Wedding Dresses and Gowns in Portland

Hanna at Charlots Bridal was Amazing. I would never have picked that dress off the rack myself. She knew exactly what would look good on me. The dress was perfect.

I was originally only looking at pre-loved gowns for my wedding when I met Kynda (owner) at the Wedding Expo. She asked why I wanted to go that route and assured me that my budget concerns would not hinder me from buying a new gown from her. I made an appt for after visiting 3-4 other consignment style vendors. I found dresses I did like at each one of those but ended up finding an even better *new* one within my budget when shopping at Crown Bridal! Kynda was also my sales person and damn she is GOOD. Not only did she stay very late making sure I found just what I wanted, she guided me through the entire process making an overwhelming process simplified. She also let me make MY OWN decision without tainting my choice with her opinions which was great. The craziest part is that after I had settled on a gown, I asked her her opinion and I PICKED THE GOWN SHE HAD SECRETLY WRITTEN DOWN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE APPT!!! Talk about serendipitous but also showed me how amazing she is at her job! Also had great experiences with the other staff throughout my pickup/etc.

I had a great visit with Emily as my guide! The store was beautiful and easy to shop in. Emily made me feel so welcome and safe! I brought my mother in law, aunt, and cousin and was so happy the entire time! While I didn't find THE dress this round, the team keeps their insta updated nicely so I will deffo be back to try on some more options!

Jenna at Ania’s Bridal was absolutely incredible in helping me find my wedding dress. She is warm, patient, and incredibly attentive, taking the time to really understand my style, preferences, and vision for the day. Her expertise and guidance made the dress-shopping process enjoyable, exciting, and completely stress-free. Jenna offered thoughtful suggestions while listening carefully to what I wanted, helping me feel confident and beautiful every step of the way. She made the entire experience feel personal and special, and I left every appointment feeling supported and inspired. I cannot recommend Jenna highly enough for any bride searching for the perfect dress. She is a true expert and genuinely wonderful to work with.

Recommended by my wedding venue! They have a variety of great quality dresses, most donated directly by bridal shops. You don't get your own specialist like other bridal shops, but I feel it's nice so you can look at the racks on your own to see what you like. I got a great quality ballgown dress for a price I never would have gotten at any bridal shop. Plus, your contributions help support women-focused charities.

I highly recommend **True Society by The White Dress** to anyone searching for an exceptional wedding dress shopping experience and high-quality gowns. From the moment I arrived—early in the morning—I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who greeted me and my guests with genuine smiles and enthusiasm. The boutique itself is stunning, and the private fitting room I was placed in was absolutely beautiful. My stylist, Alyssa, was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire appointment. Although I was a bit shy at first, she created a comfortable, fun atmosphere that allowed me to relax and truly enjoy the experience. Alyssa helped me pull dresses that matched my vision perfectly, while also encouraging me to try on a few options outside of my comfort zone. She also helped me see my whole vision by grabbing veils and sleeves for me to try on which was so helpful. To my surprise, I fell in love with a gown that was very different from what I had originally imagined—and it ended up being the one I said YES to!

This is the 5-star bespoke suit experience everyone dreams of. Think: James Bond meets speakeasy.

Small town, local shop feel but with all the gorgeous designer dresses. I like that it is basically a one-stop shop with purchasing the dress and in-store seamstresses. The only reason I am putting 4 versus 5 stars is because when I was sold on the dress during my try-ons, I was told that the modifications I wanted done to make it my “dream” dress were very doable and shouldn’t be too expensive. However, after ordering the dress and meeting with the seamstress, I was told the modifications I wanted were very difficult and would cost about another $1000. If I was told this during try on, I would have gone with a different dress altogether. I ended up going well beyond my budget on the dress because I did end up pursuing some alterations to the dress (deeper plunging neckline) plus additional sizing fixes. The seamstresses were sweet and were willing to work with me throughout each fitting. It was a beautiful dress but I did not love it as much as I hoped. The store is great, the selection is wonderful, I just regret spending as much as I did since I was not able to achieve my dream wedding dress look.

Terri makes all of her beautiful dresses by hand to fit the bride - and from truly sustainable fabrics for a price that's affordable (<$1000). She was quick to respond to my questions and very flexible about changes I wanted to make. I couldn't have asked for a better dress buying experience and to have something that speaks to my values made wearing the dress extra special.

Tracey and the team at Merrime were nothing less than outstanding! As a bride to be, I felt listened to, included in the dress selection process, and taken care of down to all the little details. They were even able to message the sales rep during my appointment about the possibility for customizations of a specific dress to really make my vision come to life. They really know what they’re doing and will make any bride feel so amazing! Plus the price point for these designer gowns is unbeatable
