MBC's 5 Tips for Finding the Perfect Wedding Dress

It's totally normal as a new bride to not know what style dress is the dress for you. I remember when I went to pick out my dress, I thought my dress was for sure going to be a fit and flare style and thats all I wanted to try on. My mother talked me into trying on a ball gown at my second bridal appointment and there was no question, it was indeed my dress.

Here are MBC's 5 Tips to Remember when trying to Find the Perfect Wedding Dress

1. Know Your Body Shape: When picking your dress, knowing what looks best on your body type is key. Do some research, it will make the process of elimination a whole lot less stressful.  2. Attend Shows: If you have a designer you love, take advantage of trunk shows! Visit the designers website, tell us what your in love with. It will allow your bridal consultant to learn a little bit more about you and will allow her ahead of time to pull the perfect dresses from the floor for you.

3. Set A Budget: Before stepping foot inside a bridal salon, select your budget. You won't want to try on gowns for "fun" because you just might fall in love with a gown that you can't afford.

4. Set Priorities: Buy your gown first! Its very easy to fall in love with a pair of stunning bridal shoes, or bridesmaids dresses. BUT you don't want to make your gown match things you have already bought. You want to buy your gown and purchase the rest to match YOU. Theres no such thing as buying your gown too early, but when you find it, STOP looking. If you're anything like me, everything bridal is gorgeous. 5. Keep It Fun: Invite a bridesmaid or family member to join you in your search for The Perfect Wedding Dress! Every girl loves a direct opinion from someone they love and trust. Make it a fun day, go to lunch, pop some champagne, ENJOY this day.

Mira-Bridal-Couture+Sample-Sale When a bride hears the words "Bridal Sample Sale" it can be music to their ears! Where else can you find that designer wedding dress at sometimes 80% off? Where else can The Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom, and Flower Girls find the perfect dress for a better cost in your budget? Mira's Bridal Couture of course!

2. Be Flexible! Remember that the beautiful dress you saw on the cover of the latest bridal magazine probably won't be at the sample sale, Dresses being sold are usually from a previous collection. Needless to say, all the gowns are extremely gorgeous just waiting for the most perfect bride to try them on. Come, try on the gowns that catch your eye!

4. Dress appropriately! When trying on clothing us girls know that wearing something easy to slip on and off makes the process a whole lot easier. Proper underwear that will make you feel comfortable and a proper bra so that you can visualize while trying on without needing to tuck straps in, etc. Also refrain from wearing too much make-up. Such as bright colored lipsticks, due to the fact you will be trying on multiple dresses and we do not want you to have smeared make-up or get make up on the dresses.

 

5. Bring someone! Whether it’s your mom, or a friend, take someone with you who can be brutally honest. We all need that someone that we can ask for an honest opinion. However, due to the fact that our sample sales bring in a lot of clients we don't recommend bringing in strollers or small children due to no seating. If you have a question please feel free to call us at (209) 338-9333. Remember its first come first serve so the salon more than likely will be quite busy.

 

6. Don’t forget to accessorize! Its extremely easy to get wrapped up in finding that perfect dress that you very easily forget to accessorize! We will have a selection of accessories that will be sure to finish off your look perfectly. Sample Sales are a good place to find accessories at a much lower price.

 

7. Sample Sale Sizes! Don’t stay away from our sample sale just because you think your size is not available. In most cases the dress can be altered, check with our staff regarding questions. Some alterations are more difficult than others. For example if the dress is beaded, it may be more expensive. Keep in mind that its much easier to take a dress in than to take it out. 

 

8. Double Check! Did you find your dress? Check the dress for any missing beads, snags, stains, etc. All sales will be final so if you do see something that we may have missed please bring it to our attention before leaving the store with your dress.

 

9. Factor All Costs! Its quick to let the excitement of finding your dress make you forget of other costs to remember. Keep in mind that you will still have alterations, cleaning, pressing, of the dress to quite possibly add into your budget as well. We do recommend and awesome seamstress that is located her locally. Sewing & More Alterations by Arte in Modesto, California inside Roseburg Square.
