Now that prom season is winding down, it’s giving boutiques an opportunity to focus more on bridal season and is keeping shops like Bella’s busier than ever. 

Brianna Hagerman, bridal manager, says that bridal season begins in December typically and goes through the spring. Although a hectic time for the blushing bride-to-be, Bella’s staff offers tips to help make the entire experience stress-free and more enjoyable: 

– Bring just a few people to watch you try on dresses: multiple opinions can be overwhelming. Hagerman advises bringing your mother, grandmother, and maid of honor.

– Bring the pair of heels, or similar, that will be worn on the big day to try on with the dress. 

– Wear a nude, strapless bra so that you’re able to try on a variety of dresses (although most of the dresses come with bra cups sewed in already!).

– Book an appointment ahead of time! For try-ons, appointments are advised. Call: 806-793-3884, or email: bellasbridal@sbcglobal.net  

Bella’s is located at 3501 50th Street in Mission Plaza.
