This might be one of the most fun topics we’ll talk about on the blog because hello, shopping! Shopping is typically a girl’s best friends, second to her significant other of course! You’ve got your ring, save the dates are sent out, and perhaps one of the most talked about things on the wedding to-do list comes next, finding your dream dress. We all dream about this day when we’re younger, and anticipating saying yes to the dress is something that leaves our brides sparkling. So let’s talk where to start with wedding gown shopping, some ways to prepare, and some of our favorite places to go in Phoenix!
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!
KEEP YOUR VISION IN MIND
There’s something so exciting about the moment of trying on the dress that just seems like it was made for you. On wedding dress shopping day, you’ll be trying on MANY different styles and kinds of dresses, so it’s important to keep your vision in mind. Think your ideal look and aesthetic and let that come to life by picking different necklines or dress styles that are complementary, imagining the jewelry, makeup, hair, and accessories which will complete your look for the day of! This is the fun part and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
