                     WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING GUIDE POST COVID-19 
PANDEMIC
• Year 2020 will go down in history as one of the most 
disruptive years. The pandemic COVID 19 that swept across 
the globe has dramatically changed everything, even 
something personal like weddings.
• With the new normal of isolation, social distancing, 
mandatory mask wearing and uncertainty, couples around 
the world are (forced to) reconsidering their upcoming 
nuptials.
• Steering through these emotional and logistical challenges 
only induces more stress and anxiety among the brides-to-
be.  Several Australian brides are now rescheduling their 
wedding for 2021 and even till the end of summers, 
navigating bridal gown shopping has become a real 
challenge. 
Here are few tips that will help you have pleasant and seamless wedding dress shopping experience:
• What to Do Before You Take an Appointment 
Bridal dress shopping, particularly during COVID 19 requires a little more prep work. Here are a few 
things to know before you head to a bridal boutique: 
• Call the Store and Schedule Appointment in Advance 
It’s always a good idea to schedule an appointment well in advance to avoid making the boutique 
crowded. Also, when you call, be sure you ask about the preventative safety measures to get a clear 
picture. 
• Do Research Thoroughly 
Doing a little homework before you visit the bridal boutique, especially during a pandemic. We come 
across several brides-to-be who are all lost in the world of wedding fashion. You can always surf 
Pinterest for some inspirations and even bring in a few pictures to give clarity to your vision. 
The day is finally here!  As you begin to try on bridal gowns, here are some tips you should keep in mind: 
• Avoid Bringing a Big Entourage 
Social distancing measures means you can’t bring a huge group of friends. However, this is actually a blessing 
in disguise. A tiny support system means you won’t have a myriad of conflicting opinions. This will make your 
shopping experience less stressful, ensuring you are not left frustrated and confused. 
• Talk Clearly, Without any Hesitation 
Under normal circumstances, the wedding consultants would easily figure out what’s going on in a bride’s 
mind. However, with all the mandatory masks, it’s difficult to read a bride’s expression. So, it’s always good 
to speak up. Be vocal and ask specific questions to ensure the consultants have a clear understanding of your 
requirements. 
• Ask About the Delivery Dates 
Thanks to the pandemic, brides-to-be should not rely on the typical wedding shopping timeline. While most 
of the boutiques are open, they are working at a slower pace. So, make sure you have clearly stated your 
wedding date to ensure you get it delivered right on the time.
