So you’re officially engaged, and the exciting, sometimes overwhelming, journey of wedding planning is underway. First up? Finding the dress!
We know that booking your first bridal appointment can come with a whirlwind of emotions - excitement, maybe a little nervousness, and a whole lot of anticipation. That's why, when Lisa opened Serendipity Brides in 2004, her main goal was to create a space where everyone could truly relax and feel comfortable from the moment they walked in.

We want your first visit to feel exactly as you've imagined it - easy, welcoming, and all about you.
Your Arrival The moment you step through our door, you should feel encouraged to explore, take your time, and make yourself at home. Our space was designed to feel welcoming, allowing you to focus completely on the beautiful journey of finding your gown. |
When you arrive, we’ll take a little time to get to know you. Who are you? What's your vision? Are you here with your full "bride tribe" of up to six people, ready for a celebratory atmosphere? Or are you looking for a more relaxed approach with just one or two trusted loved ones? Understanding who you are and what you envision for the appointment helps us tailor the experience, allowing it to naturally evolve into something perfect for you.
The Serendipity Philosophy: Trust Your Instincts
Throughout your appointment, your comfort is our top priority. We'll be encouraging you to trust those all-important first instincts. How a dress makes you feel matters more than anything. Our goal is to empower you to feel the very best version of yourself, every step of the way.
Remember: If you need a break, have a question, or would like a drink, please let your dedicated stylist know. We're here to help, and we can only do that if you tell us what you need!

Trying On: Your Comfort, Your Choice
When it's time to try on gowns, we'll ask a simple, yet important, question: Would you like us to help you into the dresses, or would you prefer to step into them yourself and have us come in once you’re ready? This question is purely about your comfort level. We absolutely love helping brides into their dresses - it’s what we do! But we also understand that having someone in the changing room can feel quite personal.
Whatever you choose initially, know that you can change your mind at any point. Even if you start by dressing yourself, if you realize you'd like a hand, just let your stylist know. That's exactly what we're here for!
The Magic Moment: Prepare for Surprises!
Choosing your wedding dress is unlike buying anything else; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment. And here's a little secret we love to share: Keeping an open mind often leads to the loveliest surprises!

In fact, around 90% of our brides fall in love with a dress they never expected to choose. Don't be surprised if that moment happens to you. Even more exciting, about 8 out of 10 brides find their dream dress on their very first visit with us! If you have that moment - that rush of certainty - truly embrace it. It’s a magical experience you’ll remember forever.
Time to Say "Yes!": The Celebration
Once you’ve found the dress, there are a few practical steps to take care of, like measurements and paperwork. Don’t worry about these details beforehand; we’ll guide you through all of it when the time comes.
After the practical bits are done, the fun really begins! We’ll head to our celebration room, where we’ll take photos, enjoy our photo booth and photo wall, and add those little touches that make the moment feel truly special. It’s your chance to celebrate and soak it all in with your loved ones!
We also understand that bringing guests along can sometimes feel complicated. If you have any concerns about who you’re bringing or how the dynamics might affect the appointment, please talk to us beforehand. We are always ready to offer support and guidance to ensure the experience is positive.
Above all else, our aim is to make your first bridal appointment feel relaxed, supportive, and truly special - a moment you’ll look back on with happy memories.
