Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of your bridal journey. It’s a moment filled with emotion, joy, and sometimes even a few happy tears! But one of the biggest decisions you’ll make—aside from selecting the perfect gown—is deciding who to bring to your bridal appointment.
At Lula Ann Bridal, we always recommend bringing a small group of your closest friends and family—the people who truly know you, support you, and will help you say “Yes” with confidence. Here’s how to choose the best guests for your special appointment.
1. Your Biggest Supporters
Your bridal appointment should be a positive, uplifting experience, and the people you bring should reflect that energy. Whether it’s your mum, sister, best friend, or future mother-in-law, your guests should be supportive, encouraging, and honest—without being too opinionated.
Think about who makes you feel your most beautiful and confident. If someone tends to be overly critical or has very different style preferences, they might not be the best fit for this moment.

2. People Who Know Your Style
Bringing guests who understand your personal style can be a huge help when choosing a dress. If you love classic elegance, someone who adores modern, edgy fashion might steer you in a direction that doesn’t feel like “you.”
Your bridal party should be made up of those who truly understand your vision for your wedding day. They can help you find a dress that not only looks stunning but also feels like the perfect reflection of your personality.

3. A Small, Intimate Group
While it may be tempting to invite all your bridesmaids, cousins, and extended family, we recommend keeping your guest list small—around two to four people.
A larger group can lead to too many opinions, conflicting feedback, and an overwhelming experience. Keeping it intimate ensures that the focus remains on you and your dream dress.
4. Your VIP Guests
If there are special people in your life whose opinions matter most, make sure they’re part of this moment. This could be:
- Your Mum or Mother Figure – Often the most emotional guest, she’s been dreaming of this moment just as much as you have!
- Your Best Friend or Maid of Honour – She knows your style and will help you balance excitement with practicality.
- Your Sister or Close Relative – If you have a sister or cousin who feels like a sister, their honest yet loving feedback will be invaluable.
- Your Future Mother-in-Law – If you have a close relationship, inviting her can be a wonderful way to bond before the big day.
5. Someone Who Helps You Say “Yes!”
Choosing your wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you need guests who will celebrate with you when you find “the one.”
Look for people who bring positive energy, who can offer kind and constructive feedback, and who will get just as emotional as you when you step into the dress.
