Determining your budget is the first factor you need to consider before even
looking at any buy bridesmaid dress. If you can afford between $4,000
?$5,000 then it would be wise to seek the services of a couture bridal salon. Of
course not all dresses in bridal salons are in that price range, but for the
most part, their dresses are sold for higher prices.
Research
Go through several wedding/bridal magazines, and tear out the
dresses that you prefer. Make a small file and bring it with you when you go
shopping. Notice the small details like necklines, sleeves, design lines;
fabrics such as bridesmaid
dress online, brocades, satins and silks; trims such as piping and
embroidery. Decide what you like and don like; what in your budget and what not,
and then visit the stores that stock the styles you like.
Visit more than one bridal shop
Go to several bridal shops that stock the
styles that you like. You may have to make appointments to do this with some
couture bridal salons, so be sure to call before hand and schedule an
appointment. While you are there, try on several discount
bridesmaid dresses that appeal to you, to help you decide which styles look
flattering for your body type; and, be sure to bring someone with you that you
trust. Remember, and this is important, that the size 2 model in the magazine
will look great in anything, so some styles that you liked in the magazines may
not be as flattering in the real world. Don be afraid to ask tons of questions
to the stylist who is assisting you. If it a couture salon, find out how far in
advance you need to place your order, how many fittings will be required, and
how payments can be made.
Get a written quote
If youe decided on a design, get a written quote for
the dress. Find out exactly what that quote includes. For example, some bridal
salons charge extra for fittings and alterations. Be sure to know and understand
everything before you place your order, to avoid any surprises.
