When it comes to planning a wedding the basic mantra is to start well before the wedding date. If you have time on hand you won’t have to rush at the eleventh hour if you have missed something. Believe me that nothing ruins the fun of getting married more than having to run around hours before the most important day in your life. That brings us to the most important item, your wedding dress.
Before you actually think of buying your wedding dress you should be considering the options available to you. You may consider buying your wedding dress from any of the following places. – Bridal shops. – Boutiques. – Designer showrooms. – Store chains. – Shops selling second hand wedding dresses. – The Internet
Wherefrom you buy your wedding dress primarily depends upon your budget. Still there are certain things that you should keep in mind before buying your wedding dress.
– If you have an expensive designer wedding dress in mind keep in mind you’d better get conversant with terms like shantung, charmeuse, bias cuts, bateau, brocade, overlay, taffeta and much more because you need to give an impression that you are a regular buyer of designer apparel. Avoid being caught on the wrong foot at designer boutiques. It is all the more important because designer boutiques do not display price tags. Also take in account that you might have to travel long distances to see the dresses in person and then for fittings. — Buying your wedding dress from chain stores may not be a good idea. It is not like sending out branded wedding invitations. As a bride you want some attention and at chain stores you are likely to encounter unfriendly salespersons. Moreover, wedding dress is a big ticket purchase and you naturally want some expert advice which may not be available at chain stores. — Avoid places that do not allow you to see everything yourself. Many bridal shops ask you what you are looking for and bring down what they think meets your requirements. The fact is that you may not be able to get the best dress unless you actually see new ideas that you do not have in mind. Call the shop you are going to visit to know their policy. — You can also find wedding gowns at large warehouse type stores. You may get wedding dresses for every budget but lack in providing expert consultation. — Take someone along because an opinion besides the consultant’s is always helpful in getting the best wedding dress.
In recent times, the Internet has emerged as a powerful marketplace. You can explore the Internet and you will find a lot of websites selling bridal gowns, dresses for bridesmaids and accessories. However, if you are shopping online you need to be careful.
It is very important to get the correct size and this is possible only if you try it on. Shopping online may not provide you the satisfaction of trying numerous dresses before you choose one but you can save a lot of money and still get a dream wedding gown. Get hold of a seamstress to take your measurements ensuring that you are wearing the same underclothes that you plan to wear on the wedding day. Just in case there are any modifications to be done after the dress is delivered, you can take the help of the same seamstress.
