Will bridal salons let me take pictures of a wedding gown I like?

Sally Grigsby (Owner of Belle Bridal) gives expert video advice on: What specifics should I tell my bridal consultant to help them find the right wedding gown for me?; Which is more important-a bridal shop's selection or service?; Why should I visit expensive bridal shops? and more...

It is most unlikely that bridal salons will allow you to take pictures of the gowns you like, until the point where you have purchased the gown. And there are many reasons for doing this. Typically, it is to make it a little harder for you to identify the gown and therefore shop around for pricing. And also there are very good reasons why you need to be cautious when looking at photographs of yourself taken in the gowns within the bridal salon. Typically you are not wearing the correct size and the gown will be clipped or held at the back and also it may not be the correct color and you will probably not be wearing the hair style and makeup that you will be wearing on your wedding day.
