Day in the life of getting your dream dress ready to meet you 👰‍♀️💍☁️

Natalie is checking in 3 brand new floor samples from @maggiesotterodesigns and they are SO stunning.

Before you find them out on the bridal boutique floor, they have a little post delivery journey fo go through, to make the cut. 📦

Which new dress is your favorite: Paige, Everleigh, or Hudson?

All of them are now quietly gracing the floor of Sophia’s in Southport (our flagship store with 10,000 sq ft of dresses ✨) and ready to meet you.

You never know, this could be your very first glimpse of the dress you say YES to 🤭

Read this if you’re worried about sizing ↓

Let’s chat about wedding dress sample sizes! 

If this is your first time wedding dress shopping, you might be a little worried about what that looks like.

Totally understandable. It’s actually super easy, and we have you covered with all the sizes 🥹. 

Basically, special order bridal boutiques (like Sophia’s) order sample gowns to have on the floor, so you can try-on and fall in love with your favorite.

Sometimes we’ll even order 2 of the same style, so we have one closer to your end of sizing.

Either way, your bridal stylist has had hours or training on how to clip and panel you into gowns, so you feel like it’s actually in your exact size!

When you know, you know.

Sometimes a little imagination is needed, so trust the process, trust yourself, your stylist, and your vision. ☺️👰‍♀️✨

It’s going to be absolutely perfect when it arrives special ordered, just for you.

What other bridal questions do you have?

Almost yes-es!! 🤭💍 The big reveal is saved for Jasmine’s wedding day, but these were runner-ups!

Save this to show your stylist, if these dresses match your personal bridal vibe. 

There’s no feeling quite like being surrounded by your favorite people, in the cutest space, feeling incredible about yourself, and knowing that you’re going to marry the love of your life.

What a magical season of life.

Iconic, so special, and subtly designed for a modern wedding feel.
If you love everything on Pinterest, but are nervous to actually try on dresses, this is for you. ↓

Here’s what your dream boards are not going to show you:

1. Most gowns are clipped, tailored, edited, and photographed to perfection.

2. Lighting, posing, and models can change everything.

3. You’re seeing a final look from one angle, not the feeling of wearing it, the way it moves, and the experience it gives you as a bride.

4. What you’re drawn to is often a vibe, not an exact dress. Showing your dream board to your stylist is a great way for them to see what you like, and pull common themes to lead to that dream dress!

So if nothing feels quite like your vision board yet, pause before you panic.

Pinterest is for inspiration, not expectations. 🤍

The magic truly happens when you stop comparing and start noticing what actually makes you feel confident, comfortable, and like yourself.

So get (super) excited, book a date to make it happen, text your favorite people, and take a deep breath. 

Your dream dress might not be your Pinterest board, but guess what?

We know it will be even better. 🤍

“I had an excellent experience at Sophia’s! They were respectful of staying within my budget and helped me find the perfect dress for me without feeling rushed. They were kind and encouraging and had great tips for helping me through the decision-making process… I found a dress that embodies my personality and style in dress form. I left feeling my decision was made in peace and confidence. I would recommend Sophia’s to any bride looking for a dress that’s “just right” for them.”

“My experience here was absolutely amazing!!! The store was stunning and the selection there was impressive!! My attendant Reagan was awesome!!!! She was so personable and easy to work with! She did an amazing job picking dresses based off of what I told her of my style! I was worried going in that I would have a hard time finding something I liked because I had a unique style I was going for but I ended up finding so many wonderful dresses and was torn between two!! Reagon made the appointment truly special and I am so grateful for that! If you are a future bride looking for the perfect dress you need to experience Sophia’s! You will not be disappointed!!!”

– Logan, Sophia’s Bride

“…they were the ONLY store around willing to go above and beyond to make my dreams come true. Elyssa, my Sophia’s consultant, was able to contact the designer and order a sample of the dress I was after and have it sent to the store for me. During my appointment I was able to try on my dream dress, as well as several others, and was given the royal treatment. I ultimately said yes to my dream dress, and I’m so happy to be a Sophia’s Bride!!”
