactly what I wanted. It wasn't.
When I got the dress, non of the fabric had been removed so it was a ballgown silhouette. When I pointed this out at my try-on in the store, one of the owners told me the attendant had been incorrect and that removing some of the underskirts is easily done, but I would need to have it done myself. We eventually worked it out that they would take it out before I took the dress home (they did not get this done and I picked up my dress with a check to pay to have someone else do it). I also noted that some of the seaming in the front of the dress was causing the fabric to stick out, causing my bust to look pointy. Finally, the back of the dress had basically been completely removed instead of just the strip of fabric at the top. Again, I was assured that changes could still be made when I scheduled a fitting.
I went with the recommended seamstress since their typical woman would be gone over the time of my wedding. I left that appointment in tears because their recommended seamstress informed me that none of the changes I wanted to make the dress look how I wanted it to look, and was assured would be easily done, were possible due to the construction of the dress. She also informed me that just to make the dress fit would be almost $1,000 - much higher than the $400-500 I was quoted at the store.
I contacted Annika telling them of the difficulty I was facing and they informed me that the seamstress must have been wrong and that I needed to bring the dress back in so they could see if the manufacturer had made a mistake. They reviewed and said that it wasn't a manufacturing mistake, but I must have misunderstood my attendant and the owner of the store. They also said they called the seamstress I went to and that I had lied about the quote I had received. I sent them a picture of the quote, but they still maintain that I am incorrect.
I ended up with three months before my wedding to find a new dress and complete alterations.

I found my dream dress here and I felt amazing throughout the entire process. Rachel was thorough and honest in the paper work, never left us with any questions, and that is important in this process! Thank you Annika Bridal for making this process so painless.

I absolutely loved my experience at Annika. I worked with Katrina who was so sweet and patient - she listened to my budget and likes/dislikes and helped me find the perfect dress. I was VERY indecisive while dress shopping (I think I came back to the store three separate times before purchasing my dress) and I never once felt pressured to buy. All of the staff were so helpful during the process, from helping me choose a veil, letting borrow a sample veil for my hair trial, and giving me advice on stain removal for the day of. I cannot recommend Annika highly enough!

The dresses at Annika are gorgeous, and the customer service is absolutely incredible. The owners are so passionate about the process of wedding dress shopping, and they personally pick out each dress in the shop. What I most appreciated was their process for helping me shop: Kate had me show her what I was thinking of when I came in, and used that to guide her choices, but also asked me to try on things that were very different than that. When I tried a dress on, she wanted to know why I liked it or didn't like it, and used that to help her picks going forward. I was convinced I was going to end up with an A-line dress and was not even considering a mermaid cut (I'm self conscious about my hips and thought I should stay away from that silhouette). Well, I ended up with a mermaid dress that I felt like an absolute princess in (and got endless compliments on). I got that perfect dress because Kate is amazing at her job, and because she was easy to trust. She made me feel comfortable enough with exploring some different options that I ended up with something completely unexpected, but absolutely perfect. I felt zero pressure to make up my mind, and they made the whole appointment feel special. You have 100% of their attention during your appointment, and they are truly there to help you make the decision that makes you happy rather than trying to make a sale. I loved that I could leave my dress there (in their climate controlled storage) until it was ready to be fitted, and they were wonderful about letting me come in again to try on my shoes and accessories with the dress to make sure everything went together.

Annika is not only one of the cutest dress shops I've been too, their customer service is phenomenal. I came into Annika as my last shop of the day feeling uneasy and unsure of which dress I was in love with from the previous two (which were some beautiful options). Rachel sat me down and was attentive to what I truly wanted in a dress - so attentive in fact, that she started pulling dresses for me based on what I had told her. Within 5 minutes, she had pulled THEE dress. My entire family cried, Annika popped some complimentary champagne, and Rachel let me just bask in the dress for a solid 30 minutes. All information pertaining to ordering, shipping, and alterations were clearly communicated which took a load of anxiety off of my chest. I am so giddy to go back when my dress arrives. Thanks so much to Rachel and the Annika team! <3

Annika is an amazing place! When I was having a dress emergency with a different company, they saved the day and helped me. I went to Annika 10 days before getting married and they helped me walk away with my dream dress! Before handing Annika any money or even making an appointment, Annie (one of the owners) was helping me to try and contact the designer of my first dress to find it and help me figure out a solution. She didn’t have to help me but she did! At that point, I wasn’t a customer, I was a stranger that was in her shop 10 months prior but remembered loving my first experience there trying on dresses after getting engaged. Not only are the owners kind and helpful, all of their staff go above and beyond. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping me through one heck of a stressful situation right before one of the biggest days in my life!
I could not have asked for better customer service and they made me feel like a beautiful bride! Absolutely amazing!

Could not have asked for a better experience finding my dress! The staff goes above beyond (special shout-out to Katrina) and they have a beautiful, unique selection of dresses. Could not recommend this place more - overall perfect dress shopping experience!

So impressed with Annika bridal! Their dresses are stunning and their staff are incredible! I walked in not really having any idea what I wanted and Katrina was able to pick out the perfect dress for me! Katrina made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in my dress! She was patient with me as I tried on different styles and was not pushy at all. I highly recommend checking this bridal shop out:)

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Annika Bridal.
I was initially drawn to Annika Bridal Boutique when I learned about their amazing VIP Experience. I loved the idea of creating a memorable day with my Village/Support System of women (my mom passed away when I was younger, so it made an otherwise emotional experience an incredibly joyous one). Several aunts, best friends, and future in-laws joined me for an incredible morning trying on the most gorgeous gowns while sipping champagne and having the shop to ourselves. Based on our previous conversation, Annie was able to pull dresses that matched my style, and I ended up saying "yes" to the very first dress I tried!
The VIP treatment didn't stop after the appointment -- Annie and Kate were incredible in walking me through the process of one of the most important investments a bride will make. They were attentive, responsive, and supportive. Additionally, they truly know their business and were able to help me make adjustments that will make me feel beautiful on our wedding day.
I wholeheartedly recommend Annika Bridal Boutique to all brides -- the experience, atmosphere and people are the best in the business.

My family and I had the best experience at Annika Bridal and loved working with Rachel! She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable! I found my perfect dress and veil with her help and cannot wait for the big day! I would highly suggest visiting the boutique!!

Let me just start by telling you my extremely coincidental experience of finding Annika Bridal. On Friday night, my mother and I met a woman at a local antique shop while looking for a square, white cake plate (which I had found nearly impossible to find). Not only did the woman tell us that she did not have one for sale at the antique shop, but she told us she would sell us the one that she did have at her other needlepoint store down the road that she used to display her work.
Through her gracious and kind rapport, she enlightened us about her daughter's upcoming nuptials and what an amazing experience they had at Annika Bridal. She urged us to call to see if we could get an appointment (remember, this is at 6 pm-ish on a Friday night). No answer at Annika Bridal, so I left a voicemail. No more than an hour or so later, I received a phone call from one of the owners, Annie, who said she loved my story of how we found her, and she said she would get us an appointment the next day with her personally! I was amazed.
Fast forward, I thought I had found my dress earlier that next day until... I went to Annika Bridal. The dresses were STUNNING. However, I tried each dress that I "thought" I wanted, and I wasn't sold. Annie listened to my wants and needs, and she ultimately wanted me to try on this gown that she suggested. Thinking that it wasn't what I wanted, I tried it on anyways. To my surprise, I LOVED it, and I brought it immediately. Annie truly listens and understands what your needs are and what will make you look beautiful and feel great in for your big day. She has so much insight, professionalism, and experience in this industry.
I could NOT be happier with my service I have received from Annika Bridal. Annie and the other staff are so kind, patient, and generous! Everyone is very repsonsive, and I feel as if I am a part of their Annika Bridal "family". You go into their shop, and you feel that you are among friends and the experience is so comfortable and fun, as if you're drinking champagne with your girlfriends playing dress-up.
I truly cannot say enough about this place. You're missing out if you do not make a stop there in your bridal gown search. The dresses are unique, superior quality, and simply does not compare to anywhere else. Best of all, the customer service is above and beyond top-notch, of any industry, let alone the bridal/wedding circuit.

Annika Bridal was able to accommodate myself & my six guests (one in wheelchair) with no issues! I was so grateful for the smoothness of my time there! Katrina helped me out by looking at my “vision pics” and helping me select dresses to try! She was with me the entire time & so knowledgeable about every dress I tried on! Surprisingly (maybe not) I said YES to the very first dress I tried on & kept coming back to that one!! I’d absolutely recommend Annika Bridal to every bride!! 💗

Annie and the team of bridal specialists at Annika are just fabulous. Annie ended up picking out my dress - they ordered a couple dresses I wanted to try on to the store before my appointment (so nice) and then after seeing what I was being drawn to, brought over a dress that I didn't want to try on at the end of my appointment. It was absolutely perfect except for the sleeves - I didn't want long sleeves in June. No problem though, because Esther, their alterations specialist is so so good. I'm not saying you'll need someone to pick out your dress for you - but the team here is so supportive, the figure out what your style is, they know dresses, and they stock excellent options. Cannot recommend them enough. The best

I found my dream dress on Pinterest and Annie and her team were able to find it and have the sample shipped to the store for me! The service was incredible and the alterations were perfect.

I fell in love with Annika Bridal as soon as I walked through the door! Jordan made the experience so fun, easy, and stress-free. She helped me try on a range of dresses until I found the exact style I liked on my body, then helped me find the perfect dress in that style. Unfortunately, I didn't have my mom and family with me on that day so didn't feel comfortable saying yes at that point. She totally understood and made me a second appointment to get the most important people in my life into the store. Jordan was just as awesome during my second appointment and gave my mom and family the same fun experience I had the first time. I was able to try the dress on that I fell in love with the first time again and was able to have the teary-eyed, Rom-Com, say yes to the dress moment with my mom and sister that I was hoping for. Thanks for everything!

Annika was the perfect fit for me. This is my second marriage and I wanted the dress to be perfect. They were patient with me and my entourage. I didn't find "the one" the first time and looked at many other salons. I ended up coming back to look just one more time. We found the perfect dress. There was no pressure to purchase and they were helpful, warm, and caring through the entire process.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience at Annika Bridal! From my very first appointment to each time I came in for alterations or emailed with multiple questions, Annie and the rest of the team was the best! They truly take care of their brides from start to finish and even follow up after the “BIG” day to make sure everything with the dress was perfect. I never hesitate to recommend Annika because of the wonderful experience I had. Any time I hear a bride gets engaged, my first recommendation is ALWAYS to get their dress at Annika. Thank you, Annika Bridal for the best experience. #ISaidYesToAnAnnikaDress

Katrina at Annika made our shopping experience truly magical, and we are so grateful to her. She was incredibly kind and patient, and truly shared our joy with us throughout the process. We are still enjoying a wedding dress shopping afterglow, in large part because the experience of choosing it with Katrina's expert help was so wonderful. Owners Kate and Annie are equally charming and lovely and have curated an incredibly beautiful selection of gowns and created a beautiful space in which we felt completely pampered. They were
also available and amazingly supportive throughout the process. They are clearly dedicated to creating an ideal shopping experience and to service. I did research and looked at every bridal salon in the Twin Cities--from list of designers carried to reviews--and Annika was our clear starting point. They far exceeded our expectations and we purchased an incredibly beautiful wedding gown.

I wish I had found Annika Bridal sooner in my dress shopping journey! The store itself is bright, clean, and creates a stress-free environment. Annie is incredibly kind and has a great sense of style. She has a warm presence that makes you feel like you've known her for a long time and there's absolutely no pressure for a sale. You can tell they honestly want you to feel beautiful and comfortable on your wedding day and will work with you until you do. I can assure you that there's something for everyone and you'll find the dress of your dreams here. I was having trouble finding a dress that was classic but memorable and she found THE ONE for me right away. They're a wonderful boutique and every time I drive by, I smile thinking about how much fun I had that day. I can't wait for my dress to arrive and continue working with the whole team there!

Get ready for a BEST IN CLASS experience at Annika Bridal. Rachel is the bridal consultant you need in your life. She picked up my style in a second, offered thoughtful input when I was in between dresses, felt like a friend I’d known for years form the get-go, and overall made our experience awesome. I never felt like she was trying to upsell me or be pushy - she truly had my personal interest at heart! I had multiple appointments for different bridal shops around MN and Annika was definitely the best of the best! It’s a must-add to your lists!

My first experience at Annika was with my girlfriend who is also a customer. We both had such a great experience with Rachel and the Annika team that it influenced me to come back to try on wedding dresses. Rachel was a delight to work with and she was so knowledgeable without pressuring me to purchase a dress I didn't like or out of my budget. When I came in to explain to her where I was having my wedding and what I was looking for, Rachel picked out a dress for my first try-on and it became THE DRESS! She knew exactly what would look good on me and it was within my budget. I had a great experience at Annika and highly recommend the Annika team to future brides!

I had the best experience at Annika bridal! Rachel went out of her way to help me find the most beautiful dress I could imagine. The experience was intimate and magical just as any future bride would hope for! Rachel even went above and beyond to arrange for an additional moment for my father and I so he could see the dress I ended up purchasing. This was the first day I had EVER tried on wedding gowns, and I left with the dress of my dreams!

Shopping at Annika was such a dreamy experience! Everything was fantastic, the atmosphere, the dresses, the well kept shop. Jordan was excellent! The girls really paid attention to what I liked and didn’t like and were very conscious of staying within my budget, which was very appreciated. It was such a fun and relaxed experience. Would recommend to all future brides! Xo

I can not say enough great things about Annika Bridal. I ended up not getting my dress from their boutique but my experience there was fantastic. I was really starting to feel the pressure to choose a dress but Annie really helped me relax. She even suggested I contact the other shop to try on another dress I was deciding between. I felt very uncomfortable at some of the other boutiques when the employees realized I wouldn't be choosing a dress from them that day. This was not the case at Annika. I truly felt they were looking out for me to make sure I felt great about the dress I chose.

I was referred to Annika by a co-worker and a friend and was super impressed with our experience. I have a hard time making decisions and loved so many of the dresses. Rachel Seppi, boutique manager, was amazing. She helped pick out dresses that fit my style and taste and made our experience wonderful. I had been to another place but didn't feel like our consultant and I hit it off. I needed some help with decisions and Rachel definitely did. She didn't talk me into or out of anything but made me confident in my decision. Another place I felt completely abandoned and didn't even have a private area to try on and show dresses to my bridesmaids/mom. At Annika, we were met with a smile and champagne, catered to the entire time, and treated like their most important customers. I definitely recommend to any bride.

The biggest mistake I made in planning my wedding was not going to Annika from the very start.
I went to Posh bridal to look for a dress, I was told that with a 6 month engagement I would have to pay an extra $400+ to order and rush ship a dress, or I could look at off the rack options. I was put options and fell in love with one of them, it ended up being a size 12 off the rack option, and was reassured multiple times, even by the manager that it would be an easy alterations process to get it tailored down to my size, which is a 0. Also, that it wouldn't cost me more than $450-500 at the most.
Well, alterations ended up costing double that and it didn't tailor well down to my size. It ended up looking like a completely different dress and the work was so awful...it looked like a lace rag.
I was so upset over the money spent and knowing that I would be wearing a butchered dress to my wedding.
A good friend suggested I visit Annika and see if they could help...I was three weeks out and it felt hopeless, but what else did I have to lose?
I met with Rachel Seppi and she performed a miracle! She helped me find a dress that could be ordered in a size closer to my own. Turns out you shouldn't order a dress more than two sizes bigger because it doesn't alter down well. she also helped get alterations started on it right away too...so with in two weeks I had a new dress and had it tailored too!
and just a bonus, the new dress was stunning and half the price of my original dress. No joke, everyone thought it looked more expensive than the original...and it was 3k less!
I am so thankful for Rachel and her honesty, she helped me feel really at ease and got me excited for my wedding day when I had been really distraught.
I can't recommend Annika enough!

Annika Bridal was an AMAZING experience and they have beautiful dresses! Everyone at the shop was super welcoming and friendly. My stylist, Rachel, was incredible as she listened to exactly what I wanted and ended up finding the dress of my dreams, all within budget! After finding THE dress, I had an appointment at another studio to try on more dresses but I honestly knew I found the one but wanted to make sure. I was never pressured to buy and Rachel even scheduled an appointment that same day to come back and try it on again (which I did) and I ultimately decided to buy the dress. On top of it, they scheduled another appointment a few weeks later so I could show my mom and future MIL who live out of town. Annika bridal went above and beyond and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for an amazing experience and beautiful dresses to try on!

OUTSTANDING ON EVERY FRONT! we can not say enough about Annika Bridal Boutique. The bridal gown selection is the best in the Twin Cities by far- cool designs from all of the top designers; the ambience/lighting made the trying-on gowns experience beautiful; the service was fun/inspiring/caring. Annie and Katie (owners) were simply the best. No other shop came even close to the experience here! Bride: Lucia Carr McKenzie. Groom: Curtis McKenzie.
