Calculate Costs

When calculating your wedding dressbudget, don’t forget to factor in the cost of your veil and headpiece — which can run from $50 to $500 — as well as your shoes, lingerie, and wedding jewelry. Also, keep in mind that almost all gowns need alterations, which will add to the bottom line.

Dress Codes

Many houses of worship consider bare shoulders disrespectful. Ask your officiant about specific body-coverage requirements before you start wedding dress shopping. Or look into a wrap or shawl for the ceremony.

Play Hooky

We know you’re busy, but if at all possible take time off during the week to begin your hunt — you’ll get more of the salesperson’s time and attention than you would on a busy Saturday.

Prewedding Poses

If you’re planning to sit for a bridal portrait, you’ll also want to find out if the store will let you borrow your gown for pictures, then return it to them so they can press your wedding dressso it will look fresh for the big day.

Open Your Mind

When you’re in the bridal salon, don’t eliminate anything at first glance. Even though certain styles work best on certain body types, don’t let the “rules” narrow your search too much. It helps to try on all different kinds of dresses, and then to decide which shape and style you look and feel best in. So if the salesperson brings you something she says you must try — try it, even if you detest the way it looks on the hanger. Many a bride has ended up going ga-ga for a wedding gown the salesperson had to persuade her to try on.

Shop Around

You didn’t get engaged on your first online chat, right? Likewise, you shouldn’t buy a gown online that you can’t try on. Knock offs of major designer gowns with cheaper materials are a huge business, don’t be persuaded by a websites “same dress…cheaper price” ploy.  Many a bride has order into great disappointment!

Go For It

If you think you’ve found your wedding gown, and are  absolutely sure it’s the one for you, go for it! By marking this huge task off your to do list you are free to start make other wedding decisions and and plans.  Less stress is always better for the happy bride!

Trust Your Instincts

If you have to be reassured that the dress looks great on you, it’s probably not the one. Is this how you pictured yourself looking as a bride? Can you really see yourself walking down the aisle swathed in this gown? If not, take it off and move on.

Take Proper Measures

When you’re ready to order your wedding dress, the store will take your measurements: bust, waist, and hips. Each manufacturer has its own measurement chart, and this is what the store will use to determine your size. A knowledgeable store will know how a particular designer’s gowns are supposed to fit. Ask to see the sizing chart so you can have a better understanding of the way it works. And make sure the correct size gets ordered, using your largest measurement as a guide. One thing to remember: wedding gowns run small, so don’t be alarmed should your final size measurement jump up a number or two.

Focus on the Fit

Know, too, that every wedding dress needs alterations to fit precisely to your frame. When your gown is altered correctly, you should be able to move comfortably with everything staying in place. Alterations can be as simple as taking in the waist and shortening the hem; in more complex alterations, the sleeves may be abbreviated, the bodice taken in, and lace or beads added.

Go Undercover

Bridal designers advise wearing undergarments in a tone close to your skin color. The more similar they are to your coloring, the less likely you’ll see them through your dress.

Fit In Fittings

You’ll probably have at least two dress fittings, which you’ll schedule with the store when you purchase your wedding dress; more may be necessary, so leave ample time before the wedding.

Prewedding Poses

If you’re planning to sit for a bridal portrait, you’ll also want to find out if the store will let you borrow your gown for pictures, then return it to them so they can press your wedding dress so it will look fresh for the big day.
