Shopping for your wedding dress is a unique experience unlike any other. A wedding dress is a high-end, couture garment, so the retail is unlike any other. After all, you are purchasing the gown you’ll get married in, so it’s only fitting that the moment is special! We do a lot of work prior to your appointment to ensure the entire experience is seamless and beautiful, but it’s important for you to come prepared as well so that you can make the most of your appointment.
Show Us Your Inspiration!
Before you shop, we’re sure you’ve been looking in magazines and at photos on Pinterest, dreaming of the kind of dress you’ll walk down the aisle in. We want to see all the gowns you’re loving! Showing us the inspiration photos you’ve been looking at gives us a better idea of your unique personal style and vision for your wedding, so that we can find gowns you’ll love earlier on in the appointment.
Underwear
When shopping, it’s important to be focused on the dress. For this reason, we recommend coming to your appointment in either nude or white underwear, and a strapless bra if possible. This way, you’re seeing the dress as close to what it will look like on your wedding day as possible, with minimal distractions.
Bring Guests
We can’t wait to host you and your loved ones for your appointment! Bringing guests is a great idea, as you’ll most likely want them there when you find the dress, and you’ll love having their advice if you’re torn between a few options. While we want you to bring loved ones, we also recommend keeping the group small—too many guests can drown out your own voice, and make the decision that much more difficult.
