Wedding planning can be both exciting and stressful, but that is to be expected. Booking vendors, making arrangements, and making payment deadlines can become overwhelming for anyone. Though these tasks can take a lot of patience, there is one moment in particular that every bride dreams of since childhood: choosing a wedding dress.
Do Research
From watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, to playing dress-up in your room, you have probably been anticipating this moment since you were a little girl. Now that the time has come to pick out your wedding dress, there are a few things that might help you in the process. Before booking an appointment, do some research to figure out what style, material, and details you envision yourself wearing. Rip out magazine pages or explore Pinterest to find some inspiration. Take these inspiration pictures with you to the appointment to help narrow down your options.
Be Open Minded
Many brides will walk into a bridal shop searching for one specific style. While this helps give your consultant an idea of what you want, try to trust their professional opinions. For example, they might attempt to bring you a ballgown when you requested nothing but mermaid style dresses. This isn’t your consultant ignoring your wishes, but them wanting to provide you some variety. Oftentimes, brides will fall in love with a style they never considered before. You never know what style or color compliments you best until you try it, so try to be open to other options.
Set a Budget
Discussing money can be a sensitive topic, but a budget must be set to avoid broken hearts. Before going to your appointment, have this conversation with your spouse or whoever intends to pay the bill. Set a limit on how much to spend so your consultant can avoid presenting you with dresses over budget. If you intend on buying accessories such as a veil or headpiece, lower your budget in preparation for extra costs.
