Wedding Dress Shopping Tips

To help make your visit to Sposa as pleasant as possible, please consider the following recommendations before trying on wedding and bridesmaid dresses:

» Please come free of any make-up, perfumes and self-tanners.
» Bring a strapless or similar wedding day bra to wear.
» Bring shoes which are approximately the same size you will wear on the wedding day.
» You are more than welcome to bring a camera with you to Sposa to take pictures of you wearing the gowns you like best.
» As a rule, wedding dresses run small.  Be prepared to purchase a dress in a size or two larger than your normal clothing size.
» Come with an open mind! It is helpful to bring pictures of dresses you like, but be willing to try on other styles.  Sometimes a dress you love in a magazine will not be the one for you.
» Let us help you find a style that best suits your figure, your personality and the look of your wedding.  Our bridal consultants have done this many times before!
» It is helpful to bring a family member or friend along for a second opinion.  However, too many opinions can result in confusion and an unhappy bride-to-be. You will know which dresses you love best.  When you’ve narrowed it down to one or two, then feel free to show family and friends.
» Sposa sells designer gowns directly off-the-rack and by special order.  If you are special ordering a gown, please ensure we have at least 6 – 8 weeks for your dress to be delivered.  We encourage you to shop early enough that you can have your dress at least two months before your wedding day – ensuring you plenty of time for alterations.
