Shopping for a Wedding Dress – The Mistakes to Avoid Last time Bridal Secrets shared some tips for buying your wedding dress and the common mistake to avoid – today – the conclusion.
Don’t *demand* the wrong size dress – Bridal gowns often run a size or two smaller than your general street clothes, so never get obsessed by the dress size. Focus instead on how your measurements match with our size chart in store. )f you are planning to lose weight what bride doesn’t? order a dress in your current size, the dress that fits your body now can always be taken in without it affecting the look of the wedding dress, but it can only be let out so far. Be realistic, you may not reach your targeted weight, while setting a goal is great it could be an expensive mistake if you don’t trim down as much as you plan to.
Try and stick to one style – At Bridal secrets we know that our brides often walk out with a dress nothing like the wedding gown they had imagined. Bring in photos of wedding dresses you like the look of – that’s a great place to start, but if one of our bridal consultants suggests something different – give it a try! You can never tell what a dress will look like on while it is hanging on a hanger.
Don’t buy a dress you don’t love - Another mistake we see at Bridal Secrets is the bride who buys a dress she doesn’t like, but those shopping with her told her it was perfect. Choose those who come shopping with your carefully, you want friends or family who will be looking out for YOU and not thinking how good they would look in the gown, or how much a dream gown it would be for them. If you like any dress but have doubts, or you are feeling pressured into
buying the dress then don’t. )t’s perfectly okay to go home without a dress; you can sleep on it and go back later.
Don’t try on a dress you can’t afford – You see that dress in a window, you know you can’t possibly afford it, but there is no harm in trying it on right? Wrong, if it is perfect and looks great on you it can only lead to disappointment and heartbreak – any bridal gowns you try on – you need to be able to afford! Have a clear and set budget, at Bridal Secrets we understand this and we respect your budget – we will never try to sell a bridal gown that is out of your budget.
