Raffine Bridal

had 3 people traveling in from out-of-state to go wedding dress shopping, Raffiné Bridal swooped in to the rescue. Raffiné was able to make arrangements to fit us into their schedule and were so sweet throughout the whole experience. Even though I found what I thought would be my ultimate choice at another salon earlier that day, I wanted to honor our appointment since Raffiné was so thoughtful in squeezing us in. Shirley was so understanding after we ended up leaving our appointment early when I couldn't stop thinking about the dress I had tried on at my appointment earlier that day. I would definitely recommend checking out Raffiné Bridal if you're in search of a wedding dress.

way that it felt like you were the only group there even though there were others shopping too. The shop was beautifully done and very clean. Overall, I would 1,000% recommend going to Raffiné Bridal.

esses here! I also got all my bridesmaids dresses, suits, and dresses for my mom and mother-in-law. Raffine is the only bridal store you need to go to. Thank you, Raffine!

way I never thought could happen. I absolutely loved my dress and am so grateful for Shirley and the Raffine team.

esses of this style and came across the wedding dress designer “All Who Wander”. Not only did the name of the designer speak to me on a soul-deep level, but so did a couple of the dress styles. When browsing their website, I found that Raffiné Bridal was the ONLY shop in the Twin Cities metro to carry these designs. I felt pretty limited in that aspect, and even more so when I found out BOTH dress styles I adored were not physically at the shop and I would have to pay to have them transported to Raffiné just so I could try them on. It was worth it, however, since I felt like no other dresses would compare anyway. Since these dresses were not carried physically at the site, the shop owner and associates were ENTHUSIASTIC for these dresses to come in and be seen in person. The excitement was palpable and made me ecstatic to try them on. Throughout the whole event, I felt incredibly pretty and unique compared to everyone else in the store. Other guests gawked at the dresses I tried on, associates walked by complimenting how beautiful and perfect the dresses looked on me. The scene felt so perfect. There was no pressure to pick any singular dress over another, which allowed me to gravitate toward whichever dress I decided upon….this ended up being the INDIA dress from All Who Wander’s 2022 wedding dress line. I can’t say enough about the dress other than literally EVERYONE complimented the dress, said it was gorgeous, the lace was over-the-top-sensational, and that they’d never seen any other dresses like it. It was also insanely comfortable, which was what I was going for with the wedding having occurred in August during the summer.

of all the staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, attentive and friendly! Thanks Nadine, you made me and my guests feel right at home!! Come here if you want the perfect bridal experience. Family owned-Jody, Jamie and Kayla are great to work with.

existing detail on the dress. They gladly called the designer to ask if they would sell the matching beaded fabric seperately. It matched perfectly and it was so nice that they went out of their way to help create my perfect dress. My bridesmaids also got their dresses at Raffine and they were beautiful! They were very kind and patient as all my bridesmaids tried on dress options and came to a decision. I highly recommend going to Raffine Bridal for your bridal dress needs!

here as well. We were able to get fabric and made ties that matched their dresses too. HIGHLY recommend this shop!

on and helped me bring my vision to a reality. I ended up going back and buying my dress the next day! It arrived within 4 months which was right in the timeframe they gave me. Highly recommend to anyone in the twin cities looking for a bridal gown!

he' dress :)

ed questions about what i liked and didn't like about the dress. She provided recommendations based off my feedback and she actually picked out the dress that I purchased! I wanted a second appointment to show my future MIL and my mom and she was more than willing to move things around on her schedule to fit us in when it worked for us. I highly recommend Raffiné Bridal: it was a great experience and I am so thankful!

try on something out of my vision I would have never found my amazing wedding dress! My one and only stop for wedding dress shopping and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!

t to fall in love with a dress in Minnesota, much less find “the dress” my first day shopping (I’m very indecisive and Raffine was only the second place I visited), but Raffine Bridal has such a beautiful selection, it was hard not to! My mom and I went during COVID and worked with the amazing stylist, Kristen. I was surprised and thankful when she let us browse the dresses on the racks and pull ones ourselves, as the other place I visited did not. This was clearly useful though because Kristen got a sense of the style I was going for and the first dress she pulled herself ended up being “the dress”! She truly is an expert and listened to me and I’m so thankful to her! I still can’t believe the first dress she pulled was my dream dress. Kristen and the rest of the staff were so friendly, helpful, and kind. It was wonderful having a piece of home (a dress I found in Minnesota) with me on my wedding day in California.

ct opposite, making me feel heard and more concerned with my happiness and satisfaction than just making a sale. Gretchen was a stellar consultant - she was able to really read my reactions and help me make a confident decision. Thank you so much Gretchen and Raffine!!

took my measurements in case I decided I did want to order a dress, so that I could just call rather than coming back in, knowing that I lived out of town and might not be able to make it back before I needed to head home.

re felt like a maze but Emily knew where everything was and helped me pick out a few to try on! Every dress I tried on was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful- but I followed my gut and found THE Dress! I felt so amazing here. I highly recommend this salon !

till they were as accommodating as they could be and very flexible each time we had to reschedule due to restrictions. My consultant was wonderful in helping me in and out of dresses, narrowing down the styles I liked, and giving me one on one advice to help me decide how I felt each time. The dress, veil and belt came in a timely fashion and there was no issues with quality. I felt like an absolute princess in my perfect wedding dress, thank you Raffine for getting me there! :)

d my family had to say. She was so sweet and patient with me as I decided which dress. I loved how one of the owners, Jody, walked around and introduced herself. Once I picked my dress Jody and Gretchen came in took my measurements and had such a wonderful talk with me about the stresses of a wedding and not to worry about my size etc. It was was overall such a wonderful experience and I will be referring everyone to go there.

s picking out my dresses didn’t listen to me. So my friend took me to Raffine’s later that week to just go take a look and see what they had and I ended up falling in love and finding my dress that day!!! I loved that I was able to walk around the shop and look at all the dresses they had to offer and pick and choose what I wanted to try on. I am obsessed with my dress and would recommend Raffine’s to anyone looking for a great experience!

I was going for right away since I had tried on so many dresses, and she found me the perfect dress!! They also referred me to the best seamstress! I just got married last week and could not have been more in love with my dress!! Thank you Kelly and Raffine Bridal!

listened to what I was looking for and was patient as I narrowed down my decision! I found the dress and I couldn’t be more excited to wear it on my wedding day!

as only the 2nd bridal shop I visited and I found the one! I would choose that dress again and the staff was very helpful, supportive, kind, knowledgeable and never pushy! My dress even arrived a little earlier than expected despite Covid (March 2020).

l loved them! Great experience overall.

ecommended a wonderful seamstress for alterations!

d dresses there, but I ended up going in to try on bridal dresses. By that point, I'd tried on 50+ dresses, and just couldn't decide. I emailed the store asking if they had certain styles in their store, and they said they did. When I arrived for my appointment, the assistant, Kelly, had already placed the dresses I had emailed about in the room! This was such a nice touch! Kelly also was very understanding about what I wanted, and helped me by taking pictures, pinning the dress in certain ways, providing veils, etc. I finally found the dress I wanted there as well! Absolutely excellent store. I'd recommend them to anyone.

oman who helped me, I believe her name was Kristen, was very very nice. They were not pushy and really listened to what I wanted and did not want. They have a beautiful shop and so many gorgeous dresses!!!

l. I also didn’t like that the sales lady was wearing a face shield instead of a mask during Covid. They aren’t as effective. Facial expressions may be useful for sales but safety comes first. I also went here with a friend who found a sample dress to buy and it turned out lovely in the end but she really should have been advised of how difficult it is to alter a dress if it is off by more than a few sizes.

sses!! ) Recommend 1,000%!

they have plenty of pretty sale dresses for much less too. I was honest about the ones I didn’t like and after trying about 5 dresses on I found the one. Emily found the perfect happy medium between all the requirements I had for style. I love my dress very much and can’t wait to see it when it comes in!

Raffine! I didn’t think that I was being too picky but looking back on it, I definitely was. I showed them many many pictures, the lace had to sit just right, no mesh, not too much volume but yet still pretty, etc. lol. They were very patient with me and gave me amazing advice, AND worked within my budget. My family is from out of town, so I wanted to narrow down to a few choices before having them come to help me, so I am so appreciative of everyone there who helped. I am referring everyone I know to them!

in to the store. When I made the appointment to try dresses on in store, I was able to send them my favorites and they pulled the dresses aside so they were ready for me to try them on. They have a BEAUTIFUL store and amazing staff, so friendly and easy to work with. I said YES to the dress here and I was able to buy it off the rack in near perfect condition.

he was so wonderful and helpful with trying on all the dresses (and with handling our larger group!). We returned again to shop for bridesmaid dresses and they were so efficient helping with each of the ladies trying on different style dresses. Our wedding was planned long distance from NC and I ended up calling multiple times to order my veil and the ties for the groomsmen over the phone. Given the pandemic hit shortly after all the dresses were ordered I was unable to travel back to MN to pick up my dress. The ladies at Raffine offered to ship me my dress and it came securely packed so I could have alterations done here to avoid travel. The ladies at Raffine go above and beyond for everyone that walks in their doors and I am so glad to have found them to help make my wedding day so special!

ress, she helped get veils, jewelry and hair pieces so I could see what everything would like like together! I ended up going to my other appointment that day and then came back because I knew it was the dress. She let me try it on again to be certain and I said yes! The whole staff was great, and Kelly was so spunky and enthusiastic without being pushy about making me feel like I had to buy one. Their prices were also very reasonable for great quality - they even have their own line now which is what I ended up getting my dress from!
