WHAT TO WEAR TO THE SALON What you wear under the dress can make a huge difference in how the dress fits and looks. Before heading to the bridal salon to find your dress, put some thought behind the type of under-things you’re going to need for your wedding day. BRA Even if you think you want straps on your gown, you'll likely still end up trying on a dress or two without straps, or with a different neckline. We recommend wearing or bringing a strapless bra with you. This will help you see what the dresses look like without your bra straps in the way. It's fine to go out and shop for a new bra after you've found the dress, but avoid bringing or wearing an old one that is falling apart and doesn’t make the girls look their best. You can put it back on when you get home. We understand. UNDERWEAR A marathon of trying on wedding dresses isn't the time to be distracted by panty lines or the peek of hot pink lace. Don’t go completely granny panty on us, but wear a simple pair of underwear. Something close to your skin-tone if you have it. You’ll thank us later.

SHAPEWEAR If you’re considering using shape-wear under your dress, bring that with you to your dress consultations. Not all dress fabrics work well with shape-ware, it’s best to learn what works and what doesn’t before you make your decision. SHOES We recommend bringing along a pair of shoes that are a similar height to what you plan on wearing on the big day. Most bridal boutiques have shoes you can borrow when trying on dresses, but we prefer something we own rather than something that doesn't fit, isn’t the correct height, or isn't your style.
