Frocks’ tips for brides and bridesmaids to be

 

• Do some research! It is always helpful, both for you and your consultant at Frocks to have an idea of your wedding vision! Feel free to check out our designers (listed on our website) to get ideas, or to bring photos of dresses that appeal to you to your appointment!

• Give yourself lots of time! Not only does it sometimes take some time to find the perfect dress, it also takes time to bring the dress in! Frocks recommends ordering your dress approximately 5 months in advance. This means starting your dress search 8 months in advance will give you a comfortable amount of time to find the dress of your dreams!

• Try on everything! You may be surprised by what ends up looking the best on your body type, so trying on different silhouettes and styles, even the ones you initially hadn’t considered, can really help you get the best idea of what you do and don’t like in your wedding dress.

• Be prepared! Frocks recommends booking an appointment ahead of time so that we can be sure to have a fitting room available and a consultant dedicated to helping you. Also, it is always a good idea to bring a strapless bra, and your favourite pair of heels to your appointment!

• Consider your budget! It is a good idea to have a price in mind. Frocks bridal gowns can range anywhere from $300 to $3500 so letting your consultant know what your dress budget is helps them direct you towards the best dresses for you – and ensures you don’t fall in love with a dress that is beyond your budget!

• Limit the initial opinions! Frocks suggests bringing just a few close friends and family to your appointment, as having too many people accompany you often results in an over-whelming number of opinions.  Feel free to make a second appointment to bring other people in to see your favourite gowns.

• Ask questions!  Often dresses have customizable features – perhaps we can add straps, change the length, or have it made in a different colour or fabric. If there is anything that would turn a dress into the perfect dress for you, please do not hesitate to ask us!

• Stay true to yourself! While there can be pressure from friends and family when it comes to choosing your dress, it’s important to focus on your initial vision. After all, this is your day, and your dress. Make sure that you choose a dress you truly love and that suits both you and your wedding day.
