Tips for Houston Wedding Dress Shopping - Modern Affinity

How to find your dream wedding dress in our bridal sample sale

Finding your dream wedding dress is a special moment in your journey to the big day. At Modern Affinity, we want to walk with you in every step down the aisle and beyond - starting with our celebration sample sale! 

A bridal sample sale is a special occasion where bridal boutiques offer their sample gowns - the dresses you see and try on - for an exclusive price. Modern Affinity’s Celebration bridal sample sale gives you an opportunity to find the dress you’ve been dreaming about for a price that fits your budget.

 

Here are 3 tips to finding your perfect wedding dress during the sample sale:

Tip #1: Know your measurements, not your size!

Bridal dresses are not measured the same as regular “street” clothes. When you’re shopping for a wedding dress, especially during a sample sale, it is important you know 3 key measurements: Bust, waist, and hips. Based on these numbers, you can find the dress that fits before alterations so your seamstress can make the corrections to perfect it.

We carry sizes 4-32 in samples in the store. Whether you are considered a petite or plus size bride, we have a variety of sizes and styles that you can try-on during your sample sale appointment.

Tip #2: Do your research on the Modern Affinity bridal designers

Looking at the designers we carry is important to understand the styles you will find. Each designer has a different vibe, giving a different perspective on your wedding dress. One designer’s focus can elevate your vision while another designer may not fit the style of your wedding. Doing your research on these styles is important and we have details for you online and in-store!

Modern Affinity carries four unique designers, providing a variety of styles. Read more about them below:

  1. Randy Fenoli: combines timeless beauty with contemporary flair.
  2. Justin Alexander: classic designs with a modern twist.
  3. Justin Alexander Signature: bold and innovative designs for the modern bride.
  4. Lillian West: a blend of romance and bohemian charm.
  5. Pronovias: sophisticated and luxurious designs.

Tip #3: Keep an open mind!

During the sample sale, you can pick 3 dresses at a time to bring into your private suite to try them on. With a wide selection of gowns by a variety of designers, it can be a little bit overwhelming to find the style you love the most. When you’re looking through the different wedding dresses, it’s important to keep an open mind and a careful eye for styles you might come across that you didn’t think of before.

Don’t forget the final key to the sample sale:

Finding the perfect wedding dress is a magical moment in every bride's journey, and a bridal sample sale can be the key to unlocking that dream gown at an unbeatable price. The perfect dress should make you feel beautiful and confident. With an open mind and these tips in hand, you're well-equipped to find your dream gown at a price that will make your heart (and wallet) happy.

Happy searching, and may you find the dress that makes you shine on your special day!
