What to Bring
You’ve booked your appointment at The White Rose Bridal &
Formal Wear and you’re counting down the days until you try on all of those
gorgeous gowns—but the question is, what do you bring to your appointment? Make
sure to check these items off your list so you’re set for a successful day of
wedding dress shopping.
1. Inspiration
Bringing along wedding
dress inspiration to your appointment is very important. Some great ways to
share your wedding inspiration are through your Personal Wish List from our
website, your personal Pinterest board, printing out photos or
telling your consultant all about your favorite designer. If you’re not sure
about what you’re looking for, sharing venue, decoration or theme ideas can
help your consultant lead you in the right direction to making that perfect
wedding gown selection.
2. Proper undergarments
While shape-wear and the perfect bra aren’t totally necessary until
your first fitting, feeling and looking your best will ultimately help you feel
more confident to find the dress of your dreams. We suggest bringing along or
wearing a supportive nude strapless or convertible bra, seamless nude underwear
(such as boy-shorts, thong, or high cut underwear), as well as any shape-wear
you’d like to wear under your dress. There are plenty of shape-wear options out
there, so keep this in mind before you arrive at The White Rose Bridal for your
appointment. You’re also more than welcome to not use a bra if you don’t plan to
wear one on your wedding day as most dresses have the structure to support you
without one.
3. Hair ties & clips
By pulling your hair up
with a hair tie or clip it will help you
envision your wedding day look if you choose to wear an up-do. Pulling your hair
up will also keep your hair our of the way for you to be more comfortable and
cooler.
4. Your squad
Make sure you bring along a few close family members and friends
to help you “Say Yes”. Keep in mind though that less is definitely more—too
many opinions from eager family members and friends can ultimately make your
decision tougher. Do not put on dress just because she is your best friend that is not what you are looking for. It makes saying yes harder.
Finally, come with a
relative idea of how much you’d like to spend on a dress. Your wedding dress is
definitely a very important part of your wedding day, after all pictures are
forever.
4. REMEMBER
Remember while you are
shopping at The White Rose Bridal that it is located in Minnesota, where there
is NO SALES TAX on clothing!!
