Karly’s Corner - What’s Your Wedding Gown Style?

You've seen her before on our IGTV and our Real Bride by Enzoani series on YouTube, and now she's back! Enzoani Brand Ambassador Karly Komoroske from Blush Bridal Couture in Tustin, California teams up with us here to answer our brides' frequently asked questions during these crazy times. We want to help put your minds at ease!

We know the world looks a little different right now, and so can weddings. But for when you're ready to start (or resume) your wedding planning and wedding dress shopping, we're here to help!

The topics today? Let us tell you!

- Your "To-Do" list before shopping for a wedding dress

- What exactly is your wedding dress style?

- PLUS, a few other tidbits here and there...

Let's get started!

Karly: "You will pick your venue for a reason; as you were touring the venue and looking through options, you slowly started to imagine what your big day will look like. Your vows could be said here, your best friend could potentially give their speech here, the first toast of the night could be hosted here, your first dance could possibly go here or here... the list goes on. 

While you were imagining the events of your wedding, you might have also imagined yourself in some sort of gown that would accompany your venue and aesthetic."

Karly: "So after you've found your venue, confirmed a date - what's next? We're going to find you your dream gown now and we have some tips for you!

• What's your everyday wear?
  • Think about your style; where do you usually shop at? Your gown will be a reflection of you and your personality. Boho, clean, modern, preppy, classic, or anything that can really describe you... Tell your bridal consultant, and they will pull something for you that hopefully fits those keywords. It's not a costume and you're not dressing up as a bride -- you are dressing yourself as a bride.
• It is trial and error.
  • Your bridal consultant will be pulling dresses from what you've described and showed her through your inspo photos. If you're able to have an in-store appointment, you will start trying them on and narrowing down what you like and dislike. Maybe you'll love this silhouette, or elements of how this gown looks on you... have fun with it!
• Keep an open mind. 
  • You'll never know until you try, right? Try on that mermaid silhouette instead of the ball gown you wanted. Get the gown without the straps, or that dramatic train. Something you said you swore off or thought you hated might actually turn out to be something you love. 
• Take photos - if possible!
  • Disclaimer, depending on different store policies, this may not apply to all bridal stores, as some will not let guests take photos in their stores.  But if they do, trust us, this will come in handy when narrowing down your final gowns if you're torn between options A, B, or C."
