Wedding Dress, Bridal Gown Shopping Etiquette

Now that you're ready to visit Isabelle’s Bridal and other bridal boutiques to try on dresses, here are some hints to help you during your visit:

1 Make an Appointment
Make an appointment one to two weeks in advance with the bridal boutique that you would like to visit. Isabelle’s Bridal tries to accommodate walk-ins, but can not do so all the time.  Isabelle’s along with most bridal boutiques will request that you make an appointment before coming in.

2 Allot Enough Time
Allocate approximately 1-2 hours to try on dresses. Dress shops are very busy on the weekends and may only allow you to try on dresses for an hour. Weekday appointments not quite as busy and ideal if you want to spend more time trying on dresses and talking with your sales person. 

3 Your Entourage
Try to limit the number of people you bring with you to do your bridal gown shopping and again to your fittings.  Too many people means too many opinions and can be very stressful for the bride.  Your appointment will be counterproductive trying to please everyone.  It is suggested to bring a maximum of 2 people with you to your appointments in search of the perfect gown.  Bridal Boutique dressing rooms are generally only large enough to accommodate 1-2 guests.  It is best to bring the people who may be involved in the purchase of your dress to minimize the number of visits needed to find the perfect dress.
