What to Bring to Your Bridal Appointment

Your bridal appointment is one of the most exciting steps in wedding planning! It’s the moment when your dream of walking down the aisle in the perfect gown starts to become a reality. To help you feel prepared, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the experience, we’ve created this guide on what to bring—and how to make the most of your time at Love Spell Bridal.

 Essential Items to Bring

A Strapless Bra: While many bridal gowns come with built-in support, trying dresses with a strapless bra ensures you’ll get a better idea of how each gown will fit. It also makes it easier to try on gowns with different necklines without distractions from visible straps.

Nude or Seamless Underwear: Nude, seamless underwear works best for trying on gowns, especially those made from lightweight or sheer fabrics. This will help you get a true sense of how the dress looks without visible lines or bright colors peeking through.

Shoes with a Similar Heel Height: If you already know what type of shoes you’ll wear on your wedding day (or have a good idea of the heel height), bring a pair along. This helps give a more accurate sense of how the dress will fall and allows you to picture your overall bridal look.

Hair Accessories or a Simple Hair Tie: If you have a veil, headpiece, or any hair accessories you’re considering wearing, feel free to bring them along! If not, a simple hair tie or clip works well so you can easily experiment with different hairstyles during the appointment.

Inspiration Photos: Bring photos of dresses you’ve seen and loved—whether from magazines, Pinterest, or Instagram. Sharing your vision helps our consultants understand your style preferences, making it easier to pull gowns that match your dream look.

 Tips to Maximise Your Appointment Experience

Be Open-Minded: While it’s great to have a clear idea of what you want, it’s also important to stay open to different styles. Many brides end up choosing a gown they never expected to love! Trust your consultant’s expertise—they’ll guide you toward options that fit your vision while introducing you to new possibilities.

Keep Your Entourage Small: Bringing too many people can lead to conflicting opinions, which might make your decision harder. We recommend inviting 2 to 4 supportive and positive friends or family members who know your style and will encourage you.

Take Photos: If your bridal salon allows it, take photos of the dresses you try on, especially those you’re considering. Seeing how a dress looks in photos can help you decide and give you a new perspective after your appointment.

Communicate Your Preferences: Don’t be afraid to speak up during your appointment. Whether you love a specific style or want to try something completely different, your consultant is there to help you find your perfect dress. Sharing your thoughts throughout the appointment helps make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
