FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

There’s no one right way to shop for a wedding gown, but preparation can be a very fun part of shopping! Think about your wedding, what sort of vibe you are wanting to create, and then use those key words to search for pictures on Instagram or Pinterest. Click through our designers we have here and see which ones might speak to that feeling. We love seeing images of what types of gowns inspire you! Do remain flexible, though, as brides often fall in love with gowns they would never have pinned.

If that all feels too overwhelming, that’s ok! We are here to help you figure out what you are looking for in a gown and empower you to feel beautiful in whatever gown you choose! We’ll ask questions throughout to help you pinpoint what you want and to pull the perfect gown.

You can also check out our friends at Burgh Brides (or Today’s Bride for our CLE girls) for some real life local inspiration. If you are a bit more old school, we also love a girl who brings in pictures from bridal magazines!
