The holidays are one of the most magical times of the year — full of sparkle, family gatherings, and love stories in the making. It’s also one of our favorite seasons here at Elle Mae Bridal, as so many brides-to-be step into this season of joy ready to find the dress of their dreams!
Whether you’re newly engaged under the twinkle lights or deep in wedding planning mode, here’s how to make the most of your bridal shopping experience this holiday season:
1. Book Early — Our Calendar Fills Fast!
With engagements happening left and right, December through February is one of the busiest times for bridal appointments. Secure your spot early so we can give you the full Elle Mae experience — private fitting rooms, personalized one-on-one attention, and all the time you need to fall in love with the dress.
📅 Pro Tip: Weekday appointments often offer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere .
2. Come with a Vision — But Keep an Open Heart
Pinterest boards and saved Instagram inspo are wonderful starting points, but sometimes the dress that steals your heart isn’t the one you expected! Trust our experienced stylists to guide you — they’re pros at reading your style and helping you see the magic in a gown that truly fits you.
💫 Remember: we’re not just finding a dress; we’re helping you find the one that tells your story.
3. Bring Your Bride Tribe — Or a Peaceful Few
We know the holidays are full of family visits and reunions, and it’s tempting to bring everyone to your appointment! But when it comes to finding your gown, less is often more. Bring your most supportive and honest voices — the ones who know your heart and style best.
🎁 Bonus Tip: If your loved ones can’t make it, we can help you set up a virtual reveal during your appointment!
4. Dress for the Occasion
Wear neutral undergarments and light makeup, and bring any shoes or accessories you’ve already chosen. We want you to see yourself as the bride you’ll be on your big day — whether that’s a rustic barn wedding, a candlelit chapel, or a winter wonderland affair.
5. Celebrate the Moment
Finding your dress is a once-in-a-lifetime memory, and we’re honored to be part of it. Take photos, toast with your favorite bubbly afterward, and soak in every bit of the joy — this is your yes moment.
At Elle Mae Bridal, we believe every bride deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful — especially during this season of light and love.
So, if you’re ready to make this holiday one to remember…
