Wedding Dress Journey

Wedding Dress Journey

Congratulations on your engagement and congratulations on your excitement about going dress shopping! When you don't know where to begin when it comes to wedding dress shopping, it can be quite overwhelming. The following tips from Unveiled Bridal in Little Rock
will help you find your perfect wedding dress if you're worried about the process alleviating any stress in your gown selection process: 

 

 

After deciding on the venue and date of the wedding, our brides-to-be typically start shopping for their wedding dresses. Considering that most bridal gowns require four to six months for delivery, it's a good idea to start shopping at least one year before your wedding if possible. Planning ahead will allow you to avoid having to deal with rush fees and allow time for alterations. 


Your wedding dress budget should also be set at this time. When you are crunching the numbers, don't forget to factor in taxes, shipping, and alterations. Make sure you set aside money in your budget for any accessories like shoes or jewelry!

 

 

The next step is to start researching what wedding dress styles you're considering after you have a budget and a date. Do you want a flowing gown for your beach wedding, or are you looking for something glamorous and intricate that hugs your curves? If you're feeling crafty, you can create a vision board or check out Pinterest boards. A lot of bridal boutiques also have a website that allows you to look at their stock and pre-select possible styles to try on.

 

Choosing the right shopping companions for your trip to the store is key before heading into the store to shop for your wedding dress. Ideally, you should bring one to three friends or family members whose opinion you value the most. Keeping your group small and choosing people who won't cause extra stress is important; after all, wedding dress shopping is supposed to be fun! 


In addition to choosing your wedding dress, you should choose your accessories and shoes at the same time to ensure everything matches. It's also a great time to shop for your wedding dress' undergarments if you're about five months away. You should find the perfect materials that will enable your wedding dress to fit even better, whether you need a strapless bra, shapewear, or a bra that fits an asymmetrical sleeve.

 

 

When you're three months away from the wedding or your bridal portraits, you should schedule a fitting. To make sure everything's perfect, you may need up to two or three fittings. The second fitting or the final fitting should take place no less than 2-3 weeks before the wedding
