How to Prepare for Your First Wedding Dress Appointment
Preparing for Your First Appointment at Elegant Brides
Making the Appointment
Congratulations! You’re engaged. You’ve found your perfect venue, and now it’s time to find your perfect wedding dress. First, you’ll need to choose where you’d like to go to get your dress. We recommend making a list of options, so if you don’t find what you love right away, you have other places to search. Your wedding dress is one of the most special pieces of your big day, so it should be perfect!

With any bridal shop you go to , follow their procedure to make a bridal appointment. Some shops also offer walk-in hours (we do), so if you’re in a pinch, you can still come in to find your dream dress.
Preparing for Your Wedding Dress Appointment
Know What Styles you like
Take a look at the bridal shop’s website to see what designers they carry or if they show the specific dresses they offer. See which styles you like and don’t like. See what elements you love and which ones you can’t stand. Additionally, you can look for inspiration on social media sites like Pinterest. Having an idea of what you love is extremely helpful to your bridal stylist!
come with the details of your wedding that you already know
Whatever information you already have about your big day, be willing to share it (as much as you are comfortable). If you know your venue, color palette, theme, and your overall aesthetic, your bridal stylist can help pull dresses that fit those specifications. You deserve to have a wedding dress that is perfect for your big day. Our certified bridal stylists are experts in matching you to your perfect dress, so don’t stress!
Stay open minded
We cannot stress this one enough! You may come into the shop on your appointment day expecting to love one style or design, but walk out having absolutely adored something you may have thought you’d never put on your body. Staying open minded keeps you open to finding styles you may now know you love.
With that being said, it is your body and your wedding day, so of course, you have the final say on what you try on and whether it’s for you. We want you to feel confident and beautiful, and will do our best to make you feel as celebrated and beautiful as you truly are!
