So far I've been taking my friend who works in bridal. Good to have someone who works in that field and knows what they are on about it was originally planned that my mum and my maid of honour would attend with me but due to work and other things they are unable to do this with me. I'm only sticking with maximum two people and my children (9,4,2) nice to have them included in everything.
Really it's up to you who you choose to take with you. At the end of it it's only going to be what you want anyway they are just there to advise and support x

Just my mom and MOH, my other bridesmaid would come too but is currently working abroad. I'm sure she'll definitely come along to everything she can as soon as she's home so then it'll be my mom and both bridesmaids :D

Just my mum. The way she looked at me when I found my dress confirmed that I'd found "the one".

Sister in law to be, maid of honour, maybe my mother and possibly my mother in law to be (get on better with her than my mother)

I found my dress in the first bridal shop I went to! I took my mum, mother in law, and my sister (who's also my maid of honor)! Then I went back to try my dress on again with my bridesmaids! X

I just went with my mum as I'm easily swayed by others. Took my bridesmaids to my fittings. Can't wait to put my dress on this Saturday. 6/5/17 xXx

Mother in law to be, 2 friends (would have had mum and sisters too if they didn't live opposite sides of the country) xx

Just mum. Not even my bridesmaids are seeing dress until the day

Just my mom. Didn't want too many opinions as that can sway your own, also I want it to be a surprise for everyone, not 5 people telling everyone they know what my dress is like.

UKbride Administrator 3 May 2017

I just took my mother in law, as my mum passed away a long time ago. I was able to keep my dress and how it looked on me a secret from some people until I was walking down the aisle.

I took my dad, mum, mother in law and sister :)

I expect that I'll probably go alone, I'd like to have at least someone I know there, but to be honest it will probably end up just being me.

It was just my mum that went with me to the first few places and once we got a better idea of what suited me and we liked, I took my bridesmaids as well. I wanted to take my mother in law to be and sister in law to be but I said yes to the dress before I could do that!! Will be taking them to the fittings though

My mum came with me cos I had seen a dress I loved and we were both off that day. Went on the off chance we could get seen. I loved the dress. I then took my sister, dad and mil to see the dress before I ordered it. X

I went by myself as I wanted to concentrate on what I like and what I didn't, rather than other peoples opinions confusing me!!! The ladies in the Bridal Shop were great-I would value their opinion more than anybody elses as they see so many dresses on many different shapes and sizes.

I just took my mum and sister who was MOH, most places don't have the room for you to take loads of people and it makes it hard to pick with too many opinions!

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 3 May 2017

I went with my mum, sister who is a bridesmaid and best friend who is chief bridesmaid then i went back to the same shop a second time with my mum and step dad and chose my dress.

UKbride Administrator

I went with my Mum to the first couple of shops, then with friends to the last one where I found a dress I liked, so I took my Mum and another friend to the next appointment. I ended up choosing a completely different dress :)

I went on my own .... I tried asking my married sister but she cancelled as too busy .... I didn't wish to miss the sales so continued the search on my own .......
Eventually on a Tuesday on a February I discovered the one I liked at last .... Returned on the sat with 1 of my bridesmaids who was free & I other friend to double check they thought it was ok .... & yay it is the one !!
.... The main person who helped me make up my mind was the dresser in the shop ...she was really gifted & got me to look at one more when I was unsure .... She made a difference !!!!

Clare Lily this is the page I was talking about. Really worth a follow. It kept me calm all the way through the planning cos you see that other brides have all the same questions you have and feeling exactly the same as you :) always here if you want any help even just a soundboard to bounce ideas around :) xxx
