6 Things to Bring Wedding Dress Shopping

When you’re about to embark on the momentous occasion of choosing your dream wedding dress, it’s essential to be prepared. Knowing exactly what to bring wedding dress shopping ensures your experience is both enjoyable and successful. Just as you’ve visualized that perfect dress, imagine an appointment where everything you need is right at your fingertips. 

With The Wedding Shoppe by your side and this curated list of things to bring wedding dress shopping, you’ll be ready for a fulfilling, luxury bridal shopping experience.

The Right Shoes

While you might not have your wedding shoes yet, it’s a good idea to bring a pair with a heel height similar to what you plan on wearing on your big day. This will give you an accurate picture of the gown’s length and how it moves as you walk.

Preferred Undergarments

What you wear underneath can significantly influence how a dress looks and feels. Bring along any undergarments you’re considering for your wedding day, such as a strapless bra or shaping garments. This ensures the dress fits perfectly and looks its best.

Pasties

For dresses with unique or sheer designs, traditional bras might not work. Pasties are an excellent solution to ensure modesty while trying on various gown styles.

Sticky Cups

Backless, deep plunge, or other daring designs may require additional support. Sticky cups, which adhere to your skin, provide that necessary lift without any visible straps.

Emotional Support Cup

Turn the appointment into a mini-celebration with your favorite drink in an “emotional support cup.” Whether it’s a refreshing iced tea, sparkling water, or even a glass of bubbly, having your favorite drink can help ease any nerves and make the experience even more special. If you don’t want to bring your own beverage, don’t worry—our lobby lounge has champagne, wine, and cocktails for sale!

Your Support System (Guests)

One of the most important things you should bring wedding dress shopping isn’t a thing at all—it’s people! Having loved ones around when you’re making such an important decision can be invaluable. Invite a few close friends or family members who know your style and will provide genuine feedback. Their emotional support and shared excitement will undoubtedly enhance your shopping experience.

Heading out for your bridal gown search can be an incredibly magical experience, especially when you’re well-prepared. Knowing what to bring to wedding dress shopping ensures you have everything necessary to envision your dream look.
