HERE ARE OUR 3 BEST TIPS FOR HAVING A POSITIVE WEDDING DRESSES APPOINTMENT.

1. KNOWING YOUR BUDGET

   Knowing ahead how much you want to spend on your dream wedding dress saves time, energy, and disappointment.

It is also a good way to narrow down your search. A good bridal consultant will not stray from the amount you have given her or tempt you to try on a more expensive dress.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUPPORT TEAM
   Choose who you ask to attend your wedding dresses appointment carefully. More is not necessarily better.

It is completely understandable to want to include all the important ladies in your life when you go dress shopping. However, when too many offer opinions, a bride can become overwhelmed. Most brides bring family members or close friends. There is no set rule. Choose individuals who will offer you constructive feedback, listen to you, and make the experience enjoyable.

3. BE OPEN-MINDED
   Say yes to trying on a number of different wedding dresses styles. Even trying on one style that you feel may not suit you confirms or, to your surprise, changes your view.

Remember, your consultant is there to encourage you to think out of your comfort zone for just a short while. Not every bride becomes emotional. If you are loving the look of a dress but are waiting for tears to flow, it may not happen. Ask yourself, how does this dress make me feel, and is this how I want to look on my wedding day?

Choosing the right wedding dresses for your special day is no doubt an important decision. It can be stressful and unenjoyable or, with a little planning on your part, a wonderfully positive experience. Go to your appointment prepared with a budget, a good support team, and the right attitude. Relax...you got this....make those ninety minutes count!
