You’ve booked your bridal appointment (yay!) and now the countdown to finding the one—your dream wedding dress—is officially on. Whether it’s your first time in a bridal salon or you’re coming back with a fresh perspective, showing up prepared can make all the difference.
Here’s everything you need to bring and wear to make the most of your bridal salon appointment — especially here in Dallas, where bridal style is as bold and beautiful as the brides themselves.
👗 What to Wear to Your Bridal Appointment
1. Nude Undergarments
Wearing nude, seamless underwear and a strapless bra (if you plan to wear one) helps give a better idea of how each dress will look on your big day. That bright red lacy number? Save it for the honeymoon.
2. Minimal Makeup
Keep it light! A touch of mascara, brows, and lip balm is perfect. It helps you feel confident in photos but avoids the risk of transferring makeup onto delicate gowns.
3. Comfortable, Easy-Off Clothing
You’ll be getting in and out of dresses quickly, so opt for something that’s easy to slip off and on — think leggings and a flowy top or a simple sundress.
4. Shoes with a Similar Heel Height to Your Wedding Day
If you know you’ll be wearing heels or specific shoes, bring them! If not, try on gowns with a shoe height that feels close to what you’ll wear on the big day — it makes a big difference in how the dress falls and feels.
👜 What to Bring to Your Bridal Appointment
1. Your Inspiration
Bring screenshots, Pinterest boards, or saved Instagram posts that reflect what you’re drawn to — styles, necklines, fabrics, silhouettes. Your stylist doesn’t need a final vision, but a general vibe helps a lot.
2. A Trusted (and Supportive) Crew
Less is more when it comes to bringing guests. Choose 1–3 people whose opinions you trust and who truly support your style. The right crew will lift you up and help you feel your best — not overwhelm you with opinions.
3. An Open Mind
You may fall in love with something totally different than what you imagined — and that’s part of the magic! Trust your stylist, try on a few wild cards, and enjoy the ride.
4. Hair Accessories (Optional but Helpful!)
If you already have a veil, hairpiece, or sentimental accessory you know you’ll wear, bring it along. It can help complete the look and give you that "this is it" moment.
5. Water and a Snack
Dress shopping is more of a workout than it seems! Staying hydrated and keeping your energy up helps you stay focused and feel great during your appointment.
