Tips for getting the most out of your bridal boutique appointment

Your bridal boutique appointment is a big moment in the wedding planning process so here are a few tips to make it brilliant:

1. Limit the number of people that you take with you. Endless, and possibly contradictory, opinions won’t help you so just take one or two people who you really trust along with you.
2. Give yourself time to enjoy your appointment. Avoid the temptation to fill your day with lots of appointments at boutiques, just take your time and revel in this special experience.
3. Be upfront about your wedding budget from the outset. You should be able to get an idea on guide prices from the boutique’s website but being open about how much you have to spend means that the boutique stylists can suggest designs that work for your body and for your budget.
4. We know it’s easier said than done but please don’t worry about your body. Bridal appointments should be special and enjoyable, they shouldn’t be filled with anxieties so if you have any worries, speak to your boutique, even before you visit, so that they can put your mind at ease.
5. Always check before hand if you will be allowed to take photographs. Some boutiques are more than happy for you to do so, others prefer you don’t.
