Tips On Wedding Gown Shopping With Your Mom

It is traditional for the bride to shop for her wedding dress with her mother...not that it necessarily means it will be a piece of cake! Shopping for a wedding dress is a dream come true for many women, but coming to an agreement over price and style has the potential to be a nightmare. This advice will make bridal gown shopping more pleasant and productive for both the bride and her mother.

Start by having a frank discussion with your mother about price point. If she is paying for your wedding dress, you need to know in advance how much she is comfortable spending. The last thing you want is to find your dream gown and then discover that it is thousands of dollars over budget. If you have concerns that your mother is unaware of what wedding dresses cost, watch some wedding shows with her. A lot of mothers have no idea what the average bridal gown costs these days, so it is helpful to clue in her in before you start shopping. Sometimes brides compromise by offering to pay for their veil, headpiece, and bridal jewelry if they go slightly over budget on the cost of the gown.

Another thing that can be very helpful is to talk to your mom a little bit about style before you go gown shopping. Your mother might imagine you as a sweet young girl, while you want to look like a sophisticated woman. At times, all it takes is seeing a novel design a few times for a mother to learn to like it more. But don't be closed to her suggestions. Many a mother has insisted that her daughter try on a gown that the bride hated on the hanger, only to have it turn out to be the one. When mom is controlling the purse strings, it is definitely important to foster a spirit of compromise. It can be very useful to have another close relative come with you to aid in sorting out differences in opinion.

Moms sometimes are not aware of the current etiquette rules for bridal fashion. A lot of moms believe that it is still required to wear sleeves for a religious ceremony and that every bride should wear stockings. Your mother may be thinking about how things were done when she got married, not knowing how they have changed! Your mom will be more comfortable if your officiant clears the gown style you are considering. While your mom might not take your word for it, she will likely believe whatever the officiant tells her. At the same time, the bridal salon consultant can help to inform your mother about what is common these days. If she points out that almost none of her brides have worn stockings in the last seven years, your mother might be able to let it go.

So what if you adore a wedding gown, but your mom does not? This can be a heartbreaking experience for a bride. Ask her what her concerns are. When the sample dress fits poorly, it can be very hard for some mothers to picture how the real dress would look. Maybe the wedding gown looks too simple or understated to her eyes. Show her how it would look with a long veil, crystal bridal jewelry, and a sparkling headpiece. A lot of mothers will just swoon when they see how beautiful the bride looks in the complete ensemble. If you truly cannot come to a joint decision on the wedding dress, you either need to find the confidence to make your own pick or agree to try shopping again on a different day. The good news is that the vast majority of mothers and brides ultimately fall in love with that one perfect wedding dress.

How reliable are Online Wedding Gown Stores, such as Modern Bridal Shop?

I have tried many gowns on at the local stores and none of those dresses have convinced me. Last night while looking at shoes online I found my perfect dress. The bad news is that Mori Lee stopped making that particular dress- it is discontinued. But I've seen it in many bridal gown online stores and at really good prices. I am really scared to order one though because I just keep thiking of horrible things that could happen. (My wedding will be in July of this year)
Thanks for responding.

I have had friends who have order theirs online and they turned out perfectly. I would say it depends on the site...A lot site have reviews and stuff from other customers..read those. If you do decide to buy online check their return policy and if you can't return it I wouldn't buy it. If you can I would just make sure they you have enough time to return it and get something if you aren't satisfied with your purchase...I am considering buying mine online because they tend to be slightly cheaper

How do I go about opening a bridal store in Australia?

I have an online store where I sell wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses etc. I am really considering opening a bridal store which sells inexpensive wedding gowns. The problem is, I have no idea where to start. I don't have any money, so I assume I will need a business loan. What else will I need to do to get this off the ground? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi Jennifer! Probably the best way to start is go to your local Department for receiving a business license. I'm not really savvy on this since I've never started a business before. They will have information on people to contact and the requirements you need to get started for them to grant you a license. Please contact your local library and ask them for books on starting a small business. Best of luck and I hope you are very successful in your new venture.
