The Infamous Wedding Gown! Help!!!!!

It’s that time! Many of you ladies have waited much of your life for this moment! No longer just a bridesmaid, you are now the bride! You are ready to shop for the most amazing dress…the ultimate wedding gown that anyone has ever had! So what do you do first? Take it from Bella…decide how much you can afford and STICK TO THAT BUDGET! Yeah, yeah, you all agree. Now wait until you get into the bridal store and then watch how you justify the ‘few hundred dollars’ more. After all, you’re only getting married once right? Well, let’s hope…fingers crossed!

Let me help you by steering you in the right direction and by offering you tips to save some money. And no, I'm not going to tell you that we have some of the best, nicest, highest quality and least expensive unique wedding favors anywhere, so don't worry about that! Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming!

But know this, you will definitely get much better service from a well known, established, full service bridal shop. If you go to the warehouse discount bridal store, you will save money but be careful. You want to make sure you aren’t buying the dress that is hanging there. And if you are, it better be at a very hefty discount and they better guarantee cleaning in writing. Also, DO NOT let their seamstresses altar your gown. Bring it to a private person. Yes, it will cost a bit more, but you won’t be hysterical crying 3 days before your wedding day when you try your dress on and it looks like a Hawaiian Moo Moo!

And buyer beware! It is illegal for these places to remove labels from wedding dresses. They do this so they can tell you it’s from this designer or that designer. It’s the ole “bait and switch”. Do not fall for it! If the store has no labels in their dresses, WALK OUT! It will save you tons of heartache.

Always check either by phone or online with the Better Business Bureau and see if there has been any action taken against the wedding or bridal shop. There are many listed. You would be shocked. But you can’t fool with this. You HAVE to have your bridal gown for your wedding day and have it beautiful and fitting properly. Then, on the internet, check out RipOffReport.com – that will help you decide on where to shop for your gown.

And remember also, you do not need to get your gown, veil, shoes, bra, jewelry, etc. from the same place. You can get your gown from the place that has the wedding gown you love, but then zip over to the discount bridal place for your accessories. Don’t get caught up in the emotions of buying it all right there. The jewelry, shoes, etc. are usually WAY overpriced at a wedding shop. This is a tiara from our website. High quality/low price.


Okay, go for it girl! You are armed and ready with some vital information.

Remember, this is a defining moment in your life. Enjoy it. Don’t rush it. And bring those that you love and love you with you when you go. It can be an experience that you will cherish forever. By the way, that is my daughter and her husband that got married a few years ago. Just wanted to share that with you. :-)

Much happiness coming your way,
Bella
