Things to Remember Before Buying Your Wedding Dress

• Buy Early The advantage of buying early (about a year before the wedding) is
  that you know what you are getting so you can match everything else and you can
  make everything revolve around your dress. Choosing a wedding dress can be quite
  stressful so buying early takes some of the pressure off.


• Choose the right time to shop. The quiet period for a wedding dress shop is the summer so there are more chances to find sales and discounts. If you leave it too late though,
  some shops will charge you extra even if you still have 6 months left. Enquire
  about the timescale but remember that according to shop staff the best time to
  buy is now.


• Alterations To Your Wedding Dress Most shops offer an alteration
  service for a fixed price, do check what exactly it covers, how many fittings
  there are etc. Sometimes it's only a very basic service for a very exclusive
  price. You need fittings until the wedding dress fits your body perfectly. You
  are not obliged to have the alterations done where you bought the dress and the
  sales talk about having specialized seamstresses is waffle, any good tailor can
  cope with a wedding dress.


• Wedding Dress Return Policies What if you change your mind/ break up with the fiancee etc. Some shops do not have a return policy
  and if something goes wrong you won't get your deposit back, on average, half
  the dress price. Read the contract carefully and ask questions and make sure you
  get straight answers. If you are spending a lot of money it's worth looking into
  the wedding insurance option which covers all sorts of disasters.

Hints on Wedding Dresses
Ask if they can give you a few fabric samples, they'll be most useful when you choose your shoes, veil, bridesmaids' dresses etc.
Take a picture of yourself wearing the dress, again very useful when choosing accessories.
Now you have a few months to wait before your dress arrives so you can choose your accessories, bridesmaids' dresses and arrange everything else.

Wedding Dress Prices!
Dresses in bridal stores range from around £400-500 to many thousands.
Expect to pay more if it's silk and/or has a lot of beadwork.
Alterations are usually extra.
