Choosing a wedding gown as a wedding planner is a very important process, one that a bride gets incredibly excited about. Preparing your wedding and finding a wedding dress go hand in hand in their enjoyment. No matter if you have an idea of the type of wedding dress that you want or if your wedding planner knows your style, the gown you choose will be something you remember for years down the road. By having this at the forefront of your thoughts, it’s the section of your wedding that your wedding planner and you don’t want to sit around until the day before your wedding to plan. With that in mind, here are some tips, straight from the mind of a wedding planner that will help you start your search!

You should expect to wait 4-6 months to receive your wedding dress after you order it. So start looking for the perfect gown EARLY! You should purchase your gown early so that you’ll have plenty of time to get fitted and then have your wedding planner take your dress in for alterations before the day of your wedding. Don’t under-estimate how long it might take to find the gown for you. Each fitting and alteration will take ample amounts of time.

When it comes to your gown budget, make sure that you take into consideration things such as the headpiece/veil, shoes, gloves, jewelry, undergarments, and other accessories.

Gowns don’t look the same on the hangar as they do on you! So try on several gowns. You might find that a gorgeous gown on the hanger might not flatter your figure as you’d hoped. It’s very, very important that you try it on before buying it!

Ask your wedding planner or store staff to help you out with any questions you may have. They are there to help, and more than likely, they’ve sold hundreds of wedding dresses to women like you. When speaking with your planner, it will give them a good idea what style you’re searching for.

Don’t make the mistake of ordering a gown that is “only one size smaller” than your usual size. By ordering the right size, your usual size, you can always alter it if you lose weight before the big day.

When your gown arrives in the store, take your wedding planner with you to check it out at the store. Do a quick fitting with the dress on before buying it.

Make sure you check out all of the angles when you try the dress on. If there’s something you do not like, be sure to mention it the bridal store staff or your wedding planner. More than likely, they will be able to alter and fix the problem.

With all of this in mind, I wish you the best of luck in your search for the perfect wedding gown…YOUR perfect gown!

This winter many brides will be looking for unique and special wedding themes. For most they will already be hold their Christmas theme wedding in the days before Christmas. This can be challenging as you look for different themes that will not be a repeat of winter wonderland or holiday themes. You don’t want something that is even similar to another person’s ceremony and reception. This is your special day and it should be as unique and individual as you and your groom. One idea that might work is an Alpine wedding. It allows you to offer a winter wedding from a fresh perspective that is not just snow and ice.

First there is the location for the ceremony. If you live near a ski resort it would be quite simple to rent the location for the wedding. Of course you need to make sure that it fits your budget. This will be a perfect location that matches the theme to a tee. Another option is to decorate the venue you choose to look like a chateau in the mountains. You can use different decorations from cuckoo clocks to other quaint and home decorations to get the same effect. At the same time you need to focus on balancing out your decorations to create a tasteful and creative look.

The next thing to focus on will be the floral arrangements. It would be a great idea is to use well known flowers or foliage that could be found in alpine locations. It can also be done by using popular flowers in a sparing fashion. One idea is to use white flowers such as roses. Make sure that for more costly arrangements that you have shopped around and budgeted enough for them in your budget for your wedding. Also try to consult an experienced florist who will know what great winter flowers that you can use are in your themed ceremony and reception.

The reception will allow freer reign with decorating more closely to your theme. The goal in decorating the ceremony decorating was to do so by your theme but also keeping in mind the solemn and important ceremony of exchanging your vows. So it makes sense to try avoiding making it look like a cheap cookie cutter Las Vegas chapel wedding. The reception is different since you are having a more festive celebration so more comical and more thematic decorations can be used. Also try to find or make creative and original centerpieces since these will be a key part of your reception decorations. One idea is to have centerpieces shaped like small chateaus surrounded by similarly shaped place card holders.

The winter reception menu will follow in general the same menu you would serve during any other winter wedding theme. You should start with a warm soup or stew and continue to main entre which can be roast beef, ham, or some sort of roasted poultry. You can add more interesting accents with mulled or spiced wine and popular winter desserts. You can also try French cuisine if you are going for a Swiss Alps theme. The most important thing to do is to research foods for your theme and try to pick the ones you feel match it the best. Don’t be afraid to choose signature dishes.

Finally send your guests off with souvenirs of the entire event with original and impressive wedding favors. Try to make them match your theme. You can choose items that are fun or useful, or you can go with an edible treat.
