Hi Not neccessary but all means either bring your mum or a friend.  If you bring your bridesmaids this might become too overwelming especially if opinions differ.

Hiya!

It is perfectly fine to come in to your appointments solo, in fact a lot of brides do for their first time. Of course, having your Mum and bridesmaids there is fantastic but can sometimes get a little bit overwhelming with all eyes being on you. Also, everyone is going to have an opinion of gowns which can also become a little much.

Bridal consultants are friendly and often quite chatty so there is no reason to stress about going alone. Plus, at Raffinato Bridal you are more than welcome to take a couple of snaps to send to your sister or even Skype/Facetime your Mum during the appointment to keep them involved!

Hope this helps!

Enjoy the process!

There is no rule that you have to bring bridesmaids to every fitting, but closer to the day you might want to bring someone that will help you get dressed on the day so they know what to do. I often offer dressing service to my clients so ask your designer if they have that service too, then on the day you can surprise everyone and make an entrance.

It's nice to have some friends or family with you to get their input but it's perfectly ok to come alone, most bridal shops will only sell you a gown that really looks great on you and shouldn't feel pressured to buy what you are not  getting a 100%  wow feeling with. Allow yourself as much time as you can so that you are not rushed into buying a gown that isn't what you really want.

Hi, 

We have had many brides come alone for the fitting and it's not neccessary to have bridesmaid come with you. So don't worry about that! :) 

Please have a look at our shop and feel free to make a booking with us!
