Dress shopping today!

Alma, on January 18, 2020 at 10:14 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Today’s my first ever bridal appointment! I’ve been looking forward to this day forever and find it to be the most exciting part of planning. However...I am feeling so anxious and nervous and idk why! I was tossing and turning all night and having nightmares about it....what is wrong with me??? Lmao!

    It's a big moment! Next to the ring, the dress is the big purchase that gets to show off your personality. All dresses are beautiful though, and you should feel honored to wear any of them! Be open to anything, try on a lot of different styles, and be ready to sleep on the decision. Good luck!

    Because it’s exciting and nerve-wracking! And it means you’re getting married. 😁


    Take a bottle of water with you. Be open to trying on different styles. Take pics. And have fun!

    Daughter was thrilled when she found her perfect dress in the fourth bridal salon we visited, but we were both a little sad because we had SO MUCH FUN dress shopping! Just enjoy it! I agree about bringing a water bottle, and taking your time. If you are not 1000% convinced, do not commit to a dress the first time you try it on -- it will be there later.... Make sure you eat, and if your hair is long, be prepared to be able to pull it back or put it up quickly because you will get hot. Don't bring anyone with you who is going to stress you out or irritate you. Mostly, relax, have fun, take LOTS of pictures in every dress, and enjoy every second! Good luck! Smiley heart

    It's ok! It's a totally new experience for you and new experiences are both exciting and a bit scary!


    I only went to one bridal shop (ended up finding my dress on StillWhite shortly after) but it was so much fun! I almost wish I could go dress shopping more, but admittedly looking at dresses now is a bit less nerve wracking because there is no pressure to find "the one" vs when I was actually looking there was a bit of me that was worried I wouldn't find anything I really liked.

    Just try to take it all in and enjoy your day!

    It’s normal I felt nervous and nauseous too. Just with previous comments. Explore different types of dresses, dress comfortable because trying on dresses gets tiring, and I suggest having a little bit of makeup/your hair done just so you kinda get a glimpse of how you’ll look that day. Don’t settle for the one that day unless you truly feel it in your gut sleep on it and if you still feel like you love then go back and get it (: and most importantly have fun!
