The Wedding Gown is as dangerous subject to expound on as can possibly be imagined. The Perfect Wedding Gown is often a concept so entrenched in the psyche of the woman that it makes it difficult to offer sage advice. As a Wedding / Party Planner, I can tell you that many a wedding has suffered in other aspects of the planning because of a lightly careless Wedding Gown search.
Never one to negate the importance of the gown, but let's take a look at a few tips that may help you in your search for the Wedding Gown.
Tip 1: Budget, Budget, Budget. Now this one is so very hard as the myriad of choices can be overwhelming and as the extras pile up, a well intentioned budget can soon be out the window. Give yourself the necessary wiggle room, but try to have a reasonable figure that you can live with and stay as true to that figure as possible.
Tip 2: Start Early, Finish Late. What am I talking about? The best advice I can give for the dress search is to begin the Wedding Gown search very early in the Wedding Planning process. The sooner you get the idea of what you are looking for, get your girlfriends and family together and make a day of it. As afar as finishing late, my advice is allow all the time that you can allow for to make sure all that you have imagined for the dress will be done.
Tip 3: The Dress is a complete dress. This is very important in the Wedding Gown search and is sometimes a bit neglected. This is important because many of the guest, at least in the church, are going to be seeing you from behind, so be as aware of what the dress looks like from behind as from the front.
Tip 4: Be prepared to have a good chunk of the cash of front. Most boutiques, unless you are sufficient enough to deal with a rather large one, will generally ask for up to 50% of the dress up front, something that sometimes shocks the sensibilities of the bride. It may do you well to inquire before hand if you have a shop on your "Hot" list as to their policy.
Tip 5: Make the process fun. I have often see the "Gown Hunt," as I sometimes term it, become as much a sporting event as hunting big game in Africa, if that is actually done anymore. It becomes such a grueling event that often the Wedding Party that gets caught in the process becomes stressed out. Make the process fun and make it a party atmosphere for all involved.
The Wedding Gown search is one that is at the core of all you do for your Wedding Planning, just make sure it is not something that causes more grief that it should. Make it fun and you will set a tone for all of your Wedding Planning.
