Let’s go over some of the top questions that you should consider asking while you’re at your wedding dress shopping appointment. This list certainly isn’t comprehensive, but it’s a good place to start and can give you an idea about the customary things to ask while shopping.
How long is the shipping time?
One of the most important things for you to know about a dress is how soon it could be on your doorstep. Making sure that the dress will not only make it to you in time, but make it to you in enough time to do alterations, is extremely important. If a dress is going to cut it close to the delivery time, then it may be a good idea to examine your other options.
Can you recommend a tailor?
Working with a quality tailor is an essential step in making sure that your wedding dress fits you perfectly. Asking your bridal stylist what talor they recommend can put you on the right track and establish trust with the professional that you choose.
PRO TIP: If you don’t have a good gut feeling about a tailor, remember that there are lots of other options out there!
How sure are you about my size?
Wedding dresses come in lots of different sizes and some dresses are more forgiving than others. Speaking with your bridal stylists about the dress and its measurements can help make sure that there aren’t any surprises in the future and that you don’t have to pay for unnecessary alterations.
Are there matching accessories?
Some dresses come from designers that do matching accessories.
Being able to look at a dress’s accessories can help you narrow down your options and understand what your full wedding outfit could potentially look like. While not all dresses will have coordinating accessories from the same designer, this can be a fun option and is something that you should ask about during your appointment.
