Shopping for your wedding dress is the most memorable moment of your wedding planning. However, it can also be the most overwhelming. Follow these 10-tips to for a stress-free and fun experience!
1. Shop Early
Give yourself as much time as possible between the day you place your wedding dress order and the day of your wedding to allow for special order delivery, necessary alterations, and most importantly, your peace of mind!
2. Make an Appointment
House of Brides salons are full-service meaning a sales consultant provides one-on-one assistance from your first to last visit. Appointments guarantee a sales consultant is available for you, especially on busy sale days.
3. Bring Ideas
The best way to describe your dream dress is with pictures. Check-out dresses in bridal magazines or on houseofbrides.com and show them to your consultant.
4. Choose Attendees Carefully
Invite only a couple of relatives and/ or friends to come with you to the appointment. Choose people whose opinions you trust and will respect your personal style.
5. Wear Undergarments
Your body looks its best in proper undergarments. House of Brides consultants suggest a strapless bra and shaper panties for optimal fit. If you have the undergarments you plan to wear on your big day, wear them! Also, bring shoes with the heel height you think you’ll wear.
6. Wear Make-up
Forget the idea that if you look good in a dress without make-up, it’s the one. Wear make-up to help visualize your overall look. But avoid heavy make-up that might rub off on the dress samples.
7. Eat and Drink
Trying-on wedding dress after wedding dress is hard work! Make sure to eat a light meal and drink plenty of fluids before your appointment.
8. Take a Breather
Brides often try-on up to15 wedding dresses during an appointment! Make sure you take a short break to review the dresses you’ve seen…and breathe! The break will help clear your mind and help make a decision.
9. Buy Your Dress
If you absolutely fall in love with a wedding dress, buy it! Don’t waste your time shopping when you’re sure you’ve found “the one”.
10. Don’t Overdo It
Make another appointment with House of Brides to select your bridal accessories or bridesmaid dresses. Again, finding the dress of your dreams is a lot of work so you deserve a rest in between!
