1. Set Your Budget
Set your budget for whatever you feel comfortable with. I promise, you’ll find a dress you love within your budget! So don’t fret! There are so many different dresses out there you’ll find the perfect one with the perfect price! Try “off the shelf” dresses! You never know, you might just find one that works perfect for half the price!
2. Try on everything
Even if you don’t think you’ll like it TRY IT ON! That is the only way you’ll know if you like it or not! If you don’t like it, then it took 5 minutes of your time! No big deal!

3. Give yourself time
Don’t feel like you have to get your dress the first time you go shopping! Actually, just plan on not buying a dress on the first day & tell everyone that you are going with that. Give yourself enough time before the wedding to look at dresses, so if you don’t find a dress the first couple times, you don’t have to worry.

4. Go with a small group
You don’t need everyone and their mother to come dress shopping with you. More people, more opinions & that is not needed. When I found “the dress” it was just my mom and myself. I honestly believe that I wouldn’t have found the dress that day if there were more people that came with us.
I did call my sisters to tell them to come to the shop, so I could make sure that they liked it!

5. When you know its the dress you just know
Trust me.. that feeling is REAL! After I tried on 50+ dresses I thought that there was no way that I would have that feeling.. Well I tried on this dress that was COMPLETELY out of my comfort zone and as soon as I put on that dress “that feeling” just happened!
