Reanna was phenomenal! We were welcomed with a warm welcome and excitement! She listened to my wants, likes, dislikes, and budget. I was able to pick out a few dresses along with Reanna picking out some as well. They had beautiful dress there. I ultimately went with a different dress that I found, but the experience and quality of dresses was the best. Thank you so much for your help!

I had the best dress buying experience at Effie’s. They had a great selection of dresses. I walked away with the dress of my dreams and my family had a great experience as well. It was a stress free and no pressure environment. My dress arrived much faster than expected.

Reanna is amazing to work with! After pulling a few dresses myself that I thought I'd like, she took my feedback and pulled a few additional dresses for me to try. The first one that she recommended ended up being The One! She's so sweet, friendly, informative, and absolutely EXCELLENT at picking out the perfect dress! I recommend her & Effie's to anyone looking for a wedding dress!

I didn’t end up purchasing my dress at Effie’s, but loved how they managed the appointment. I loved that I could look around at all the dresses and tag the ones I wanted to try on. They had a large sample sale room to choose from too. Two things I wish Effie’s had were more options for ballgowns, and some smaller sizes to try on. Some other shops have one smaller and one larger size for their sample dresses. I understand there are limitations with how many dresses a shop can hold, and I think Effie’s does a great job overall with their product selection.

I cannot recommend Effie's Bridal Trunk enough to brides in the Twin Cities! I stopped in for three different appointments and experienced excellent, personalized service each time. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about dress sizing, styles, alterations, fits, and were committed to helping me find the perfect dress! They were also very accommodating to guests without taking too much focus off the bride. The day I said Yes to the Dress was one I will never forget, thanks to Effie's! :)

Going to Effie’s Bridal Trunk was an amazing experience! I found my dream dress here thanks to the wonderful employees. They helped me find what I was looking for and kept pulling new dresses to try on based on what styles I liked and didn’t like. I had a few appointments to try on dresses and pick up the dress I bought. I had the whole store to myself each time so it was a very relaxed experience and I didn’t feel rushed to make a decision. The selection of dresses is huge and they often have great sales going on.

sharing this review three years later because I don’t think I will ever forget how horrific of an experience I had on my wedding day because of Effie’s.
Many of my bridesmaids had their sizing done elsewhere and dresses shipped due to being out of state or far away. One of those bridesmaids showed up on my wedding day with the incorrect dress, having been shipped to her. This dress had already been altered to fit her of course. I called and they ultimately found the correct dress there and brought it to the wedding. Of course, this dress did not fit as many know, bridesmaids dresses require quite a few alterations typically so we had to make do with the incorrect dress and tried to get my maid of honor to squeeze into it to make it look like it was on purpose, and the bridesmaid who got the wrong dress wore the dress that my maid of honor originally had (the correct one). So ultimately only the maid of honor was in something different.
They then asked for the incorrect dress back. I feel so sorry for the bridesmaid who was given that dress as it most likely did not fit as it had again, been altered and worn already.
I cannot believe that someone could possibly send the wrong dress… it’s obviously crucial to be checking style numbers when you’re dealing with dresses all day that all look similar. I will never forget this experience.

Loved my experience at Effie's! I appreciated that it was a small setting where my friends, family, and I could browse dresses without pressure. Reanna was helpful going through options, finding the veil, making sure I saw the dress in natural light, and then popping the bubbly after saying, "Yes!"

Reanna was a true pleasure to work with! I didn't like any of the dresses that I pulled, and she was the one to suggest the dress that I fell in love with and bought - she was beyond helpful. She was respectful of my budget, timeline restraints and insecurities, and the boutique is beautiful, clean and organized. It was a wonderful experience.

I'd highly recommend any bride-to-be to find their perfect dress at Effie's. There are so many styles and dresses for any price point. I was able to find my dress within the first/only wedding dress appointment. I feel so bad I can't remember the name of the consultant as I got my dress last year, but I remember having a very good experience overall. I explained to her my vision, style and then we went on a mission for me to try as many dresses as possible in 1 hour. And of course, the last one was 'the-one'. I felt so gorgeous wearing it on my wedding day. Thank you, Effie's!

Should say outside & on website that you NEED an appointment even if you just want to look over bridesmaid dresses.
Sounded like there was plenty of employees in an empty store for no such advertising that appointment is mandatory.

I'm so grateful for Effie's Bridal Trunk and Reanna's knowledge and professionalism. I had no idea that I would have found my dress in just an hour of looking. Finding the right size, style and fit was so easy because she had my vision in her mind before I even showed up for my appointment. The dress she had 1st picked for me ended up being the dress I bought. It was a great experience. If you are looking for a gorgeous dress and an experienced eye to help find the perfect dress for your big day!? I highly recommend Effie's Bridal Trunk.

We entered the boutique and were met with a very beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. My sister’s bridal consultant (if memory serves) was Paige and she did a wonderful job guiding us through the appointment. We only found out later that it was her first solo consultation and we never would have guessed due to her professionalism. She listened well to the bride’s preferences and really cared about finding the right fit for the bride’s vision. We walked away without a dress but we so appreciated Paige’s kindness and attention to us.
