Start with an Open Mind
It’s great to have a vision, but don’t be afraid to try something unexpected! Many brides fall in love with a gown they never imagined wearing. Let yourself be pleasantly surprised!
Do Your Homework - But Don’t Overdo It
A little research goes a long way. Browse Pinterest, Instagram, and designer websites to get an idea of what you like. But don’t get too caught up in the details - your stylist will help you discover what truly flatters you.
Limit Your Entourage
We know it’s tempting to invite everyone, but too many opinions can make things overwhelming. Bring a small group of supportive people who know your style and will help you feel your best.
