This is probably the most exciting and yet stressful experience in your wedding planning - finding the perfect wedding gown!
Before you make an appointment with any wedding gown stores, I recommend you flip through some bridal magazines and get a general ideas of what style(s) you like and bringing in pictures to show your consultant the day of your appointment. This will help give your consultant to understand what styles tend to catch your eye. If you are one of our clients, we will submit the pictures for you prior the appointment. So by the time you arrive the store, your pre-selected wedding gowns are already waiting for you in the dressing room.
Do not go to a wedding gown store without an appointment. You will need a designated consultant to help you selecting and trying all these wedding gowns. It usually takes at least an hour...sometimes up to 4 hours trying on all these dresses. Without an appointment, the process will take longer. In the busy wedding season, you might not have any consultant available to assist you nor a dressing room for you to change.
Going alone to an appointment is not a brilliant idea. First of all, you will not be able to see the back of the dress...and most of us will ask for a second, third, or even sixth opinion when we purchase a wedding gown. Wedding gown could cost you thousands of dollars. So this is not a small expense of your wedding budget. I recommend you bringing people with you to help you making your decision since the selection can be overwhelming.
Make sure you bring your heels with you and proper bra for the gown. Be on time for your appointment. If you are any later than 20 minutes from your scheduled appointment time, don't be surprise some stores might release your appointment to another bride on their waiting list.
I would suggest bringing a strapless bra and a pair of heels to get the full effect of the gowns. You may also want to try on veils and accessories to match your wedding gown.
