Bateau Bridal Boutique

not disappointed! Not only did they have so many dresses in my size (I’m a bigger gal) but they were respectful of my budget (2K or less). I found my perfect dress (!!!) and had a very welcoming and comfortable time while I was shopping. I would highly recommend, even if you’re just visiting!

a great job bringing beautiful dresses to Alaska and takes the time to get out to the lower 48 shows to find those amazing gowns for you to try on and wear for your wedding day. We highly recommend this bridal boutique! - Saige, A Touch of Saige Events

ford them. I asked multiple times to try on a certain dress and after the 5th time, the stylist let me try it on with a stern warning of “it’s definitely not in your size”. I was not allowed to try on sleeves that went with one dress because my arms “wouldn’t fit”. Everything was about budget too. Around 20 minutes before my appointment ended, it was a fight of trying to try on more dresses because the stylist was more concerned about the people coming in after me and the timeline. After leaving the store with nothing but tears in my eyes, my recommendation is if you do have to go to Bateau, make sure you are skinny and have a huge budget. What a waste of my time, energy, and self-confidence. Extremely disappointed but couldn’t give it 0 stars.

ream dress. They were patient, caring, and the ultimate hype team. It was perfect in every way. I had an amazing experience and it is by appointment only, so they can focus on you and what you need! I love my dress and I got so many compliments on it. Thank you all again!!

me refine my search and develop a vision for what I wanted. I really appreciated the one-on-one help and the privacy of an appointment-only boutique. The associates were great, good-humored, and totally accommodating of the fact that I really did not know what I was looking for. I ended up with a dress that I LOVE thanks to their help.

both were so accommodating, friendly and fun during the appointments with myself and my bridal party. After providing them with bridal dress inspo photos/descriptions, they helped me find my dream dress after two bridal dress try on appointments! It even happened to be a dress material that I did not even consider before stepping foot into their boutique shop. From their huge dress designer selection to their willingness to assist finding your dream gown. The girls are experts at what they do by providing thoughtful and considerate guidance. I would highly recommend Bateau Bridal Boutique for your Bridal gown, Bridesmaid gowns, or other bridal accessory needs.

it of a bridezilla moment and freaked out about the size that was ordered for me. I emailed the owner and she got back to me so quick, and made me feel totally normal about freaking out. And everything was fine! I just needed a pep talk! Please buy your dress here, everyone is so wonderful and the dresses are all so beautiful!

ever dream of helping you find and bring home "the one". I am so beyond thrilled with the experience and will recommend everyone I know to go see Tara.

ighly suggest this boutique. Start everywhere else and end here!

friend she strongly encouraged me to schedule some time with Tara at Bateau Bridal Boutique to have a true bridal experience and let me tell you, I am so thankful that I did. Bateau Bridal is welcoming and beautiful. I was beyond impressed by the unique options, delightful accessories, and price ranges. Tara was kind, supportive, and honest about styles that would flatter my frame and help me feel my best while also aligning with my budget. We tried several different styles (some dresses more than once), and I felt comfortable and un-rushed from start to my "yes to the dress," moment. Tara, thank you. You've helped me find more than a dress to wear on one of the most memorable days of my life; you've given me a bridal experience I will never forget.

ure mother-in-law) were all brought to tears, even Tara, at the moment we said "yes" to the dress. It was a beautiful moment that I will cherish forever. I wish I could go wedding dress shopping again just so I could have that whole moment again! Highly recommend Tara to any bride who wants someone to hear them, help them, and be there for them when they are having a tough time deciding on the perfect dress for them. Her focus and knowledge makes it such a seamless and fun experience.

y accommodating. I have already been recommending her to future brides, thank you Tara!

y dresses!

t up so that only one bride is there and it is all focused on her. Gowns with some of the most beautiful lace, satin, and other fabrics are displayed around the boutique, and Tara, the girl that orders them, has the best taste in bridal gowns than any of the other shops I went to. I found a couple pretty dresses in other shops, but I felt like I had to scavenge the shop to find to pretty ones. When I went through this boutique, I wanted to try on every dress I saw, and they are all very reasonably priced- super affordable! Tara helped me, and she was so helpful and patient with every dress that I wanted to try on. She helped me accessorize to get the full image of what I would look like on my wedding day, and even emailed vendors for me to find out what adjustments could be made to make my dress perfect for my big day. If you live in Alaska, or if you are just visiting, I could not recommend that you come here for your bridal gown shopping!

. She is not pushy at all and wants to make sure you really have the dress you want, I can't even count how many times they let me try on my dress before I purchased one. They have many different styles of designer gowns and some from local designers. They also have a fantastic collection of accessories. Occasionally they have trunk shows from designers where they bring in even more dresses to choose from. These are well advertised on their Facebook and Instagram. I felt pampered and beautiful when I was at the salon. This was one of the best experiences of my wedding planning!

de. Tara is incredibly sweet and very know knowledge and helpful. Her selection of dresses are unique and there is a style for every bride's taste and fit. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience!!! Thanks Tara!
