When a girl gets engaged, her first thoughts about her wedding are usually about her gown. It's such fun to try on gowns and find just the right one, but here's a few tips on shopping for a gown:
1. Make an appointment at a bridal salon. Usually, weekends are the busiest time, so if you just walk in you may not be able to get a session.
2. Take just your Mom and maybe one other person. Too many friends, bridesmaids, sisters, in-laws, cousins or others make it very difficult to choose a gown, because everyone has a different opinion. It is a special time for mother and daughter, and most likely your mom will give you an honest opinion on what you look like.
3. Consider other colors besides white. There are many, many shades of white that may flatter your skin tone better than just white. Ask the bridal consultant at the store; she can usually suggest what might look fabulous on you!
4. Shop at least six months ahead of your wedding date. Gowns take time to be ordered, and you'll want to have ample time to have alterations completed before the big day.
5. Take your Dad to the final fitting. Often, Dad doesn't see his little girl until she's just about ready to walk down the aisle, and this makes it difficult for him to control his emotions. If he's willing, take him along and let him see you in your gown, veil and all; that way, it won't be such a shock on your wedding day.
