Amazing Experience

This was a great experience. I went somewhere else that morning and it was terrible so I was nervous to come in. But she turned my whole day around and I had a great time.

Best in Anchorage

Bateau is the ONLY of its kind here in Alaska! I moved here from Miami 6 years ago and when my husband and I got engaged I literally started looking at tickets to go down to california or seattle for the weekend to pick out the perfect wedding dress. I thought surely there were no places that carried the whimsical beauties and styles like BHLDN here in AK. Someone recommended I should check out bateau and though I was weary I went for it. It's a teeny little converted house in an area of town I don't usually go to ...and it's filled with MAGIC! They only take appointments so you have complete privacy to browse everything. The ladies are super helpful and their store is filled with gorgeous accessories as well. I ended up purchasing my wedding gown there, fur shawl and a gorgeous bridal headband. They had stunning bridal belts as well but I already had one for my special day. Would highly recommend any new brides to head to this place FIRST before trying any other salons in anchorage or the valley.

Fabulous Experience - Beautiful Dress!

I had scheduled an appointment at Bateau Bridal and they seemed eager and responded promptly to my inquiries. I ended up cancelling once I found out they were having a sample dress sale and am so glad I attended that! I ended up falling in love with the 3rd dress I tried on and was able to take it home that day. The women at Bateau Bridal are fabulous, I wanted to be friends with them :) would definitely recommend!

Best bridal boutique in Anchorage by far. I went to David's first, but do not waste your time there. Go straight to BBB. Tara makes you feel welcome and comfortable from the start and she has great advice. The quality of the gowns and accessories cannot be matched by David's bridal or anywhere else.

I don't have enough nice things to say about Bateau Bridal Boutique! Tara treats each client to a private consult so that they can feel special and gain her full attention. The designers they carry are some of the top and the boutique itself is so posh and lovely I never want to leave! I also think it's one of the best places to buy accessories that are unique and created with true craftsmanship.
