Before You Start Gown Shopping, Plan!

First, CONGRATS are in order if you recently said YES to a wedding proposal. We know that this is one the most exciting times in a woman's life and we want you to enjoy every single minute of it!

Most brides we've met hardly have the ring on before they are dying to get themselves into one of those frilly, lacy, poofy, white wedding gowns - and we can't blame them! But before you rush into a million bridal stores ready to try on everything that's thrown to you, take some time to plan.

Get inspired. It's a good idea to go get a couple of bridal magazines just to get some inspiration. You may have been dreaming of your gown since the day you were born, but a photograph helps the dream come to life - and it will later help your consultant get an idea of what you're looking for. Don't be afraid to come in with a collection of pictures; when it comes to bridal, a picture really is worth a thousand words.

Do some research before you start making your appointments. Visit a store's website and Facebook page to make sure this a store you want to do business with. Also make sure they have the type of gowns you want at the price you want to pay.

Know yourself. Before you step inside one store, be sure you've had a talk with yourself. During the planning of a wedding there will be a lot of opinions thrown at you, but remember, YOURS is the one that truly matters. Decide now what you will take to heart and what you'll take with a grain of salt. If you really want a red wedding dress... or a ridiculously long cathedral train... or a big flower headpiece... don't let anyone discourage you. It's YOUR wedding.

Once you've done some planning, give us a call. We'll be happy to help you find the dress you've been dreaming of!

Best Wedding Wishes,
