Although this is one of the most magical and beautiful times of a bride’s life, it can also be one of the most stressful times. We constantly get questions and brides asking for guidance during their journey on topics such as timing, research, and budgets. We put together a quick read on how exactly to bring back the magic in bridal gown shopping, so here are 5 ways to make your wedding dress shopping less stressful. 

1.SET YOUR BUDGET

You’ll want to figure this out prior to starting your dress journey as it can be one of the most difficult aspects to navigate and stick to, which is why here at Revelle Bridal we are completely transparent about our price ranges and timelines that could require additional rush fees if you start your journey late. Here at Revelle our designer collections range from $2050 - $8000, with the majority falling between $3000 - $4000.

2. DO YOUR RESEARCH

Before visiting the shop for your first consultation we always direct brides to browse our Pinterest boards for inspiration. We have every single gown we carry in the shop on our Pinterest, so it is extremely helpful to come into an appointment with an idea of what your style is! However, if you need some guidance or inspiration, we do offer a pre consultations where we will discuss your wedding details and vision to help you find the perfect style and designer. 

3. START EARLY!

We recommend that you order your gown 10-12 months before your wedding date! The lead time varies by designer but since all our gowns are made to order they can take between 6 – 8 months to arrive. Start early so you have enough time to order your dream gown while factoring in production and delivery timelines as well as potential alterations. 

4. BRING A SUPPORTIVE GROUP

This is something we stress a lot to brides especially on our social media, because far too often we see brides bring people that aren’t necessarily uplifting or 100% supportive and it breaks our hearts! It’s so important to make sure each guests understands it is your day, your decision and truly only your final opinion that matters. We will always be there to support and back you up.

5. SHOP SAMPLE SALE IF PRESSED ON TIME

Now we know that not all brides have the luxury of time when it comes to their dress journey. Our biggest piece of advice for brides that started their journey later and don’t want to pay rush fees, is to shop off the rack or come in during our sample sales. This way you can leave the boutique with your gown as is and typically in very good condition for an amazing deal!
