Wedding Dresses - How To Select The Best One For You - part 2

by Tanya Turner

If you want to find the best dress, you will need to spend a couple of days visiting different salons. However, before you visit a bridal shop it is a good idea to call them and ask a few questions - this will save you trips to places that would only waste your time. When ringing a bridal salon you should ask:

  • Can you just come to the shop or is an appointment required?
  • What dresses styles do they have and what is the price range?
  • Are alterations free and, if not, how much do they cost?
  • If they don't have dresses in your size, can one be ordered?
  • Do they also carry bridal accessories, like hair decorations, veils and shoes?
  • Can they hold a dress you like for a couple of days?

When you get to the shop, try as many dresses as necessary, until you find the perfect one. Don't listen to the sales person, when they say that the first dress you try on is great and you should take it. Remember they want to sell the dress and it is their job to say it looks great, even if in fact it is hideous.

When you finally find the dress that you always dreamed of, ask them to put it on hold; don't let them convince you that you should buy it straightaway. Return to the shop the next day and look at your dress again - you would be amazed how often something that seemed perfect, after trying on 10 different dresses, won't impress you when you see it with a fresh eye. However, if you look at your dress again and feel "yes this is the one", than it is time to buy it.
