We are really fortunate to have several beautiful bridal boutiques here in Ottawa, Ontario and surrounding areas. The boutiques pride themselves on staying with the current bridal trends so you are sure to find the gown you've always dreamed about.

Make a list of the boutiques you'd like to visit. 

Tip #1 - Start Shopping Early

In the grand scheme of wedding planning, ask yourself how important your dress is to you. If it ranks very high on your list of priorities, allocate a larger portion of your overall wedding budget to your dress. If a loved one is helping to pay for your gown, talk about and agree on a budget you’re both comfortable with well before your bridal appointment. Be sure to share this number with your bridal consultant too! Many bridal boutiques offer general pricing information on their website so do a little research beforehand to determine whether or not the shop is a good fit for your taste and your budget. As difficult as it can be, avoid trying on gowns that are beyond your budget. Falling in love with something that’s priced well outside of your financial comfort zone can feel extremely uncomfortable and discouraging.

Tip #2 - Consider Your Budget

Most bridal appointments run between 60 and 90 minutes long, and those minutes fly by! If you’re standing in front of the mirror and you’re just not feeling the gown, move on to the next one. This is not a situation that can be forced, and what they say is true: you’ll know your gown when you see it! Don’t waste time in a gown you’re feeling just ‘ehhh’ about — that time will be better spent after you find your gown and you begin thinking about veils and accessories. On that subject, don’t bother to try veils, belts, and jewelry with dresses you’re just not into. Save those for only the top contenders.

TIP #3 -Maximize your bridal appointment

You may feel tempted (or pressured) to invite your mom, sister, future mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, and all six of your bridesmaids. Take a pause before you extend all those invitations. That’s a lot of people with a lot of differing tastes and opinions. Bring one to three people who will be most supportive of you and your tastes. Ultimately, you want to invite friends and family who will encourage you to choose the gown you love the most and feel the best in, not the one they prefer. Don’t feel coerced by convention or protocol to choose who comes with you.  

Tip #4 - Choose Your Entourage Wisely

Have you fallen in love with a glitzy, glamorous gown, but your wedding style is more rustic? Two words: who cares?! Choose the dress that makes you feel all kinds of giddy and special. Remember: YOU are the bride. It’s encouraged to stand out!

Tip #5 - Go With What Makes You Happy
