The Dress That Defied Generations 

Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. At Ivory & Beau, we’re here to guide you every step of the way,

ensuring your experience is both enjoyable and stress-free. Follow these detailed tips to find “The One” with ease:

Start Early

Begin your dress shopping journey 8-12 months before your wedding. This timeline allows ample room for fittings, alterations, and any customization

you might desire. Remember, many designer gowns are made to order, so starting early ensures you won’t feel rushed.

Research Styles You Love

Explore Pinterest, Instagram, and bridal magazines to gather inspiration. Create a vision board of silhouettes, fabrics, and details that appeal to you.

Bring these ideas to your appointment to help your stylist understand your preferences and guide you toward options that match your style and body type.

Set a Realistic Budget

Outline your budget early and stick to it. Include the cost of accessories, shoes, veils, and alterations in your total. Be transparent about your budget

with your stylist so they can recommend dresses within your range, avoiding unnecessary stress.

Schedule Strategic Appointments

Book your appointments at a reputable bridal boutique, like ours, where you’ll receive personalized attention. Weekday appointments often offer a quieter,

more relaxed shopping experience. Let us know in advance if you have specific styles or designers in mind so we can prepare for your visit.

Bring Your Inner Circle

Choose a small group of trusted loved ones to accompany you. Limit your entourage to two or three people who will support your decisions

without overwhelming you with conflicting opinions.

Be Open to Trying New Styles

While it’s great to have a vision, trust your stylist’s expertise. You might fall in love with a gown you hadn’t initially considered. Keep an open mind

during your appointments. Consider Your Wedding Theme and Venue Your dress should complement the overall vibe of your wedding.

For example, a flowing chiffon gown might suit a beach ceremony, while a structured ball gown could be perfect for a formal ballroom setting.

Trust Your Instincts

When you find the dress that feels right, you’ll know. Don’t overthink or compare too much once you’ve made your choice.
