Q: Do you have any advice for brides starting their dress search?

Our Steps:

First, secure your date and venue first before you begin your gown search. It is difficult to decide on your gown when you can’t picture where and when you are getting married.

Second, research the bridal stores that you are interested in before you book an appointment. You want to be sure that their aesthetic, price point and experience match your vision.

Lastly, have an open mind and bring the “right people”. Once you select your bridal store, trust that the stylist has your best interest at heart and will help to guide you to the right gowns. Invite 2-3 friends/family who understand your personal style, your budget, and the vision for your wedding, so that they can be a support system during the gown selection process.
