Gown Tips for the Bride:

Considerations in choosing your gown:

* Individual Style Preference
* Type of wedding planned
* Place you are being married
* Budget

But keep in mind almost anything is acceptable. This is your day so do it your way.

Here are a few tips in finding the the right gown:

Share the information you have brought with our bridal consultant. We know our stock, and will be able to pull out the gowns that fit your considerations.

When I put it on, I could immediately see that it was the right style for me...

Only try on the gowns in which you are interested or that the consultant recommends to avoid confusion and fatigue. We hear everyday, from brides who say, "I am so happy you suggested I try on this dress, I never thought I would have worn that style, but when I put in on, I could immediately see that it was the right style for me."

Wedding gowns tend to run small. You will probably need a gown that is a size or two larger than your normal size.

Allow four to six months to order a wedding gown. Some manufacturers carry extra stock, so always inquire if you like a dress but if you don't think it will arrive in time, we will find out for you.

To ensure you reserve your gown expect to give an initial down payment of up to 50% of the cost of the gown.

Bridesmaids have different figures. Try to find a style that will suit all figures or consider having each bridesmaid in a different style but the same color. This is your day but your bridesmaids are important too. Allow three to four months to order the bridesmaids' dresses.
