Said Yes! First Time Dress Advice (Pic Heavy)

Mrs.Goose, on September 15, 2014 at 2:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 24

Hey ladies! This weekend was my first and only dress shop at David's Bridal and I found the DRESS! I'm still in awe that I managed to find one, but so happy I did. I tried on about 14 dresses and this was my last one. I had two styles I was SURE would be for me and turned out neither was great. The staff and my consultant were awesome and at no point did I feel rushed or pressured.

For those who haven't gone yet, a little advice:

- Go early! Our appointment was at 11 and we got there for 10 as I was sure it would be packed on a sat. morning. They not only ended up taking us early, we got way more time because of it.

-Limit how many you take with you. I had my mom/mom in law to be/MOH and 3 bridesmaids. While I didn't have any troubles, it's an extremely overwhelming as it is and less opinions is better. Take people you trust and who will support you.

More advice/pics below!

    -Choose something YOU love. I really had to drown everyone else and focus on what I knew I wanted and didn’t want. It can be extremely easy to listen to everyone else before yourself and it’s so important you don’t. Ultimately, you know yourself and your body best, so keep that in mind and remember to have some fun!

    -Lastly, go from one spectrum to the other. If you’re anything like me, I went in with a few ideas but no concrete dress ideas. I had the consultant put me in the top, most extravagant dress my budget could buy and then had her work me towards more simple dresses. This really helped as I was able to see what almost every style looked like and made making that final choice WAY easier.

    3. Showing off my wedding shoes

    I also did my hair and makeup a little to get a little of the effect. Helped me picture the 'final' product more.

    Thanks ladies! Love having somewhere I can share these pictures!!

    @denise that's the perfect tip aswell! I did mine more subtle and had a clip for my hair if I wanted it half up but never got that far. Anything you can do to recreate the wedding look on your day of shopping sure makes it easier!
