Deciding on your wedding dress

Firstly ask yourself if you want to own or lease your wedding dress.

There are infinite possibilities and all depend on your budget and what you want.
You have the options to buy new or pre loved gowns, hire you dress, make your dress, or wear a family heirloom.

If you decide to own your dress, will you or your talented friends make your dress or have it made by a dressmaker?

Will you buy a new off the rack gown, or a pre-loved dress?
Do you have an heirloom dress passed down for generations, which will need alterations?

Secondly consider the season:

What is the usual temperature for your venue on your wedding date?
For cooler temperatures consider having a matching jacket or wrap made, or a lighter material if the usual temperature is closer to a heat wave.

Thirdly:
Do you want to use your dress again for other special occasions?
Consider the style and colour and its suitability for other events; and how easily can your dress be altered after your wedding.

What looks stunning on you?
It's your day, select a gown that looks magnificent and which makes you feel glamorous.

Are you hoping to be pregnant?
Allow room for a baby with your planning.

Are you toning up in time to your wedding?
Dressmaker's will make the last and final alterations two weeks prior to your wedding. After this you will need to maintain your measurements. So allow or put this in your fitness program.
