From working with so many brides over the years, we realized that often the hardest part for them is getting started. So we decided to expand our services by offering "The Essentials," an hour-long consultation that demystifies the bridal gown shopping experience.

"The Essentials" is guaranteed to provide a targeted gown shopping plan. We focus on educating the bride and in doing so saving her valuable time.

How it works

• The first step is discussing your personal style, body type, and budget.  Through a series of in-depth questions, we gain a better knowledge of who you are and what you want to look like on your wedding day.
• We then talk about the styles, shapes, and fabrics that are right for you and work with your wedding style.
• Work with our exclusive Designer Library, a one-of-a-kind resource of information for brides.  Each designer in the Library has been hand selected by us and features runway and still photos from their latest collections and specific dress information.
• Learn what to expect from bridal dress shopping (what information to make sure you tell your consultant, the best time to visit the salons, etc.).
• Learn the industry "lingo" so you understand what everyone is talking about (Who knew you could do a double French bustle on a cathedral length train!?!?).

The Results

After spending an hour with The Stylish Bride, you will be armed and ready to begin (or continue) shopping for the perfect wedding dress.  At the end of the consultation you will leave with "Your Essentials" which are:

• The best shapes and styles for your body type
• A list of designers to focus on
• The contact information for the stores that you should visit
• An information packet to help you through the process including a check list of what to bring on your appointments, a cheat sheet of industry lingo, and an insider's list of resources for things that you may need such as undergarments, shoes, seamstresses, etc.
