I NEED TO SLEEP ON IT?
Seriously though,...no-one ever tells brides just how mentally and physically draining wedding dress shopping can be, and you can get dress fog
If everything in your heart and mind is saying yes, then go for it, but sometimes you need to step away and sleep on it, and that is OK!
Follow our top tips below for a stress free experience...
🤍 Do some research before you shop
🤍 Choose your guests wisely
🤍 Don't book too many appointments in one day
🤍 Have an open mind
🤍 Stick to your budget
