Top Six Tips to buy the best Bridesmaids dresses online
Picking a dress for your bridal team is one of the most challenging aspects of planning a wedding. Picking the perfect dress for all your girlfriends is not easy, especially if they live in different geographical locations and have different body sizes. However, you can make the whole process easier by buying these dresses online. Here are a few tips to help you make an informed choice when purchasing bridesmaids dresses.
Budget
You should determine whether you or your bridesmaids will be buying the dresses. This is important because these attires are available in a wide range of prices to suit different budgets. If the ladies are buying their own dresses, you will need to be sensitive and talk to each one of them to determine how much they are willing to spend on the dress. This way, you can choose a vendor that will suit everyone’s budget.
Measurements
For a successful purchase of dresses for your bridal team, you should have your maids measured by a professional, who will also carry out any alterations on the dresses. The most essential measurements are the natural waistline, bust, hips, and height with heels on. You can utilize the sizing chart that every vendor provides on their website to make a choice. Remember that formal dresses usually come in smaller sizes, thus buying a size larger is more ideal because it can be altered to a perfect fit.
Style
All your bridesmaids will not be alike, particularly when it comes to body shape and size. Therefore, you need to find a style that is both affordable and flattering. You can opt for every bridesmaid to choose a style that they love, but follow a similar color palette with the same material. This will give your bridal team the freedom to choose the dress they prefer.
Request for photos
If you have picked a specific dress design for your bridal team, you should ask for several pictures showing the front, side, and back views from bridal shop Gilded Social. This is important because some photos that are posted on virtual bridal stores may not have the same appearance as the actual dress. Be sure to ask questions and even confirm whether the color of the dresses is the exact one that you will get.
Start early
When buying dresses for your bridal team, you should consider the timeline. It is best to order your dresses at least six to eight months before the wedding. Most traditional wedding retailers will take about three months to ship the dresses, while others will ship them immediately. Be sure to factor in the time for shopping for accessories and making alterations, which will need more time. You should encourage your team to start shopping early so that nobody is left out or shops in the eleventh hour.
Read the fine print
You should take the time to carefully read the return policy and the terms and conditions of the store you are buying from. You should never purchase bridal clothes from stores that have no return policy. This is because you will not be able to return the dress if it is not a perfect fit. Be sure to read the customers’ feedback to ensure that they are genuine and that they keep their word.
Every bride wants her wedding day to be perfect. However, you should not feel pressured when looking for stylish maids dresses online. Always remember that you will never make everyone happy, so go with a design and color that suits your needs and blends with the wedding theme. Make the final decision yourself because too many opinions and suggestions will stress you out.
