Wedding Dress Try-On Tips
***
You’re seeing a sea of white, off-white, ivory, cream, sparkle, lace, satin, tulle, mermaid, A-line and princess dresses blur before your eyes, you’ve got 10 people asking you questions you don’t have the answers to and 5 more giving you their unsolicited opinions and you’ve only just walked through the door!
It’s like trying on shoes with the shop assistant stood over you – we’ve all been there – feeling like we can’t say what we’re really thinking, aka “they look like clown shoes, get them off me!” and wishing we hadn’t put on our Hello Kitty socks that morning. Breathe. Bride Society are coming to the rescue with our top wedding dress try-on tips to help you seamlessly glide through your first wedding dress-shopping appointment. From our collective experience of dress shopping for our own weddings, we picked up a few ideas about how to make those appointments go smoothly and how to get the most out of them.
Oh, and first things first, our very first insider tip – usually bridal boutiques are by appointment only, particularly if you want to try a dress on and Saturdays are their busiest day, so book ahead on the off-chance you see something interesting when you’re browsing. Appointments usually last up to an hour, so that typically works out somewhere in the region of 4 to 5 dresses. We hope that helps!
