Hi everyone! I've commented on a few posts, but this is the first query that I'm posing to the group. My mom and sister are flying in town to go wedding dress shopping with me. I have 3 appointments lined up while they are here. I didn't invite any of my friends because I'm doing a destination wedding and they are already traveling for that. also don't what their opinions of trends to get in the way of how I want to look on my big day. I don't have similar fashion tastes to my mom or sister, but they want to be part of this "experience" with me.
I don't have a budget for my dress but I don't want to spend obscene money either. I've flagged a few dresses that I like online, but I don't know how they will look on my body, or how they will tolerate a summer wedding in Florida.
What should I do or prepare to bring to a bridal appointment? How many appointments is a good amount to feel like I'm ready to commit? Should I try to buy a dress while my family is here, or wait and go by myself to know my true decision? I don't feel like I need to see a lot of dresses, but I don't want to settle or rush myself because my family is in town. What should I do to prepare for my appointments? What should I expect? (And no, I did not go to prom, so this is my first fancy dress!)
