Annalise Bridal is the shop of your dreams! I used to drive by their downtown location when I first graduated college and saw the beautiful dresses in the window and knew that one ...
day this would be the shop I would buy my dress from. The staff was very communicative leading up to my appointment. My actual appointment was phenomenal. Rachel is a super star with client service. She explained all the dresses and designers, included my mom and sister in the process but was truly focused on how I felt trying dresses on and listening to my feedback to pull other designers and styles. I was so comfortable the whole time and she helped me find the perfect dress! Do yourself a favor and go to Annalise Bridal!
My best friend had found her beautiful dress at Annalise Bridal a few years ago and as one of the people who got to be there in the process, she had such a wonderful experience! So...
when it came time for me to find my dress - I knew that Annalise was a MUST. Their new space at Libbie Mill is STUNNING and the perfect place to feel your very best when looking at gowns and making a big decision. My consultant (Hannah) was so welcoming, warm, and really listened to what I had shared prior to the appointment. She also pulled some other wonderful gowns. My biggest regret was not saying YES on the spot as I had another appointment that day at another boutique, so I ended up giving that a shout. I would highly recommend considering Annalise when looking for gowns and they do have a fair number of designers/price points that can be within your budget! Would 10/10 recommend making an appointment here if you're a newly engaged bride looking for a dress!
I went to so many different salons in multiple states and had the absolute best experience at Annalise! After trying on over 50 dresses they had a tough road ahead! They were super...
communicative through the whole process and had asked for dresses that I liked! I showed up with a list of dresses from designers that they had in stock. But, the dress I ended up picking was actually a dress that had been selected ahead of my visit!
They know exactly what they’re doing there and we’re so helpful! I had to think it over and even though I had to come back for a second visit, they were just as excited and enthusiastic when I said yes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Annalise Bridal Boutique is the best place I went shopping for my wedding dress! I went to 3 other stores (and made 6 different visits). Needless to say, I was getting so overwhelm...
ed that I didn’t love anything. Annalise bridal consultants went through my Pinterest based on what I like and listened to me. They made me feel so confident and I finally found the dress of my dreams! (A simple A line, which was perfect). All the ladies I spoke to / worked with were so nice and amazing! Can’t recommend them enough!
Annalise Bridal was my dream place to go wedding dress shopping! From reaching out ahead of time to figure out my experience and preferences, being incredibly welcoming the day of ...
to my friends and family, to pulling dresses that fit my vision - the team here exceeded my expectations. I am SO happy with my dress and the whole process. Would highly recommend coming here for all your wedding dress needs!
I wish I could give Annalise more than 5 stars! I worked with Katie who was amazing. She listened to all the little details, was never pushy towards a decision, was super reassuri...
ng and I never once felt rushed through my appointment. She actually pulled the dress I picked :) after my appointment, I felt concerned with the size we ordered so I reached out via email. Lindsey, the owner, was very responsive and informative regarding my concerns. She even tried the dress on herself to give her opinion! If you want a bridal shop that is personable and that will go the extra mile for you, I can't recommend Annalise enough!
I had a lovely time picking out a dress at annalise. I got to bring a group of girls and pick out gorgeous dresses to try on. I was happy to have a wide selection for my first try ...
on for bridal gowns. Additionally, Katie was helping me try dresses on and she was so very helpful. She helped me figure out what I liked and disliked to narrow down my perfect dress. She then pulled other options for me which helped me decide what was important to me. I appreciated her not pressuring me and just letting me try different types of dresses. I ended up finding the dress and was happy that it was within my budget.
I knew of Annalise Bridal before I was engaged and always hoped I would be able to find my wedding dress there. The entire experience was so magical and I loved working with Hannah...
! She really takes the time to listen to the bride to see what she likes/doesn't likes about dresses. You will not be dissapointed working with this boutique!!
It was very easy (and free for the first one) to make an appointment with Annalise. I met with Katie, who was incredibly helpful. My family and I had pulled a few dresses we liked ...
at first, and then with my style and our comments in mind, Katie ended up pulling the perfect dress! She was helpful without being too invasive and was really intent on helping me find the dress that was best for me. The staff at Annalise were also really helpful with figuring out what size I should order and gave their suggestions with transparent pricing. Overall, I would definitely recommend Annalise Bridal!

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 dress 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.
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 Richmond!
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 respectf...
ul of everyone's wishes. I went in with a designer and vague idea 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 wer...

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 her 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 knowledgeable 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 p...
revious appointments at other bridal boutiques that left me feeling 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 s...

intimate experience. Rachel was amazing!! She made me feel comfortable 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 an...
d were just so kind and fun, especially shopping mid-pandemic (Jan. 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 details. 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 fab...
ulous 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 friends. 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. Highl...

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 th...
e end of trying on all the dresses. There was absolutely NO pressure 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 fabul...
ous 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 fi...
rst 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 e...

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. Thi...
s 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 knowledge 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 t...
o be that weekend they were having a trunk show with the designer. 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 knowled...
geable 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 a...
nd 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 differences 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 l...
ike a private appointment. I was helped by Hannah who was wonderful 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 inde...
cisive as I am). I was lucky enough to have the whole boutique to 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.
