How to wedding dress shop?

Hello

Firstly enjoy it :-)

Secondly, depending on your location, do a little research of what stores hold in relation to sizing, styles etc and then make a booking.  Clients with bookings are guaranteed a much better experience than if you just walk in to a store, as the stores may not have enough staff on to assist you on a 1 to 1 basis 100%.

Be open to trying on lots of different silhouettes until you find the one that you feel is where you want to focus and then it gets serious LOL. 

Having support at your Appointment can make it fun and ease nerves but something to remember is that it is your day and we all have different ideas of what we would wear, but that doesnt mean you should!   Honesty is good but choose the gown for you.

Have a wonderful time shopping and I hope you find the gown of your dreams really soon

Hi There,

  Congratulations on your engagement, you must be very excited and looking forward to planning your big day. :)

    Before booking an appointment with any Store or Designer, firstly I recommend writing a list of what you would like on your wedding dress, do you want a strapless sweetheart style, mermaid, Fishtail gown with spaghetti straps and so on, look through Instagram or the net of a favourite Designer get ideas and write them down on the list. Once you got your List, go to different Bridal stores and try the style that has most of your preferences and don't be afraid to try anything you see that takes your fancy, sometimes what we think we want may not look right, so try on as many styles as you need to. If you don't feel quite sure with the dress you pick, leave it for the time being until you feel it's the right one, it's your big day and you'll want to feel fantastic wearing it.

Also you may want to wear a Strapless Bra or have one ready in your bag before trying on dresses incase you'll need it.

I'm a Dressmaker and Designer and would be more than happy to assist you with styles best suited to your personality, my services include Fabric sourcing at wholesale prices, one on one Free consultations or if you're interstate I can give you a run down on Design Process, I'd be happy to create a custom Gown adding everything on your list so that you get exactly what you envision. 

Most important of all is to enjoy the experience .

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact.

Best wishes on your dress hunting. xx
