What to Wear to Your Bridal Appointment (and What to Bring!)

Your bridal appointment is finally here—yay! 🎉 But before you step into a salon full of dreamy gowns, let’s talk about what to wear and what to bring so you can have the best experience possible.

Because let’s be real—you want to feel comfortable and fabulous while hunting for the dress!

What to Wear to Your Bridal Appointment 👗

1. Nude or Light-Colored Undergarments 👙

A strapless or convertible bra works best for different dress styles.
Seamless nude underwear will help avoid any visible lines.
If you plan on wearing shapewear on your wedding day, bring it to see how dresses fit over it! We have it and will get you into ours for now!

🎯 Why? You’ll be changing in and out of dresses, and the right undergarments will give you a smoother look!

2. Comfy, Easy-to-Remove Clothing 🧥

A button-down shirt or a loose-fitting top is ideal—easy on, easy off!
Leggings or comfy pants make quick changes a breeze.

🎯 Why? You’ll be trying on multiple gowns, so avoid anything that’s fussy or takes forever to remove!

3. The Right Shoes 👠

If you already have your wedding shoes, bring them!
Otherwise, bring shoes in a similar heel height to what you plan to wear on your big day.

🎯 Why? Hemlines matter, and you’ll want to see how the dress falls with the right shoes!

4. Minimal Makeup & Simple Hairstyling 💄

Light makeup is fine, but avoid heavy foundation that could transfer onto dresses.
Style your hair in a way similar to what you’re considering for the wedding.
Bring a hair clip or tie in case you want to test how a dress looks with an updo.

🎯 Why? You’ll want to get the full bridal effect—without leaving foundation stains behind!

What to Bring to Your Bridal Appointment 🎒

1. Inspiration Photos 📸

Bring pictures of dresses you love—screenshots, Pinterest boards, or magazine clippings.
But keep an open mind! Your dream dress might be one you never expected.

🎯 Why? Your consultant will use these to pull dresses that match your vision!

2. A Trusted Crew (But Not Too Many!) 👯‍♀️

Bring 1-3 people whose opinions matter most—too many voices can get overwhelming!
Pick supportive, positive people who will hype you up and be honest without being harsh.

🎯 Why? This is your moment, and your squad should make it even more special!

3. A Budget in Mind 💰

Know your dress budget before you go (and include alterations, taxes, and accessories!).
Let your consultant know your price range so they can pull dresses within your comfort zone.

🎯 Why? Falling in love with a dress way over budget = heartbreak. We don’t want that!

4. Hair Accessories or a Veil (If You Have One!) 👑

Already have a family heirloom veil or hairpiece? Bring it to see how it pairs with dresses!
If not, don’t worry—your salon will have plenty of options to try!

🎯 Why? The right accessories can bring your whole bridal look together.
