Congratulations - you’re engaged! Now that your Pinterest boards are brimming with ideas and your camera roll is packed with dreamy dress inspo, it’s time to take one of the most exciting steps of all: booking your first bridal appointment.
At Loretta Bridal Boutique, we know this is more than just a shopping trip - it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As a mother-daughter team with over 45 years of combined experience, we’re here to make you feel confident, cared for, and celebrated every step of the way. So if you're wondering what to expect during your first visit, we’ve laid it all out for you below!
Before You Arrive
Once your appointment is booked, there are just a few things you can do to prepare:
Wear nude undergarments - they’ll help you get a clear look at how each gown fits and feels.
Bring shoes similar to the height you’ll wear on your big day.
Limit your guest list to a few close friends or family members who know your style best.
Keep an open mind! Many brides fall in love with a dress they didn’t expect.
When you arrive at our boutique, you’ll be welcomed by either Meg or Lillie, your dedicated bridal stylist. We’ll begin with a quick tour of the boutique so you can feel at home and get familiar with our gown collections.

Then comes the fun part - browsing! You’ll take some time to look through our hand-selected designer gowns and pull a few that speak to you. Not sure what you're looking for yet? No problem. We’ll be there to guide you and offer expert suggestions based on your preferences. In the fitting room, we’ll begin trying on your picks. This is where your vision really starts coming to life! As you try on each gown, your consultant will take note of what you love (and what you don’t) and may suggest other styles that match your taste.
We’ll also walk you through the many customization options available for each gown, so you can see how it might be tailored to suit your exact vision. Once you’ve narrowed it down to your top favorites, we’ll revisit them together and help you compare how each one feels and fits. Our goal is to help you make a confident decision and say yes to a dress you absolutely love. And if you do find “the one,” you’re in expert hands - our incredible seamstress, Eglea, handles all in-house alterations to ensure your gown fits like a dream. |

Your dress journey should feel just as special as your wedding day - and we’re honored to be a part of it. Book your appointment today, and let’s find the dress that was made just for you!
