I had the absolute best experience! She was so sweet and her daughter helped a ton with pictures. She helped me the whole time with undressing and dressing. She gave me all kinds of options but kept my preferences in mind. She’s even going to see if they have dresses I may like in stock and would send it to me if I decided I wanted it. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience looking for the perfect dress!

I had the greatest time. I never knew shopping the THE dress would be so fun and so comfortable. It was no stress, (maybe because I didn’t bring any lol)

This was by far the best bridal dress appointment I’ve had!! Orainda was so attentive and persistent on taking the time and energy to truly find a dress I feel beautiful in. She was great to talk too and truly made me feel like I was the most important person in that moment. I highly recommend this shop for its vast collection of dresses and the amazing quality of care you’ll receive!

Service was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t ask for more! We weren’t rushed! I tried on a few dresses and then I tried them all on a second time to send pictures to my husband I am the mother of the bride. I wanted his opinion. They were very accommodating! They wanted my to be happy and comfortable in my gown. I highly recommend Orainda’s Bridal!

For my first experience of picking, trying on and deciding on my dream wedding I couldn’t have asked for a better place to go to. The mother and daughter team are absolutely amazing. I am so in love with my dress selection and can’t wait to see my future husband first look face.

My experience at Orainda's was so amazing, I got to try on some gorgeous dresses and it helped me to see which styles I liked and what I didn't like. Even though I was unable to purchase my dress there, I highly recommend Orainda's for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding dress!

I loved my experience at the shop!! Very personal, intimate, and not intimidating. The dresses that were pulled off the racks were such good tryons to help me figure out what I wanted. I appreciated all of the wedding tips I received during my visit and would love to visit again and recommend to other brides!! It was meant to be that the only bridal shop with an available appointment so last minute to fit my tight schedule was this one. I can't imagine having a better experience anywhere else and can't imagine going anywhere else! Thank you Orainda and daughter!

I loved my experience here! This was my very first wedding dress shopping and I had a blast. Knowing very little of fabric and style and options, I left with so much wonderful knowledge and feel more confident. Thank you Orainda for your expertise!

Orainda and her team took such great care of me in preparation for my special day. She helped me try on so many beautiful gowns and made the experience very fun. She really knows her stuff! I felt fully educated about styles and colors and sizing after my first appointment and was hands down ready to purchase a gown with her. My second appointment was such a wonderful. She made me feel welcome and totally comfortable. I was so excited to pick my dress and get the right color for my skin tone. Highly recommend to any bride as the first place you should shop!! 10 stars!

All my dress shopping expectations were exceeded straight away. Orainda took the time to get to know me and when we started pulling dresses to try on it was clear she had a solid idea of my personality and style and wanted my dress to fit my vision. She was so knowledgeable and intuitive and helped me to understand nuances with each dress so that I could get the exact details to make my dress just right. It was a lovely experience and I am so relieved and excited to have found my dress. Thank you Orainda!

For me personally, this was such a good experience, I had good input from the owner and she pulled specific dresses for me. For someone that didn't have anyone with me at my appointment, it was good to have honesty on what fit me and what did not according to style. Orainda, thank you for helping pick the perfect wedding dress! It was such a treat and she had such a beautiful selection!

Orainda made my bridal experience so magical and literally the best day ever! I was nervous at first but once I walked through the door she made me feel welcomed and special, pumping me up for the magic that was about to come! She is amazing at what she does. She made sure that all my questions were answered and had wonderful tips and information for weddings/attire in general. She went above and beyond for me. I am very thankful for the experience she gave me! Highly recommend!

Orainda - you were by far & away the kindest bridal store owner I worked with on my sprint wedding dress shopping weekend in town. I am so grateful for the time you spent with me, helping me into dresses, envisioning alterations, sharing tips & tricks to make our wedding day the smoothest & best it can be. I felt incredibly cared for & attended to. Thank you!

Orainda is INCREDIBLE!! She has so much knowledge in the small and big details of the wedding. She is the only dress appointment I made and I found a dress that was beyond my dreams. She is so kind and makes you feel like a queen. I will be recommending her to all my friends. Thank you Orainda for opening your shop and making Alaska a better place!

Our experience with Oraida was magical getting the "dress". She made is fun and memorable as the first part of the journey of the wedding and marriage. She is very proficient at knowing what the bride wants even when she does not. Very personal experience in a very important decision.

Orainda is such a sweet and caring lady to have met when picking out my wedding dress. She is very easy to talk to and truly cares about the bride. She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel important and heard as a person and as a bride. She takes her time to work with you and does not rush you. She makes time for you but also has time for others. Well worth getting to know her and visiting her boutique!

I had a whirlwind weekend of dress shopping in Anchorage and this was by far the absolute best experience I had out of all the shops I visited! She was very welcoming and made me feel at ease during the entire appointment. The store was well stocked with a wide variety of dresses and at no point during the 90 minute appointment did I feel rushed or pressured! I did end up finding my dress at another store at the end of the day but I would highly recommend booking an appointment at Orainda's because you will not find a better overall experience anywhere in Anchorage! 6/5*
