Anna’s Bridal is wonderful. The lady’s there are so friendly and make you feel welcomed. I went for my 2nd fitting and they did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to take it home in July!!

I had the WORST experience at this place I do not suggest this vendor to any brides unless you like wasting your time. There was literally so much wrong with this experience from the undertones in which the attendant spoke to me, the fact that she didn’t listen to anything that I was saying and above all she just didn’t seem to want to help me since I wouldn’t have fit the budget she wanted to sell at. DO NOT PAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT HERE! Not worth it.
First, I made an appointment weeks ago and provided my budget and dress size for gowns(12). I show up today for my appointment and essentially the attendant (short Indian lady) tells me all the dresses are couture (starting $3000+) and she doesn’t have much in my price range ($2000 max) but she did have something for me to try. So I decide to give it a shot.
She pulled about 4 dresses directly off the racks that are not my size and therefore will not fit. She also didn’t have samples in my size so why say you have something when you don’t?
The second dress she made me try on did fit but she wouldn’t disclose the cost of a dress and said she’ll give me a discount. I told her I didn’t like the dress and it was too much dress. She proceeded to ask how many people I was having at my wedding (50) and she said oh yeah that’s too much dress for that but with a tone that made it sound like it was too inferior for a dress like that.
Frustrated, I asked her why they didn’t call me beforehand to let me know they don’t have my size or budget. She said because people change their minds when they see the dress. Okay, but how can ANYONE pick a dress if they can’t properly try it on?
At this point I’m pissed bc my mom is only in town for a short amount of time and I just wasted what could’ve been another appointment at a different store that actually wanted to help me. She kept referring me to the Alexandria store which has “normal” dresses when she should’ve just called and reassigned my appointment to there.
I’m incredibly pissed off that I wasted time and I honestly think they don’t call to tell you so they can pocket the $50 for the appointment.
In response to the owner: yes they did refund me after begging me to try the Alexandria location and I refused to go (it’s also $35 vs $50). I was already in Bethesda why would I cross the city and fight traffic when I suppose to have an appointment there? Again, I don’t think there is an understanding that they wasted everyone’s time ESPECIALLY if their response is they don’t carry sizes in everything after asking for the size in the appointment. A size that is actually fairly common. AGAIN, why not just say we don’t have dresses here and ask to move my appointment to the other location that can serve me better? And I tried on two dresses that literally didn’t work because she was just pulling things at random, she kept reiterating how expensive everything was, and I was not offered or even provided add on pieces to try and make the dresses at least look like they fit. I was trying to give her a chance, not because I wanted to but because I already drove all the way out there. Also, if multiple people heard the conversation then why not come out and try to mediate it or state on the phone you don’t know what happened?

I just got my wedding dress at Anna's! The selection here was impressive and just what I wanted. This was just another appointment: AJ took the time to understand what I was looking for and gave me space to feel comfortable on each gown I tried on. I truly loved the experience and can't wait to continue working with them so that my dress is perfect for my wedding day

I had a wonderful experience buying my dress at Anna's Bridal. I visted first the Bethesda location, then Anna told me about a trunk show for Rosa Clara in the upcoming weeks at her Alexandria location, since that was the brand I was interested about. The team at Alexandria made me feel like a princess, specially AJ who was personally assisting me that day. I said yes to the dress that day! They ahve a beautiful collection of dresses and all her staff is very kind, professional and super efficient. Anna has a lot of knowledge of the industry and she will guide you through your choices, working with your budget.

Leeza and Jalie are fabulous! Leeza listened to me and found the perfect gown. Jalie’s alterations are impeccable. A wonderful experience - well worth the trip from Oregon!?

Im so glad I found Anna’s Bridal. The designers they have are just gorgeous and AJ was the best person to help find my perfect dress. I almost went with another dress and AJ said let’s have you try this last one on and once it was on I instantly knew this was my dress. Everyone at Anna’s bridal was so accommodating and nice and I cannot rave more about how wonderful the whole experience was. I cannot WAIT to wear my dress!!

While I could not be more excited to be a bride, I was genuinely dreading the whole, "say yes to the dress" process. My Mom, my sister and I made a few informal bridal appointments just to get a sense of what I might be looking for. I was not ready for the full trying-on experience and felt very overwhelmed by price, neckline and my ability to stay true to myself.
From the moment I walked into Anna's Bridal, AJ (and Miss Jenny) made me feel seen and heard. AJ was so patient with me as I fumbled through Pinterest boards and notes on my phone. Over the course of two visits, AJ's professionalism and lighthearted approach made me feel at home and ready to make this exciting decision. Her expertise and clear understanding of fabric, body movement and design quality helped to fill in every gap and answer every question that our first-time wedding family had!
I, like many women, am not always comfortable with my body and fit of clothing. AJ seemed to slow the whole process down and helped me to feel exactly the way I want to feel on my magical day in November! I found my dress at Anna's Bridal! -And, I also want to make it clear that I would stand by this review regardless of that outcome.
AJ is an artist! She is such a wonderful ambassador of an industry I had previously felt so unsure of. I cannot express how wonderful this process was for me in the end.
THANK YOU, AJ!

Leeza was amazing, she spent a lot of time with me looking for the perfect wedding dress (which ended up being the first one she brought me), although I tried several styles on to find out which one was the one that looks best on me. It was great seeing how much she cared, listened to what I wanted, and how many beautiful options this store has.
I chose to come here as they have wedding dresses from a designer that I really like, plus Bethesda is a great location with easy access. It was worth paying for the appointment as I received very personalized attention, and found the dress of my dreams. Will include pictures in this review after the wedding!

My experience at Anna’s Bridal was extraordinary! The staff was knowledgeable and has an eye for detail. The dress selection is also excellent. The staff plans in advance based on your preferences, and they have a customer-focused view. My experience at Anna’s Bridal was one of the best I have ever had. Thank you, AJ, Nana, and Jenny!

I came here with three friends for my first time wedding dress shopping. AJ and her team were very helpful and professional! I didn't know what I wanted, so AJ pulled several different styles for me, and pulled accessories for me to try with them and showed me how the dresses could be altered. The appointment went very smoothly and my friends and I had fun! I would definitely recommend coming here!
