​​Tips & Advice
T: Set a budget... then stick to it! Regardless of how much you are willing to spend on a gown, you should have a "not to exceed" dollar amount. Be open with your stylist on what this number is to ensure that you are being shown all the best options. ​
T: Do some research! We cannot stress this enough. In Pittsburgh, brides are fortunate to have so many different bridal boutiques that offer many designers at different price points. In order to maximize your experience and options, you should make an appointment at the store that has the most options in your desired styles and price points.
T: Don't chase the "feeling". Sometimes clients get so wrapped up in attaining that "It's the one feeling" that they add unneeded pressure on themselves. Dress shopping should be fun and stress free but most importantly, it's whatever you want it to be. Some clients get emotional, some don't. Some clients instantly know it's the one, some clients need some time to think about it. Some times your crew loves your choice, sometimes they don't... and guess what, it's all ok. Just because you didn't cry or perhaps it wasn't your mom's favorite dress, doesn't mean that it's not the one or that the experience wasn't as special. So say YES and let us pop the bubbly for you!
T: It's ok to say YES to the first dress!! It actually happens all the time. ​
