How to plan and order the perfect bridal outfit

Choosing a wedding dress is one of life’s most pleasurable dilemmas. Getting it right, however, takes some planning. This is the fun part of getting married and an occasion to express your style...

Book an appointment

Most designers and shops recommend that you make an appointment. That way you’ll be certain to receive the consultant’s full attention and service.

What to ask the shop

• Can they create a custom design
• Suggestions of styles to suit your body type and skin colour
• Samples of embroideries, fabrics and colours
• References
• Time schedule for delivery

Final fitting

Your final fitting should take place a month before your wedding. You need to ensure that your choli (bodice) fits perfectly. Walk around the shop and take note of whether the material feels scratchy and look out for any defects. Ensure that the shop packs your dress well to ensure that it will be crease-free on the day.
