Firstly, you need to trust your consultant and not be scared to try on gowns he or she suggests that fall outside of your traditional comfort zone.

 
The day has arrived to shop for your wedding dress. The golden ticket is on your ring finger, your date has been set and it is time to venture out into the seas of ivory, lace and something blues for the shopping trip you have dreamt about since you were little.

If the pressure is mounting to find the dress of your dreams, don’t worry. We have compiled an expert guide designed by bridal stylists to prepare you for your first dress appointment and help you find the gown of your dreams with ease.

Trust Your Consultant

Firstly, you need to trust your consultant and not be scared to try on gowns he or she suggests that fall outside of your traditional comfort zone.

These people are your confidantes during the appointment. They will help you charter the unknown waters and keep you focused and on track; ensuring that the initial enthusiasm surrounding the dress hunt does not morph into exhaustion.

Bring family and friend to support

Although it may be incredibly tempting to invite the entirety of your close friends and family to your appointment, having a few friends to accompany you can quickly transform an appointment from an exciting shopping trip into a nerve racking experience.

The majority of bridal boutiques are small and crowded enough without your fiancé’s friend joining the party, so only shop with a supportive group whose opinions matter the most to you and whom have your best interests at mind.

Be physically prepared

Arrive to your appointment prepared to focus on your wedding image. The dress is a big part of the finished look, but it will be much easier to imagine wearing one of these gowns if you don’t look like you just rolled out of bed. Though a stretchy headband and messy bun perched on top of your head may be your day-to-day look, this casual appearance can make your dress feel out of place and bizarre in comparison.

Stylists do not believe you should arrive looking wedding ready, but having a put together appearance can ease the selection process and help you focus in on the dress and how it makes you feel.

Have the Questions Answered

Setting the parameters of your wedding before heading to the land of lace and tulle can be the key to choosing your bridal gown. Many factors such as; venue, time of the year can influence your gown. You do not have to choose a dress that cookie-cutter fits your style of wedding, by having these questions answered you can easily break a tie that may occur between two gowns.

Don’t Get Hung Up on Sizes

As body types have changed throughout the decades, bridal size charts have not. Wedding gowns are created on European sizing. Based on your shape, this may require brides to order two sizes bigger than they would ordinarily wear. This does not mean you are not built for bridal. European sizing runs small as it is based on couture fashions and it has become a tradition of the wedding industry to use these sizing methods.
