All you need to know
Are you coming to try on wedding dresses at Koonings for the first time? And do you want to be well prepared? Or just like to know what to expect during your first appointment? Easily click through to the topic you are looking for. Or make an appointment right away!
This is how you prepare
Let’s start at the beginning. Haven’t made an appointment to try on wedding dresses yet? Then don’t wait too long to do so! Start trying on wedding dresses at least 9 months in advance. The preliminary work, figuring out what you like and getting inspiration, is better done several months before.
How do you begin your search for your perfect wedding dress?
Start by creating a mood board. For example, use pinterest for inspiration. Or check out the collection of wedding dresses on the website. Don’t have much time to sit down for this for a long time? Then follow instagram or tiktok accounts. There’s plenty of daily inspiration here and you’ll be up to date with the latest collections too!
In addition, think about your budget in advance. Pointing this out to the stylist when you go to try on wedding dresses will prevent you from falling in love with a dress that is out of your budget.
Who are you taking?
Are you going to try on wedding dresses? Most brides don’t do that alone. You don’t want to be able to share this beautiful moment, the emotions and joy only with those close to you. Sometimes you also just need a little extra help in making choices. And who better to help you with that than those people who know you best?
The traditional company to try on wedding dresses often includes parents, in-laws, siblings, grandparents, and, of course, your closest friends. But it’s entirely up to you who you want to bring with you when you go to try on your wedding dress.
Note that a larger entourage does not always make it easier. Many people also means many opinions and they do not always agree with each other.
Trying on wedding dresses with your bridesmaids
Do you already know who your bridesmaids will be? Chances are they mean a lot to you. Wedding dress fitting with your bridesmaids is therefore a win-win situation. Not only are you sharing this moment with the people who are important to you, but you also have an immediate opportunity to coordinate your wedding dress with the bridesmaids’ dresses.
Trying on wedding dresses with your fiancé
Yes, trying on wedding dresses with your bride-to-be is also an option. When you bring your partner, you can be sure that he or she will love your wedding dress too.
But your fiancé doesn’t even necessarily need to see your dress. In fact, at Koonings you can come and try on together so that your outfits are matched. Your personal stylists will make sure everything matches without you having to see each other. How convenient!
This is what you take with you
When you go to try on wedding dresses, you want the best possible idea of how you will look in your dress on your big day. Therefore, it is helpful if you think of the following essentials:
Shoes
Have you found your wedding shoes yet? Then take them with you when you go to try on wedding dresses. Not sure yet what shoes you will wear, but are sure you want to wear heels on your big day? Then bring a pair of heeled shoes with the heel height and shape you have in mind. This will give you a better idea of your complete bridal look.
Accessories
Chances are you haven’t picked out bridal accessories yet when you go to try on wedding dresses. Of course, you want your accessories to match the dress you choose. But if you have a special accessory that you would like to wear, for example because it has emotional value, then it is smart to take it with you in advance when you go to try on wedding dresses. You can then see right away if it fits well with the dress of your dreams.
Inspirational photos or a mood board
You didn’t create that mood board for nothing. This is not only for your own inspiration but also to give your personal stylist a good idea of what you are looking for. This makes the appointment more fun and easier for everyone. And you increase your chances of finding your dream dress!
Think about what you wear to a fitting appointment
Lingerie
That you don’t yet know what bridal lingerie you want to wear we totally understand. Still, it is helpful to consider your lingerie when trying on wedding dresses. A strapless bra is a real must! Bra straps are highly visible in many models and this disturbs your impression of your bridal look. Do you have skin-colored lingerie in your closet. Then choose to put these on to your fitting appointment. This will be the least noticeable when trying on different wedding dresses.
Hair and makeup
Do your hair and makeup, or schedule an appointment for a trial haircut and makeup just before your fitting appointment. You then get a better idea of the overall picture once you have a dress on. You feel more confident and radiate more making that tying the knot easier.
Ask these questions
Almost every wedding dress is adjusted after the fitting. In size, in length but also in details. Are you close to your dream dress but there is something you are unsure about. Then ask about the possibilities. In many cases, we can customize your dress to completely fit your needs.
Important to remember
Take your time
Wedding dress fitting is a special moment and you should enjoy it. Never make an important decision when you feel pressured or because your appointment is about to end. Still in doubt? Then take some time to think about it and make another appointment to try on a wedding dress again. Make sure you try on all the dresses you like so you go home feeling confident and satisfied.
Be critical but open-minded
It’s about your wedding dress and you only choose it once. So it is important for you to be critical. Be honest about what you like and don’t like, and above all, don’t be afraid of hurting someone with it. After all, it’s all about you. But do stay open-minded. Professional stylists often know well what works and what doesn’t. Something you didn’t expect to like might look beautiful on you. Be open to suggestions and also try on wedding dresses that at first glance may not be quite what you are looking for.
Fabrics, comfort and freedom of movement
A wedding dress should not just look pretty. In addition, it is also important that you pay attention to practical matters. Find out what fabrics you like the feel of and walk around in your dress, too. The last thing you want is to not feel comfortable and your dress and can barely move in it. Keep in mind that your wedding dress will be perfectly tailored after the fitting.
Tie the knot
When you know, you know. There’s a perfect dress for everyone, and when you’ve found it, you know it. Still having doubts after trying on dozens of wedding dresses? Then it’s no big deal not to tie that knot yet. You are always welcome to try on new wedding dresses later. We will make a note of the wedding dresses you have already tried on and what you are unsure about so that at your second appointment we are sure to find your dream dress!
