NYC Wedding Dress Shopping FAQs
Do I need an appointment to go shopping for wedding dresses in NYC?
Yes, all NYC bridal stores will require an appointment for you to shop their selections. The reason for this is that it is usually a highly customizable experience. You’ll have a stylist there to help you, dedicated to helping only you during your appointment time.
Is there a fee for wedding dress shopping at NYC bridal shops?
Yes, many, but not all, bridal salons will have a fee. This fee is usually ranging $50-100. Since the salons reserve a time slot for you to shop, this prevents no-shows. And let’s be honest, wedding dress shopping in NYC is a lot of fun – it could be tempting to go twirl around in the dresses without any intention of actually purchasing anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So, can you blame them?
What to wear wedding dress shopping?
When shopping for your wedding dress, you’ll want to consider the rest of your look as well. First, consider the undergarments you’ll wear under a white dress. Something nude, and ideally strapless, will give you the best idea of how your wedding dress will look on you. If you have an idea of what shoes you’ll wear, bring those too (though those may come after the dress). If you aren’t sure, wear something close to what you think you may wear down the aisle.
Your hair and makeup will play a huge role in your overall bridal look. Though you won’t have your HMUA with you, do something similar to what you think you may like. If you know you want an updo, wear your hair up so you can see what it looks like, and same with any other hairstyles. Also, what you envision could change completely once you say yes to the dress!
How much should you budget for a wedding dress?
Brides are often caught off guard by alterations cost. Don’t underestimate the investment required to alter a gown. Wedding dresses often involve complex and intricate designs that take a lot of time and precision to get right. Not only that, but you’ll want to have a specialist doing this kind of work for you. Bridal seamstresses often work solely with formalwear and are experts at their craft.
How to prepare for an appointment at a bridal shop in NYC?
- Bring inspiration photos of wedding dresses you like
- Know what your wedding dress budget is
- Bring shoes and accessories you know you’ll wear on your wedding
- Wear the proper undergarments – nude and strapless is best
- Bring shapewear if you intend to wear it
When should I begin shopping for a wedding dress at bridal shops in NYC?
Brides should begin shopping for their dress no later than 9-12 months out. Wedding dresses are intricate and take a lot of time to be made. Beyond that, the alterations can take longer than you may expect.
What should I expect at a bridal shop appointment?
Expect to be surprised with what you may like! Come with an open mind and try things you may not have envisioned for yourself. Brides are often surprised when they end up buying a dress completely different than what they picked online!
