See all the vendors we LUST for, that can help you with your big day!
FIND YOUR PERFECT LOOK
Shopping for your perfect wedding gown, dress, suit, or tuxedo is an exciting time, filled with anticipation and dreams for your day. As you begin shopping, be aware that designer sizing is VERY different from department store sizing. Many sizing charts are based on European couture standards from decades ago. This means the numbers on the tags can be misleading. Instead, focus on what fits your shape and plan for necessary alterations, rather than stressing over the size label.
Come prepared with inspiration! Bring photos or a Pinterest board to help the stylist understand your vision. Having a clear idea of what you like will make the shopping experience smoother and more enjoyable. Specialty boutiques offer one-on-one assistance, helping you find a silhouette you might not have considered. They're professionals for a reason!
Don’t forget to bring your preferred undergarments and shoes to ensure a proper fitting. And of course, invite a few trusted friends or family members whose opinions you value.
Remember, ordering and altering take time, so start early! Even for “off-the-rack” items and tuxedos need a proper fitting. Scheduling it well in advance ensures everything fits perfectly for your big day!
PLANNING YOUR HAIR & MAKEUP FOR THE BIG DAY
Once you’ve booked your hair and makeup team, be sure to schedule a trial. This is your chance to test looks, fine-tune details, and make thoughtful adjustments so everything feels right on your wedding day. Bring inspiration photos, but remember styles look different on everyone — clear, kind communication helps your beauty team deliver a look you truly love and feel confident wearing.
It’s also important to plan ahead for your wedding party. Decide where everyone will get ready and be upfront about costs, timing, and style expectations to keep the morning running smoothly.
Amid the planning, don’t forget about self-care. Staying hydrated, scheduling a facial, or booking a spray tan trial can help you feel relaxed, polished, and camera-ready when the big day arrives.
