Tips
What to Expect During Your First Appointment with Us!
We asked our expert stylists to put together their best tips to ensure your upcoming bridal appointment is nothing less than magical.
So, leave it to us to let you in on our Top 5 Secrets to wedding dress shopping!
FIRST APPOINTMENT?
DON’T BE NERVOUS!
#1 Trust us when we say, we get it! First-time appointments can be nerve wracking. From beginning to end, your stylist will be #teambride and guide you through the in’s and out’s of wedding dress shopping. We’ll be here to help you get all the jitters out, so your dress journey will be uniquely yours.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
#2 To help you envision how your gown will fit post-alterations, we find it best for our brides to wear the undergarments they feel most comfortable wearing the day of the wedding to the appointment.
STYLIST TIP:
Nude, seamless panties are your new best friend! Steer clear of wearing prints or neon’s to your appointment as they are not the best accessory to your wedding dress. We’ll help you find something sparkly instead!
WE DON’T ALLOW CHAMPAGNE, BUT…
#3 We love celebrating with a glass of bubbly, but accidents can happen (we get it!) and because we sell our gowns off-the-rack, we want to ensure that the dresses stay in their original condition.
Instead, when you say YES to your dress, we gift our brides with our Aisle Chic goodie bag; filled with all the inspiration and essentials needed in preparation for the big day!
WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.
#4 Falling in love during your first appointment is completely normal! Trust us when we say we’ve seen it happen – A LOT. Lucky for you we have a team of stylists that are passionate and over the moon to help you find your dream dress!
Keep in mind, every bride’s reaction to the one is very different. Like they say, “when you know, you know”. Whether there are tears or not, it’s all about what makes you feel beautiful for the day you envision.
YOUR “YES” CREW
#5 We understand how important it is to share this experience with your crew, but having too many opinions can get confusing. We suggest bringing one to four of your biggest cheerleaders, whose opinions matter most to you. Your voice and vision are our top priorities, which means, your stylist will always be team bride. We got you, babe!
P.S. We can’t wait to meet you!
Let’s start shopping!
