Important Information for all new brides
We at
Brideshair in the past 18-24 months have discovered several glitches
concerning wedding gowns, primarily wedding dresses.
From our
extensive years of experience helping brides into their dresses on their big
day no-one needs to be subjected to these difficulties. Therefore we have
complied the following list for you to check that these problems do not occur
for you on your wedding day & cause unnecessary anxiety.
Your
dress will be the most expensive piece of clothing you are ever likely to
invest in insist on your needs
Make sure
you have your wedding gown & bridesmaids dresses in your possession at
least 4-6 weeks before your wedding day, it is highly unlikely your weight
will change that much plus due to the recent economic climate several
wedding dress outlets have closed without notice often going
bankrupt leaving you the Bride without a dress.
If you
are at all worried a wedding gown outlet may not provide your
dress early enough before your wedding day our advice is to say from
the start your wedding date is a few weeks earlier. This way you will be
guaranteed to have your dress in your possession with plenty of time to spare.
Make sure
all alterations to your dresses have been completed correctly, no pins or
tacking stitches are left in any part of your dress and there
are both parts to press studs &/or hooks & eyes sewn within
the dress. It has been noted lately these are often missed off when a
dress has been extensively altered.
Make sure
if you have a buttoned design on the back of the dress there is a zip
additional to the buttons.
Make sure
all buttons have elasticated loops NOT material loops, often material
loops are made too small & are difficult to fasten
Make sure
all eyelets for laces are correctly secure, in our experience
for a lace up design loops are a safer option
Make sure
all lace loops are sewn securely & big enough to pull laces through
Make sure
if you have your dress made larger or smaller all popper &
hook fastenings are replaced too, if your dress has a train & your
dress length is altered make sure your train is also altered, the
dress will be out of proportion otherwise.
Make sure
you remove all labels prior to your wedding day securely including your veil.
Hang any creased items asap & steam out (a shower room is ideal)
