Have you said yes? Is the date set? Is your biggest concern at the moment finding THE dress?
The one you have long imagined, dreamed of.
The one that will be with you throughout this magical and unique day. We are offering you a few tips today so that your first wedding dress fittings are both pleasant and productive.
Creating a bespoke wedding dress takes time! Between the moment you first walk into one of our two showrooms and the moment you walk down the aisle with misted eyes, several months will pass. Ideally between 9 and 12! Therefore, we highly recommend that you book your first fittings about a year before the big day.
While some brides-to-be have a precise idea of the wedding dress of their dreams, others do not.
Therefore, it is important to do some scouting beforehand.
Select the styles you like on our site and do not focus on a single dress: you might be disappointed if it doesn't suit you. Also, don't forget to define a maximum budget to spend on your dress beforehand.
This is to avoid any disillusionment.
For your fittings, you can be accompanied by your mother, your sister, your maid of honor, or even your best friend. But it is not always easy to get good advice from those close to you.
Yet, amidst all this lace, it is crucial that a bride-to-be is well supported. Whether she is indecisive or not, for that matter.
Many brides-to-be have had a precise idea of the dress they wanted only to change their minds at the mere sight of their "precious" one. We therefore advise you to come accompanied by one or two people. No more. The more opinions there are, the more lost a bride-to-be becomes and the less constructive the fittings are. Choose trusted people who are sincere, kind, and have good taste.
Loved ones who know you well and who understand that this is not their wedding dress, but yours.
Brides-to-be don't necessarily think about it, but it is important to dress up for your fittings. This is to help you visualize yourself:
light makeup to look your best, grooming to feel comfortable, pretty white or nude lingerie, heels similar to the ones you will wear on the big day, a small bun...
Be careful with foundation or overly bold lipstick to avoid staining the wedding dresses.
Your first wedding dress fittings are a unique, important, and emotional moment.
Savor them, enjoy them! Get into your own bubble.
Take your time! Be open to suggestions. During your fittings, don't hesitate to move: walk, sit down, raise your arms, and even dance!
