SAVE + SHARE these wedding dress shopping tips! In honor of picking up my wedding dress and reception dress yesterday a throwback to shopping last year maltoncouture where I got two dream dresses for our wedding next month. I genuinely had THEEEEE best wedding dress shopping experience and I think this is what helped. Also, it was by chance but my associate at Malton, Alina was AMAZING. 

1. I made a mood board but was flexible to try on different things. 
2. My dress shopping crew were who I knew would give me good energy, help me feel confident, be honest but also support whatever decision I made! 
3. I did my hair and makeup to feel extra confident and not have to imagine the dress plus being dolled up. 
4. I chose a store with sample sizes that fit me. Disclaimer I went shopping when I felt most confident in my body size. I think this is important. 
5. I made an effort to have fun and my girls + big sister made sure of that. They started the day with gifts and we ended the day with brunch and margs!
