Wedding dress shopping is one of the most exciting moments in a bride’s planning journey. Finding the perfect gown can feel magical, but to ensure the experience goes smoothly, it’s essential to come prepared. Whether you’re visiting a boutique for the first time or attending multiple appointments, having a checklist can make all the difference. Here’s what to pack for your wedding dress shopping experience.
1. The Right Undergarments
One of the most important things to bring is the appropriate undergarments. Choose items that you plan to wear on your wedding day, such as a strapless bra or seamless underwear. Avoid anything too bulky or patterned, as it might interfere with how the dress fits. If you’re considering a specific style of dress (like a backless gown), bring undergarments that match that style to get an accurate sense of how the dress will look on you.
2. Comfortable Shoes
While it might be tempting to wear your favorite heels, remember that you’ll likely be trying on several dresses throughout the appointment. Opt for comfortable shoes, preferably those that are similar in height to what you plan to wear on your wedding day. This will help you gauge the overall feel of each gown, especially if you want to see how it flows when walking.
3. Inspiration Photos
Having a collection of inspiration photos can be incredibly helpful. Bring along images of dresses you love or styles you’re considering. This will give your bridal consultant a better understanding of your taste and help them guide you toward options that fit your vision. It also serves as a great starting point for discussing what you love and don’t love about specific designs.
4. A Notebook or App for Notes
Wedding dress shopping can be overwhelming with so many styles to consider. Bring a notebook or use your phone to jot down notes about each dress you try on. Write down what you liked, any concerns, and how each dress made you feel. This will help you remember each option and make a more informed decision later on.
5. Supportive Friends or Family
While not a physical item to pack, don’t forget to bring along a trusted friend or family member for support. Choose someone whose opinion you value, but also who will encourage you to stay true to your vision. Their feedback can be invaluable as you try on various styles.
