Shopping Tips

2010-01-08T15:59:00.000-08:00

The following are tips to help you make the most of your bridal gown shopping experience.

1)It's important to have an actual wedding date and venue. A sales consultant will help you select a gown that is perfect for your wedding day.

2)Bring tear sheets, and photos from magazines, and downloaded web images of gowns you would like to try on. A consultant will make additional style recommendations based on your initial conversation and images you have shared.

3)Before scheduling an appointment, make sure the salons you have selected feature gowns in your price point and budget.

4)Finally, limit your shopping companions to the one or two people whose opinions you value the most. Gabrielle's Bridal Atelier offers a very intimate, private and high service experience.

Good Luck Ladies and Happy Shopping!
