wedding dress shopping tips & tricks💍
my biggest piece of advice when trying to find “ the one “ , is take is slow! Don’t feel pressured to choose your first fitting! Try several stores! Go different days! it’s all about YOU!
-
•Have a budget before you even book your appointment! A few days prior to my first fitting , they requested my budget so they could pull dresses within my budget! This kept me from getting heart broken if i put on a dress WAY outta my budget!!
•try on all the styles (you’ll be shocked at what they look like on YOU!!)
•bring heels! even if you don’t have your wedding day heels , bring a pair similar! It helps so much when seeing your dress on with them!!
•wear jewelry similar to your wedding day jewelry! If you’re not sure yet , take a few different styles! It helps you pull the neck line fully together!
• take a claw clip!! Especially if you have long hair! this saved my shoulders so much while switching in and out of dresses and getting zipped up! plus trying on dresses is a work out , no one can convince me otherwise haha
• take extra deodorant!! once again , it’s a work out haha
•take pictures in EVERY single dress!! Especially if you’re iffy , looking back on the pictures while not being put on spot helps sooo much!!!
• HAVE FUN!!
• go to more then one store! i thought i found “the one” at my first shop , im soo thankful i went to more then one because i actually found “the one” . i put on my dress and automatically knew i was ordering it that day!
•request your measurements! These will come in hand between different shops and also shopping online for your bridal shower dresses!!
When embarking on the journey of wedding dress shopping, it's important to remember that this process should be enjoyable and personal. One crucial piece of advice is to take your time. Don't rush the experience by feeling obligated to buy the first dress you try on. Visit multiple stores and sample a wide variety of styles. It's common to be surprised by how different styles look on you, so be open-minded. Moreover, having a budget before your appointments will save you heartbreak down the line. Communicate your budget clearly to stylists, ensuring that they only present options that fit your financial plan. For a successful fitting, always wear shoes similar to those you'll wear on your wedding day; this will give you a realistic idea of the dress's overall look. Accessorizing is also key—if you have an idea of your wedding-day jewelry, wear similar pieces to help envision your complete look. Additionally, consider practical items to bring, such as a claw clip to manage your hair and extra deodorant to stay fresh during trying on dresses. Take photos in each dress, especially for those you’re unsure about; looking back at these can provide clarity when you're back home. Remember, this experience is about finding a dress that feels like 'the one' for you, so have fun with it. Share your journey with friends and family, and don't hesitate to seek their opinions. Lastly, always take note of your measurements, as you may need them for future fittings or online shopping for bridal accessories. Happy dress hunting!
