What should I bring?

Well first and foremost, an open mind!  Remember, it isn’t everyday that you are trying on full-length formal dresses, so you may not know just what suites you.  Here is a list of other items that would be helpful to bring along:

• A few trusted family members and friends.  If possible, it is helpful to bring along the people who you need with you to make your wedding dress decision should you find “the one”.
• Photos of dresses that you just love.  Whether they are on your Pinterest wedding dress board, in your wedding binder, or from our very own Look Book.  This will help us get an idea about what you are liking and what silhouettes you are drawn to.
• Proper undergarments.  A strapless bra is always a good idea.  And keep in mind that while we do try to respect your privacy when trying on gowns, there is a chance we may need to be in the fitting room with you, so choose wisely when determining the proper coverage for your other undergarments.  We do require that underwear be worn for hygienic purposes.
• Shoes.  It is always a good idea to bring a pair of shoes that you already own that are of a heel height you are considering for your wedding day.  That way you can “test drive” what is like to wear heels with a wedding dress.  {Special side note: Many of our brides end up with either flats or a heel height of less than 3 inches for all day wedding comfort.}

And remember, none of the above are absolutely necessary.  These are just the various items, in our experience, that help out in the average TWD bridal appointment.

Our Confirmation Procedure

Please note that for Saturday appointments, we do require a text, verbal or email confirmation from each client to verify you will be attending your appointment.  We typically call each client on the Wednesday before the Saturday appointment to aid in this process.  So if you get a text or voicemail from a friendly TWD-ette to confirm your Saturday visit, we do need a call back or an email to officially confirm your appointment.  If we do not hear back from our Saturday clients by Friday afternoon, we will make the assumption that the appointment is no longer needed and we will fill the appointment with a client on our waiting list.

In an effort to keep our dresses in the most pristine condition possible, please note that during the winter months and inclement weather, we do ask our guests to remove their shoes before heading out onto the main boutique floor.  We invite our guests to bring their own slippers or fuzzy socks.  We also offer shoe booties if our guests are unable to remove their shoes.  We thank you in advance for your help in keeping our dresses in tip-top condition!

We are looking forward to meeting you!  If you have any questions before your visit here, please feel free to contact us!
