Your bridal appointment at Curve Bridal Collection is all about celebrating you: your style, your curves, your personality, and the moment you step into a gown that feels like it was made just for you. 

To help you feel relaxed and ready for an incredible experience, here’s a simple guide to what you’ll want to bring (and what you won’t need) before your Curve appointment.

Arriving With Your Personal Support Team

Choosing your wedding dress is a major milestone, and having a small group of supportive loved ones with you can make the moment even more special. 

At Curve, we recommend bringing 2-3 guests, but we can accommodate up to 5 guests in our standard suite or 10 guests in our VIP suite. That way, you can share the experience with those who encourage you, respect your vision, and cheer you on with genuine excitement. 

Whether it’s your partner, your sister, your mom, or your closest friend, bringing the people who help you feel comfortable and confident sets the tone for a joyful appointment.

Choosing Undergarments That Help You See the True Fit

The undergarments you wear to your appointment don’t need to be elaborate, but wearing nude, seamless pieces can help you get a more accurate sense of how each gown fits and moves. 

Many plus-size brides appreciate seeing how a dress lays over smoother foundations, especially in silhouettes with structure or fitted bodices. If you plan to wear shapewear on your wedding day, feel free to bring it—but it’s completely optional. Your stylist will help you into each gown and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

Bringing a Heel Height Similar to What You Envision

There’s no need to know your exact wedding shoes yet, but having a pair of heels with a similar height to what you think you’ll wear can help you gauge length and movement during try-ons. 

This isn’t required at all for your first visit, it simply helps some brides picture the final look more clearly. If you’re unsure, your stylist can guide you on what works best for the gowns you’re considering.

What You Don’t Need to Worry About

One of the best parts of shopping at Curve is that you don’t need to come in with a list of dresses or pull gowns yourself. Our stylists handle all of that for you. 

Once we chat about your style, preferences, and wedding details, your stylist curates a selection designed to flatter your curves beautifully and align with your vision. No experience necessary, just come ready to explore and enjoy.

Keeping Your Timeline and Budget in Mind

It’s helpful to know your wedding date and general budget before your appointment so we can guide you toward dresses that align with both. Most gowns take several months to arrive, and alterations require additional time. Having those details handy ensures a smooth, stress-free process once you’ve found your gown.

Your Appointment, Designed Just For YOU

Shopping at Curve Bridal Collection is a one-of-a-kind experience designed exclusively for curvy and plus-size brides. With a dedicated stylist, a thoughtfully curated selection, and a relaxed, tasteful space, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy an unforgettable appointment.

Come with an open mind, a supportive crew, and undergarments that help you feel your best—we’ll take care of the rest. Book your bridal appointment with us today!
