Traditions by Anna ~ Bridal Boutique

I cannot say enough good things about Traditions by Anna Bridal Boutique! They were amazing in helping me find my bridal gown and the service was truly superior to any other bridal store I went to in the triangle area (and made the experience great, even though my mother could not come with me). I worked with Anna herself, but every employee is excellent. She helped me pick a dress (and order custom changes) as well as a veil and hair comb. Everything came out so perfectly we went pack and found my mom's mother of the bride dress there. We can't wait to wear our dresses on the big day.

Just read the negative review about Emily and I'm stunned. She was my consultant and I could not have had a better experience! She was helpful without being pushy and was incredibly patient with my mom, sister and me as I had a difficult time choosing between a few different styles. She's the one that ultimately helped me select my dress (Paloma Blanca, style 4166). As far as Traditions as a whole, I would 100% recommend that brides make an appointment to try gowns on here. Their gowns are exquisite and the value and customer service cannot be beat. They even gave me a phone call out of the blue a few days ago to see how my wedding went and asked me to bring in pictures. Great...

Anna and her staff are wonderful and very kind. Anna donated jewelry for my wedding through Operation Marry Me Military. She gave me my pick of the store and I couldn't have been more excited with what she let my maid of honor and I have to wear. Since I'm not from the Raleigh area and my wedding was coming up quickly, I didn't have time to order a dress through Traditions but they still steamed and prepared my gown for me after getting to town. Anna has a beautiful store and any bride will have fun visiting.

I am absolutely SHOCKED to read reviews that are anything less than a 5! Martha (my consultant) and Anna (the owner) were absolutely wonderful to work with and I would recommend them to any of my friends in a heartbeat. We had a great experience with the entire staff - even with Maria who does the alterations. Their dress selection is fabulous and they seem to have something to fit most budgets. The classy and elegant atmosphere of their store was wonderful; what a great place to begin all of the wedding festivities!

Oh my, I can not even begin to say how thankful I was for Martha at Traditions. She pulled my dress on the first try! She knew exactly what I wanted without me being able to describe it completely. Once my dress was purchased all of the ladies were great with my alterations and questions. Maria was able to make my dress work with 3" heels and flats! Loved everyone at Traditions!

I cannot thank the ladies from Traditions by Anna enough. Each and every person helped to make my special day perfect. They urged me to try on different styles which helped me to find the perfect dress. It was a style that I didnt expect but without their help I never would have found it. They made dress shopping and all of the fitting feel so special. Maria, the in-house tailor is a miracle worker! I have never seen such flawless tailoring! My dress had multiple layers and intricate beading at the waist and had to be altered by about 4 inches and it looked absolutely perfect! Thanks again ladies! I recommend Traditions by Anna 100%

I went to Traditions in "distress" because the dress I had ordered from a different boutique still had not arrived...it was 3 months past the due date that boutique gave me. I walked in just to "look around" not expecting to be able to try anything on. When I told Jane my story about my other dress she immediately took me in, rearranged her brides for that time slot and allowed me to try on dresses. I ended up falling IN LOVE with a dress there, and I was nervous about buying because I knew I had to pay for the entire other dress as well, but how do you say no to your crying mother? Anna made sure that my dress was in on time and did not charge me a rush fee. Alterations was great. Everything about the experience was fantastic. I am so glad that I stumbled upon that dress. I received sooooo many compliments and when my other dress did come in, everyone said they were soooooo happy that I had gone to Traditions and bought that dress. I HIGHLY recommend Traditions by Anna for your wedding gown.

The best place in the WORLD to get a dress. They are the best in the business!!!

This was the first and only place I looked for a dress. The service was fantastic. I asked for minor alterations to be made, which the designer was happy to do. I worked with Tempe and Anna, both were so kind and very helpful. Anna made wonderful suggestions for a place to get my shoes dyed and a place to have my dress preserved. Their seamstress was also great...she did a great job with the final fittings and even added some jewels to my veil.

Traditions was a WONDERFUL experience from beginning to end. The people were great to work with. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was just wonderful.

Anna and her staff were a dream. They are very laid back and relaxed about the whole process. They let you pick out gowns to try on, but also make some suggestions. They let you take your time trying things on. I was buying a gown from NY, and they were so accomidating with my flights and the fittings. Also, they have a wonderful selection of dresses.

A great wedding dress boutique. All of the sales associates are extremely professional. Their seamstress is AMAZING!!!

Anna and all of her girls are wonderful!! I loved going into the store and working with all of them! I would recommend getting your dress from them. I loved all of them! HOWEVER, do not get your dress altered there. Maria was a nightware to deal with. She forgot to alter the top and then told me I lost 3 inches off my rib cage (impossible). She was supposed to put my new married initials into the lining, but typed my wrong intials. The bussle broke during the ceremony and my dress was not ready until the day before my wedding. That being said, Anna was wonderful to work with and very apologetic about the whole situation. She brought the dress to my house since Maria was running so late. Traditions is wonderful, just word to the wise ... find your own seamstress.

The best part of Traditions by Anna is Maria, the woman who does the alterations. She literally eyeballed my final alteration and didn't pin a thing and I picked it up 2 days before my ceremony and the dress fit PERFECTLY! I had a pleasant interaction with everyone at Traditions. The only difficulty I had was that I was coming from DC to get fitted and their alterations schedule was not extremely flexible so it took a lot of reorganizing my schedule to get it to work with...

I had seen many negative reviews about this shop that I was nervous about my appointment at Traditions. But I was pleasantly surprised! They have a wide selection of gown styles and various price points. By and large though, the gowns run on the traditional side (hence the name?). Tempie was a terrific saleslady. She was honest, helpful, and not pushy at all. Unlike another salon in the area, she was more than supportive with the idea of using an ivory colored gown from the bridesmaid collection as the bridal gown. When I wanted to try on dresses a 2nd time with friends, she was more than happy to accommodate. At the end of the 2nd visit, she helped narrow my sights on a dress that worked well for my body and my wallet. In the end, my dress was made by a family member. The fact that I had a hard time not buying a dress from Tempie is a testament to the great experience I had with her and the shop.

Though my dress was beautiful ('Justine' by Robert Bullock) this was the one part of my entire wedding planning that was unpleasant. When I came in, I was thrilled, but through trying on dresses I began to feel as if I were just a nuisance and Emily, might as well have had her hand out waiting for my credit card the entire time. It was just rushed, all business. I came in drenched from the rain outside and we weren't even offered water. The next time I came back there was a girl walking around with champagne! Just not friendly people! I took my business to J Majors in Charlotte!
