The wedding is one of the most magical moments in a girl’s life. There are many things a bride should consider to plan that perfect wedding but the highlight is choosing the perfect gown. There are many gowns available. Some are ready-made some are custom bridal gowns. Whatever you choose, you have to find the right BRIDAL COUTURE.
Here’s a guide to choosing the perfect wedding gown for you:
Where is the location of the wedding?
Your gown will depend on the location of the wedding. Are you having a daytime ceremony in the garden? Are you having a nighttime ceremony on the beach? If this is the case, you should eliminate ball gowns with intense embellishments and long trains. If you are having the ceremony inside a cathedral, do not consider short dresses. Most of the gown materials are suitable all year-round. However, there are specific materials that are good for warm weather like linen and velvet for winter.
How much is your budget?
Another factor in choosing the perfect wedding gown is the budget. Figure out how much you are willing to spend for a wedding gown. Make sure to tell this budget to the salesperson. The salesperson will know what to look for and will give you gowns according to your budget. More importantly, do not go overboard. A wedding ensemble typically accounts for 10-15% of the total wedding cost. If you go overboard, you may sacrifice other things. You have to make a budget and do your best to stick to it. Spending on an expensive dress is not practical.
Look early
Do not make the mistake of choosing your gown last minute. Shopping for the perfect wedding gown should be six months before the wedding day. This is to give the tailors to make the dress. If you need alterations, it will not be too late. If you want a custom gown with elaborate embellishments, it will take longer. Do not make rush orders because it will mean additional charge.
Conduct research
If you are looking for a custom-made bridal gown, you have to conduct research and see if you can get ideas from bridal sites, magazines, and books. The research will reveal the perfect fabric for you and other things.
Keep an open mind
If you have bridal consultants, you have to heed their advice of keeping an open mind. When you are looking for bridal gowns, you have a particular vision in mind but sometimes, considering other dresses will have a greater outcome. When fitting, you have to have an open mind. Be open to try other dresses. It may look ugly on the hanger but it will look great on you.
Focus on the fit
Many brides often focus on the size. Many will insist on having smaller size because they have plans to lose weight but that is not practical. When looking for a gown, you have to focus on the fit and not the size. If you focus on the fit, you will have no problems when the time comes. If your wedding comes and you need alterations, it will be easier.
