Your Guide to Planning a Visit to Bridal Boutique Shops 

Are you planning your special wedding day in Northamptonshire? There are lots of different ways to create the perfect day, and one of these is to ensure you feel amazing in your wedding dress. Our Northampton brides love their visits to our stunning bridal boutique, from first appointment right the way through to the big day. 

Here’s our guide for what to expect when looking for the ideal dress and accessories.

How to Find Your Dream Wedding Dress

Trying on wedding dresses is one of the best (and most fun!) parts of planning your special day. Not only will you get access to top designer brands and gorgeous gowns, but it’s the chance to feel looked after as preparations get underway. 

Finding a Beautiful Gown

A wedding dress should reflect you, whether it’s styles you love or the look you want to achieve. The most important thing is that it feels right for you, helping you to feel confident on such an important occasion. 

Getting the Best Experience

If you’re looking for the perfect dress, why not visit our award-winning shop in Northamptonshire? We stock wedding dresses in all shapes, sizes and styles so that all our Northampton brides feel welcome from the moment they step foot through the door.

Should You Find Ideas Before Visiting a Bridal Shop?

Many Northamptonshire brides save images of beautiful wedding dresses they like the look of. This could be something as simple as a few picture cut out from a wedding magazine or a board of ideas on Pinterest. But how does this create the best experience when looking for your dress?

Make the Experience Easier

Thoughts about the type of dress you’d like to buy is often one of the first things your bridal boutique stylist in Northampton will talk to you about so that they understand more about your preferences and gowns you might like. 

Let Your Northamptonshire Bridal Stylist Guide You

However, for brides struggling to find images of dresses or styles that appeal to them (or you just haven’t made time to explore options yet), it doesn’t matter. Sometimes asking your Northamptonshire bridal shop stylist for advice and trying on dresses can help inspire you, discovering looks which suit you the most. Start by booking an appointment in Northamptonshire bridal shops near you.

Be Open to New Ideas

Your Northampton bridal boutique stylist will also ask you about any features you like or dislike. This doesn’t mean ruling out dresses which don’t meet your first criteria. In fact, it’s often wise to have a comparison and try on a dress you wouldn’t normally pick. Something as simple as a strapless dress or the inclusion of a bit of sparkle could be something you change your mind about once you see it on you. Be open to trying on a range of gowns to help you make the right decision for you.

How to Buy a Beautiful Dress Within Budget

We understand just how expensive a wedding can be, so it’s important to have a budget in mind when you start your search. This will ensure you don’t set your heart on a dress with too high a price.

Is There a Dress for All Budgets?

Absolutely! When looking for wedding dress shops, always see how much you would expect to spend there. Good shops will have some information about this on their website. At Serendipity Brides, our gowns start at just £250 with affordable sample dresses available for those with a tighter budget.

Don’t Forget About Accessories

When shopping for a gown, don’t forget about other costs to include in your budget too, including the price of accessories, alterations, make up, hair and even bridesmaid dresses. This will give you a clearer idea of how much budget is available for your dress. Depending on how much you love the dress you’ve found, you may even want to allocate more budget from other areas.
