MTV at Lorna’s?????

Last week we got a call from a customer that MTV was filming her daughter as part of a reality show about the girls on her school’s Homecoming Court. They asked for permission to film her shopping for her dress here in Lorna’s!

After signing releases (and getting a few butterflies!) they filmed here Saturday morning. Two things stood out in the experience: 1) Reality shows really aren’t totally reality. They do things like, “Okay, let’s go back outside and film your entrance again…” And 2) You actually do kind of get used to the camera and start to act like yourself – which can be a good or bad thing!

After filming for 1 1/2 hours, I asked the producer, “Now with all you’ve filmed here, you’re probably going to only use, what? Maybe 15 seconds?” She agreed that that was actually pretty accurate. They have to condense and make a show from many hours of footage gained from following five girls for two weeks. Let’s hope Lorna’s makes it in the show which should air either December or February!

Tips for Your Atlanta Bridal Appointment

You’ve picked a place to do your shopping for that special dress and need to know what comes next. Here are a few tips that may help to make the experience the best it can be.

 

When Attending Your Atlanta Bridal Appointment, Choose Your Audience Carefully

This is one of the most important things about the whole Atlanta Bridal experience. The people who accompany you to your Atlanta bridal appointment can be key in finding the dress of your dreams. Imagine finding a dress you love but having a hard time committing because of a vocal, negative friend or relative who tells you that you look “fat” in it. Often people project what they want into your experience. You don’t want to choose a dress unwisely, but you also don’t want a “Debbie Downer” who finds fault in everything you love.

On the same note, it is important to only bring a couple of key people with you to your Atlanta bridal appointment. If people’s opinions matter to you, imagine how hard a time you may have getting a large group to agree on the same dress. The more people there are, the more opinions. Many times with a large group, no decision can be made. Though we care what others think, in reality, the person who really counts is YOU.

Don't Invite Children to Your Atlanta Bridal Appointment

Also, do everyone a favor and don’t invite children. Children do not enjoy the Atlanta bridal dress shopping experience and can make it frustrating and exhausting for everyone involved. This is one time when “adults only” – or at least over 12 – is the best policy.

Planning On Inviting Your Fiancé to Your Atlanta Bridal Appointment?

Times are changing and some people want their fiancé to assist in choosing their Atlanta bridal dress. All superstition aside, it can work but be aware of a couple of things: first of all, the dress almost certainly matters more to the bride than it does to the groom. Sometimes a groom can offer an opinion that is contrary to what the bride wants. He probably doesn’t really care that much. Most guys aren’t as emotionally invested in The Dress as the bride – but the bride will have it in her mind that she really wants to please him so she becomes swayed and may forego what she wants. The second thing is that there are so few surprises left in life. It’s still a fun, tender moment for the groom to see his bride for the first time with make-up perfect and hair done in her beautiful dress. Carefully consider these things before agreeing to bring your future spouse, then go for it if you’re sure it’s right for you.

When you have decided whom to bring to your Atlanta bridal appointment, take a moment and think about what to wear. Most Atlanta bridal salons will have a consultant assist you in the dressing room. Wearing a good bra is a good idea as well as any undergarment you plan to also use. (For example, “Spanx.”) It goes without saying that you should come clean and fresh.  Also, if your plan is to have your hair in an up-do on your big day, consider at least bringing a clip or elastic to give yourself a chance to imagine the full effect.

Finally, make sure you know the length of time allotted to your Atlanta bridal appointment and schedule your time accordingly.  Please contact us at (770) 466-7227 or visit our Atlanta Bridal site to see what we have to offer.

Have a wonderful time  at your Atlanta bridal appointment picking out the most important dress of your life!
