WAYS TO PREPARE
When it comes to preparing for such a moment as saying yes to the dress, there are a few things to do! One being making an appointment, to ensure a sales consultant will be available to dedicate their attention solely toward you. When choosing an appointment time, also be mindful of how long it may take to receive and alter your dress if needed before the big day! Some other key tips and things to keep in mind are your budget for the dress, letting significant people in your life know when shopping will commence so that they can block out time for you, and wearing minimal makeup and comfy clothes as you’ll be trying on various dresses! Our last pro tip for our brides out there would be to be mindful about fueling up and nourishing yourselves as this can be a long day and we want you to feel your best!
