1. Trust your full service salon. 2. Trust your bridal consultant. 3. Ask around! Personal references are great. 4. Make appointments- don't just show up to look! You may miss the bonuses which can save you money if a consultant is not able to fully give you their time. 5. Quality does matter- touch & feel the fabric. 6. Be sure beads are sewn- not glued. 7. Set a realistic budget & ask the salon for payment options. 8. Remember- if a cubic zirconia looks like a diamond, why do you still want the real thing? The wedding gown is the same way. 9. Be pampered! Trust me- it doesn't happen much in this world. Let the salon pamper you with the services you deserve. 10. Have fun!
Information You Should Have Before Shopping For A Gown:
The wedding date & the formality she desires. Locations help with the formality, as well as the number of guests, time, and desires of the bride.
Also a rough budget may be helpful, but with an understanding that she may indeed spend more or less, and therefore may shift funds around accordingly in her other budgeted areas.
Five Factors You Should Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Gown:
1. Body shape 2. Who she chooses to purchase from 3. Personal likes & dislikes 4. Quality- it does matter! 5. Date of service
