Timing is Everything

During the wedding dress shopping experience one of the most common questions that comes up is, "When should I order my wedding dress?"  The short answer is, "When you find one you love!"

Not every bride is so lucky to find her Perfect Gown on her first visit.  In fact, there are some brides who struggle with what to purchase.  This is, after all, for most brides: an investment of a lifetime.  The wedding dress has got to be Perfect!

First of all, as with everything else in life, Timing is Everything.  Here's a few tips to help you gear up for your bridal appointment:

1. Get Pretty.  That's right.  Before you head to your bridal appointment: take a shower, style your hair, and put your make up on.  We both know, we feel best when we look our best.  You are not going to feel pretty in any dress if you do not feel pretty to begin with.  So, get pretty!

2. Put the Good Panties on!  Please and thank you.  We won't judge, but really, we do not want to see your bare-naked buns!  Please wear nice underwear because we will be assisting you in the dressing room.  In our full service boutique, we do all the zipping, lacing, and bustling for you.

3. There's No Pressure.  If you do not feel like trying wedding dresses on, then don't.  Sometimes, we just don't feel like dressing up.  And that's okay!  We simply ask that you call and reschedule your visit.  We want to meet with you on a day you feel like you've put your best foot forward.

4. Have a Vision.  Although you may not know what style works best for you, you must have an idea of how your wedding will look and feel.  The season, the setting, the decorations, the colors, the flowers...all these items play a part in the wedding dress selection.  When you bring us your wedding vision, we will help you select the Perfect Bridal Gown for your Big Day!

Wherever you go, however many wedding dresses you try on, you must be in love with your gown.  That's the "AHHH" feeling!  That epiphany "this is the one" that people talk about.  When you find a wedding dress you love, act on it.  Sure, there's always going to be more dresses.  They make dresses everyday.  But, for you - when you fall IN LOVE with your wedding dress - don't chance it.  It could be gone next week.  If you LOVE it, then get it.

We recommend beginning your dress shopping 9-12 months before your wedding date.
