Choosing the Perfect Wedding Gown

Selecting a wedding gown is possibly one of the most exciting things for a bride to do. It’s one of the most fun aspects of preparing your wedding. Even if your wedding planner doesn’t know what dress you want to get, they’ll be able to help you out so that the wedding gown you choose will be memorable for the rest of your life. So with this in mind, it’s one part of your wedding you do not want to wait until the last minute to plan. With that in mind, here are some tips, straight from the mind of a wedding planner that will help you start your search!

It’s likely that your gown will take about 4-6 months to arrive after you’ve ordered it. That means… Get started finding your dress today! Keep in mind that you’ll want to have plenty of time for fitting your dress and then also altering it. It will take a while to find the gown, so don’t underestimate it. All those fittings will take time

You should sit down and plan out your dress budget with your wedding planner, keeping in mind that there are several things to buy like jewelry, accessories, gloves, veil, and other clothing.

Make sure you try your dress on because they don’t look like they do hanging up! So try on several gowns. You might find that a gorgeous gown on the hanger might not flatter your figure as you’d hoped. It’s very, very important that you try it on before buying it!

Ask your wedding planner or store staff to help you out with any questions you may have. They are there to help, and more than likely, they’ve sold hundreds of wedding dresses to women like you. When speaking with your planner, it will give them a good idea what style you’re searching for.

Remember to order a gown that is roughly the same size as you because ordering one that is 1 size smaller can be disasterous. By ordering the right size, your usual size, you can always alter it if you lose weight before the big day.

Grab your wedding planner when your dress arrives at the store, and make sure to look at it at the store. Do a quick fitting with the dress on before buying it.

Make sure you check out all of the angles when you try the dress on. Finding something you don’t like at the store is much easier to fix than finding it once you get home, so make sure you tell your wedding planner or store staff any imperfections that you find. More than likely, they will be able to alter and fix the problem.

As a wedding planner who does several weddings per month, I wish you the absolute best luck in your wedding gown search!
