Bridal
A regal wedding gown is the most important garment you’ll ever wear. Whether you are adorned with dazzling beads and pearls, vintage lace or silky satin, your dress should make you shine with a breathtaking silhouette.
There are several components to a wedding gown and many choices you’ll have to make before you find the perfect one. First, browse several bridal magazines and websites. Tear or print out the styles that you like most. Next, consider where you’ll begin.
You should begin your wedding gown search 10-12 months before your wedding date. Some full service bridal salons may take up to 4-6 months to deliver your dress.
If you don’t have the lead time, consider shopping at a larger bridal retailer, and prepare to pay
additional rush fees.

Wedding Gown Tips
Your bridal gown consultant has knowledge, so use it to your advantage. She will know the merchandise well, and has probably assisted hundreds of brides with finding the perfect gown.
Try not to be “married” to a particular size, bridal gowns can be up to four sizes smaller than you normally wear. For example, if your regular dress size is 10, your gown may actually be a size 14. Don’t order a dress two sizes smaller than you wear not convinced that you will lose weight. If you don’t, you may be stuck with a dress that doesn’t fit.
