My guide to starting wedding planning by local Orlando bride, Bailey. At 30 years old, my Notes app and Pinterest board weren’t short of dreamy inspo, but after soaking in the engagement for the next few days, my thoughts started becoming “where do I even begin?”

I think many of us daydream about our wedding as children and some of us have attended/been in other weddings, but when our own engagement happens, we’re awestruck and feel frozen in time!

Okay, moms! This one is for you! We get asked about mother of the bride and groom dresses all the time! We created this special guide answering all the key questions on styling. Learn about the right color and length to wear. Plus, tons of alterations tips. There are over 45 mother of the bride dresses featured on the guide. Shop our guide and find your dress for the wedding.

You are entering the most fun, stressful, exciting, nerve-wracking era of your life. It’s going to be great! 

One of the most common things I hear as a bridal stylist when I sit down with my bride before their appointments start is some rendition of “I’m so nervous”, “I’ve never tried on dresses before, I don’t know what I like”, “what if I don’t like anything”, “what if I like everything!”. You name it, I’ve heard it. So trust me when I say, I’ve got you. I’ve curated 10 insider secrets for a stress-free wedding dress shopping experience in Orlando. Let’s dive in!

At The Bridal Finery, we focus on more than just the perfect dress, we focus on full styling. From gown to undergarments, it really is about the full bridal vision. During your wedding dress shopping appointment, we will recommend various styles of veils for you to try. These veils will pair perfectly with your dress.
