Annika Bridal Boutique

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!

with Teagan to find my dress and she was absolutely incredible!

uring a trunk show. Their in-house alterations was great and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

rt 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!

iting 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. Emily

l 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!

s, to alterations, to picking it up day of. Everything was simple and easy. Highly recommend

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!

ection 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!

shy 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!

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!!

s 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!

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!!

n the area.

ess! I would recommend this bridal salon to anyone, they are so friendly and helpful and truly made me feel so special! I finally got to wear my dress this weekend after postponing twice, and it was a dream on true!! Special thanks to Rachel who helped me through the entire process!

k with and my dress was ready well in advance. Highly recommend!!

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.

d 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!

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.

perience at Annika Bridal!

dal 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!

rticular 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!

ck 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!!!

d 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!!

ce and made me feel special as they helped me find the perfect dress.

sion for my big day and found the perfect wedding dress for me! If you're looking for a boutique to shop for your dream dress, you have to visit Annika Bridal!!

oon 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!!!

tment. 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!

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.

t for myself for the big day. Everything from celebrating saying yes to the dress, fittings and final touches that make the whole look come together, I highly recommend Annika Bridal for all brides!

f my dreams! The kindness, happiness, and genuine care the team at Annika has for each and every one of their brides is amazing. I am thrilled to be an Annika Bride!

is AMAZING. She listened, pulled dresses she knew I would like (even if I didn’t know it yet) stayed in my price range, and Rachel was incredibly personable. 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 can’t wait to wear my dress!

in the room! She answered all of our questions, was knowledgeable and positive, and she was genuinely interested in me and my wedding! I was so happy to find my dress at Annika!

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!

was incredible every step of the way. Their selection is unparalleled (hard to find Carolina Herrera in the Midwest!) and their customer service is phenomenal. My alterations were done perfectly and on time. We are lucky to have such an incredible bridal boutique in the Twin Cities!

nd help! They arranged alterations for a dress within a few days. The owners go out of their way to make things easy for the bride and make you feel so special - best service ever! I highly recommend purchasing a dress here - you will be in good hands.

more incredible experience! They are truly the best!

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.

ed to the store months in advance! Esther did my dress alterations through Annika Bridal as well, and she was fantastic! Thank you Annika Bridal for providing me with an amazing wedding dress- the big day was everything we could have hoped for:)

ress itself. During this time, they helped reassure me that all would be taken care of and it was! It was such a reassuring presence and I am so grateful that they were able to work with us and make our dress shopping experience memorable and special.
