Trying on gowns sooner than i thought!

Rachel, on October 29, 2020 at 5:30 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

Hi, Everyone -

Since I am going to start looking at gowns starting next month (a LOT sooner than I anticipated), I decided to possibly move up my appointment at the Reno salon to December instead of May. I say possibly because I am waiting for the salon to be in touch as they are going to inquire about having the Lumi and the Hayley gowns shipped to them for me to try on! I am keeping everything crossed that it can be done!

I would rather go in to try those gowns on sooner than later instead of waiting to May (the main reason why I wanted to wait until May is because I was told that shopping any sooner than a year out from my wedding date is too soon, but with Covid, etc. I figured any time is a good time to start... plus I have my list of favorites pretty much nailed down at this point!). Also, having the trunk show gowns fresh in my mind will make it easier for me to make a decision. I highly doubt that I will purchase a gown at my very first trunk show even if there is a discount applied, I don't want to make too rash of a decision.

The salon here in my hometown, while they do carry some HP and Blush by Hayley Paige gowns, they operate a little differently than a bigger salon and I don't think they can have them shipped in for me to try. The Reno salon is only a couple hours drive away so I can easily make the trip in a day. Just my Mom and I would be going, so I am definitely hoping that this can work out!

    That's great that you will be able to try on the dresses you have had your eye on. Hopefully you will be able to narrow it down. I would really caution you on buying something at this time even if you love it, as you have been very fickle between several HP gowns. Your wedding is still a long time from now and HP will have a new collection out next year at this time. I have seen too many brides regret buying their dresses so early and then finding something else they love.
