Q: What is the best way to shop for bridesmaid dresses? Do my bridesmaids need appointments? Should they all visit the store together, if possible?
A:Every bride and bridal party is different, but there are a few constants when shopping for bridesmaid dresses.
We offer a free bridesmaid consultation with every bridal appointment so you can start thinking about how your bridal party will fit in with your look.
Some brides prefer to shop with one bridesmaid, choose a dress for the bridal party, and instruct the rest of the members which dress or dresses to order afterwards, either in-store or online. Others prefer to shop with their entire bridal party.
We recommend a store appointment for bridesmaid dress selection so your stylist can help you pick out the style, fabric, and color, then work with you and your party to ensure everything is ready in time for the event. After you’ve chosen the overall look, your bridesmaids can come try on dresses and find their sizes at any store when it’s convenient for them, no appointment necessary.
