Preparing for Your Serendipity Brides Appointment
To ensure your experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible, here are a few tips:
What to Wear: We recommend wearing nude underwear and a strapless bra, if possible. This helps you get a truer feel for how the dresses will look. Please don’t feel the need to go out and buy special underwear for your appointment. If you already have nude underwear it can be helpful, but it’s absolutely not required — just come in whatever you feel most comfortable wearing.
Who to Bring: While we completely understand how exciting this moment is to share, bringing a smaller, trusted group of around one to three people can often be really helpful for brides who might feel overwhelmed by too many opinions. Equally, if someone has booked the Bubbles & Bows or Bride Tribe appointment and plans to bring more guests, we’d simply encourage them to make sure those people are truly important to them - people whose opinions they value and who will have their best interests at heart. Remember, the guest limits for each appointment type are in place to ensure comfort and personal attention.
Keep an Open Mind: Sometimes, the dress you least expect turns out to be 'the one'. Be open to trying different styles your stylist suggests – they are the experts!
Our team at Serendipity Brides is here to support you every step of the way, making sure you feel confident and beautiful. We want you to relax and soak in every moment!
