SCHEDULE

Once you found your inspo it is time to schedule your first appointment! Find a local boutique with a great selection of brands, dresses, and great reviews! You may feel tempted to book several appointments at different boutiques, but most shops have over 750 different dresses in their boutiques and can order or loan even more from their designers! Find a store near you using our store locator.

VIP

Consider a VIP appointment, if available, to have the best experience imaginable and invite your best friends and closest family to come along for the party!

SHARE

Share your wedding dress inspo board with your stylist so she can prep for your appointment. Many stores offer pre-appointments so they can get to know your personality to ensure they can deliver the best experience for you in-store. Explore our Pinterest boards and get inspired.

EXPERIMENT

Once at the appointment have a clear and open mind. You may find yourself in love with a gown that was completely different to what you had on your inspiration board and that is okay! If this is your first time trying on wedding dresses, don’t be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone! Keep in mind your stylist is a professional and she can help you find a look that flatters your figure and expresses your personality!
