Finding the perfect wedding dress is one of the most important and emotional parts of planning your wedding. But, who you bring with you to your bridal appointment can make a big difference in your overall experience. There are no set rules for who you are or aren’t obligated to bring to the appointment; it’s completely up to you as a bride.
Here at Blu Rayne Bridal Boutique, we understand the importance of having the right support team by your side, and we want to share with you a guide on who to bring with you to your bridal appointment.
Close Friends or Family
It's important to have a few close friends or family members with you that you trust and who have a good sense of your personal style. Wedding dress shopping is emotional and exciting, make sure loved ones whose opinions you cherish are a part of this process! They will be able to offer honest opinions and support throughout the process. You absolutely do not want them to miss that “Say Yes!” moment!
Mother or Mother-in-Law
The mother or future mother-in-law can be a great addition to your support team. They can provide a unique perspective and sentimental value to the dress shopping experience.
Maid of Honor or Bridesmaids
Your maid of honor or bridesmaids can be a great addition to your support team. They will be by your side on your wedding day and it's important to have their input on the dress. Before your appointment make sure to tell your people to bring the energy!! Dress shopping should be a fun experience; full of love, laughs, and good vibes!
A Word of Advice
While who to bring with you is important we want to make a note of who we do not recommend bringing with you. We recommend leaving young children at home and keeping your entourage small. A pro tip is offering to FaceTime loved ones in lieu of bringing them with you after you have said yes to the dress. This way it alleviates conflicting opinions during the try-on process while still including the special people within your life!
Remember to choose people that you trust, who have a good sense of your personal style, and who will be honest and supportive throughout the process. However, having the right support team is crucial to finding the perfect dress and making the best memories!
