How many people should you bring when shopping for your wedding dress?
It is one of the most important items you will shop for and whom you choose to tag along will help make or break your decision. Who you bring with you will have their perspective of how you should look and sometimes you won’t be on the same page so choose wisely!
So much about your dress represents you – the style, the color, the shoes, the jewelry, even the veil, all reflect how you want to look and feel on your special day. Just as you knew “He” is the one is how you will feel about the right dress.
My advice is the smaller the entourage the better when you are first looking for your dress. Emotions will run high why cause yourself any extra anxiety. Once you found it bring them all in for your final fitting or even better when you get it home!
Do consider bringing your Mom – it is a special day for her too. But beware, you may be looking at strapless wedding dresses and she wants you in the high lace collar dress with the long sleeves even though your getting married in JULY! Stand your ground but be diplomatic in your response of “What are you thinking????!!!!!!
Hmmm,,,,,, on second thought maybe you should bring her in when you’ve narrowed your choices.
Do consider your siblings though they can be brutally honest and you may become the major act in a comedy fashion show. I know from first hand experience and it wasn’t pretty. You’ll need a tough skin for this choice.
Do consider one honest friend – male or female – your shopping companion that picks those outfits you always get compliments on how great you look. They won’t let you down.
Ladies do beware of bringing those friends that can be the jealous type, the say yes to everything friends, or negative Nellie’s. It will just leave you frustrated and confused.
Do give your bridal salesperson as much information of what you are looking for so they can help narrow your search process. Pull pictures from magazines and online of dress silhouettes you would like to try on. Trust your salesperson they are the professionals – yes they want to make the sale but they also want you to look your best! Do have a budget for your dress but remember there is the chance you will fall in love with the more expensive one!
Do go with your gut, you will know when you have the right dress on. You will feel beautiful as well as have that special glow. I know it sounds corny but it’s true.

i think shopping is a skill to choose the best one and i don’t think so only one can choose the best one, so it is better to always take some one with you who have nice choice.
yeah you may choose, but it would be better if there are more than one with us for shopping as each and every people have different choice and different opinions, so better to know every one’s opinion.
yeah, we should know more about others opinion and then we should make decession, coz we may be wrong too sometime for choosing right things.
