FAQ

How do I Prepare for My First Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment?

Before your appointment, you should do some research on wedding dresses to start narrowing down the style you’re looking for. With the variety that’s out there, having an idea of what you want can save you and your stylist a lot of time and energy and get you right to the dresses you want to see. While it’s good to have an idea of what you want, it’s also important that you keep an open mind, as some styles and embellishments may surprise you.

Another thing to do before your appointment is establish a budget. This will give your consultant a price range to stick with, and will prevent you from falling in love with a dress that you simply cannot afford. No one needs that heartbreak.

When it’s time to actually head over for your appointment, make sure you wear appropriate undergarments and minimal makeup. It’s also a good idea to get some food in you first. Shopping for a wedding dress is an exhausting process that requires a lot of energy, and you don’t want a hungry stomach affecting your attitude or opinions about the dresses you try on.

What Can I Expect from My First Wedding Dress Shopping Appointment?

Your first appointment can be a little intimidating, but your consultant/stylist will be there to help you every step of the way. First appointments are all about trying on dresses and letting your stylist get to know you. The one big thing to know before heading in to the shop is that not every dress you try on will be your size, and dresses tend to be made small. You may find yourself fitting into dresses a size or two larger than you would normally wear, and that is perfectly normal. When trying on rack dresses that are too small or too large, your stylist will help you envision the dress as it would look in your size; they use clips to make the dress look like it fits to the front, while you may have bunched u fabric or a big gap at the back of the dress. No matter what situation you find yourself in, it’s essential that you keep an open mind and you allow yourself to fully enjoy the experience.

Types of Wedding Dresses

Wedding dresses are typically categorized by silhouette.  The most common silhouettes are A-line, mermaid, sheath, and ballgown. A line dresses are suited to every body type and feature a fitted bodice with a gently flared skirt. This dress is very easy to wear and is one of the most popular styles. Sheath and mermaid dresses are quite similar, as they both hug your body tightly. Mermaid dresses will flare out at the knee region to create an hourglass effect, whereas sheath dresses are more of a straight line from the waist down. Ballgown dresses look like classic princess/fairytale dresses and have a tight bodice with a full bell skirt. These dresses are quite heavy but absolutely stunning on most body types. A few less common silhouette types are jumpsuits and separates. A jumpsuit can have either flared legs or tight depending on your style. Separates are dresses cut in two, so you can pick a bodice and a skirt individually. They could also be a regular dress with a removable skirt. This dress type makes it really easy to switch styles mid wedding day and customize your look.

How to Search for a Wedding Dress

Finding a wedding dress, let alone the right dress, can feel like an impossible task. It’s important to give yourself enough time to explore what you like and what you don’t like, and pull some of your close family and friends in for some advice too. When you start looking for a wedding dress, it’s a good idea to browse online and through bridal magazines. Start collecting dresses that you love, and then see if there are any common themes like extravagant lace, open back, certain necklines or silhouettes, etc. Once you’ve successfully narrowed down your personal taste, it’s time to start looking for a bridal shop to make your dream dress a reality. It’s a good idea to find a shop you love fairly close to home, as you may need to go multiple times to find a dress and get alterations done closer to the big day. After finding a bridal shop that sparks your interest, it’s time to make an appointment. Bring along 3 or 4 close friends or family members and let the experts guide you in your search. Every bridal shop will have different styles on rack and partnerships with different designers. If you don’t find your perfect dress the first time out, don’t get discouraged. Your perfect dress is out there!
