wedding dress - did you know?

Before you begin to search for your wedding dress, there are a few key shopping tips you should know, all of which we highlight below.

Do Your Research!!
It’s safe to assume you’ve had a rotation of dream wedding dresses saved to your pinterest board long before your partner popped the question. If you don’t already have a vision of your ideal gown, though, now’s the time to do your homework. Start by ripping pages out of bridal magazines, scoping out top trends, pinpointing your favorite designers, or gaining inspiration from real brides. Then, make note of commonalities within your favorite finds. Do open backs continue to catch your eye? Embellishments? Lace? Fitted silhouettes? Whatever the theme, hold onto it and bring visuals for your first bridal shop appointment. However, be sure to maintain an open mind—you may fall in love with something that was never even on your radar.

Do your research on your desired bridal shop too—look into each shops designer selection, price point, and the sample sizes they carry to make sure it’s the right fit for your gown allowance and vision. And, as far as bridal sizing goes, don’t let the number on the tag get to your head. Since most bridal designers use a scale that runs on the small side (a size 10 wedding dress translates to a true size 6/8), you’ll end up purchasing a garment that’s about two sizes larger than your usual. With this in mind, feel comfortable shopping for picks in your actual bridal size.
