One of the biggest things for a person in their life is to buy a wedding outfit. Whether you choose a dress or a suit, your wedding outfit is “the” outfit, which is why it’s a whole event just to go wedding dress shopping. When you take your time choosing an outfit, or you dither over styles and shapes, this is a bad thing for your stress levels leading up to your big day. So many brides waste their time on procrastination when they are looking for a wedding gown, so if you believe that this is going to be a fast, easy task, you’re going to have to stop dreaming and start getting real with your dress dreams.
It’s actually a big decision to make and while you can get all the tips on what you need to know before you go wedding dress shopping, you also need tips on why you shouldn’t wait around to say yes to this particular wedding outfit. So, check out the reasons below why you shouldn’t wait too long to say yes to your dress of dreams.
Give yourself time
You need to give yourself time. Not only do you need time to scour the bridal stores, you need to find the dress of dreams in regular stores and even online. You might be working full time, too, which cuts into your time to search for the right dress. When you look and think you have six months, you don’t – you have 48 days in weekends to find it. You need to start looking very early if you don’t want to settle for anything less than perfection.
Delivery
What about delivery? Your bridal store (online or otherwise) needs to have a little time to send the dress out to you and you have to wait for that time. It can take up to six months to receive a bespoke gown fitted to your exact measurements. You thus need to ensure that you give it time to arrive. If your wedding dress is purely luxurious and bespoke, it may take longer to arrive. You shouldn’t wait to say yes to the dress if you can help it!
Alteration of your wedding dress
It may need alteration. Wedding stress may see you drop a few kilos before your big day happens, so you need to make time to get your dress altered while also ensuring that you have time to say yes to it in the first place! If you’re getting married in Perth, be sure to search for a reputable bridal shop that offers alteration services or can recommend a skilled wedding dress tailor. Alterations may not be done in time, so it’s crucial to find a good professional who can ensure your dress fits you perfectly with a reasonable turnaround time. Taking care of dress alterations in a timely manner will alleviate any last-minute stress and ensure you look stunning and confident on your special day.
Accessorise your dress
You need to accessorise. You want to say yes to a dress to give yourself a few months to find the perfect accompanying accessories. No one needs to rush these decisions if they can help it. It’s not just the shoes and handbag, but the jewellery, hair accessories and gloves (should you be wearing gloves). It’s the perfect complement to your gown, and you can avoid rushing this if you say yes to the dress early enough.
