Start the Day on the Right Foot:Turn on your favorite playlist, do a face mask, make a tasty breakfast… By setting the mood for your day, you’re way more likely to enjoy the process!
Speaking of starting your day… Of course be sure to do the normal brush your teeth, shave, put on deodorant, etc! You’re going to have stylists all up in your business all day.
Be Open Minded:Be prepared to try on dresses that are outside of your comfort zone. This was the most important piece of advice given to me before I started trying on wedding dresses.
Quality Over Quantity:Quality over quantity when it comes to who comes with you! You want honest opinions and a few people to help you during the experience, but you don’t need 10 different opinions coming at you.
Take Photos:Be sure to take photos during your wedding dress shopping experience! I think it makes a huge difference to see a dress in the mirror vs see it in photos.
Know Your Budget:Before going wedding dress shopping, know your budget. Even if it’s not an exact number, have an idea on what you can spend on the dress.
Shop For Your Shape, Not Your Weight:Your weight is going to fluctuate between the day you try on your dress for the first time to your wedding day, but you shape is going to stay the same.
Trust Your Gut, But Sleep On It:If you think you’ve found a dress that you love, trust your gut! It can be so overwhelming to keep trying on dresses wondering if something out there is better for you!
