Two Embarcadero Center, Street Level www.batterbakery.com | 415.674.1069 I s that dream wedding dress evading you? Perhaps it’s time to stop looking harder and start looking smarter. Here are a few tips from Grace Young, Buyer at Bridal Galleria, the West Coast’s leading couture bridal salon: 1. Plan ahead. Book an appointment so you have the proper amount of time to shop without the pressure of running back to work. 2. Have a budget in mind. Our gowns start at primarily $2500 and go up to $15,000. Let your stylist know to stay within your comfort zone. 3. Stay open minded about styles. Don’t be afraid to step out of the box and try on all different types of gowns. Our bridal stylists are here to create the most amazing look that you may not have thought of! 4. Don’t bring a huge crowd. This is not reality TV. Only bring people whose opinions you value. 5. Come with pictures of dresses you like. It’s very helpful for your stylist to have a visual of your taste. 6. Bring your own strapless bra & shoes for your appointment. Please don’t wear black undergarments as they show through the gowns. Otherwise, we are happy to provide ones you can borrow. 7. Trust your eyes. Don’t rely on the blurry pictures you’ve taken of the dresses you’ve tried on. While they may be helpful to refresh your memory, don’t eliminate dresses based on bad pictures. We are happy to help you take the best pictures possible while you are here. Three Embarcadero Center, Lobby Level | www.bridalgalleria.com | 415.362.2277 You’re Invited!
