Keep an Open Mind You might have a specific style in mind, but don’t be afraid to try on different styles and materials. Sometimes, the dress you least expect to love ends up being the one! Trust your stylist and be open to their suggestions - they know what they're doing!
Have a Budget in Mind Before stepping into the store, it really helps to have a clear budget in mind. This helps you and your stylist narrow down options and avoid falling in love with a dress that's out of reach. Remember to also account for alterations, accessories, and any other wedding day essentials. |
Wear Nude Undergarments
Opt for nude undergarments when dress shopping. They won't show through most dresses, allowing you to get a better idea of how each gown will look on your big day. If you plan on wearing shapewear, bring it along to see how it works with different dress styles.
Bring the Right People
Less is more when it comes to your entourage. Too many opinions can make the process stressful and overwhelming. Choose a few trusted friends or family members whose opinions matter most to you. They'll help you feel confident and supported without adding unnecessary pressure!

More Tips for a Successful Dress Shopping Experience
Book an Appointment
Make sure to book an appointment ahead of time. This guarantees that you'll have a dedicated stylist to assist you and that you won’t be rushed during your visit.
Bring Inspiration
Feel free to bring screenshots of dresses you like or have a Pinterest board ready. This gives your stylist a better idea of your style and preferences.
Consider the Venue
Think about your wedding venue and the season. A beach wedding might call for a different style of dress than a winter wedding in a ballroom. Your stylist can help guide you towards styles that will be comfortable and stunning in your chosen setting.

While it’s great to get opinions from loved ones, remember that it’s your day and your dress. Choose what makes you feel beautiful and confident, even if it’s different from what others envision for you.
