• Shop early- then there’s not so much pressure or need to rush into any decisions. Give yourself plenty of time to find the perfect outfit! Add a little extra time, if you’re looking to have something bespoke or tailor made.
• Get measured by you dress or suit shop to ensure you get the perfect fit. You’ll want to be remeasured and have fittings a few months before your Wedding and on the lead up to ensure you have the perfect fit on the day- this will either give your seamstress/tailor to make the necessary adjustments or, if you’re hiring, for alternative sizes to be ordered.
• Always keep an open mind about shapes and styles- 9 out of 10 Brides go for something completely different to the dress they imagined themselves in!
• Keep your venue, style and theme in mind- you want your outfit to compliment and not to clash. If you getting married abroad, consider the size and weight of the dress, not only to wear but to travel!
• If you’re looking for a specialist style, research your shops in advance to find ones that stock what you’re looking for. If you can’t find one, consider going bespoke!
• Work out your budget early on- the perfect outfit isn’t necessarily the most expensive. Factor in the cost of alterations- most dresses will need fitting to your size and shape.
• Wear your shoes and underwear to your fittings and take your accessories along to give you an idea of the final look.
• Never let anyone pressure you into a purchase that you’re not comfortable with, whether that’s a family member, friend or the shop that you happen to be visiting!
• Most of all…. Have fun!
