Ten Ways Your Bridal Party Can Help You
Find Your Wedding Dress at The Gilded Gown
1. Moral Support
Your Bridal Party (just by showing up at your fitting) will provide you with endless encouragement. While you are busy in the dressing room, the knowledge that your loved ones are anxiously awaiting your appearance in your next dress is so comforting.
2. Honest Opinions
Your friends and family will give you their honest opinions, the good and the not so good.
3. Helping Hands
Members of your Bridal Party are a great asset while you are at your bridal fitting. Not only can they give you their opinions about a dress you’re trying on, but they can also lend helpful hands. For instance, they can grab you a bottle of water, hand you your phone, or even help you put your hair up.
4. Photographers
Your Party make wonderful photographers. They can take pictures of your favorite gowns from every angle, front, back, side and close-ups. (And they can even text the pics to your Aunt Marge!)
5. Good Suggestions
The Bridal Party knows what you are planning for your special day, and so they can be of great assistance with ideas to tie your potential dress to your event. Planning a Glitzy Formal Affair but you’ve fallen in love with a rather plain ballgown? The Party might suggest adding a glamorous beaded sash to your dress. Voila! Glizty, blinged-out dress achieved, thanks to their advice.
6. Keeping You Grounded
It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of trying on beautiful gowns. (Sometimes brides will keep trying on increasingly expensive dresses and get completely out of their price range.) Your friends and family are terrific at reminding you of your budget.
7. Keeping You On Track
Farm wedding planned? Then perhaps your girls will gently steer you away from the 15 foot Cathedral Train Formal Gown you are infatuated with.
8. Pitching In On The Cost
Many times Bridal Party Members will lovingly contribute to the cost of the gown. We witness this time and time again and are always humbled by the kindness people show each other.
9. Building A Memory Together
“Remember how much fun we had when we found your dress?” your girls will say. Having fun, laughing and sharing a joyful experience together builds happy memories for the future. You will always remember their support and they will be delighted to have been included on your journey to find THE dress.
10. And, most importantly, Love
Hugs, happy tears, laughter, sighs, sniffs, exclamations, shared moments…an over-abundance of LOVE overflows in bridal stores. Every day we are honored to see such caring displayed time and time again. Bridesmaids hugging the bride, mothers crying with brides when they find the perfect dress, the grandmothers and aunts pulling out checkbooks to contribute, even brides who feel less than perfect finally feeling absolutely beautiful.
Your bridal party will be sure to surround you with Love!
