Ania Collection

I LOVE Ania Collection. I am a California bride, but decided to purchase my dress in Oregon. I came across Ania Collection in my online search for bridal salons in that area. Everything was done via the telephone. There customer service was amazing. They were so helpful, kind and patient. I highly recommend them to any bride.

I'm so glad I bought my wedding dress here! The atmosphere wasn't pretentious like other bridal salons I'd been to. The staff was extremely helpful and never made me feel rushed or pressured. I live in Los Angeles, so I had them send me my gown once it came in. It arrived in perfect condition and fit beautifully!

Shopping for my dress turned out to be a lot more stressful than I imagined! I had an idea in my head that I would wear something very understated, but besides that, I really had no clue what I wanted. I swore I wouldn’t go to a bridal salon, but after several failed attempts at finding something I liked at smaller boutiques, I trudged downtown to Ania. It was everything I feared – big, huge selection, many brides flitting about, following women with armloads of dresses. I am sure my dismay showed on my face when a soft-spoken young woman came up and asked me if she could help me. I immediately told her that I didn’t think that I would find what I was after there. In a soothing and very unsales-y tone, she asked me a little bit about not only what I was looking for in a wedding dress, but what about my shape I felt comfortable with and what I did not. After a few such questions, she excused herself, and I began the daunting task of looking through the racks. Before I had gotten very far, the saleswoman returned to tell me that she had found a few dresses I might consider, and had hung them in one of the enormous dressing rooms. There were three dresses, none of which I probably would have picked for myself, but all of which were very pretty and in my price range. One of the three was “the one,” and when I sucked in my breath a little and whispered, “oh!” my expert saleswoman was right there to cinch up the waist so that it would look as though it had already been fitted. It was gorgeous, I was ecstatic, and the whole process was quick and painless. Ania is a great place not only because they have a huge selection of dresses in every conceivable style and price point, but because their knowledgeable, friendly staff take what could be an overwhelming experience and make it fun and stress free!

IF I COULD AWARD THEM ZERO STARS I WOULD.

I can't reiterate how uncomfortable my experience was at Ania Collections. From the moment I walked in the door, the place seemed to have a very negative vibe. The sales lady working with us cared more about messing with another store than helping me find a dress. All she did was complain, complain, complain. My mom and I felt so uncomfortable that they were trying to drag us into their dispute that we left halfway through the appointment.

If you want an enjoyable shopping experience, don't go to Ania Collection. You will be left with the feeling of being in the center of junior high drama.

GROW UP!!!
