Buying Your Wedding Gown
You've flipped through dozens of bridal magazines and browsed hundreds of dresses. Finally, you've found a couple you really love. What's next? Head to a bridal shop with pictures of the dresses you're considering. Before you start trying anything on, there are important questions you need to ask:
- Do you need an appointment to try on dresses?
- Does the store have options within your budget?
- Can they order the dress you found in a magazine?
- Are you allowed to browse the entire collection, or only what they show you?
Once these questions are answered and you’ve found a dress you like, there are more things to consider:
- Can the neckline be changed from a vee to a scoop?
- Can they hold the dress for 24 hours while you decide?
Take time to think it over. Return in 24 hours. If it still feels perfect, go ahead and put down the deposit.
If a dress doesn’t feel right to you, despite being loved by your mom or a friend, give yourself 24 hours before making a final decision. It’s your wedding, and feeling beautiful is key.
Fittings and Alterations
After choosing your dress, a seamstress will measure your bust, waist, hips, and waist-to-floor length to determine needed alterations. Almost every dress requires some adjustments. Plan for at least two or three fittings.
If alterations are needed, inquire about the cost and request a written estimate. If a shop won’t provide one, it’s best to look elsewhere. Also, ask if purchasing bridesmaid dresses there qualifies you for free or discounted alterations.
- Can the dress be ready quickly if necessary?
- Is it in stock, or does it need to be ordered?
- Can you borrow it for a formal portrait before the final pressing?
Always pay with a credit card for added security in case any issues arise.
Choosing the Right Veil
Next, select the headpiece and veil. The veil should complement the dress style. For example, a Cathedral veil suits a formal gown, while a shoulder-length veil pairs well with a simpler dress.
Dress Preservation
After the wedding, consider how to preserve your gown. Consult your bridal shop or wedding consultant for a reliable gown preservationist. They will clean the gown, wrap it in acid-free tissue or white cotton muslin, and box it. Expect to pay between $200 and $400 for this service.
Avoid preservationists who ask you to sign a disclaimer absolving responsibility for damage during cleaning. Choose only those who offer a written guarantee.
By approaching your wedding gown purchase thoughtfully, you'll ensure that you feel stunning on your big day and preserve those special memories for years to come.
