âś… Pro Tips for Expecting Brides

  • Book early—10–14 months out is ideal.
  • Create a mood board with your top 3 dress traits (e.g., romantic, classic, sleeve).
  • Bring essentials: proper undergarments, shoes, and any veil/accessory ideas.
  • Keep your guest list small—too many voices can cloud your decision.
