Booking a bridal gown consultation with a boutique is the best way to find the dress of your dreams. For many brides, these consultations are much more than just simple shopping trips and fittings. It is an exciting day when you get to have lots of fun along with close friends and family, and make memories while trying on dreamy dresses.

Here’s a quick look at what to expect when you book your bridal gown consultation at Sposabella Bridal.

What To Expect Before the Appointment

The journey to this perfect day starts before the actual date. For a successful day, it is best to come prepared.

Advanced Booking

Most bridal boutiques require appointments. It is best to book at least 6 – 10 months before your wedding day, since this will give you plenty of time to shop and plan your day in detail.

Know Your Budget Before Your Appointment

We always recommend having a clear idea of your budget before booking your bridal consultation. This helps our stylists tailor your appointment to focus on gowns that align with your style and price range — ensuring a relaxed, enjoyable experience without any unexpected surprises.

Being upfront about your budget allows us to guide you with confidence, helping you find “the one” that feels just right in every way.

What to Expect During The Consultation

The bride can expect to be treated like a real princess on this special day. You will receive a warm welcome and will be treated professionally throughout the fitting.

Bring Your Crew

Bring along a few friends or trusted family members to your fitting. The opinions can help choose the right gown. Ideally, your crew should only consist of 1 – 3 people because too many opinions can be a bit too overwhelming. 

Expect Questions 

Consultants will ask lots of questions about your venue, theme, preferred styles, or dreamy dress. This will make it easier for the consultant to guide you towards dresses you are most likely to love.

Expert Advice

Don’t be shy to ask the bridal consultant for some advice regarding suitable gowns or accessories like jewellery. Bridal consultants can be a huge help if you are not sure what dress will suit your body type or what shade of white will make you look the most radiant. Consultants can also give some good recommendations for hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, or florists who can also aid in your big day.

Expect to Find the One

When you visit a good bridal boutique, you are very likely to fall in love several times. And if you do happen to come across ‘the one’ on that first booking, then you can go ahead and order it that day. 

What to Expect After The Consultation

Your dress journey doesn’t end that first day. You can expect to deal with the bridal boutique a couple of times as your wedding day approaches.

The Ordering Process

When you find the perfect dress, you can order it in the size that offers the closest fit for your body. It is worth noting that the dress likely won’t fit perfectly at this point because it isn’t custom-made. 

Alterations & Gown Storage

Please note that alterations are an expected part of the bridal process and are an additional cost to your gown. All alterations are completed in-house by our experienced seamstresses to ensure the perfect fit.
