What Alaska Brides Say About Anderson’s

Want to know what the experience is like before making the drive? Hear from

Alaska brides who’ve visited us.

I had the best experience with the girls at Andereson’s! My appointment flowed super well even during the Covid restrictions. My dress was the first one I tried on and Erika nailed it. She had it sitting out before even seeing mean when I put it on I felt more beautiful than I’ve ever felt before. It looked perfect for my wedding! 

– KATY –

I am still over the moon happy with my whole experience at Anderson’s Bride. I came in with my mind SET on certain styles of dresses, none of them ended up feeling right (as soon as she saw my doubt she would put me in a a new dress! Keeping the fun going) at the end and not reaaally finding the perfect one Erika brought out a dress I never would of looked at and BOOM it was a perfect fit and the dress I wore on my wedding day!!! Trust the stylists, they’re dress picking Queens!

– KARISSA –

I came in with a general idea of what style of dress I wanted. By the end, it was pretty hard to pick since they were all such beautiful dresses. Amazing selection & I’m obsessed with my dress!

– VALERIE –

Thank you!!! My experience working with you was simply the best, I can’t recommend your studio and team enough!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

=

When should I start shopping for my wedding dress?

START ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR WEDDING DATE AND HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND. ORDERING A GOWN CAN TAKE TIME, AND YOU MAY ALSO NEED TO ALLOW TIME FOR ALTERATIONS.
IF YOUR WEDDING IS COMING UP SOON, REACH OUT ANYWAY. ANDERSON’S SELLS MANY GOWNS DIRECTLY FROM ITS STORE COLLECTION, SO YOU MAY HAVE OPTIONS YOU CAN TRY ON AND PURCHASE IN PERSON.

=

How much should I budget for my wedding dress?

OUR WEDDING DRESSES AVERAGE AROUND $1400-1600, WITH MANY GOWNS AVAILABLE UNDER $1,000 AS WELL AS OPTIONS AT HIGHER PRICE POINTS. LET YOUR STYLIST KNOW WHAT YOU’RE COMFORTABLE SPENDING SO THEY CAN HELP YOU EXPLORE DRESSES THAT FIT BOTH YOUR STYLE AND YOUR BUDGET.

=

Should I buy a gown from the store collection or place a special order?

IT DEPENDS ON THE DRESS YOU LOVE AND WHEN YOU NEED IT. A GOWN FROM THE STORE COLLECTION MAY WORK WELL IF YOUR TIMELINE IS SHORT OR YOU WANT TO BUY THE ONE YOU TRIED ON. A SPECIAL ORDER MAY GIVE YOU OTHER CHOICES WHEN THERE’S ENOUGH TIME. YOUR STYLIST CAN EXPLAIN THE OPTIONS FOR A SPECIFIC GOWN BEFORE YOU DECIDE.

=

Is it worth visiting a bridal boutique if I’ve already found dresses online?

YES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE STILL FIGURING OUT WHICH STYLES FEEL GOOD ON YOU. PHOTOS CAN HELP YOU SPOT WHAT YOU LIKE, BUT TRYING ON GOWNS LETS YOU SEE HOW THEY FIT AND MOVE. BRING YOUR SAVED PICTURES TO USE THEM AS A STARTING POINT WITH YOUR STYLIST, EVEN IF YOU END UP CHOOSING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

=

What if I’m shopping for a plus-size wedding dress?

TELL THE BOUTIQUE WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO TRY WHEN YOU BOOK, INCLUDING ANY STYLES YOU HAVE SAVED. THAT WAY, THE TEAM CAN CHECK THE GOWNS AND SIZES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT.
