5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR BRIDESMAID APPOINTMENT
You're engaged! But now what? Planning a wedding can be fun, but stressful at the same time. Choosing your bridesmaids dresses could be close to the top of that list. No worries! We have all the tips and tricks to help your bridesmaid shopping experience be the best that it can be.
#1 Have ideas!
When you come to your bridesmaid appointment, it helps your stylist know what you want and envision for your special day when you have ideas! Since we have closed inventory, coming with ideas of colors, fabrics, or even having different pictures for inspiration can be a big help.
#2 There is no golden number of bridesmaids
When choosing the number of bridesmaids, there is no perfect number. We have styled groups anywhere from 1 to 10 people! We do think it’s fun, though, that bigger groups experiment with different fabrics and colors.
#3 Ordering your dresses can take time
We always recommend ordering your bridesmaid dresses at least 5 months before your wedding. This is because there is about a 3 to 4 month production/shipping time. That also gives time for any alterations to be done.
#4 Always call for questions!
If you ever have any questions prior to or after your appointment, do not hesitate to call. We are more than happy to assist you with your big day!
#5 There are no rules!
When it comes down to picking your bridesmaid dresses, the choice is yours. No matter the season or trends, we have lots of options to help you create a one of a kind bridal party look. Your wedding is a representation of you, so have fun with it!
