Welcome to Gigi’s Bridal, where we celebrate the joyous journey of finding the perfect wedding dress. At Gigi’s Bridal, we understand that choosing the gown for your special day is a momentous occasion filled with excitement, emotions, and dreams. As a bride-to-be, you deserve an unforgettable experience that reflects your unique style and showcases your inner radiance. In this blog, we aim to simplify your wedding gown shopping experience and equip you with the confidence to discover your bridal look.
At Gigi’s Bridal we are strong advocates for bride empowerment and if that means coming solo to your bridal appointment, we support you. You don't have to bring anyone with you when wedding dress shopping if you prefer to go alone. It's entirely up to you and your personal preference. Some brides enjoy the independence and freedom to make decisions on their own, while others appreciate the support and opinions of loved ones. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and what matters most is that you feel comfortable and confident during the shopping experience.
If you do opt to bring an entourage when wedding dress shopping here are a few things to consider:
When deciding how many people to bring with you to wedding dress shopping, consider the following factors:
Support and opinions: Think about who you trust and value their opinions. Choose people who will provide productive feedback and support you in finding the perfect dress. The people you choose to bring should be supportive and encouraging. Wedding dress shopping can be an emotional and important decision-making process, and having the right people by your side can make it more enjoyable and less stressful.
Size of the entourage: The number of people a bride brings to her wedding dress shopping appointments can vary. Some brides prefer to keep it intimate and only bring one or two close family members or friends, while others prefer to bring along a larger group of bridesmaids and other loved ones. Keep in mind that bringing too many people can lead to conflicting opinions and overwhelming advice. A smaller group can make the decision-making process easier.
Once you have decided who will join you on this journey, here are some tips when it comes to setting and holding boundaries:
Express your preferences: Let your entourage know your preferences regarding their involvement in the decision-making process. Clearly communicate whether you want their opinions or if you prefer to make the final decision yourself. Consider asking your group to hold any initial reactions or comments on the gown until you’ve had time to think and share your own opinion on the gown first.
Respect your own opinions: Remember that it's your wedding dress, and ultimately, your opinion matters the most. Trust your instincts and don't let others sway you if their preferences don't align with your vision. This can be difficult amidst the chatter so head to our next piece of advice on how to navigate the noise.
Take breaks if needed: If the shopping experience becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to take breaks or step away to gather your thoughts and refocus. It's essential to prioritize your emotional well-being during this process. At Gigi’s Bridal you can walk out with the gown the same day you say yes to the dress. Don’t let the stress of a timeline deter you from taking a break and recentering yourself amidst an overwhelming situation.
Extra tip: Let your stylist know if you’re getting overwhelmed. Your stylist is trained to recalibrate the appointment to ensure you are in a healthy space while trying on wedding gowns.
Ultimately, the decision should be based on who you trust, who will support you, and what will make the experience enjoyable for you. Remember, it's your special day, and your opinion matters the most.
