Shopping for your perfect gown!

As bridal shop owner I have some suggestions and advice for that day(s) you shop for your wedding gown.

Call ahead - make an appointment if you know your schedule. If you do walk-in, be aware that some stores may turn you away. Or you may end up waiting for a dressing room and service until they become available.

Bring only one or two people with you. Don't go alone. But too many people have too many opinions and it will get confusing. Remember this is YOUR decision.

Shop for YOUR gown. Leave the bridesmaids, flowergirl, and tuxedo decisions until you have chosen your style.

Do not bring young children. They do not have the attention span and you will not be able to watch over them. You will have a more enjoyable experience when you don’t have to keep chasing them out of the racks.

Do try on many different styles! Gowns look very different on YOU! Narrow your choices down to a few "maybe" gowns and retry them...after a few dresses - it gets confusing as to how each looked. Take photos if the shop will allow it - (many will not).

Use a strapless bustier if the shop can provide you with your size.

If you like a fuller skirt - try the dress with an extra crinoline.

Ask the consultant to show you how a bustle might look.

Finally - always pick out your veil/tiara with your gown for the full effect and color match!

HAVE FUN!
