wedding dress shopping alone first time

I am getting married in April of 2027! I have a dream of going to New York City to shop for wedding dresses, I absolutely love the city and think it would be fun to take a trip with my mom, MIL, and MOH there. I live in Charlotte right now, so this would have to be a couple of days/weekend trip planned in advance.
I had the idea of going to local bridal shops during a weekday and just to try on dresses and find styles/silhouettes that I'm interested in. I would hate to have a whole trip planned to NYC and drag along the others to go to potentially multiple bridal shops (and spend the money to book the appointments) all just to not pick out a dress because I didn't know what I wanted.

I'm not against going alone to shop and do initial try ons, I actually love doing things on my own. I wanted to share this idea with someone other than my fiancé lol to get others' thoughts. I fear bringing the idea up to my mom, I feel like she would get upset that I would be going without her and wouldn't be there to see me in a wedding dress for the first time. Also, I am curious if anyone else has done something similar and if it made the experience less special somehow?? thanks!
