Shopping for a wedding dress is a special moment in the life of any bride, but especially a Dallas bride because of the city’s tradition of lavish weddings.  Finding the right dress is a must for every Dallas bride-to-be.

To make sure that you find the right wedding dress, I would like to share a few of the top bridal shops in Dallas and some wedding dress shopping tips.

The first thing to do when planning your trip is to make sure you line up an ultimate afternoon of pampering.  Set up an appointment at a nearby salon for a manicure, massage, and an up-do.  Putting your hair up will provide you with a better view of the neckline of the dress. 

Also reserve a table at a hot lunch spot and rent a luxury SUV in Dallas so that you can arrive in style. Enjoy your day and keep it as comfortable and stress free as possible.

Next, make sure you follow these wedding dress shopping tips before you visit your first bridal shop:

• Wedding Dress Shopping Tip #1: Take along only one or two other people whose opinions you trust the very most.  Too many opinions will make it harder for you to decide how you feel about the wedding dresses.
• Wedding Dress Shopping Tip #2: Don’t forget to schedule time for lunch when shopping for your wedding dress.  It’s easy to forget to eat while shopping, and wedding dress shopping is shopping on steroids.
• Wedding Dress Shopping Tip #3: Take a notebook to jot down information about your favorite wedding dresses.  By the end of the day, it may be hard to remember the specifics of each dress you liked.
• Wedding Dress Shopping Tip #4: Make your appointments with the best DFW bridal shops well in advance.  Appointments fill up fast, especially during the springtime, the peak DFW wedding season.
• Wedding Dress Shopping Tip #5: Consider working with one of Dallas top wedding planners to help make your dress a perfect fit for your wedding’s theme.

So you have your two best friends, your notebook for keeping impressions of your favorite wedding dresses, and your lunch plans. Which Dallas bridal shops are the best places to find a drop dead gorgeous wedding dress?  According to Citysearch, these three are the “must go” bridal shops:

• Blush Couture:  This bridal boutique is one of the newest in Uptown, and it features a fashion-forward design aesthetic and a wide selection of sophisticated gowns.  This shop is proud of its personalized service.

• Priscilla of Boston, Dallas:  This salon offers couture bridal dresses from popular designer Priscilla of Boston, as well as other featured designers.  Patrons praise the quality and service.

• Bridal Portfolio:  Also a top pick from wedding wesite The Knot, this salon features bridal gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses, and accessories.  Reviewers praise the customer service and patience of the staff.

Check out Citysearch for some of the other popular Dallas bridal salons! Also consider adding a dose of fun to your wedding by renting a classic car for your wedding and making your first drive as man and wife a special memory.

Best of luck on your wedding dress shopping. I hope these wedding dress shopping tips will help you.
