How to Prepare for your Appointment at The Wedding Bell

Ladies, there are all different kinds of brides out there. Maybe you’re the type that has a binder full of magazine and website photos, articles, and lists. Maybe you’re the type that has known what you want your wedding to look like since you were a little girl. Or, maybe you’re just seeing what types of dresses are out there. No matter what type of bride you are, we at The Wedding Bell are here to help you.

To be prepared for your appointment to try on dresses, there are a few universal preparations you should heed:

1) Wear undergarments you will be comfortable in. A consultant works with you to get the dresses on, and we will provide you with a bustier to wear. So, keep that in mind when making your undergarment choices for the day.

2) Take a few minutes to look at our website, and get an idea of the type of dress you think you would like to try. Your consultant will work with you to help you decide which silhouette you like best. This is easier to do if we have a jumping-off point to begin the search from.

3) Invite a few select people. We recommend no more than 3 people come with you, otherwise, the array of opinions can get overwhelming and confusing.

4) Know how much money you want to spend. If you have a budget in place, your consultant can work with you and make sure the dresses you love are within your price point.

5) Be open to new possibilities. Many times, brides come in with an idea in their head and are thrown off when something new comes along. Don’t be afraid to try lace, even if you don’t think you like it. You’ll be surprised what you’re drawn to once a gown is on you.

6) Get excited! This is a fun and exciting event, and we’ll do our best to make it as stress-free as possible for you and your guests.

7) Last, don’t get frustrated if you don’t have that “Ah-ha!” moment. Most brides don’t! Often, a bride puts on a gown, and loves it more and more after comparing it to other gowns. So, don’t think you haven’t found “the dress” if you weren’t brought to tears by anything immediately. Sometimes, you have to try on other gowns to realize exactly WHY you love another!
