Planning your appointment

Make dress shopping feel like part of the celebration.

Bring a little context

Share your wedding date, venue and the overall feel of the day. Photographs of styles you like can help start the conversation without locking you into one shape or fabric.

Think about the whole look

Take your shoes, veil ideas and any meaningful accessories into account. Ask how alterations and fittings work before confirming your dress.

Choose your people

Bring the people whose opinions help you feel confident. A smaller, supportive group can make it easier to focus on how each dress feels.

Plan the wedding morning

Once your dress is chosen, share its details with your hair, makeup and photography team. This helps everyone plan the finishing touches and getting-ready photographs.
