Anna bé was founded in Denver, CO in 2006 and opened up in the North Loop in 2021! There are currently three anna bé locations and ten a&bé locations. The Bridal shop we visited is located in the Northloop in Minneapolis. Anna Be is a sister store with a&bé Bridal in Edina. They are the same company but work with a different collection of designers. Anna bé is the laid back, luxury-focused older sister and a&bé is the whimsical, bubbly younger sister! We have so much fun when brides shop with both of us, but our collections are pretty different so a lot of brides will resonate with one brand over the other.
The price range is primarily from $3,000 to $10,000, but we have some of gowns that are both less than $3,000 and higher than $10,000.
Anna Be offers several different appointment types so that they can serve every client that comes in their door – traditional bridal appointments, off the rack appointments, private appointments, and even veil and accessories appointments. Claire, Nikita and the rest of the team offer a truly personalized service and inclusive collections for the ultimate shopping experience. Here are some questions answered by their team!
What are the designers you usually work with?
We carry a curated selection of luxury and couture bridal designers, many of which are exclusive to us within Minnesota! Our core collection right now includes Monique Lhuillier, Danielle Frankel, Katherine Tash, Eva Lendel, and Guardiola. We also love to host trunk shows with guest designers like Kim Kassas! For veils and accessories, we carry Sara Gabriel and Untamed Petals.What sizes do you carry?
Our samples are a range of bridal sizes from 8 to 22, but our designers create gowns made to order so we tailor sizing to each of our brides.
Do you have a style you are known for?
We have a little bit of everything, but we have some designers that focus on the more classic and dramatic look like Monique Lhuillier and Eva Lendel, and some that lean more fashion-forward and laid back like Danielle Frankel and Katherine Tash.
Is your store LGBTQ friendly?
Absolutely! At anna bé we celebrate diversity and welcome all gender identities, expressions, presentations, and backgrounds.
