For a generation that does everything on impulse, getting married on a whim is not that big a surprise. If you are one such bride to be, then you have very little time to prepare for your big day. From deciding the venue for your reception to writing down your vows and doing all the wedding shopping, everything has to be completed in a short span of time. And, the biggest challenge among these tasks is finding a dress on short notice. For an express bride-to-be, we have a few tips and suggestions that can help you sail through:
Sometimes, if the luck is in your favor, your grandmother or mother would have preserved their own wedding dresses. You can just take their dress, get it dry cleaned and do a few alterations to ensure it fits you perfectly. You can also turn on your creativity and try tweaking the design of the dress to turn it into a contemporary, new wedding outfit. Wearing your mother’s or grandmother’s wedding dress will also add an emotional value to your outfit which a newly purchased gown can never have. And the best part is, this will save you from the endless queues at bridal stores.
Purchasing a new wedding dress from a designer, bridal store is not an easy task. You have to take prior appointments, wait for your turn, try on a million dresses and then make a couple of more visits for fittings and changes.
