Make sure you have enough time. It takes most designers four to six months to deliver a completed wedding gown. And if you request any customization, like additional beading or lace, it can take even longer. Try to start your search at least a year in advance. Remember: You’ll still need another two to three months for alterations once the gown arrives.Don't wear black bra or panties when shopping for wedding gown. Brides don't realize the black, purple, or navy underwear can be seen through many white bridal gowns. It really ruins the look of the gown. Instead, opt for nude or ivory underwear when shopping — and on the big day as well!
Pick out the right neckline. While we have plenty of beautiful strapless gowns at Alizeedress.com, we also carry many V-neck, boat neck, and cowl neck gowns. Not everyone is comfortable in a strapless gown, and you should feel both beautiful and comfortable on your wedding day.
Keep an open mind. I cannot tell you how many brides come in swearing they want a ball gown, yet end up loving a slinky sheath instead — and vise versa. And brides who claim they want no beading can easily fall in love with a head-to-toe beaded number. Keep an open mind when trying on gowns; just like with dating, you never know when love will strike.
You will need more than one fitting. Keep in mind once your beautiful gown arrives, it normally takes four to five appointments to make the gown fit perfectly. And if you're adding a jacket, sleeves, or additional custom changes, you might need even more than five fittings. Budget enough time, especially if your weight tends to fluctuate.
