What to Bring to Your Bridal Appointment

A little prep makes your bridal appointment far more relaxed — and helps you actually picture each gown on your wedding day. Here’s what we suggest bringing.

The essentials

• Seamless, nude undergarments — a strapless bra and simple underwear photograph and fit best under gowns.
• Shoes near your wedding-day heel height — this helps you judge length and proportion.
• Inspiration — a few saved photos or a small mood board of looks you love (and ones you don’t).
• Your budget — tell your stylist up front so every gown we pull is one you can actually say yes to.

Who to bring

Bring the people who will cheer you on — not a crowd. Two or three trusted loved ones is the sweet spot; too many opinions can make the decision harder. Because Bliss is appointment-based, your group gets the fitting space to themselves.

A few extras

• Hair clip to lift your hair and preview an updo.
• Any heirloom accessory (veil, jewelry) you hope to wear.
• An open mind — sometimes “the one” is a silhouette you didn’t expect.
