It's time for the first decision... to choose the gown you'll remember for the rest of your life. A big decision and not one to be taken lightly. Visit a professional bridal salon. The bridal consultant at the salon will need to know the date of the wedding, the time of the wedding, the dollar figure you had in mind, and your style choice or choices, so she can help you with the decisions. It's always a good idea to try on several gowns --- even the ones you don't like. You may get a surprise. Sometimes a style or cut of a gown that you have discarded in your mind, will turn out to be just the gown to accent that special part of you. In any case, you should be absolutely sure when you order the gown, and you should never buy what you haven't tried on first. Most gowns are special ordered and may take up to three months minimum, so start early --- at least six months before the big day. Alterations are almost always a necessity. Choose your hairpiece and accessories to match your gown --- not the other way round. Remember, no matter what your height, weight, or shape --- there's a gown that's perfect for you. The professional bridal salon is in business to help you make your dreams come true. [ back ]
