One of the most meaningful and remembered parts of your wedding, especially for you, will be your wedding dress. So you'll want to make sure to leave enough time in your schedule and money in your budget to get the dress of your dreams. The first step in finding that dress is setting the wedding date. It might not be obvious at first, but when you marry will help dictate the style of your dress. If you've always dreamed of wearing a short, chiffon number, you're going to have a problem making it work in mid-winter, unless you live somewhere warm. Alternatively, you're going to want to stay away from a floor-length satin gown with full sleeves for an August affair.
After you've picked your date (or an approximate date), talk to your fianc? and decide what kind of wedding you'd like to have. You'll need to find a location for your wedding. Are you a laidback couple who'd like an outdoor barbeque or would you prefer to wed at a castle surrounded by hundreds of your closest family and friends? The specific wedding style and venue you choose will reduce your wedding dress options. There are thousands of dresses out there and you can't try them all on.as much as you might like to.
Once you know what style of wedding you'd like and where you're going to have it, setting a budget will be easier. And setting a tentative budget is key to narrowing down your dress choices. You'll typically spend 10% of your wedding budget on your dress, alterations (depending on the amount of work required, alterations can cost hundreds of dollars) and accessories and your groom's tux. You can't have a $10,000 dress on a $12,000 budget.unless you're not planning on feeding your guests, so keep your budget as realistic as possible. You'll need to have a number in mind when you start shopping for dresses. You don't want to fall in love with a dress you can't afford.
Once you know when and where you're going to wear your wedding dress, what kind of wedding you'd like to have and how much you'd like to spend, you're ready for the fun part.wedding dress shopping!
