Holidays are just around the corner...the time of year you've been looking forward to since January! In wedding planning, it can also be a time for you to cross off items from your list, relax, and spend time with family. And if you’re newly engaged, this is a super popular time to go wedding dress shopping!
Oftentimes, people are home for the holidays and spending time with loved ones who they don’t get to see year-round, which feels like the perfect opportunity to get your loved ones together to help find your dream wedding dress. It’s important to keep a few things in mind if you’re in this scenario!
First of all, it’s important to know that most bridal shops are by appointment only. You might not expect it, but bridal shops get super busy during the holidays! For this reason, you’ll want to book your appointment far in advance to make sure you have a spot if you want to shop during the holiday season.
Also, we find that many brides are shopping for their dresses in cities other than where they live. This is totally fine! However, you should keep in mind that even if you aren’t planning to buy your dress at the shop you try it on at, you should have them take your measurements anyway, just in case. The reason for this is because you might find that you can’t order that dress at another shop! And if you aren’t physically able to visit that store again in a few weeks because you live out of town, it’s helpful for them to have your measurements so you don’t have to worry about going back to get your dream dress fitted.
As long as you’re open and up-front with your bridal consultant, everything should go super smoothly during your wedding dress shopping experience over the holidays!
