Charm School (for Brides!) with CSE, p.2 : Homework Before Dress Shopping

Hey friends, we're back with a new Charm School Series Post! As you know, the talented gals from Commerce Street Events, of Nashville, are guiding us through the entire process of planning a wedding from start to finish! Today, the girls are prepping to go wedding dress shopping and they're sharing all the homework you should do before you hit the shops! 

  
Bridal Homework Before Going Dress Shopping

Bridal gown shopping can be very overwhelming and emotional for not just the bride, but also mothers and friends. It can also be a frustrating experience if the bride is not happy with her body or not sure what she wants. We always suggest the bride do a little homework before shopping to help make it a positive experience. Follow these tips before going dress shopping:  

1 | Browse wedding magazines, blogs and Pinterest to get an idea of what style of wedding gown you may like. Make a portfolio of your favorite styles and bring it with you to the bridal salon so they can get a visual sense of what you like.


2 | For the first time trying on dresses, be warned that wedding gowns run small. Do not pay attention to the size; most bridal stores have sample gowns in sample sizes. Focus on how you look in the gown.

3 | Allow the consultant to pull some dresses that s/he may believe will fit your body and the style of wedding.

4 | Bring appropriate undergarments with you to the bridal salon as well as similar shoes you will be wearing on the big day.

5 | Lastly, it’s fun trying on wedding gowns, enjoy yourself and have a glass of champagne!

Make sure you tune in Monday + Tuesday to see the girls hit Modern Trousseau, a darling wedding dress boutique in downtown Nashville while they cheer our faux bride, Megan, on as she tries on dress after dress. The team will also be dishing on top dress trends and tips for choosing the perfect dress! 

ps. Read their first post on wedding planning basics if you missed it! And just click on "Bridal Charm School" in the label section of this post to read all of the Charm School posts.
