Wedding Planner Book-Wedding Attire

We know that your gown is the most important accessory of the day. You are the center of attention, after all, and this is your chance to look radiant! Your gown should reflect your personal style, so be prepared to try several on before you choose one. Don’t be afraid to try on gowns that you would never have considered buying when you saw it on the hanger. You might be surprised! Experiment with styles until you find the one you love.

Take your wedding planner book along with you when you go gown shopping. Ask your maid of honor to take notes about each dress, including the price, the style (and number if it has one), the bridal salon where you found it, and any particular benefits or disadvantages of the dress. A brief description of the gown will also be helpful if you can’t sneak a picture. You might also want to note which gowns were your favorite. This will help you as you try to narrow down your choices. After all of that, remember to trust your feelings! The gown you choose should make you feel special and beautiful, and you might just have an “ah-hah” (or “aaawwww”) moment when you first try on that perfect gown.

The groom’s attire should match the style of the wedding as well. He may wear a full tux for a formal wedding, or a simple suit for something more casual. The same goes for the groomsmen, and if you want, you can order their clothes to match your theme or colors. If your colors are dark green and ivory, for example, you might have the groom and groomsmen wear a forest green tie or vest. Look at several stores in your area for suits and tuxes. The more you shop around, the more likely you are to find what you want, and you might be able to find better prices while you’re at it. Don’t be surprised if tuxedo rental costs almost as much as the bridesmaids’ dresses! It’s important to look around for the best deal.

The bridesmaids and flower girl dresses are also important and should match the style of the wedding. You have a variety of options available here. You can put your bridesmaids in matching dresses, or you can give them a choice of styles within a specific color scheme. Looking at pictures in magazines and websites will help you find inspiration. If possible, take your bridesmaids shopping with you, so that you can actually see the dresses and so that they can make sure they are comfortable wearing the dress you pick out. Your bridesmaids should not outshine you, but they do deserve to look great as well! Just as you did with your own gown, write down the details of each dress you and your bridesmaids like. Consider style, price, color, and availability. No matter how much you like a dress, you can’t order it if it won’t arrive in time for your wedding. Ideally, you should also make sure that you get the dresses early so that your bridesmaids can have them altered if needed. It would be a good idea to write down all of your bridesmaids sizing information in your wedding planner book so that you have it available when it’s time to order the dresses. With some careful planning, your bridal party can look stunning, which will only add to your joy on your special day.
