12 Tips for Wedding Dress Shopping

I’m the first one to admit that I was freaking out about wedding dress shopping. I’ve heard so many horror stories about being in the fitting room at a bridal shop.

We got engaged in December 2018, I didn’t start accepting the fact that I needed to dress shop until December 2019.

As soon as we decided on our destination wedding venue, it was full speed ahead to figure out my wedding dress! Let me share some tips for wedding dress shopping!

Do Not Crash Diet

I repeat, DO NOT CRASH DIET before you go wedding dress shopping. First off, crash diets are never a good ideas. Second, you should be trying on the dress at your normal size.

Wear Nude Bra + Panties

I wore a matching nude set and it helped me feel comfortable stripping down with the stylists. I highly encourage you to wear nude or white undergarments.

Start the Day on the Right Foot

By setting the mood for your day, you’re way more likely to enjoy the process! If you’re stressed before you even start wedding dress shopping, you’re doomed!

Be Open Minded

Be prepared to try on dresses that are outside of your comfort zone. Of course I knew some general ideas for the look I wanted, but I was open to trying on any style.

Bring a Scrunchy or Hair Tie

Trying on clothes can get really warm, so don’t be afraid to throw your hair up if your body is heating up! Maybe have a designated pal keep the hair tie on their wrist!
