How to Prepare for Bridal Shopping this Holiday Season

The holidays are always such a magical time of year! From Family get-togethers to the joy & cheer of the season - it all just feels so special! Here are just a few of our expert tips on how to continue that magic when shopping for your bridal gown during this holiday season. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with trying to include everyone plus the natural hustle and bustle that comes with this time of year but, don’t fret! Finding your dream dress can still be one of the most magical moments, keep reading to find out how!



Come Prepared to Fall in Love With a Gown & Trust Yourself! 

You never know when you’re going to put on your gown for the first time. It could happen at the very first appointment and it could even be one of the very first dresses you ever put on! Coming in prepared to have that moment for yourself and to say yes when you know in your heart that you found the one is probably our best piece of advice that we tell every single one of our brides. You know yourself the best and you’ll be bringing in people who want nothing but the best for you. When you feel that moment of celebration approaching, take it and soak it all in!


Book a Pre-Appointment Bridal Consultation

If you can’t imagine saying yes to your dress after coming in completely blind and never having tried on gowns before, then we strongly suggest coming in for a bridal consultation with us before bringing all of your group members in with you! This way, you’ll be able to shop for yourself and see what is catching your eye without any pressure whatsoever! This is a great time to ask any questions you might have about this process, we’re more than happy to make sure you’re well educated and feeling prepared! We know it can be a little tricky to make time for extra appointments during the holiday season but, we promise this one is definitely worth it. At your consultation, you’ll get to chat with your stylist, walk the racks of gowns, try on a few dresses and make a game plan for your appointment! These appointments are available on weekdays only.



Bring the Right People With You!

Bringing the right people is so crucial to keeping the magic of these appointments in tack! If you’re a person who can handle getting a lot of feedback from friends and family, then bringing 5-6 guests may not be overwhelming to you. But, if you would rather just have 1 or 2 special people with you to share in this really exciting life moment then do that! Ask yourself who is going to be the biggest cheerleader and who’s going to support you in making this choice for YOURSELF. The entire Miss Ruby Team is here to help the bride find their dream dress and we love when we can see group members doing the same!


Don’t Book Too Many Appointments All at Once 

The holidays are busy enough as is - booking multiple bridal appointments in a day or even a weekend can end up being much more overwhelming than you anticipated. Even if you’re a bonafide shopper, this process is truly just SO different than your typical shopping experience. There’s a ton of emotions and little decisions that go into being in each dress, even if it’s not the dress you end up saying yes to. Another big part of having multiple appointments scheduled is that it pulls you out of the moment. Being present while finding your dress is something every bride deserves during their experience. Having more appointments on the books can make you think too far ahead when the best thing you can do for yourself is take it one appointment at a time. I always say to my brides, the only reason you truly need another appointment is when you haven’t found a gown you love yet!


Be in the Moment!

That being said, when your moment comes - take it! When you start trying on gowns, you will gain clarity really quickly! This process happens much faster than most brides think. That clarity may confirm your vision or take you to a whole new gorgeous style you never knew you would love. When it comes to timing, your special moment could come when you least expect it. Brides say yes at their first appointment all the time, and when that happens it’s a truly magical moment! It’s important to keep an open mind, as it allows you to celebrate when that special moment comes rather than overthinking. You never know what amazing gowns and moments could be in store for you!
