It’s always a good idea to look up some bridal inspo before you head into the boutique!
Check out our social media and pinterest! Screenshot gowns that make you feel excited!
Make sure you find a few different styles - you never know what silhouette you may end up loving once you try them on!
Set a Budget
At Something Blue, our gowns start at $1500 and go up to $5000.
When you first call to make your appointment at SBB, we will ask you what your budget for a wedding gown is. This is so we can best serve you during your appointment, we would never put a $4000 gown on a bride who wants to spend $2000!
But keep in mind, if you tell us $2000 but you really are willing to go up to $3000, we won’t pull above $2000 unless you give us the ok!
Have Realistic Expectations

Come into your appointment with an open mind and remember you may end up loving something totally different than what you had envisioned!
Don’t put your focus on how your party is reacting, focus on how the gowns make you feel!
And remember, having “the feeling” when you put on “the one” doesn’t always mean you’ll burst into tears! It’s OK to just feel really beautiful and excited, no crying involved!
Savor the Moment
When you put on your gown, you’ll know it.
If you want to say yes, say yes! Everyone has a different experience and should savor their moment when they find their gown. We’ve seen brides get talked out of saying yes to their dress by their party only to come back in the middle of the week to buy it alone.
Don’t let anyone rain on your parade if you’re truly having your “yes” moment!
