As a bridal boutique, we at Kathryn’s Bridal often encounter nervous mothers worried about what to say or do during their daughter’s wedding gown dress shopping appointment. So many thoughts and concerns run through the mind of a mom! Some commonly asked questions include:

When your daughter is ready to say “yes” to the dress and joy is beaming from her face, please do not deflate her moment by suggesting she “sleep on it.” The actual excitement for her is in the very minute she knows this is her dress. Suggesting she leave the shop empty-handed to spend the evening thinking about a dress will only create hesitation and doubt. Questioning her at this decision-making time can often crush her self-esteem and create confusion. In our experience, brides are looking to Mom for support. So, share in her joy and excitement! Tell her congratulations when she decides!

Wishing all our brides and mothers the most wonderful shopping experience ever!
