3 Must Know Tips When Shopping for Your Wedding Gown

Shopping for your wedding gown can be so exciting. In fact, once the ring gets slipped on your finger you may just want to run to the nearest bridal shop and start looking for  your perfect wedding dress.  As with any kind of shopping half of the fun is in the browsing or “window shopping.” No matter how many pictures you cut and paste or articles you read you just want to get out and see for yourself how much your perfect dress will cost.  Try some things on to see what compliments your body, before you commit to the “one” perfect gown that makes you feel like a princess. 

So, before you pack your car with your family and friends remember to:

1. Call and schedule an appointment.  Bridal shops are very busy hubs of activity and purchasing your Wedding dress is such a significant and special time. A lot of Bridal Shops will not even let your through the doors without having an appointment.  While this may seem rude, especially when the store is open and appears to be empty; however it can make a world of difference for you to have an experienced wedding professional help you determine what may work best for your body and your budget.  Besides, wedding gowns are extremely heavy and hard to navigate alone. Most bridal shops offer knowledgeable staff to help you with this important decision.

2. After you commit to your perfect dress and you plunk down all that money make sure you understand what comes with this purchase; ie: alterations and fittings. If the store does not offer fittings and suggests you call an outside seamstress then I suggest you run and look elsewhere. You want to have all your fittings and alterations done at the shop in which you purchase your gown. They should have, on staff a professional seamstress whose main job is fitting and altering wedding gowns.

3. Do not take your dress home too soon.  Have your final fitting as close to the wedding date as possible.  You do not want to end up with a dress that does not fit when you walk down the aisle.
