We are less than one week away from the official launch of Julie’s bestselling book, Dressed, Styled, and Down the Aisle, and today, she will share her favorite tips from the book.
Completing the book has been a long yet fulfilling journey, and Julie cannot wait to share all the knowledge she has gathered over the years. Join us for Julie’s top tips!
Julie’s Top Tip
Julie believes that feeling confident in what you are wearing and how you look will shine through in all your pictures and help you have a great time without being bogged down by insecurity.
Understanding Your Shopping Style
You need to know what type of shopper you are because understanding your shopping preferences will simplify the planning for your wedding dress shopping experience.
Scheduling Appointments
Julie recommends scheduling at least three wedding dress appointments on the first day. The first appointment is for getting your feet wet and trying different shapes. By the third appointment, you start understanding what you like. She also recommends taking a lunch break to stay energized and refreshed.
Decision-Making Style
Understanding your decision-making style is crucial. All women make their decisions differently, and some may need more time to process all the information. Communicating your style to your consultant will ensure a smoother experience. Julie advises against making your final decision on the same day and suggests sleeping on it instead.
Preparing for Dress Fittings
Be prepared to try on dresses that do not fit perfectly. Most stores carry sample sizes that may not match your size, so you may need to use your imagination to visualize the final look. Being able to visualize changes is essential for avoiding frustration in those situations.
Buying for Your Current Body
Julie advises brides to buy a dress to fit the body they have today. While losing weight or changing your body is a personal choice, buying a dress expecting those changes can add unnecessary stress. Even though most dresses can get altered, it is essential to love the dress as it is when you first see it.
Utilizing Resources
Our Dream Wedding Dress Quiz is there to help brides discover the perfect silhouette and style tailored to their preferences. Unlike traditional quizzes that make assumptions based on body type alone, our quiz focuses on what you love to accentuate to ensure you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.
Knowing Your Timeline
Julie highlights the importance of following a structured but flexible timeline that includes scheduling fittings and buying dresses for bridesmaids and moms to ensure everything aligns and nothing gets overlooked.
