We may be bias, but as Southern Oregon's premier bridal shop, we believe that finding your wedding dress is definitely the best part of wedding planning. But you may be wondering what you need to have with you for your wedding dress shopping experience to be a successful one. If you're ready to begin your wedding dress shopping journey, then read on for tips on what to bring with you to your bridal appointment.
Wedding Dress Inspiration
Before your appointment, you'll want to take some time to gather inspiration for your wedding dress to show your bridal stylist! This will make sure your gown vision is aligned and will equip your stylist with visual representation of what you are drawn to when it comes to wedding gowns. This could be a handful of images on your phone, a full Pinterest board, or your wishlist created on our website full of gowns from designers we carry in store!
We also recommend taking some time to think about how you want to feel on your wedding day! Taking some time to envision the way you want to feel in your wedding dress, not just how you want to look is incredibly helpful when it comes time to finding your perfect dress. Your stylist will use any adjectives you land on to help guide you through our selection and find styles that not only embody the look you hope to achieve, but the feelings that you are imagining for your big day.
Your Support System
When choosing who makes the cut for your "I do" crew focus on the people whose opinions you truly value and who have a grasp on your wedding vision. Don't feel pressured to invite everyone, but instead focus on the select few who will champion you, provide valuable feedback and who support your personal vision.

A Price Point
A clear price point for how much you are willing to spend on your wedding dress is essential. Be honest with your stylist about your comfortable price point. This will ensure that your stylist will only show you styles that fit within your budget. Falling in love with your wedding dress can happen when you least expect it, so it's important to make sure that the styles you are trying on are within your comfortable budget range to avoid any wedding dress heart break.
When deciding on a price point for your wedding dress, make sure to consider the additional costs associated with wedding attire. All gowns will need some alterations, and you'll want to thank about any accessories that will complete the wedding vision. If you've always pictured yourself wearing a veil, make sure you've considered this in your budget range to ensure your full wedding look can be achieved.
An Open Mind
Until you start trying on wedding dresses, it can be hard to really know what you will love! That is why we always recommend that you come into your appointment with an open mind. Having some inspiration and general ideas about what you like in gowns is a great starting point, but putting some trust in your stylist and having an open mind when trying on gowns will also allow for a natural progression into your dream dress. Who knows, you may end up saying yes to a wedding dress you would have never imagined!
