What to Wear Wedding Dress Shopping
and other FAQs
Shopping for your wedding gown is an exciting milestone, and it’s normal to have a few questions along the way. At Fiancée Bridal, we’re here to make the process joyful, stress-free, and easy to understand. Whether you’re wondering what to wear wedding dress shopping or when to start looking for the perfect dress, our FAQ has the answers you need.
What Should I Wear Wedding Dress Shopping?
We suggest nude undergarments and a strapless bra or shapewear, as they help you see how each silhouette will look and feel. For comfort and professionalism, undergarments are required, and your stylist will be in the room to assist you. Bringing heels close to your wedding shoe height can also help you picture the complete look. Most importantly, come as you are—your appointment will be a joyful experience no matter what.
When Should You Go Wedding Dress Shopping?
The ideal wedding dress timeline is about 9–12 months before your wedding day. This allows time for ordering, shipping, and any necessary alterations. Alterations are not included in the cost of your gown, but many brides choose to have them done to achieve the perfect fit. If you’re on a shorter timeline, our beautiful off-the-rack gowns are available to take home the very same day.
Do You Offer Alterations?
We do not offer alterations in-house, but we’re happy to share trusted recommendations with you. Every bride’s gown may require adjustments—whether it’s a simple hem or a detailed tailoring—to create that flawless, custom fit. Your stylist will guide you through what to expect and connect you with skilled seamstresses who specialize in bridal work.
How Do I Find a Wedding Dress That’s Right for Me?
Start by thinking about how you want to feel on your wedding day—romantic, modern, elegant, or bold. From there, your stylist will help guide you through different silhouettes, fabrics, and details to match your vision. Our one-on-one approach makes it easy to find your perfect wedding dress in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
How Long Do Wedding Dress Shopping Appointments Last?
Appointments typically last 60 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to try on different wedding dress styles, talk through options with your stylist, and celebrate the moment you find “the one.”
Do I Need an Appointment to Shop at Fiancée Bridal?
Yes, our boutiques are by appointment so each bride has the full attention of a dedicated stylist. You can request an appointment online, and our team will confirm our availability.
What Happens After I Find My Dress?
Once you’ve chosen your gown, we’ll walk you through ordering, sizing, and shipping time. If you’ve chosen an off-the-rack gown, you take it home the same day.
Do You Offer Dress Preservation?
Yes! After your wedding, you can schedule a dress preservation appointment with us. Our professional service will keep your gown protected for years to come—whether you’d like to treasure it as a keepsake or pass it down to future generations.
