Choosing the Perfect Wedding Gown
10 Apr 2009
Selecting a wedding gown is possibly one of the most exciting things for a bride to do. Preparing your wedding and finding a wedding dress go hand in hand in their enjoyment. Regardless of whether you know what kind of gown you want or not, it is a dress you will remember for the rest of your life. By having this at the forefront of your thoughts, it’s the section of your wedding that your wedding planner and you don’t want to sit around until the day before your wedding to plan. Here are some tips to help get your gown search started!
You should expect to wait 4-6 months to receive your wedding dress after you order it. So start looking for the perfect gown EARLY! Keep in mind that you’ll want to have plenty of time for fitting your dress and then also altering it. It will take a while to find the gown, so don’t underestimate it. All those fittings will take time
You should sit down and plan out your dress budget with your wedding planner, keeping in mind that there are several things to buy like jewelry, accessories, gloves, veil, and other clothing.
Make sure you try your dress on because they don’t look like they do hanging up! Have your wedding planner remind you of this. Pretty gowns hanging up may not look as good on you as you would have first imagined. Never choose a gown without trying it on!
Do not be afraid to ask questions to the bridal shop staff or your wedding planner. They are there to help, and more than likely, they’ve sold hundreds of wedding dresses to women like you. When speaking with your planner, it will give them a good idea what style you’re searching for.
Remember to order a gown that is roughly the same size as you because ordering one that is 1 size smaller can be disasterous. It’s much cheaper to order the right size, instead of ordering smaller with the promise to yourself that you’ll lose weight before the wedding.
When your gown arrives in the store, take your wedding planner with you to check it out at the store. Try the wedding dress on there before you pay for it.
Make sure you check out all of the angles when you try the dress on. Finding something you don’t like at the store is much easier to fix than finding it once you get home, so make sure you tell your wedding planner or store staff any imperfections that you find. More than likely, they will be able to alter and fix the problem.
As a wedding planner who does several weddings per month, I wish you the absolute best luck in your wedding gown search!
