Wedding Dress - Tips on Buying Your Wedding Dress

• Buy your wedding dress from a shop!
• If you buy your wedding online, over the internet, all you will usually get is an image of the dress and you will not get a colour swatch of the wedding dress material. This is a must if you are trying to match colours for your bridesmaids dresses, flowers, cake or waistcoats. Without the colour swatch you have  a good chance of not getting the shade you want.
• You need to be measured for your wedding dress by a qualified person who is experienced in choosing the right size that will suit you. You will not have this when purchasing a dress online. The website may have a size chart but that does not guarantee a correct fit.
• The majority of wedding dresses need some form of alteration and fitting. Online sellers do not have this facility of a seamstress, where a wedding dress shop will.
• Buying your wedding online via the internet means that it will be delivered in a box and therefore will need to steamed and ironed, and doing this yourself could lead to a disaster. You do not want to damage your wedding dress because you had the iron on too hot a setting! Buying your dress from a shop means that you will collect your wedding dress in immaculate condition and already to wear.
• Just because the image of your dream wedding dress looks great online, does not mean that it will suit you. You need to try a number of wedding dresses on to find the “one” and you will know when you find it. You make make a day of it, take your mother and/or best friends to help you and listen to what they have to say. Also, the shop assistants will be able to advise you on what style may suit you best and the available accessories to go with your dream dress.
• Many shops offer some type of payment plan where you are able to spread the cost of your wedding dress, this is particularly helpful in today’s economic climate. Where buying via the internet means you will have to pay the full amount up front before your order is confirmed.
• You are more likely to get better after sales care from a shop than you are from an online store.
