Simple, classy and elegant! Tara has a bit of everything beautifully displayed in her charming store. This is what an Alaskan bridal shop should be, every piece is hand selected and excellent quality. She is honest and practical. You'll feel at home instantly in her shop. You cannot put a price tag on the privacy and attention to detail that your given.

Shopping at Bateau Bridal was an amazing experience that all brides should experience! Kendall helped my daughter find the perfect dress and accessories, while making the appointment fun and upbeat. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to begin preparing for her special day!!

I love this dress shop. So cute and lots of choices which is surprising because it looks so tiny.

Tara is awesome at what she does! She helped me pick the perfect dress for my wedding next summer and I love her for that! No other bridal store in Anchorage was as down to earth and friendly, but best of all, she really cared about wanting to help me find the perfect dress for ME. I had no idea it would take a few months to get a dress in because they're basically custom made for you, so if you're new to all of this like I was, try and plan ahead as much as you can! They also had consignment dresses and other dresses you could buy on the spot. My mom and I loved that they offered champagne while I tried on the dresses. They have a pretty great selection of dresses and they're not those pushy sales-ey types, they actually care about what you're going to be wearing. I wouldn't go anywhere else, HIGHLY recommend them, and love them here! This is where I'll be referring all of my friends to from now on for sure! Oh, also, lots of accessories to choose from too!!

I can say enough good things about this place. She knows EXACTLY how to help you find a perfect wedding dress. Actually listens to what you want and what you are concerned about. She knows her stuff about wedding dresses! There was never I time I felt uncomfortable. This is an adorable shop, and I love the one on one attention. Made wedding dress shopping a breeze. I can't wait to see how my dress looks in photos!

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this boutique is. They genuinely care about the experience. They are patient, we never felt rushed. The owner has done a remarkable job giving Anchorage the perfect place to buy anything wedding.

I bought my wedding dress from BBB in January of 2015, and I cannot speak higher of this shop! Out off all of the dress shops in Anchorage this was by far my favorite. I went to BBB last, and I told myself if I didn't find my dress there that I would have to fly out of state. There was NO need! Tara's shop had incredible designers and options that made it unnecessary to fly out of state to find something completely unique. I also really loved the relaxed atmosphere, I never felt pushed or pressured to buy and that made me feel comfortable and confident that I was buying the right dress for me. Overall buying my dress at Bateau Bridal Boutique was probably the best experience I had throughout my entire wedding process!

I purchased my wedding dress and my bridesmaid dresses from Bateau Bridal Boutique. It was such a good experience. I visited almost every shop in town and this one was by far my favorite. The shop is so cute and it's private. I felt so comfortable the entire time. Tara was great at helping me find dresses that I would like. Everything arrived on time and as expected. I highly recommend!!!!

So happy I found this place! It's cozy, calm, peaceful ! I had gone to David's Bridal first, and felt stressed, and rushes and exposed! I came here next, I was the only one there (with my squad) and the sales lady was so nice, patient and bubbly. She helped me try and tons of dresses, and didn't waste my time if I didn't LOVE a dress. They have consignment dresses, sample dresses and new gowns! Of course I didn't find one in the consignment rack like I had hoped! ( I was hoping to save some money) but I found the gown of my dreams!!!! The most beautiful gown I have ever seen. I didn't know exactly what I was looking for whwn I came in, but when I put it on. It was the one!

Such an amazing experience!! Flora was so helpful and patient!!

Erin Grillo

I can't express how amazing this shop and it's owner, Tara, are! I went looking for my gown here and felt totally at home, was not pressured to buy and felt that I was in the hands of someone who really knew their stuff. For most of my buying experience I was by myself as my family and friends are all in Indiana. Tara was kind, helpful and gave me the advice and opinions I would have wanted from my family. She welcomed me with a hug every meeting and did everything she could to make my experience awesome! I am equipped head to toe with items from her shop and couldn't be happier. I went to all the shops in town, and this is by far the best!

Tara is AMAZING! This little boutique is such a staple here in Anchorage, ak - there is nothing else like it! From the very start Tara makes you feel like a pampered bride the moment you walk into this cute boutique! After several days and many stores later, I had the best wedding dress shopping experience with Bateau Bridal! I would recommend any bride who is on the hunt for the perfect dress to skip all other stores and come see Tara at Bateau Bridal Boutique! Thank you, Tara!! xoxo

This was the best bridal experience. Tara was amazing. She only does one girl at a time and makes you feel incredibly special. She has a variety of dresses and lots of fun jewelry pieces. I found my perfect dress here and I had the best time trying on dresses.

Stefanie Moiles

Tara at Bateau Bridal is absolutely amazing. She has a great selection of dresses, and is super helpful and listens to what you want. The shop is adorable and feels really comfortable. You are the only bride in there when you schedule your appointment, so the whole shop is yours for family and friends to watch you try on dresses. The shop is not handicap accessible, but Tara took the time and energy to help me get my Mother up the stairs, even helping move her legs and hold her arms, and seemed happy to help!! I highly highly recommend coming here for a bridal gown, I will recommend this shop to all future brides in the Anchorage area.

Ivory Beau

Hands down, the best shop in Alaska! The gowns are hand selected, and are stunning and unique. Tara and her girls make sure each bride is taken care of one by one, and ensures that they find the perfect dress for their special day!

Veronica Dandurand

This is such a cute and charming shop! I absolutely loved my experience there. It was just as I imagined it, with a nice sitting area for my mom and bridesmaids and ample mirrors to see how I looked in the dress and just an overall classy atmosphere. It's nice that they only take one bride at a time as it made for a more intimate and cozy environment. Tara and the ladies there are great to work with and they were so gracious when I came back for a 2nd try on of two dresses that I fell in love with, they even let me try on more then those two dresses when I came back that visit. I highly recommend this shop, I had gone to two other shops in town but the other two left me feeling more like a number. Give them a visit, it's totally worth it.
