Every Bride dreams of her unforgettable wedding day! The wedding location, floral and most importantly, ‘The Gown”! There are so many things you need to know before purchasing this. I had FOUR Wedding Dresses by the time my wedding day came and only had time to wear TWO of them. Long story short, I tried to save $$$$ by purchasing a cheaper gown than ‘The One” I loved the most. In doing this and as my wedding day grew closer, I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle in any other dress so I bought “The One” but did not have time for a new dress to be made, I wore the dress off of the mannequin on my wedding day! I also spent way more than if I had purchased “The One” the first time around.
With all of this being said…We have put together a list of things you should consider when searching for the perfect wedding gown!

Are you getting married for you or for someone else? You only have this day ONCE! So choose the dress that you know you absolutely love and don’t second guess it! Who cares what anyone thinks, this day is about your love and this is your one shot of being able to ignore all criticism especially since your spending the big bucks!!

Your style of dress should complement where it is being worn! You wouldn’t wear a Cinderella dress to a beach wedding, right! You also technically do not have a plan of action until you have a venue and date confirmed! Don’t skip these important steps, take your time as dress selection will be much easier!

Your dress will take 6-10 months to be made – that’s right… 6-10 months plus shipping time! If you order your dress last minute you will have to pay additional fees to expedite its production or be like me with a dress off the mannequin for the same price as a brand new dress! Bottomline… don’t be me! Start dress shopping directly after booking your venue!

Don’t have the time to try on multiple dresses or need someone with the right eye and Bridal fitting experience to help you look your absolute best? Hire a Bridal Stylist! Once you’ve tried on one dress, you already know Bridal Fashion and Fittings are whole different animal! There is nothing better than having someone style you from head to toe and not have to lift a finger to research what is best for you!

Many Bridal Shops are by appointment only! Be sure to schedule an appointment as walk in appointments are few and far. Planner Tip: Call in to make sure the styles you want to try on are available for you to try. Often times, Bridal Stores have a few dresses from each designers collection so be sure to confirm that the style(s) you want to try are available and waiting for you!

There is nothing worse than wanting to envision how your dress will look day of your wedding and forgetting to bring your spanx or wearing a bright red bra and underwear set underneath a sheer gown!
Bottomline…
- Bring Spanx
- Wear Nude Undergarments
- Bring Heels

So many dresses look awful on a hanger and so much better on! Truth be told, the dress I made fun of on the way in the store was the dress I walked out of the store with! Try every silhouette on so you know what you absolutely do not like, it will be easier to narrow down what you do!
On another note, your Bridal Consultant also has tons of Bridal Gown wisdom, so take it all in.

Be selfish, this is your one opportunity so take it! Do not feel obligated to stick to traditional norms! You can wear a blush gown down the aisle if you desire too… or any color for that matter! My only suggestion, if you do it, do it right! Couture is the only way to go![/fusion_content_box][/fusion_content_boxes][fusion_button link=”https://www.instagram.com/amerisierevents/” text_transform=”” title=”” target=”_self” link_attributes=”” alignment=”center” modal=”” color=”default” button_gradient_top_color=”” button_gradient_bottom_color=”” button_gradient_top_color_hover=”” button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” border_color=”” border_hover_color=”” size=”” stretch=”default” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]Follow us on Instagram [/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
