Shopping for a wedding gown should be one of the most FUN experiences in the entire wedding planning process! When a bride finds herself with that coveted ring on her finger, she is usually more than excited to begin the hunt for the perfect "gown of all gowns"!! However, just as many brides find themselves overwhelmed and unsure where to start! J&B would like to dedicate our next few blog posts to helping new brides know where to start when beginning the journey of finding the perfect gown.
First, a few tips of advice:
1. Do some research
Magazines and the internet are two of the best places to begin. J&B Bridals has links to all of our designers on our website for this very reason. We want to make it as easy as possible for brides to have some exposure to the styles of wedding gowns that are out there and available! Bring pictures with you to J&B, or contact your consultant ahead of time with styles that you like, so that your consultant will be better prepared to know what kinds of styles you think you would like to try on.
2. Schedule an appointment
Although an appointment is not necessary at J&B, it is extremely helpful. Most appointments last around 90 minutes but can be as short as 45 minutes or can last up to 2 hours. It is helpful to know that Saturday appointments book up the quickest, so it is a good idea to call at least one week ahead of time if you are scheduling a Saturday appointment. You will find a little more breathing room for appointments during the week and on evenings, as the store is not quite as busy during those times as on Saturdays. Please keep all of this in mind as you schedule your appointment.
3. Bring a small group of people with you
Some brides think that the more people they have with them at their appointment, the easier it will be for them to decide on their gown. The opposite is actually true. You should bring only one or two other people with you, such as your mom, best friend, sister, etc., and make sure they are people whose opinions you value and trust. Many times, the more people you bring to your appointment, the more opinions you will get and the more confused you will get. Keep in mind, no matter who is with you at your appointment, that it is YOU who has to be in love with the dress!
