Wedding Dresses at True Society (2024)

WHAT DO I WEAR UNDER A WEDDING DRESS?

The answer to this will vary greatly depending on the design, size and silhouette of your wedding dress. For some dresses, wearing a strapless nude bra will be the best option. You can also choose to have a bust cup sewn into your dress, which is ideal for a gown with a sheer bodice. Consider nude shapewear underneath your dress, as that will be the least noticeable and keep everything smooth under the gown. Shapewearcomes in all varieties, so be sure to work with your bridal stylist to get the best advice for your specific shape, silhouette and bridal gown.

WHO SHOULD I TAKE WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING?

Finding your dream dress should be a memorable moment shared with your closest family and friends. Most of our brides have success bringing anywhere from one to six guests to accompany them at our bridal shops, but we welcome you to bring whoever’s opinions you value and trust the most. You are also welcome to call anyone who is unable to make the appointment! We ultimately want you to feel confident and gorgeous when you stand in front of the mirror in one of our gowns, because we know that shopping for a wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A BUSTLE FOR MY WEDDING DRESS?

It is important to note that the type of bustle you choose depends on your bridal gown, as some dresses may be easier to alter than others. The length of the train, the shape of the dress and the fabric are all important factors when choosing a bustle.

WHAT TO DO WITH AN OLD WEDDING DRESS?

As most brides choose white wedding dresses rather than other colors, we know how hard it can be to reuse a bridal gown after the wedding. So what can you do? You can preserve your dress to keep it as a memento, but there are also some creative options to consider. Dyeing the dress a different color, or altering it to a shorter length will allow you to wear it again and again. You may also wish to donate or sell the dress to another bride-to-be that may not be able to afford a brand-new dress.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING APPOINTMENT?

While wedding dress shopping, we recommend wearing skin tone undergarments (strapless bra, shapewear etc.) as some thinner dresses may allow bright colors to show through. We also recommend wearing the shoes or heels that you plan on wearing at your wedding (if you have them), as well as any accessories you have already selected so you can see it all come together. For more tips, consult your bridal stylist before heading to a bridal shop near you for your appointment!
