Andrea's Bridal

I highly recommend Andrea’s Bridal in Portland! After a long weekend of visiting a bunch of the Portland area bridal stores looking for my perfect dress with no results, my mom and I had our last appointment of the weekend at Andrea’s. I worked with Marielle to find my perfect wedding dress, and she absolutely delivered. She was kind, patient, and truly listened to me. The store itself is beautiful and the experience was exactly what I was looking for. Marielle pulled the dress I ended up purchasing and explained that adding an insert into the sheer bodice would make it the perfect dress for me. Julia (the owner) came over and even added in this extra fabric for the seamstress at no cost, and assured me that it would absolutely meet my expectations- and it did! I cannot imagine any other dress for my wedding day- find yours at Andrea’s!

I had a perfect experience at Andrea’s- the consultant that helped me was so knowledge and chose the perfect gowns for me to try that matched what I was looking for, and I didn’t feel pressured to choose a dress at all. They were very flexible and overall it was a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend Andreas to any other brides dress shopping!

I found my dream wedding dress at Andrea's Bridall! Madison was a fabulous bridal consultant. She selected a variety of styles and made the shopping experience fun for my mom and me. Julia gave us advice for alterations, steaming, and transporting the dress.

I got my dress from Andreas in August 2022 for our June 2023 wedding, it started as just a fun trip to try dresses on and mused with me finding “the dress”! It was shipped to me in VA quickly and was just perfect on our big day!!! (Multiple of my cousins have also bought their dresses from here also!!) highly recommend!!

This group is so phenomenal! They helped me find my dream dress and then helped point me in the direction of a seamstress!

The salon is gorgeous, clean and has an absolutely massive selection! They were there to greet me and the large group of girls I brought with me. We had our own private area to try on dresses and were offered refreshments and snacks. The consultant listened to what my wants and wishes were and was patient when I kept asking to try on more because I was so indecisive. She did not push the most expensive dress on me and did not make me feel like she was just there to make a sale. The entire experience was personalized and made me feel like I was the only person there. They found me a dress that fit my budget and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.

I LOVED trying on dresses at Andreas. I was able to do some research of gowns before going and they had every style I wanted plus more!! As my appointment was wrapping my consultant Marielle, asked me if there was any more I wanted or if I was ready to say "yes". We had to leave to go to another appointment but I called the next day to say "yes"! I made a follow-up appointment and officially said "yes" to the dress! The entire process was very smooth and I even got a personalized thank you more from Marielle!

Due to difficult circumstances with a family illness, our original plan for an engagement party turned into a wedding in which we had 5 weeks to plan. I had quickly ordered a dress online from another site that just didn't fit right; I am 5"10 and most dresses are too short on me. My parents were coming up to visit for the weekend and I called Andrea's not expecting to get an appointment, but luckily they had one available. Due to the rushed timing of our wedding, we were missing out on a lot of the little moments; the bridal shower, the bachelorette, traditional dress shopping and fitting. We went to Andrea's with the idea that we would look and see what they had, but we had to buy a dress from the rack and we didn't have much hope. Andrea's was absolutely amazing. Our attendant (Morgan) was so sweet and I cannot thank her and the other staff enough; they gave my mother and I that moment we had both been dreaming about since I was a little girl. Not only did I find my DREAM dress three weeks before our wedding, it needed ZERO alterations. We were in tears. They were accommodating, positive, attentive to what kind of dress I was looking for, and being so overwhelmed by the situation they guided me based on what looked good for my body until I ultimately found my dress. They elevated an already special day and I will be recommending them to anyone looking for a dress not just for a wedding but any special occasion! Thank you so much for helping make my wedding day even more special.

got my dress here last week for my wedding in october 2023. julia was my consultant and she was absolutely amazing. she was honest, helpful, funny, and really helped me find the perfect dress!

My experience at Andrea's was more than I could have asked for. I went shopping for my dress with my Mom and Grandmother back in July 2020. I had some ideas of what I wanted, but was open to other things as well. The bridal consultant I worked with, Amy, was thorough and paid attention to detail. She was able to get me into the perfect dress for me, and even helped me make it my own with accessories. My (now) husband and his groomsmen got their tuxedos from Andreas, as well. Jill helped with the initial appointment, when my husband and I went to pick out different options. We opted for the velvet green jacket for him, while the rest of the men wore black tuxedos. Jill was super helpful in making sure the men looked top-notch. Despite all of the Covid restrictions we faced, Andreas made our experience supreme!

I can't say enough about how positive my experience at Andrea's was. I honestly credit so much of that to Morgan, who helped me find my dress and was incredibly patient each time I came back to Andrea's. She never once pressured me to buy a dress, and continued to help me find THE dress. It turned out that the first dress she brought out ended up being the one that I loved the most in the end. The layout is beautiful upstairs, and added to such a great experience!I highly recommend going to Andrea's if you are looking for your wedding dress.

Firstly, my sister-in-law and best friend both bought their dresses here, so I have always had a wonderful experience here. When it came time to my dress, I had already decided on wearing my grandmothers, but I wanted to still have the salon try-on experience for the fun and also to give us an idea on how to make my dress more modern/see my body in different styles. The consultants were fantastic and the dresses were SO beautiful. This was fall of 2020, but they still let us come with 5-6 people and have champagne to still have the fun salon experience! After that, they also even allowed us come back in with my grandmother's dress and we got the Consultant's ideas on how to make it fit me better (that's when we added the belt)! We tried with different bras, petticoats and just got her feedback, it was amazing. They also have bridesmaid dress options and discounts on them if you buy the wedding dress through them. They also helped my mom in finding a good mother-of-the-bride dress! I love this salon and recommend them to all of my friends and anyone that asks and highly recommend for any dress needs!

Andrea's Bridal was one of the first places I went in our wedding planning journey and I always felt excited to return. My initial contact was with Morgan, who helped me to pick out my dream wedding dress. She provided me with many dress options without overwhelming me and still keeping my dress vision in mind. A few months later, Morgan helped my bridesmaids select beautiful navy gowns. She helped each girl select a dress that she would feel comfortable and beautiful in. Morgan also helped my mom pick out her Mother of the Bride dress. Her enthusiasm and excitement each time we entered the store was refreshing, and I really felt like I built a great relationship with her! My husband and I also worked with Jill at Andrea's Bridal. Jill was fantastic in organizing the suits for my husband, the groomsmen, and the dads. She was great at communicating information to us, as all of our groomsmen were coming from out of state and needed to send in their measurements electronically. Andrea's also steamed my dress for me two weeks before the wedding - complimentary! The bridesmaids and the groomsmen received discounts on their dresses and suits because I purchased my dress at Andrea's - a great perk! To everyone at Andrea's - we love you and we appreciate you!

I got my dress from Andreas Bridal on a somewhat tight timeline and they were accommodating every step of the way! Everyone in the store was so nice and welcoming that it was such a wonderful experience. My mother and I drove 2 hours in order for me to try on a specific dress and it was absolutely worth it! They were so helpful in answering all our questions about getting the dress in on time and reassuring us everything would be okay - and they were right! They were happy to send swatches of the dress so we could match the men’s dress shirts to the dress. They also kept us informed every step of the way in terms of when the dress was scheduled to arrive. Once it came in they set us up with one of their seamstresses (who was incredible) and steamed my dress for the big day! I really can’t get over how kind everyone at the store was. It was so comforting and made for such a wonderful experience. You are in very good hands at Andreas!

I went there today and had a FABULOUS experience. I worked with Morgan, who did an amazing job - she checked out just a couple photos I had saved and we had a quick chat about what I was looking for and after that everything she brought me was 100% on point and within my budget. She didn’t ask for my size or take my measurements and all the gowns fit like a glove. She was excellent at her job; I left with the first gown I tried on! I cannot wait to wear my gown, I didn’t want to take it off. Highly recommend Andrea’s!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Andrea’s! I worked with Morgan at my first visit and she was so helpful and knowledgeable. I showed her a few pictures of dresses I liked and she quickly grabbed those dresses and others that were a similar style. She was so helpful talking through each dress I tried on to narrow down my top favorites. I didn’t go into the appointment expecting to find my dress but I did! When I went back in to try on my dress when it was ready to be picked up I had an appointment with Julia. She helped pick out a veil that would go well with the dress. She also helped point out certain parts of the dress I’ll want to alter, and gave specific recommendations for where to go for alterations. Working with Andrea’s was so easy and made this process of finding my wedding dress feel so special! I will be recommending them to all of my friends and family!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. First off, the atmosphere of the shop is just lovely. We were greeted and then taken to a private area with couches for my family and a dressing area for me- the whole place just feels very classy and elegant. We were offered drinks- champagne, coffee, water etc ..We opted for champagne which just set the mood for a fun time :) Morgan was our consultant and she was beyond wonderful. I was SO nervous going into my appointment. I didn’t have an exact idea of what I wanted, and I was nervous I wouldn’t find something flattering for my body type. (I’m on the curvy side- size 10 in normal dresses with a larger chest) Morgan listened to all of my likes/dislikes/concerns and picked out the most amazing line up of dresses for me. She was calm and kind and I felt very supported by her and my family who were there with me. The appointment was fun start to finish. And for the record at the end of the appointment I was almost* positive I found the one but had an appointment at blush bridal later that day. Morgan never once pressured me and was very understanding that I wasn’t ready to make a final decision. The dresses and service at blush were fine but Andreas was just superior in every way. Andreas accommodated me by squeezing me in to come back the very next day to retry on my dress and make my purchase! I can’t thank Morgan and the entire store enough.

I had gone to every dress shop in the surrounding hour and a half radius from my home, I was on the search for a cheap dress in the style I wanted, which didn't exist and I eventually increased my budget. That being said, the first time I went to Andrea's they didn't show me anything outside my budget and let me try and get seamstress quotes for off-the-rack items that were too large and would need alterations which was very respectful! I had gone back after increasing my budget and they again stayed within my new price range and we found THE DRESS! I worked with Morgan both times and didn't feel rushed or pressured into buying anything or spending more, she always recognized me and said hi on each of our several visits for pick ups/try ons of our wedding attire. We ordered the dress in my size and it not only arrived early but it didn't need any alterations other than adding a simple bustle (money saver right there!) My husband rented his suit through them as well and he noticed that all the girls were "always so happy there" which is so true- they have great customer service-- even when we went to return his suit and we realized we left it at home they were understanding--wedding brain... We would highly recommend them for dress shopping and suit rentals, the prom dresses looked gorgeous as well! We both felt so classy on our big day in our attire by Andrea's Bridal and Formal Wear.

Julia and her team are the best out there. As a plus size gal, I was scared to get undressed and into a dress in front of someone I just met. Julia made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and helped me find my dress. She chose perfect dresses for my shape and what I wanted. She took all the time in the world with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience finding my dress.

I've been to Andrea's now for the bridal section as well as bridesmaids. I absolutely love this place and strongly recommend it to anyone in the greater Portland area. It's cozy and the ladies make you feel right at home. Not a single complaint about it. They don't do alterations but they will give you a list of places to go (I recommend Hem & Veil). This is not a real big chain place so you won't get that hurry in, hurry out feel . Take your time, relax, and have fun! You're getting married!

So happy I went to Andrea's! I had Morgan as a consultant and she was amazing! Took what I said I liked about different dresses and pulled dresses with the same feel but styles I never would have though about trying on! I ended with a dress that I would never have given a 2nd look but was so beyond perfect for our day and my personality! Morgan was also my consultant for my bridesmaids dresses as well and made the process a breeze!

Andrea’s was my second stop and where I ended up buying my dress. I worked with Amy who was knowledgeable, friendly, helpfup, and patient. Once ordered, the dress came on time and the pickup process was simple. They even steamed the dress for free after I had it altered, and were able to fit me in on a tight timeline. Would definitely recommend!

My cousin recommended Andrea’s Bridal to me - and they were just as amazing as she had told me! Amy was our consultant and a dress she picked out for me based on just a few questions ended up being the one I’ll wear walking down the aisle! The process was low key, relaxing, and the perfect experience I was looking for as a bride-to-be.

My consultant was so sweet and attentive. She made sure to find exactly what I wanted (even though I went back to the first one!) she was able to tell what my style was and catered to me. My dress came in quickly and it was the most gorgeous piece of clothing I’ve ever owned. I definitely owe that to Andreas!

Andrea's Bridal was great to work with. We purchased my bridal dress, bridesmaids dresses, and my mothers dress through them. They were very attentive to us and we enjoyed our experience!

After I got engaged, the first thing I wanted to do was find a dress! But where do you even start? Pinterest? Instagram? Say Yes to the Dress? David's Bridal? A boutique? Thankfully, my cousin had an amazing experience at Andrea's Bridal and found her wedding dress here. Alison encouraged me to come visit and try on dresses. Mind you, this was more than a drive down the road to Andrea's as I live in Alabama, was planning a wedding where I grew up in Vermont, and Andrea's is clearly in Maine... talk about a multi-state affair! From the moment I called to make my appointment, I knew that this place was going to be wonderful! The team at Andrea's was so approachable, down to earth, and supportive. I worked with Amy during my visit and she listened to everything I thought I wanted and those body insecurities many of us have (hello hips!). She stuck to my respective budget, engaged with my family, and ultimately helped me find my dream dress. I felt like I had another friend in the process. As I tried on different options she carefully listened to what I liked or didn't like about each one and constructively helped me narrow down to two - one that was more of a "surprise factor," and another that was what I like to call "classically me." As I debated the pros and con's of each Amy looked at me as I stood in the dress I would ultimately pick and said, "The way you are looking at yourself in the mirror, you're smiling from the inside - you can tell you FEEL beautiful in this dress and you know you look good. With the others I could see the wheels turning in your head as you analyzed it." And so with zero pressure, I walked out having ordered a dress that I loved then, loved 6 months later when I came to get it, and 11 months later when I wore it down the aisle. I just want to put it on again and wear it now! I highly recommend visiting on a weekday if you can, because it was wonderful to almost have the place to ourselves! With my sister with me, we were able to go right from my bridal gown fitting to picking out the bridesmaid dresses without originally scheduling an appointment to do that. I also loved Julia who helped me with my fitting and find my perfect veil and then had the major undertaking of finding my mom a MOB dress. I love my mom so much and she is one of the most endearing and innocent people I know, but let's just say that she "doesn't get out a lot" and has insecurities that everyone around her thinks she shouldn't. At Andreas the MOB and Bridesmaid Dresses are located downstairs and the bridal gowns are located upstairs. Before we even walked in my mom says, "I don't want to come out in front of a lot of people when I'm trying dresses on!" (Insert palm to face emoji here...) so she asks Julia very innocently, "Can I try on my dresses up here?" (we were already upstairs for my fitting) Julia magically made it happen and long story short my mom literally purchased and fell in love with the first dress Julia brought up. The gratefulness that we feel to the Andrea's Bridal team for making the entire experience fun, memorable and magical. They ultimately enabled myself, my mom, and my sister to feel like the best and most beautiful versions of ourselves. I can only cross my fingers that my sister (hopefully soon) decides to also return to Andrea's to find a dress for her wedding day.

My favorite purchase for the wedding was my dress. Last July, I had went to a salon and bought a dress, but after some thought I realized that I didn't really LOVE it, I was just impatient and hadn't found any other dresses in my budget that fit me- a bridal size 16. In September, I booked an appointment at Andrea's Bridal to see if there was anything else out there for me. Unlike the 5 other places I had gone, Andrea's provided a laid-back, private experience for me and my fiance. (side note-bring your fiance and leave the big entourage at home, it doesn't ruin the surprise and it helps you focus on what the wedding is really about) I showed Ashley the photo of the dress I liked the most at my other salon appointments and she brought it out along with other similar dresses. We found the dress and never looked back, AND it was off the rack in my size!!! I've never seen anyone else wear my dress and it really feels like it was made for me. Looking back on my wedding photos, the dress SHINES! It fits with the decor and venue of my rustic barn wedding and hugs my curves like nobody's business! I am so grateful for what Andrea's Bridal did for me, and I highly recommend you see it for yourself!

I had a great experience shopping at Andrea’s Bridal! I worked with Julia and she started by sitting down with me to find out what I was looking for. I showed her a few photos of dresses I had tried at another shop including my “one to beat.” She knew exactly which dresses to pull and even took out my “one to beat” from the previous shop so I could compare with with my new favorite. She was not too pushy and was good about giving me some alone time with my group so we could talk. She pulled a sale dress that was discontinued (and well below my budget) so it was clear that her top priority was not making the largest sale possible. This dress ended up being the one!

Everyone at Andreas and his and hers were lovely to work with. I found the perfect dress with a great recommendation for alterations and my husband rented the perfect tux for our day!

Morgan was my bridal consultant and was the cutest and sweetest person! I wasn't exactly sure how to describe the dress I wanted but with some of the language I could think of, she knew exactly what I wanted. She pulled out dresses that were exactly the style I wanted. I even ended up purchasing my dress after that day! The salon is really pretty and when you make an appointment they really make the focus all on the bride. Thanks for everything!

I think I went to every bridal salon in New England searching for a unique dress that felt like me. I can honestly say, Andreas Bridal was the only salon that I felt completely comfortable at. I worked with Ashley and I was sold on her before we even found my dress. I just knew that she would be able to find the one I was looking for, and she did! She seemed to just get me and saw my vision right away. It took more than one trip to Andreas, but as new dresses came in, she kept my vision in mind and pulled dresses that were unique and beautiful, and it was hard to choose just one. She was honest, kind, attentive, and supportive. She was the only bridal consultant that I worked with (and there were many) who actually made me feel like she was 100% supportive of what I wanted and committed to finding it. The inventory at Andreas was exactly as I had hoped; clean, organized, beautiful, unique and constantly changing. The store is welcoming, well kept, and all of the consultants were very friendly.

Prior to visiting, I was nervous to go to a salon because I had such a rotten experience at a Portsmouth, NH salon that everyone else raves about... I was so pleasantly surprised and happy with my appointment yesterday with Ashley at Andrea's-- she did an amazing job finding my wedding dress. I know it sounds corny, but I honestly felt like I had my best friend with me because Ashley just "got me" so well. She pulled 8 dresses and I loved every one she pulled-- it was honestly challenging narrowing it down. She had me try on all 8, which I really liked as it made me feel confident in my final decision. She even at one point encouraged me to purchase a sample dress, which I think shows her commitment to my happiness and not her own sale-- I went with another dress she pulled that wasn't a sample, but still appreciated her thought. She was very clear through the payment process and even helped me get the best price. Ashley also circled which seamstress she recommends and recommended I book it ASAP to ensure I get in with the best for June. I will recommend this salon and Ashley to everyone! I plan to return for bridesmaid dresses and suit rental for the groomsmen.

Had the BEST experience at Andreas bridal. Julia was SO helpful and knowledgeable about all of the dresses. She helped me pick the perfect dress and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable!! So many options. Loved the atmosphere and having our own space to try on without being near other guests. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for wedding dresses!!!!

Jill helped me find the perfect dress! She made me feel comfortable and was a great help. I went to one other place and they had some cute dresses but honestly it came down to service. Andrea's bridal is THE pace to get a dress.

I shopped at Andrea’s a few times while planning my wedding; once at their sample sale, a more formal appointment to find my wedding dress after I didn’t find anything at the sample sale, and once for my bridesmaids’ dresses. Each appointment was everything I could have asked for and more! I cannot remember the name of the attendant at the sample sale but for a day that must be incredibly crazy for them, she worked tirelessly to find something that I would like. I didn’t find anything that day (mostly because I hadn’t had a chance to see their whole selection of dresses yet and I just couldn’t commit without trying EVERYTHING on!), so I made another appointment and Amy was so incredibly helpful and just got what I was looking for. She let me go through all the photos I had saved- some from Andreas’ website, some not- and she told me which ones were in my budget and if they weren’t, she tried to find something similar. I loved so many dresses she picked out for me, but there was one I had saved a few times without realizing it and once I tried that one on, I knew! Amy was so helpful and made the experience so much fun, and we were so excited she was the one helping us pick out bridesmaid dresses as well, which went just as smoothly. She helped us come up with a great color scheme since I wasn’t a fan of all the same color bridesmaid dresses and they looked absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Andrea’s to anyone looking for their bridal gown!

Amy at Andreas was a DREAM to work with while I searched for my wedding gown. I probably went 6 or 8 times but she was always patient, never pushy, and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. She helped steer me towards The One after my style preference changed a time or two (or twelve!) along the way. Thank you, Amy, for helping me find the dress of my dreams. I’m not the type of girl who had a picture in her head of a dream dress, but Amy worked magic along the way to help me get there. She found me the dress I went with as just “one more to try” after I though I’d found The One, and I’m so glad she did!

I went here for my wedding dress and was so shocked at how amazing my experience was. It was almost too easy which I was not expecting. I had Amy who ended up finding the perfect dress for me. It was something I would have never picked out! We went back a few months later for bridesmaid dresses and had Amy again. She was incredible yet again. They make the experience very personable and you definitely don't get that everywhere, trust me I tried another store.

I wasnt even planning on purchasing a dress! I altered my moms gown to fit me and the staff at Andrea's let me schedule an appointment to show my mom- even after trying on their dresses. My mom and grandmother convinced me to buy a dress that shared a name with my (now) husband, and the staff was so helpful along the way. They coordinated all the bridesmaid dresses and are very reasonably priced. We had a great time shopping and got exactly what we wanted from this experience.

Julia was awesome! She listened to my thoughts on every dress and got me closer and closer until I found the one! And even when I wanted to try one more after the one... and then go back to the one -- she was super patient and more than happy to let me retry so that I was confident in my choice! Every time I call the girls are super helpful and go out of their way to make me feel appreciated and they always have the answers to all my questions!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I got everything from my bridal gown to bridesmaid dresses and MOB dress here. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Ashley helped me with my wedding gown and was super helpful! I got so many compliments on how beautiful all the dresses were. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

I would definitely recommend Andrea's Bridal! They are truly amazing! Going into the store it is easy to feel overwhelmed by all the beautiful dresses but my consultant, Amy, made it easy. Even after only knowing me for a few minutes she knew my style and what I was looking for. She helped me find the perfect dress! Every time I stopped by to the store, she would greet me with a friendly smile. It was so nice! After going to David's Bridal, I knew I had to get my dress at Andrea's Bridal. The quality and care far exceeds others stores. I am really happy that I got my dress here. One thing that can be tricky about this store is that they do not have a lot of appointments open on the weekend. It wasn't that much of a problem for me because of my work schedule but it is something to consider when booking appointments. They also do not do tailoring here but they did give me a list of tailors around the are. On that list I found a tailor that was great and very knowledgeable. Overall, I loved my dress and my experience at Andrea's Bridal!

Best place! Service was amazing and they were great at finding options to try. Was so happy with my dress and when I went to pick it up tried options for a veil. Didn’t plan on getting one but one of the girls brought options to try and I fell in love. Whole outfit was perfect! Highly recommend.

As a plus-size bride this is what I was most nervous about. There was a huge selection of dresses that I could try in all shapes and styles. I worked with Morgan and she picked a dress I would have never pulled off the rack myself but it was absolutely THE dress. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The experience picking my gown at Andrea’s was amazing. I was quite nervous going in, but that was quickly eased. I showed Ashley some pictures of what I liked online and she was quick to find them. With only 4 months until my wedding, I’m so thankful Ashley was willing to look at each dress on their system before letting me try on (and love) a dress that wouldn’t be available for my wedding. The care she took to find out and make sure a dress would be available made me feel better. After the third dress, I was in love, but wasn’t discouraged when I wanted to try a few more, “just in case.” I ended up finding and falling in love with my dress and I’m so thankful I chose Andrea’s for the dress I’m going to wear when I marry my best friend!

I had an amazing experience at Andrea's! The dresses were beautiful, and they really made me feel comfortable and beautiful. They had a great way of selecting dresses and helping me eliminate ones in order to narrow down the choices. I would highly recommend anyone going to Andrea's!

Andrea's Bridal was amazing. I visited years ago as my MOH got her wedding dress there and I remembered it being a great experience so it was my first choice when looking for a dress. It's still early on in the planning for me and I went in having no idea of what I wanted. I gave Julia a few ideas and let her guide me into what she thought would fit my body type the best. After all, they are the experts. I must say I ended up with a strapless dress which I never thought would happen but I trusted her guidance and it paid off! All of the dresses were gorgeous but this one was it. I wasn't expecting to find a dress the first day out, let a long buy one. Julia made me feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. It felt like we were old friends and I can't thank her enough for her guidance. She went above and beyond to help me find the dress. My wedding party and both moms will be getting their dresses here. I can't rave enough about what a positive experience it was all around. Thank you Julia! Thank you Andreas!

I LOVE Andrea's Bridal. Morgan was amazing, she knew how to pull dresses that I would absolutely love, and push me a little bit to try on a few outside of what I had in mind. I made the mistake of going to a really fancy bridal salon first, thinking it would be better, but my budget did not match, and so they didn't have a ton of selection for me. My experience at Andrea's was just as amazing, they actually had sample sizes that fit me, and a ton of dresses in my price point. I couldn't recommend it more

Andrea's Bridal gave incredible service!! Owner Julia provided one on one support, insight and ideas. She was fun, positive, upbeat and above all else, professional. My dress was perfect , Julia recommended a sash that made the whole dress POP! They are so focussed on you, never rushing you or forcing you into a decision. The atmosphere is a relaxing and inviting space and ALL the employees i encountered were so helpful. My dress was under budget and beautiful! I was dreading wedding dress shopping and they made the experience such a positive one! Thank you Andrea's Bridal.

They made me feel like a princess the whole time I was there!!!

Excellent service! We had a great time and I was able to find my dream dress and bridesmaid dresses with the help of Jill!

Andreas is AWESOME!!

Andrea's bridal and all of the women there are amazing! Ashley was my consultant and she was both competent and welcoming. She humored my mom and my girlfriends all the while keeping in mind what I wanted. I was not an easy bride because I did not have any specific design in mind and I liked everything that I put on. She was so knowledgeable, and she was very helpful without being pushy. All of the dresses she pulled were unique and gorgeous. It was so hard to decide! The ladies gave me recommendations for tailors and were all very supportive throughout the whole process. Morgan was also helpful and accommodating as well - answering any questions I had along the way. I would tell anyone near Portland to check out Andrea's Bridal for not only the amazing selection of dresses, but for the customer service as well.

My experience with Andrea's was great. I went once last year and then again this year for bridal dress shopping. The second time, I was very specific with what I was looking for. Morgan was was easy to work with and truly listened to what I said I wanted to try on. Only 8 dresses later, I found the one! The staff is friendly and fun. I highly recommend Andrea's for ladies looking in the southern Maine area.

I had the BEST experience picking out my wedding dress at Andrea's Bridal!! Caitlin was a rockstar helping me in the process! I highly recommend them to any new brides looking for a great experience!

Everything about my experience at Andrea's Bridal was amazing from beginning to end! Every employee I came into contact with was so kind and helpful, and every dress I tried on was GORGEOUS. The consultant I worked with sat down with me and really listened to what I envisioned myself wearing on my big day. Amy made my dreams a reality when she found my stunning lace gown!! The whole process was so fun and easy, and I really felt special during my appointment. I wasn't rushed and I could tell the ladies there truly love helping each and every bride. I highly recommend Andrea's Bridal if you want that dream come true bridal shopping experience! (We also shopped at their sister store His and Hers for all of the suits for the men and that was just as amazing!)

I never wanted a big wedding, but my husband on the other hand, wanted the biggest barn wedding on the planet. so after we had the discussion of when and where, I figured I should probably look into buying a dress. I went to a bridal shop in the mall and was treated less then human (because of my bidget) and all but gave up on finding "that dress." My maid of honor saw my frustration with the hole ordeal and recommended another trip, but this time to Andrea's bridal. My constant I had for the day was absolutely amazing. Period, end of story. She took my budget and delivered the dress of my dreams. She was patent with my indecisiveness and made me feel beautiful. I will and have recommended Andrea's bridal to all my bride to be friends. If you want a place to find the dress of your dreams AND have the best time with the best people to find it, than Andrea's is the place!

Hands down the best shopping experience! The staff is warm and welcoming, the store itself is immaculate, and the options are never ending! I had no idea what I was looking for, but Julia and her girls helped me find a dress that was so true to my personality (and under budget). Henrietta measured me for my dress, which fits me like a glove. The only alteration I needed was to add a bustle, and (of course) the seamstress was a stones throw away and recommended by Andrea's. Julia also helped my bridesmaids pick their perfect dresses to accent my gown! It is so refreshing to see a store owner work directly with customers and staff. These girls truly care about each individual bride and provide an unrivaled experience!

Andrea's Bridal was awesome. Patient and honest. They have a huge selection of dresses! In my opinion, the only place in Maine to buy a wedding gown!

Andrea's Bridal gave me exactly the experience I was looking for when searching for my wedding dress! After having a not so great appointment at a larger chain bridal salon, I was a bit nervous for my next appointment. My consultant at Andrea's, Julie, was absolutely fantastic! She made me feel comfortable from the beginning and really listened to what I was looking for in a dress. The salon had all of the dresses on their website in the store, so anything I had seen online and liked I was able to try on that day. My overall experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend this salon to anyone searching for their dream gown.

Andrea's Bridal is awesome. The staff is so welcoming and nice. They are really great at finding what you want and what fits you best. My dress came in so fast and the only thing I needed to have altered was the length, and added a bussell - which is typical. I was so happy in my dress!

Such a great experience. The one and only bridal salon I went to and I am so happy I went here first. They are reasonably priced and have such great service. I always felt comfortable and never pressured. Amy listened to what I wanted for my dress and put that together with her expertise to find what dress would look best on me and with that I found my dream dress that I got to wear on my wedding day.

Ashley helped me find the perfect wedding dress! I told her a little bit about what I envisioned and she went to pick out dresses for me. The dress I ended up buying was actually the first one I put on! She knew exactly what I was looking for. She also put me in several silhouettes just to see how I looked in them and was very patient when I was making my decision. I actually decided not to buy the dress the day of my appointment and she very understanding and did not pressure me into making a decision or make me feel like I had to get one that day. I really appreciated that she wanted me to find the perfect dress, and not just make a sale. She took my measurements and told me to just call if I decided on this dress and they would already have all the paperwork ready. I did eventually decide to go with the first dress and the ordering process went smoothly and the dress showed up with plenty of time to get altered.

Can't say enough good things about this place! My MOH and I were here last weekend and found her perfect dress before the appointment started! The entire staff was accommodating and so welcoming. Not only did we find her dress, but it was also in the "have to take it home today" section -- couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our girl was also so honest which I really appreciated -- told me her opinions about my flower girls and shared some tips. Thank you, Andrea's for making my experience so amazing!!!

I HIGHLY recommend that all brides go here to find their dress and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. I put off scheduling my appointment for months because I was nervous about the whole process and uncomfortable with my weight but I wish I hadn't! Ashley is the absolute BEST and she made this experience truly wonderful. I showed her a couple pictures when I first got there and she knew right away exactly what I was looking for and was very careful to stay within my budget. She was so friendly and accommodating and supportive and there was NO pressure at all. I went back a second time and decided to try a different style of dresses and after showing her one picture she knew exactly what dress I wanted and it turned out to be the one :) I can't thank you (especially Ashley!!) enough for giving me the best experience and I will recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you!!!!

The owner Julia and the staff at Andrea's are amazing. All of my bridesmaids dress were order way too big. Julia got them in the correct dresses and even opened the shop on a day they were closed for us. I would recommend Andrea's bridal to any one and everyone that looking for a dress

I had a few mishaps with not only my dress but my head piece. The buttons on the back of my very expensive gown fell off which was the designers fault for making them so dainty, not the shops. An employee accidentally sold me a head piece that was the display piece and was broken. Both were taken care of immediately by the owner who was amazing at making things right. She was so apologetic and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the store. I got a brand new head piece mailed to me and the owner payed to have my buttons reinforced. I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day and had gasps walking down the aisle. The dress and head piece were stunning as is their entire selection of gowns, veils, head pieces, and shoes. Highly recommend.

Andreas did a great job helping me find my wedding dress! I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but they convinced me to try on a dress I didn't think I would like and it ended up being the one! I had previously tried on dresses at a few other stores and this was the best experience by far. I was planning my wedding from North Carolina, so I wasn't able to do things (alterations, steam pressing, etc.) right on schedule but they were super flexible and got everything done on time so I didn't have to stress at all! Everyone who works there is very nice and helpful - I would highly recommend looking for your wedding dress at Andreas!

I can't express how much I loved working with everyone I encountered at Andrea's!! They were so kind, professional and amazing at every aspect. They helped me pick out the dress of my dreams with ease with NO high pressure sales. They truly want the best for all their clients. If you live in Maine--you HAVE to get your dress at Andrea's!!

I went here for my bridesmaid dresses and the staff was incredible to work for. Our stylist made all of the girls feel very comfortable and was very helpful in picking the dresses especially since one of my bridesmaids was going to be pregnant for the wedding. They were all full of suggestions and really helped us find the perfect dresses for the big day!

I visited Andrea's in December to find my dress and had great service! I surprised myself by picking a strapless dress, as I dont think they look good on a lot of people. I was assured that the dress I had picked, when tailored correctly, wouldn't create "back-boob." I visited the tailor they had suggested, Bette in Saco, and back-boob was exactly what I got.... I had ordered the dress in a size 14, and was about a size 10 when going to my fittings... Julia, the owner of Andrea's offered to go back to the seamstress with me to get it fixed. I didn't have the time to take her up on this, as I was getting married two days later. Long story short, great place to buy your dress, great service, but double check that you have enough time with the seamstress and read reviews!

Andrea's staff was always super nice, helpful and fun to work with. I must have came back about 20 times in total to deliberate between dresses before my consultant Jill (very nicely) told me what I was already thinking and guided me to the dress of my dreams. If you're looking for a price range that's under 500$ then no, this isn't for you, but you get the dress you pay for and even my seamstress kept oohing and aahing over the quality of my gown .

Andrea's was the perfect place to feel comfortable and welcome in choosing a wedding dress. The personal touches of a private space and one-on-one assistance makes the visit that much more enjoyable. Julia and her crew are full of compliments, well wishes, and good advice for moving through the bridal gown process. Their validation for how I already felt in the gown I chose made me that much more confident! I cannot thank you enough! -Shelby

Ashley at Andrea's Bridal was the absolute best. I had been many other places and hadn't had any luck, nor great service. Ashley was so kind, understanding about 2 body image worries I had and honored my budget. She truly knew her stuff and found me THE dress, first pick. I am going to tell everyone I know to go see her. The dress was perfect and I was so grateful for her help in fitting and styling (earrings, halo head piece etc.) Thank you Ashley!!

Where do I begin?! Julia was phenomenal! She helped me find the style I was looking for and was no just there for a sale! She really listens to what brides are looking for, and throws a couple curve balls in there. If I ever need a formal dress again, I would not step into any other shop. Both she and her staff are extremely knowledgeable, and friendly.

I had a FANTASTIC experience at Andrea's!! I had been to one other bridal salon, but just didn't feel comfortable committing to a gown at the first place I shopped, and was taken aback that this other shop hadn't even asked me what my budget was. My consultant, Amy, made me feel at ease right away asking me what I had tried, what I was looking for and what my budget she. She did not pull ONE dress over my budget -- which made the entire experience that much better. With only a few pieces of information, she went off to pull gowns and came back with several that ALL looked amazing on me. She even took some gowns off of mannequins that I showed interest in. Andrea's also provides bustiers for their brides to try on gowns with - which provided me with a lot of relief because I didn't feel comfortable whipping off my bra in front of someone I didn't know. I was impressed with the wide variety of gowns, the professionalism of the staff and their willingness to find me exactly what I wanted. After trying on around 7 gowns, I happily purchased the first one I had tried on that day that made me look the way I imagined myself looking on my wedding day. I will definitely recommend Andrea's to anyone else who is looking for their wedding gown! Thank you to Amy and everyone else there :)

I had the best experience at Andrea's bridal!! Found a gorgeous dress with such a sincerely kind, helpful and educated consultant. She worked hard to make my appointment memorable and stress free. I can't wait to wear my dress on my big day! Thank you girls again!

I worked with Ashley this past Saturday 1/23 @1230... I LOVED HER!!! I felt like I could talk girl talk with her one on one and she knew how I felt. She was even cool enough to let me drink champagne during the process because my nerves were so shot and emotions were running high before I even got undressed. She made me feel calm and supported. I did go to andreas a long time ago (2010ish) before the new owner and I swore this place off because the owner at the time insulted me at my appointment, after giving it a try with the new owner I can tell you it has changed for the better. I think I found my dress, but I want to make sure I try a lot on before I make my decision. Ashley made me feel like there was no rush. Thank you Ashley

I went to Andrea's Bridal on Saturday, and I was very excited to shop for wedding dresses. To me, shopping for a wedding dress with your bridesmaids is all part of the wonderful experience of getting married. Andrea's was nothing but a disappointment in this regard. 1) Our consultant was 10 minutes late for our appointment. We were very understanding of this, but she began by spending the first five minutes talking smack about the bride she worked with just before. This was not only very unprofessional, but it also took the focus away from me as a bride and my experience of finding the perfect dress. 2) The consultant asked what my budget was. I told her that I could afford to pay a lot for a dress, but would rather not pay a ton. Translate that to - if the dress was a $1,000.00 dress and wowed me, I would buy it. But I'd be much happier if it cost less and wowed me. The consultant immediately launched into assuming that I could not afford any of their price points going on a long speech about how their dresses ranged from $700-$5,000.00. 3) I described to the consultant that I would like something that was fitted and showed off my figure, but was classically simple and elegant. She proceeded to tell me "Stay away from that section of the store - everything like that is right here." Queue her pointing to a rack of plastic wrapped dresses that were entirely lace or bead-work...translate that to "too gaudy for my tastes." In fact the majority of the dresses at Andrea's looked very much alike, and the only ones at all like what I described were in the exact section she instructed us to stay away from. 4) I tried on a couple dresses anyway - but was sorely disappointed in that all of the sample sizes were street size 14 and above (meaning they tried to clip it down to my size 8 ...and none of them gave me any remote idea of what it would look like on me). AND the consultant insisted that she should be in the dressing room with me as I was changing because they were "full service." All in all, Andrea's did not make me feel comfortable shopping, did not have focus on the customer experience, and by the time I tried on my third dress, I decided to leave my appointment and take my business elsewhere. Andrea's may have some designation from The Knot as one of the best bridal boutiques in Maine, but I have a feeling that is more political and purchased than driven by customer reference. Take your business elsewhere because they care not for your experience, only for your wallet.

I had been to a few stores in Boston and to Spoil Me in Falmouth (ME) without success, so I went to Andrea's not expecting to find my dress (the store doesn't look like much from the outside and is dated on the inside). Jill was my consultant and was so helpful from the start -- not only did she let me pull dresses for myself that I liked, she suggested a few others, including the dress I ended up with which I *never* would have pulled on my own. I loved it! And it was unique while still looking like it will hold up to the test of time (it's the Watters "Viv" dress). Jill also recommended a seamstress (Bette's Bridal Stylings in Saco) to handle the alterations for my antique-looking lace dress. Thank you to Jill and the rest of the Andrea's team!

I worked with Jill at Andrea's Bridal. I came into the store in December 2014 not expecting to find anything for my September 2015 wedding on Cape Cod. But I had been to Boston without a dress -- and I found one thanks to Jill! She let me go through the racks myself and pick out what I liked, and then she gave me some additional suggestions...including a dress I *never* would have picked on my own. And it turned out to be the one I went with ("Viv" style by Watters) and loved. I went back a second time with my sister and mom to try on the dress for them in January 2015 and they also enjoyed their experience. Everyone at Andrea's was friendly and professional throughout my process. Jill also recommended a seamstress (Bette's Bridal in Saco) to alter my lace dress. It was definitely a shop I passed over on my initial search (doesn't look like much from the outside, and the inside is also dated) but it's totally worth going in and looking for your own personal diamond in the rough. Thank you to Jill and the rest of the Andrea's team!

To the ladies of Andrea's- thank you, I am so grateful. When I think about planning our wedding what I remember most is my experience at your store. If you're thinking about going somewhere else, DON'T. I live in Portland so I originally wanted to go outside the city to find my dress- I wanted to avoid having a similar dress to any of my friends. I went to two stores in NH and wasn't impressed with either store; I felt pushed, rushed and wasn't happy with things the consultants pulled. My mom suggested Andrea's Bridal and I am so thankful. From the second I walked into Andrea's I could tell I was going to find my dress. The store itself was welcoming, on top of that, we were greeted warmly, the shop was well organized and all the dresses were out to look through. I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for in a wedding dress and was frustrated by the other bridal stores I had been to; but the ladies of Andrea's made me feel completely at ease. They listened, were attentive and most of all they made the shopping experience fun! Jill (consultant) not only found my perfect wedding gown (I didn't want to take the thing off) but picked out a stunning color for the bridesmaids dresses. My dress and the colors completely set the tone for the rest of our wedding. I had a bit of a snafu when I got my dress altered...by snafu I mean the dress still didn't fit right...ONE week before the wedding. I called the store hoping they might have a suggestion of someone to help. The owner, Julia, was on it! She called in a seamstress that the store works with and took care of it. Something that should have been hair pullingly stressful the week of my wedding was, instead, completely handled. I can't express enough gratitude to these ladies. They went above and beyond every step of the way.

Bought my bridal gown at Andrea's several months ago, just went in to try it on for the first time & fell in love all over again! I was put with the same consultant (also the store owner !!) Julia who is absolutely AMAZING! Once again, we had a wonderful experience & I can't sing the praises of this salon enough! All of the consultants there were always ready to help with a smile & outstanding knowledge of the products they carry! Will be going back for bridesmaids, mothers and anything else we can think of! : ) Thank you again Julia!!!

Andrea's bridal is amazing!!!! I found my dream wedding dress after trying on only four dresses! And it wasn't even one I had picked out. My bridal consultant Jennifer just knew exactly what style dress I was describing and pulled it out! It was perfect! All of the girls that work there are so wonderful! I highly recommend going here for the best bridal experience!

Went to Andrea's Bridal a couple of weeks ago with my mother & a few friends -- we couldn't be happier with our experience at Andrea's! My consultant Jill went above & beyond our expectations -- she pulled my dream dress after trying a few other styles & I just fell in love with the feeling I had when wearing it! A HUGE thank you to all the ladies at Andrea's!!

Andrea’s was my first—and last—stop on the wedding dress hunt. I was incredibly nervous when I got to the store, but Jill immediately made me feel at ease. After showing her a few photos, she immediately knew which dresses to pull, and I left that day with my dress purchased! Wonderful and well established Portland shop with a wide selection and kind, helpful staff.

I searched high and low for my perfect wedding dress, and nothing felt "right" until I went to Andrea's. The store is beautiful, the employees are BEYOND wonderful, and the selection is fantastic. I had two bridal appointments (after being indecisive the first time), and found "the" dress my second time back. I felt so special the entire time, and never felt pressured to buy. My experience at Andrea's was arguably the best experience I had with a "vendor" throughout my entire wedding planning process. Love them!!!

So happy with this place. Found my dress today thanks to Jill. The staff is so friendly and really makes you feel valued as a bride. Jill was on point with her suggestions and found everything I wanted in my price range.I tried two other bridal gown stores before making my final decision, but Jill made me feel the most valued, beautiful, and welcomed as a bride. Thank you Jill!

Everyone here is so amazing! I never felt pressured when trying on dresses. I chatted with my consultant about what I was looking for style wise and it felt like she had known me for years. She brought out exactly what I was looking for! I would go back here in a heartbeat and recommend Andrea's to anyone!

Andreas was absolutely perfect! I went in with quite a large amount of people and they treated us like we were part of a royal family. We enjoyed sipping on champagne as I found my perfect wedding gown. It was an amazing experience and they have such a great group of gals running the place!

I didn't actually purchase my dress at Andrea's but the service I received there was amazing. Julia worked with me and didn't make me feel obligated to purchase there and supported my decision to buy a very nice dress off the rack at another bridal shop. I've recommended Andrea's to all of my other friends who are wedding planning and two are already getting dresses from there.

I went to Andrea's Bridal with two of my bridesmaids to look for bridesmaid dresses, and we worked with the owner Julia. She was very helpful and had a lot of great suggestions. I brought a picture of my dress, and told her about color options I was looking for. Julia showed us dresses that were available in the color I wanted, and the girls helped me pick out some styles to try on. They each tried on several dresses before we settled on a style. We ordered our dresses early enough to avoid any issues. The manufacturer sent the wrong dress size for one of my bridesmaids, and Andrea's took care of it quickly. All of the dresses came in a few months before the wedding. The turned out great and all of the girls loved them!

The consultants are great, they make you feel like a princess and are willing to go above and beyond to find you your perfect gown. I was so pleased with the perfect fit when it came in and how easy it was to leave my dress there until the big day. They make sure everything is steamed and ready to go for your big day and are always willing to share their advice. Great experience! My dress was perfect and yes I cried when I put it on, it was an amazing experience.

When I think back to wedding planning, one of the best experience s I had leading up to my wedding was dress shopping at Andreas Bridal. Julia was wonderful, and "got" me and my style immediately. She stuck to my budget, and was a lot of fun. The selection was amazing- for all price points- and the experience was private and custom. It has t o be tiring dealing with indecisive edgy brides all day, but Julia didnt give me that impression at all. It was clear that she loves her job, and is good at it too. Couldn't provide a higher recommendation than this!

Andrea's Bridal was the first boutique I went to when trying on wedding gowns. The staff was amazing, knowledgable, and most importantly professional. The fourth dress I tried on was the bridal gown I ended up buying but still had other appointments set up at other salons. The staff was great and told me that the designer was having a trunk show that weekend so if I came back for the dress I would actually get a better deal! I ended up coming back the next day and knew exactly which dress was mine. I loved my experience so much that I ended up having my bridesmaids get their dresses there too! It was such a pleasure working with Andrea's and wouldn't have had it any other way!

I purchased my dress and all of my bridesmaid dresses through Andrea's and everything from my first appointment down to when I picked up my dress was amazing. They went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for me and all of my girls!! Their entire staff is knowledgeable, helpful and FRIENDLY!! I would recommend Andreas to any bride!!
