Its okay to fall in love with a gown at the first store you visit! We’ve seen brides that will pick a dozen dresses, try the first style and decide its ‘the one’. Just because you haven’t shopped around or been to many stores, doesn’t mean its the wrong choice. If you can see yourself getting married in the dress and have fallen in love with it, its yours!

2) Make sure you budget for dress alterations
99% of wedding gowns will need altering to ensure a perfect fit. A brides measurements are compared to the designers size chart, meaning its not a complete made to measure service. You should expect to pay roughly £100-£200 for your alterations, depending on what you are having done and how specialised it is.

3) Try every silhouette and don’t rule anything out
It’s very often that a bride will come into the store with a distinct idea of what she knows she wants, and she ends up leaving with the opposite! Just because you’ve read online that your broad shoulders means you won’t suit a halter neckline, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try them on. It’s important to be open minded and allow your consultant to suggest some styles to you. We can guarantee you that the dress you didn’t think you liked on the hanger, you’ll love once its on.

4) It’s all about the experience
Shopping online can seem like the easy option but by doing this, you miss a once in a lifetime experience. Its a chance to celebrate your engagement and is a huge moment in your wedding planning. When you come to Couture & Tiaras, you’ll get a one to one consultation with one of our experts who will be able to guide you on shape, style and fabric. We will do all of the work so you don’t have to. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to touch and feel exactly what you’re paying for.

5) Don’t expect to get your gown immediately
Wedding dresses are classed as a special order and therefore it takes months of work to create. The standard time from ordering your gown to it arriving in store is 6 months. Here at Couture & Tiaras, we can offer a rush cut service to speed up this process or we can sell off the rail if a dress is needed quickly. You also need to allow an extra 6-8 weeks for your alterations so make sure you start shopping with plenty of time![/fusion_text][/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”default” sep_color=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” class=”” id=””]Keys Points To Remember[/title][accordian divider_line=”” class=”” id=””][toggle title=”Don’t second guess yourself ” open=”no”]You know the old saying about “gut feelings” trust them, they are ALWAYS RIGHT[/toggle][toggle title=”Make sure you budget for dress alterations” open=”no”]Your wedding dress always needs adjustments to fit you perfectly.
