Choosing bridal gown and maid's dresses

date posted: June 09, 2014

What You Need to Know when Choosing a Wedding Dress:

• The bridal salon’s reputation—make sure it’s good. 

• Your budget—for your gown and also the bridal party’s dresses. Who will be paying for the bridal party’s attire? The maids or the bride? 

• Your favorite designers and dress styles.

• The type of location—such as outdoor setting, rustic barn, elegant venue, or church. 

• Number of bridesmaids and body types. One way to get around different-sized maids is to choose dresses suited to each, all in the same color.

• The desired color palette for your maids and also the bridal gown. There are many bridal gown hues ranging from pure white to eggshell and ecru to blush pink and even black.  

• After you show photos of your favorite gowns and designers, ask if the salon carries those styles and designers or if a similar gown can be custom-made.

 

Questions To Ask:

Does the gown come in the color you wish? If not, can it be special ordered, and what is the extra cost?

Can the head piece, veil, and any accessories be ordered when the gown is chosen? 

How soon after choosing my gown can I expect to have it in the salon for alterations?

Are alterations included in the price? 

Is the alteration department in-house?

What is the payment process? 

Is there a cancellation policy?

 

Important note:  Be careful when buying online or at online auctions.  

It’s a known fact that although you may think you are saving money, you may become one of the many documented horror stories.
