You’re engaged to the love of your life! Entering one of the most magical chapters of your life, you’re wondering “where do I start?”

Well luckily for you, searching for your dream dress is the best part of wedding planning!

1. Setting up your bridal appointment

You can choose from our 3 different experiences depending on your personal preference. We offer a VIP Experience, a Classic Bridal experience, and a Mini Experience.

2. Choosing your group

We understand choosing your perfect dress is an important and big decision brides want to share with their loved ones! Wedding dress shopping is such a once in a lifetime experience, you should bring the people whose opinions you value the most and who will support your choices.

3. Finding gown inspiration

Prior to coming in you can browse our wedding dresses on our pinterest account, @belovedbridal and pin the styles you love. Feel free to look at other places as well, our stylists love seeing your taste in gowns to understand your style vision for your big day!

4. Dress appropriately.

Undergarments are important for your appointment. Your stylist will be helping you in and out of the wedding dresses, so you want to be sure your underwear isn’t anything you would feel embarrassed to be seen wearing. We recommend wearing skin tone undergarments and bring a strapless bra if possible. Shaping undergarments such as Spanks are also important if that is something you are interested in, as they will affect the way a dress looks on you.

5. Have fun!

Finally, remember that shopping for your wedding dress is meant to be a beautiful, once in a lifetime experience. Set your fears aside and keep in mind that your stylist is there to make you feel confident and comfortable. Have fun and enjoy yourself! Don't be surprised if you find your dress on your first visit with us. Finding the dress is like finding the guy, when you know, you can finally stop searching! It may be the first dress you try on, or the one you revisited several times during your appointment. It’s okay to say YES and celebrate your special moment.
