| Wedding Gown Fashion Tips

Wedding dress fashion tips for the Bride-to-be:

• Traditionally a divorcée or a widow does not wear a veil when remarrying.

• You might find your dress or gown at one place and your attendant's attire at another. There are no rules that they all have to be purchased at the same place.

• Make sure your attendants like the dress you want them to wear. Your Maid of Honor usually wears a different shade and style than the dresses your Attendants will be wearing.

• If you are wearing a suit, your Maid of Honor and Attendants can also wear suits, or dresses that coordinate.

• Your Maid of Honor's accessories should include matching shoes, hat (or something coordinated in her hair), gloves (optional) and jewellery. Your attendants will follow suit.

• If you are renting a dress, make sure that it fits you perfectly, is fresh and in new condition.

• If you are borrowing a dress, return it cleaned and with a gift.

• Give yourself plenty of time to look for your dress so that you can take advantage of seasonal sales.

• Prom dresses can sometimes double as wedding or attendant's attire when cost is an issue.

• Several resale and discount shops carry gowns, dresses and evening suits. When looking at the fabric, remember the type of seasonal weather being forecast for your wedding day.

• Check your local newspaper's classified section for wedding gowns. Not all advertised dresses will be used; some will (unfortunately) be brand new.

• Bridal salons are very competitive. Once they know you are comparison shopping they will usually add on services such as alterations or cleaning your dress. Watch for sales. Better bridal salons and shops offer huge discounts because they don't like to carry stock over from season to season.

• If you are buying a designer gown, make sure the salon or store where you are buying it is an authorized dealer and the dress is not a knock-off.

• If the bridal salon or store will allow, have someone take photos of you in the gowns you try on. This device helps you to narrow down your selection at home more easily.

• Remember, It's your wedding and you can wear what you want.
