Carefully select your entourage
Who you take shopping with you for your wedding gown is extremely important. You need to make sure that the people joining you on these shopping trips are not only giving you valuable feedback but are also supportive of your decisions. Avoid bringing too many people to your appointment. The more people around you, the more opinions you will hear. How do you exclude a close negative friend or family member without any drama or hard feelings? Skype or Face Time are really great tools. When you have found the dress you love, call your friend or family member or schedule an additional appointment for them to see the dress you chose in person.Take pictures of only the top contenders
Don't flood the album on your phone with pics of dresses that you didn't love. The more pictures you go back to look at, the more confusing making your decision will be. If the bridal salon you go to does not allow you to take pictures, you will forget half of the dresses you tried on by the time you pull out of the parking lot. This becomes increasingly difficult when you have visited several stores where you were not allowed to take photos. (Psst! Wonderland Bridal allows you to take pictures!)Speak up

If you are trying on a silhouette you always imagined you would wear on your wedding day but feel like it's not quite right, say something! Maybe it is just a matter of adding or removing crinoline or trying on a slightly different style. Many brides have a specific idea of what they want but when they try it on, it's not giving them the WOW factor. Trust your consultant to choose gowns that you may not have otherwise considered.Don't wait for the tears
All of these wedding shows, have brides who become emotional when they have found their wedding gown. Is this the reason why you haven't found yours? Do you want to feel the connection to your gown? You might have already had that feeling and missed it. At the end of your appointment, ask yourself these questions:- Did you try on a gown that made you feel amazing and you didn't want to take it off?
- Did your entourage gasp and get emotional when you exited the fitting room?
- Was it hard to wipe the smile off your face in this dress?
- Did you find one you love but want to keep looking to make sure you didn't miss out on anything else?
- Did any of the other gowns you tried on make you feel as excited as this one did?
- Can you imagine yourself in this dress on your wedding day?
Your fairytale starts here!
