Tips For The Bride Venturing Out to Shop For Her Gown, Courtesy of Vera Wang!

How to get started...   • We suggest a bride start looking roughly 8-10 months in advance. So allow for plenty of time to purchase your dress. • Most salons will require an advance appointment so a bridal consultant can effectively work with you. Most appointments last between 45-90 minutes. Make sure you have the venue solidified. If not, then have an idea of the setting. This will be a big influence on your dress style. • Be aware of your budget and communicate this to your consultant. A good consultant is happy to find selections in your price range. • Do not limit yourself to certain bridal gown cuts or fabrications. Even if the bride thinks she will not like it, we suggest trying it!   • Carefully consider the number of important people you bring with you to your appointment. Too many opinions tend to confuse the bride. We suggest up to three accompany the bride. Limit yourself from visiting too many bridal salons. This overwhelms brides more often than helping them in the long run.

We couldn't agree more with these tips! Gown shopping should be a positive and memorable experience, and these tips will help you on your way! xx
