Tip of the Day: Use a bookmarking service, like Bridal Guide's Scrapbook tool, to collect ideas of dresses that you love before heading to your dress appointment. "Then, send that to your bridal stylist at the salon prior to your appointment. It will help smaller more personalized boutique owners and stylists pre-select dresses they feel you will like best, and will make the shopping experience more enjoyable," says Malinda Macari from Your Dream Bridal.
