Fashion fades, style is eternal.” Yves St. Laurent
Choosing your perfect gown is something you have dreamed about since you were a young girl. It’s your day, and everyone’s eyes will be on you.
Remember to always call ahead and set an appointment when visiting a bridal salon. Bridal gowns are not an item of apparel that you browse through.. The personalized attention of a bridal specialist will be of great assistance to you in terms of your taste, figure, style and budget. Their expertise further reinforces that this is no simple purchase.
Choose a salon where you are comfortable with the personnel; you will be working with them throughout the process of selection, through alterations, and you will be in close contact with them.
If possible, order your wedding gown 6-12 months prior to your day. Gown manufacturers take orders from across Canada and they produce requests in lots. This type of production saves you money , but a longer lead time is required.
Order your bridesmaids’ dresses 4-8 months in advance. Once all your attendants have been measured, the order will go in. This ensures that all the gowns are cut from the same dye lot. It’s okay today to have each maid in a different style of dress. Mismatching is perfectly acceptable as long as the overall look is coordinated. After all each of your friends is also a one-of-a-kind!
