First Fitting


I recently shared in the joy of attending the first dress fitting with one of my brides and loved every minute of it. My absolute favorite moment is watching a bride put on her very own dress on for the first time and then seeing that noticeable expression of excitement in her face. I also love it when the mother of the bride, friends and other families attend to support the bride and gush over the dress. I always encourage this!

Attending the first fitting can also be nerve-wracking, so here are a few tips to make the appointment go smoothly:
1.) Bring the shoes and undergarments that you are going to wear the day of the wedding.
2.) Bring a few different jewelry pieces to try on with the dress.
3.) If you have it, bring along your veil and/or headpiece just to get a feel for the full picture.
4.) Always bring a camera and family or friends!
5.) Take along your wedding planner to make suggestions on the bustle or fit of the dress.
