When going to a bridal shop for the first time, your best bet is to choose someone formal dresses online whose opinion you absolutely 100% trust. You should include others only when you have narrowed down your options. *
The reasons are as follows:
If you bring 6 people, you're likely to get 6 different opinions. While well meant, all of these comments can get confusing and even frustrating! Brides often think they have to include all the bridesmaids, their grandmothers, mothers, sisters, future mother-in-laws, aunts and cousins when shopping for a wedding dress. This party can quickly take the focus off the bride and into a cluster...and before you know it, grandma is trying on a veil, auntie is playing with a tiara, and your sweet little flower girl is hiding under a display gown. A bride naturally wants to make everyone happy, and they all want to be the ones who choose her gown. When choosing who to shop with you, don't feel obligated to involve everyone in the decision. Pick one or two people who know you best and care about you the most. Choose those who will be you, not them. No pushy ones, thanks! You just want tears of joy -- not tears of confusion. Remember, this is what you will be wearing for the day. enjoy! !
* Avoid getting overwhelmed by trying on too many dresses. Sooner or later, they all look the same. Limit your fittings to one of each shape and give yourself an overall idea of what works best for your body. Try on ball gowns, petites, A-lines, mermaids, fitted flares. Experiment with different necklines and sleeve options. Try on a skirt with a veil. Adding a veil instantly changes the look. If you think you need sleeves, maybe a veil will suffice. The best way to handle clothing shopping without disappointment is to set a budget and stick to it. It's always a good idea to tell your stylist your budget before you start trying on dresses.
