Available at: www.silkandmaple.co.uk Searching for your dream dress It can be overwhelming when you first start looking for your dress. Ideally, before your appointment, do a bit of research to get some wedding dress inspiration as to what you want your gown to look like, whether it be in magazines, on Pinterest, or on Instagram. This gives your stylist more insight into your bridal vision and helps to progress the appointment in the right direction. Bring a small entourage whose opinions you can trust. Keep in mind that if a party is too large, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by a flood of differing opinions, making it impossible to make a decision. Finally, don’t try on too many dresses! After trying on 10–15 gowns, ensure that you carefully select the dresses you try on and avoid designs that are chosen solely to please your entourage. Pick a bridal boutique that best suits you and your style, not necessarily the one that is closest to you. It’s important that you research a multitude of different stores, exploring the designers that they stock as well as past customer reviews via their website and social media platforms. 68
