Wedding Dress

You want the perfect wedding dress, so you have made it a major focus of your pre wedding planning. There are some things you need to find from the bridal shop, before you even look at your first gown. Do you need to make an appointment to visit the shop? Does the store carry dresses you can afford Can you browse the whole collection, or do you only get to see the dresses the sales person chooses for you? If this shop doesn't carry the dress you love, can it be ordered?

Once these questions have been answered and you find a dress or two that you like, there are still more questions you need to ask.

1. Can a particular dress be ordered with different sleeves, or neckline?
2. What alterations can be done and what will that cost?
3. Can you get a written estimate on the alterations?
4. If we order the bridesmaids dresses here, can we get a discount or free alterations?
5. Do you have headpieces and or veils that will go with my dress?
6. How much is the deposit and when is the balance due?
7. What are the cancellation and refund policies?
8. Can we get a Rush on this dress if necessary?

The Dress

Your Wedding Gown is probably the most important dress you will ever wear and you will find that everyone has an idea about what makes the perfect wedding dress. Don't be bullied by other peoples opinions: this is the one day when you can be as demure or as outrageous as you wish. Everyone will be on your side on the day anyway; just as everyone loves a new born, they will coo and simper at whatever you choose! So, put your hang-ups away and stop listening to other people's ideas of what constitutes a beautiful dress, ignore disparaging comments about Meringues, Bo-Peep and Ice Queens, and consider what you like and see if it will suit you. You will know when you find it - it will just feel fabulous.

As you go on your quest for the perfect dress, prepare by asking yourself a few questions:

* What do you want to emphasise, and what do you want to hide?
* Which tones suit your colouring? Think about your current wardrobe - do you feel great in white, or do you prefer creamier colours?
* Do you want to look shorter or taller?
* Do you want a plain and unadorned look, or an elaborately decorated look, or somewhere in between?
* Would you prefer a Contemporary look, a Vintage look (e.g. 1960s) or a Mediaeval look?
