How to Prepare for Your First Bridal Appointment

Your first bridal appointment is the moment when you begin discovering which wedding dress truly complements your body, personal style and personality.

To help you enjoy the experience and make the most of your appointment, we have prepared a few useful tips.

Before Your Bridal Appointment

Think About Your Wedding Style

Before your appointment, it is helpful to know as much as possible about:

• your wedding date and location,
• the style of the ceremony and reception,
• whether the wedding will take place in a church, an estate, by the sea or at another type of venue,
• whether you are interested in renting or purchasing your wedding dress,
• the budget range you would feel comfortable with.

This information helps our bridal consultants recommend dresses that are suitable for both your vision and the practical needs of your wedding.

Bring Inspiration Photos

You are welcome to save and bring photographs of wedding dresses, fabrics, silhouettes or details that you love.

You do not need to know exactly what you are looking for. Inspiration images simply help us understand your taste and the overall aesthetic you are drawn to.

At the same time, we encourage you to keep an open mind. Very often, the dress that suits a bride best is different from the style she originally imagined.

What to Wear to Your Appointment

To help you see the fit and structure of each wedding dress more clearly, we recommend wearing:

• nude or skin-tone underwear,
• seamless or laser-cut underwear,
• a simple bra without heavy padding, if wearing one makes you feel more comfortable,
• comfortable clothes that are easy to remove.

Most wedding dresses include built-in cups, support or a structured corset. For this reason, there is no need to purchase special bridal underwear or shapewear before choosing your dress.

You do not need to bring your wedding shoes to your first bridal appointment.

Your wedding shoes will be required from your first alterations fitting, so that the final length of your dress can be adjusted correctly.

Hair, Makeup and Body Products

A light, natural makeup look can help you feel polished and confident during your appointment.

However, please avoid:

• heavy foundation,
• intense lipstick,
• self-tanning products,
• body oils,
• glitter or heavily pigmented body products.

These products may transfer onto the delicate fabrics of the wedding dresses.

We also recommend wearing your hair in a simple, well-groomed style that can easily be pinned up or moved away from your shoulders. This will help you see different necklines, sleeves and back details more clearly.

Who Should Come With You?

You may bring up to two adult guests to your bridal appointment.

Choose people whose opinions you trust and who will support you in discovering the dress that feels right for you.

Too many different opinions can sometimes create confusion and make the decision more difficult rather than easier.

For reasons of safety, comfort and the smooth running of the appointment, our bridal boutique is not suitable for babies or children.

During Your Bridal Appointment

Your bridal consultant will discuss your preferences, wedding plans, needs and budget with you before recommending dresses that may suit your silhouette and personal style.

You do not need to know the names of different wedding dress silhouettes, fabrics or construction techniques.

Our team will guide you throughout the entire experience and help you explore different options.

Some wedding dresses look completely different when worn than they do on a hanger or in a photograph. Allow yourself to try some of the suggestions made by your bridal consultant, even when they are different from what you originally had in mind.

Important Information About Your Visit

• Please arrive at the scheduled time so that you can enjoy the full duration of your appointment.
• In the event of a late arrival, the available appointment time may need to be reduced, as other appointments may follow.
• If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us as early as possible.
• Food, coffee and other drinks are not permitted in the wedding dress area.
• Photography and video recording are not permitted during wedding dress try-ons.

Most Importantly

Come to your appointment without stress and without feeling that you must make an immediate decision.

The purpose of your first bridal appointment is to get to know you, understand your vision and discover together the silhouettes, fabrics and details that make you feel your most beautiful.

The right wedding dress is not simply the one that looks beautiful.

It is the dress in which you feel comfortable, confident, radiant and completely yourself.

We look forward to welcoming you and becoming part of this very special experience.
