When you are newly engaged and planning your wedding, one thing on your list is to look for your wedding dress. It might seem convenient to look online. However, it is best to make your purchase at a bridal retail store. This will give you peace of mind and stops you from desperately hunting for a replacement dress because your dress may not be delivered in the best condition. The internet can be great for researching styles you like, but it might not be wise to use it for much more than that. Here are a few reasons why you need to visit your local bridal boutique for your wedding dress.
​

1.) Try On Dresses

You get the opportunity to try on wedding dresses, which allows you to feel and see the fabric. You will know if it’s a comfortable fit or not. There is nothing better than being able to put your hands on the dress so you can see every detail.

2) Receive Professional Assistance

The professionals in a bridal boutique can help in so many ways. They can help find a dress based on your needs. They can make suggestions for your body type and can assist with accessories. 

3) Inspect Dresses

With an up-close inspection, you can more easily tell whether a brand-name dress is the real thing or a knock-off. You can verify that the bridal store is an authorized retailer for the designer dress you want to purchase.

4) Build Relationships

Since you’re able to spend time at the salon, you have the opportunity to build and establish a relationship with your bridal consultant and management. You will have confidence that they’re taking care of you, even when you’re not physically there. You want to work with someone you trust as they will place and follow-up on your wedding dress, which usually takes months to arrive,
​
5) Enjoy a More Personalized Experience

Brides are offered a personalized experience at a boutique. "We personalize it from the first moment they come to the boutique to shop for a dress. The personalized service continues until they pick up the wedding dress and alterations have been completed",  says Deborah Collins, owner of The Dress Matters Bridal Boutique in Media, Pennsylvania. 

So, when it's time to buy your wedding dress, bring you family and friends with you to a bridal boutique to select your dress. It's a fun and memorable experience! Make an appointment at The Dress Matters to find your perfect dress.
