How to Prepare for Your Wedding Dress Appointment

Preparation is key to making the most of your appointment. Here are some handy tips to get you ready:

1. Do Your Homework

   Browse bridal magazines, Pinterest boards, or Instagram for styles you love. Save pictures to show your consultant. This helps them understand your vision.

   
   

2. Wear the Right Undergarments

   Bring a strapless bra or the type of underwear you plan to wear on your big day. This helps you see how the dress will really look.

   
   

3. Keep Your Hair and Makeup Simple

   You want to focus on the dress, so keep your look natural. You can always glam up later!

   
   

4. Bring a Trusted Friend or Family Member

   Having someone supportive with you can make the experience even more special. Just one or two people is best to keep things calm.

   
   

5. Set a Realistic Budget

   Know what you’re comfortable spending and share this with your consultant. They’ll help you find options that fit your budget.

   
   

Booking your appointment with these tips in mind will help you feel confident and ready to enjoy every moment.

Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Dress Appointment

Let’s be honest - wedding dress shopping can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to! Here are some gentle reminders to keep things light and fun:

• Keep an Open Mind

Sometimes the dress you think you want isn’t the one that makes you feel amazing. Be open to trying different styles.

• Take Your Time

Don’t rush. It’s okay to book a follow-up appointment if you need more time to decide.

• Trust Your Instincts

If a dress makes you smile and feel like you, that’s a great sign.

• Communicate Clearly

Let your consultant know what you like and don’t like. They’re there to help you find the perfect fit.

• Enjoy the Moment

This is a special time in your journey. Soak it all in and have fun!

Many dresses need a little tweaking unless you are able to have a custom made dress. Ask your consultant about the alteration process and timeline.

• Schedule a Follow-Up Appointment

Sometimes you need a second visit to confirm your choice or try on more options.

• Plan Your Budget

Factor in the cost of the dress, alterations, accessories, and any extras.

• Celebrate Your Progress

Whether you found your dress or not, give yourself a pat on the back. You’re one step closer to your big day!
