Wedding Dress Considerations
Once you have set a date for your wedding one of the first things you should do is go hunting for your cheap wedding dresses. There are so many different styles and types you may be spoilt for choice. Typically wedding dresses cost many thousands of pounds so you might wish to spare some thought to taking out a wedding insurance policy that will cover damage to the dress and the store going out of business before your big day and running off with your deposit. Here are some things to consider when choosing your dress.
The wedding may be a long time off
Your wedding may be a year or so away, so with this in mind, particularly if you are looking for a wedding dress that is fitted, you may wish to consider the fact that you may gain (or indeed lose) weight. When you try on the dress and have it fitted to you now, it might look perfect and fit skin tight, but what if you were to put on a pound or two, or even more? Wedding fitters will typically alter your dress for you but this may add to the expense of the dress. Therefore you might wish to choose your dress now and then have the final fitting many months down the road and then watch your weight very carefully.
Where to purchase from?
When looking for your dress bear in mind that it is not only wedding dress shops that sell dresses. Many of the top named department stores also devote a section specifically to wedding dresses and you may be able to get a very similar looking wedding gown for a lot less money this way. You might also bear in mind that many shops have sales at certain times of the month. January for instance is a great month for going out shopping for your wedding attire; you may be able to make some substantial savings on your dress and shoes.
There are also alternatives to purchasing a wedding dress. You could choose to hire one; after all you only wear it for one day. You might look around at many of the second hand shops; some cater specifically in wedding attire. There are many great bargains to be found this way and this is usually one of the best ways to get a fantastic dress for a lot less than if you were buying brand new.
Is it comfortable?
It is no good buying a dress that looks stunning if it is not comfortable. You do not want to feel uncomfortable on what is supposed to be the best day of your life. Don’t just stand looking in the mirror when considering a dress. Instead walk about, bend in the dress and sit down in it. Remember that you will be wearing the dress for many hours for that day.
Insuring your dress
Even if you do not want full blown wedding insurance, give some thought to covering your dress with it. If you have paid out thousands of pounds for the dress you will want to ensure that it is covered and wedding insurance may also give you financial protection against the shop going bust before your big day.
