3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHOPPING

BUDDIES

An entire entourage probably isn’t the best strategy. Every-

body likes to have their experience be small, intimate and

personal, so when you bring in a group of 10 people, it takes

away from that. Bring people who mean something to you

– your mom, your sister, your close friends – but don’t turn

it into a party. Bridal gown shopping should be about you

finding a dress. Stick to a small group of two or three com-

panions whose opinions you trust. You want to bring people

who tell you the honest truth, or someone who is calming.

We all have those friends who tell us we look great in every-

thing we wear; those are people are the ones to bring to the

second dress fitting.

4. DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Slipping into glamorous gowns will be so much more en-

joyable if you really feel the part of a beautiful bride. Wear

nice-quality nude underwear (a bright purple thong won’t

exactly give the lines you’re looking for) and a good strap-

less bra. You’ll get so much better of an idea of what you

will look like with good foundation. Also, consider taking it

up a notch in the hair and makeup department, whether it’s

wearing long and loose waves or a neat chignon (rather than

a messy bun), and a touch of mascara and lip gloss. Look as

best as you can, so you can get a good picture of how you’ll

look on the wedding day.
