Tips & Advice: Randy’s 5 Rules of Wedding Dress Shopping
Have you watched “Say Yes To The Dress” on TLC? Well, Randy (my favorite person on the show), fashion director at Klenfield, a bridal salon in New York, came up with five rules for wedding dress shopping. I thought it’d be fun to share! In no particular order,
1. Do NOT keep shopping for a wedding dress when you’ve already found one – this causes confusion if you do find another dress you like. I think Randy said that 9 out of 10 times, you will stick with the original dress.
2. Do NOT keep secrets from your bridal consultant – he/she is there to help you find “the one”.
3. Do NOT try dresses on that are out of your budget – You’ll regret it and unless you end up buying that out-of-budget dress, no other dress may live up to it.
4. Leave the entourage at home – I think it’s okay to have a select few whose opinions you value the most, but when there are a bunch of differing opinions especially about a dress you love, it leads to confusion.
5. Always wear underwear – I think this is pretty self-explanatory. I will say, though, that they offered underwear for you to try on with the dresses at the bridal shop I went to!
Randy also mentioned that of course, there are always exceptions to the rules! =)
