The only accessory you need is your engagement ring!
Underwear -be comfortable! Try nude or flesh coloured bra and pants. Most dresses have cups therefore you may not need a bra at all.
Deodorant – yes even with the air con it could be warm trying on lots of dresses so freshen up before you arrive – your consultant will be getting up close and personal – to make sure you get into the dress properly.
Footwear – if you have your wedding shoes, bring them along. No problem at all if you haven’t.
If you are getting married in wellies for your farm or marquee wedding or Jimmy Choos or Louboutins for the Stately Home or 5* hotel then these need to be taken into account when choosing your dress, and later, for any alterations needed. If you are waiting until you choose the dress it does make it easier. Consider the venue location and style when choosing your dress and footwear.
Most boutiques will have hair ties or bands to tie your hair back but you could bring something with you, if you’d prefer.
Accessories – if you already have a family heirloom you want to incorporate with your dress; hair accessory, belt or veil then do bring those with you (or a photo on your phone).
Clothing – wear something that is easy to take off.
Robes – at Saltaire Bridal we have a branded robe for you to wear during the dress changes so you can walk around without showing everything off to your entourage!
Tans and makeup – less is more, keep it to a minimum. Bear in mind you will be close to and trying on light coloured dresses so you don’t need to be fully tanned or fully made up.
