10 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE YOU SHOP FOR YOUR WEDDING DRESS

Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming and stressful for some brides. We have put together 10 useful tips to keep you from going crazy once you actually decide to start shopping for your dream dress.

Tip #1: It takes about 5 to 8 months for your wedding dress to come in. This will greatly depend on which bridal shop you decide to shop with. Most bridal stores ask that you book early to guarantee that you get your dress on time. Book Early!

Tip #2: Leave your entourage at home! Don’t take everyone with you. Take 2 or 3 people with you when you go shop. Taking everyone can become stressful especially with all the different opinions. You are meant to enjoy this moment.

Tip #3: What’s your wedding dress style? We suggest having an idea of what style you would like to go with. Keep your wedding theme in mind as well as the location and time of season of your wedding. Your body shape should also be considered. Not everyone looks good in a ball gown. Choose a style that compliments your body type.

Tip #4: Budget! Have a budget in mind. Tell the sales person what your budget is and let them help you with a dress that is in and around your wedding budget. No point having them bring you an over the top looking dress to only find out it is way over your budget. Stick to your budget! Remember to set a realistic budget.

Tip #5: Be open minded. Not every dress you see in a magazine will look the same on you. Find a dress that looks good on you.

Tip #6: Saturday is a busy day for most Bridal stores. Find out which day is not busy for the particular store you would like to visit and book your appointment. The sales person will have the time to spend one on one time with you and provide you with the best service.

Tip #7: Make an Appointment! When you find out what day is not the busiest, book a date! We encourage you to still make an appointment so that they are prepared for you.

Tip #8: Get your hair and Make up done. This will give you a better idea on how the overall look will be! If you can not do this, don’t worry.

Tip #9: If you go up 1 or 2 dress sizes, do not stress. All dresses are made differently. It does not mean you put on weight :)!

Tip #10: Have fun! Only go when you are ready to shop. Don’t shop around as this will only stress you out more.

Happy Shopping! Contact us for more details.

Shopping for a Wedding Dress

Your Dream Wedding Dress

July 15, 2013 / no comments

How far would you go to find your dream dress?

Every bride wants THE DRESS, but where do you draw the line? How far over budget are you willing to go, and how far will you travel to get it? If the dress of your dreams was been offered at 50% off 8 hours away, is it worth the travel or do you settle for something similar closer to home?

Contrary to what we see on TV shows, like TLC’s “I Found the Gown”, the potential costs of obtaining the dresses may mean there is no deal to be had. The show is based on a discount bridal boutique (VOWS Bridal Outlet) in Watertown, Massachusetts. The designer gowns they have in stock are anywhere up to 80% off the retail price. Some brides travel across the country or even from outside the country to find the dress their heart is set on. For brides living in the area, what an amazing place! Even people a couple of hours away, who can make it a day trip, do it!

For the rest of us the question is, once you add up the costs of gas, flights or bus tickets, on the road meals and snacks, parking, and potentially a hotel room, how much are you really saving? Do the math, stick to your maximum budget, and try not to go looking with only one dress in mind. Try some dresses that are outside your usual style – and listen to the consultants! They know what they’re talking about! On the other hand, if budget isn’t a problem, travelling can be part of your bridal party adventure, one last single girls’ weekend…

3 things to consider when wearing a short wedding dress

3 things to consider when wearing a short wedding dress

Traditionally, wedding dresses tend to be long. Short dresses are ideal for beach weddings and even a bridal shower if you are having one.

3 things to consider when wearing a wedding dress:

1. Choose a respectable length– Something that goes to the knee or just above it. You don’t it to be too revealing. It’ s your big day and you want to wear something that is appropriate.

2. Think about the shoes– When wearing a long dress, the shoes tend to be hidden. With a short dress, not so much. Make sure the dress and the shoes are a good match. Most Bridal boutiques carry acceptable wedding shoes.

3. A smaller bouquet or something simple- A larger bouquet can take away from the look of your short dress. With a longer dress, you still have all the details at the bottom of the wedding dress to show off. With a shorter dress, carry a simple bouquet to show off the dress.
