Wedding Gowns

When it is time to shop for your bridal gown, be sure you go prepared. Try to take only one or two people with you. Remember, the more people the more opinions.

GOWNS: Before you go shopping, take the bridal magazines and start tearing out pages of gowns that show the neckline, skirt, bodice, train, sleeves, waistline, etc. that you would like to have. Circle the parts that you like, and make notes on the page. Most brides do not find their "perfect" gown in just one picture, so make a combination. Take these with you to the gown shops. It will make your descriptions a lot easier on the salesperson. Pictures are always better than verbal descriptions. Do the same for your bridesmaid’s gowns. Also, be sure you (the bride) try on the bridesmaid's dresses also, to see how they feel and look in the mirror. Don't forget, the bridal gowns come in an assortment of shades of white and ivory, and some pinks. When you are looking for the bridesmaid's dresses, only look for style, since you can order them in any of dozens of colors. Be sure to bring heels similar to the height you will wear on your wedding day. The same for the bridesmaids. Keep in mind when you are ordering your bridal and/or bridesmaids gowns, they take a long time to come in. So shop early. The bridals can take up to six months to arrive, but most are less. Always ask the salesperson. The bridesmaid's gowns also take a couple of months. Be sure to order all your bridesmaids gowns at the same time, from the same store, in order to make sure the dye lots match. If your bridesmaids are wearing shorter dresses, where their shoes will show, make sure they all buy the same shoes, since these will show in the pictures, and in the ceremony.
