Selecting a wedding gown is possibly one of the most exciting things for a bride to do. Preparing your wedding and finding a wedding dress go hand in hand in their enjoyment. 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. Here are some tips to help get your gown search started!

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. Don’t under-estimate how long it might take to find the gown for you. 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! Have your wedding planner remind you of this. You might find that a gorgeous gown on the hanger might not flatter your figure as you’d hoped. Never choose a gown without trying it on!

Do not be afraid to ask questions to the bridal shop staff or your wedding planner. 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.

Don’t make the mistake of ordering a gown that is “only one size smaller” than your usual size. It’s much cheaper to order the right size, instead of ordering smaller with the promise to yourself that you’ll lose weight before the wedding.

When your gown arrives in the store, take your wedding planner with you to check it out at the store. Do a quick fitting with the dress on before buying it.

While trying the dress on, view all angles. 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!
