I can't believe how fast these past 4 months have gone. I am beyond excited to try my dress on (especially after dropping some weight) and I can't wait to show it to my MOH and grandmother who will be accompanying my mom and me to the fitting.

 

Any suggestions on what to do/bring? I will bring shoes and my undergarments that I will wear on my wedding day. I am wearing my hair up that day. Should I do it up then, too?

    I planed to get my veil during my fitting so I did my hair as close as I could to how I plan to have it for the wedding to give me a better idea.  I also brought my jewelry just to get a more "complete" picture.  However, I'm a very visual person so I needed to see it all together.

    Enjoy!!!

    I would definitely put your hair up. Also, plan to have someone take pictures of the dress from all angles whiles you're in it, and bring a small notebook/pad of paper and pen to make note of any outstanding alterations that will need to be done and what they will cost, so that you can bring that to your next fitting and ensure you're on track and nothing has been missed.

    Make sure you doll up a bit. I know not everyone wears makeup and does their hair on a daily basis, so some people need to be reminded to do that. I know I look very different not done up, and I would not be a good judge of how the dress looked on me if I didn't look at all like I would on my wedding day.

    Eat like how you would eat on your wedding day! Like if you plan on eating oatmeal, than eat oatmeal that day. That way your belly bloating and all that can be as close as possible.

    That's what I would do, anyway. I'm a pretty extreme bloater.

    Yaaay! So fun - take pictures!

    I brought my shoes only as the seamstress provided necessary undergarments & I wasn't sure what would work under the dress. I actually didn't get dolled up as Addie suggested (because I was terrified of getting any makeup on the dress), but I did for the second fitting and agree that it makes you feel much better about the overall "look".
