I am bringing mom, 2 BM's and 1 of my 2 MOH's

We are going to 2 places. After the first place my MOH and 1 BM have to leave because my MOH has her nephew's christening party and my BM has work.

I am bringing with my white shoes that are the about the height of the shoes i want to wear underneath my dress, pantyhose, strapless bra, putting m hair up in a ponytail of somesort, wearing jeans and a button down shirt. I am also bringing a bottle of water and some snacks for me.

Is there anything else I need???

chippa,

when you're in the store and if you find the dress you like, try it out with different lenght veils.

I regret not doing it, and having to choose the veil without seeing how it would look with the dress.

Definitely a scrunchie for the hair. The sales person will show you different bridal tiaras and veils and it will give you a good idea how you will look. Good Luck!!!!

Melissa: I also brought a notebook with me and my mom would write down all the dreses I tried on (the name of the designer and style no.).

I think you're all set! Definitely try on veils when you have a dress on - I did and I picked my veil that matched my dress. Have fun!

My suguestions:

Wear something comfortable while you change in and out to try on numerous bridal gowns. Oh yeah... wear a strapless bra when trying on gown with no sleeves.

Put some make-up on to visualize yourself on that big day with the gown on. Ask yourself: 'Is this *the* gown I want?'

Fix your hair to visualize yourself on that big day.

Go with your MOH, BM's and both mothers for moral support!

Bring shoes with heals to also visualize yourself on that big day. If you don't have your actual bridal shoe yet, just bring shoes with heals.

If possible (depending on the store) bring a camera as it's an important time of your life. Dress shopping time and pic's of you and your girls dress shopping.

Have fun! Enjoy!

HOw are you wearing your hair that day?
Also put your hair in any similar style, even if it's not done. If you're wearign your hair up, then put the ponytail high
