You may be feeling disappointed because you are chomping at the bit to try on wedding dresses but can\u2019t because of quarantine. Well don\u2019t worry, even if you\u2019re stuck at home, you can still start shopping for a dress!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Step 1: Research<\/h2>\n<p>Pandemic or not, before you actually set foot in a salon it\u2019s a good practice to have an idea of what you might want your dress to look like so you can avoid overwhelm later. So, pour a glass of vino and open Pinterest. Browse different silhouettes and styles and once you know what you like, start looking for bridal shops in your area. Some boutiques will have prices online so you can search within your budget, while others require an in person visit. Start planning now so you can hit the ground running once quarantine is lifted!<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wedding-dress.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-69467 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYxIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjAlMkYwNSUyRndlZGRpbmctZHJlc3MuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9Ijk5MCIgZGF0YS1oPSI2NjEiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Wedding Dress Shopping\" width=\"990\" height=\"661\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Step 2: Turn your living room into a salon<\/h2>\n<p>Though you may have pictured saying yes to your dress surrounded by your maids and hundreds of gowns &#8211; that may not be possible given our current circumstances, especially if you need to find a dress soon. Luckily, many boutiques offer shipping and free returns so you can try on dresses in the comfort of your own home! So, call up the girls on Zoom, pour a glass and get ready to feel like a million bucks!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Enlist expert advice<\/h2>\n<p>Still not sure what you want? Many salons are offering virtual style appointments where they will video chat with you and suggest dresses based on your personality and wants. During this consultation, you will take a virtual tour of the boutique, and your consultant will pull gowns of interest. While this doesn\u2019t replace in person consults, it\u2019s a great solution so you can stay safe at home and still receive expert advice.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"related-posts-title toc_show\">You May Also Be Interested In<\/h3><ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-host-the-perfect-covid-friendly-backyard-party\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjAlMkYwOSUyRk1hbmdvU3R1ZGlvczAwMjEtMS00MjV4NDI1LmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtaD0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Backyard\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-host-the-perfect-covid-friendly-backyard-party\">How to Host the Perfect COVID-Friendly Backyard Gathering<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/nicky-and-bens-sweet-intimate-micro-wedding-at-mcmichael-canadian-art-collection\"><img alt=\"Wedding at Boehmer Restaurant, Toronto, Ontario, Jessilynn Wong Photography, 1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNiUyRk5pY2t5QmVuV2VkZGluZy0yNTExLTQyNXg0MjUuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/nicky-and-bens-sweet-intimate-micro-wedding-at-mcmichael-canadian-art-collection\">Nicky and Ben&#8217;s Sweet Intimate Micro-Wedding at McMichael Canadian Art Collection<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/meghan-and-freds-beautiful-micro-wedding-at-boehmer-restaurant\"><img alt=\"Wedding at Boehmer Restaurant, Toronto, Ontario, Jessilynn Wong Photography, 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNCUyRkhlYWRlci0xLTQyNXg0MjUuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/meghan-and-freds-beautiful-micro-wedding-at-boehmer-restaurant\">Meghan and Fred&#8217;s Beautiful Micro-Wedding at Boehmer Restaurant<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Shop for everything else!<\/h2>\n<p>Want to wait until you can head to a boutique in person to make your final decision?
