Brides need to determine what style gown they are interested in first and foremost..A great place to start is by doing quite a bit of research online. You can also look at wedding magazines. But try to get a sense of what you really like. The more that you know about yourself and what you want will serve you well when you visit bridal shops. Take your time when you start making your appointments to look for that perfect dress. Make your appointments on a weekday and during the day if at all possible. We suggest taking a day off of work, it is that important. The bridal shops are much less busy at this time and you will be getting the consultants when they are fresh. Start looking as early as possible. The reason for this is the time involved. From finding that perfect dress to having it delivered to having it fitted and then altered, it takes a lot of time. We cannot stress enough that you should keep an open mind on your visits. Do not visit a bridal salon wedded to one dress style. If you try on a gown that you really like but you aren't crazy about the color, ask about it because many gowns are available in different shades. Another option is to combine elements from different gowns. There are so many options available to you that it never hurts to ask about something that you are interested in. When you ask about price, keep in mind that alterations are not usually included in your overall price. If you really need to save money, ask the shop if you can try on some samples. If you find the right sample, it could be a huge savings. You just need to make sure that there no major problems with the dress due to it being picked over so much.

Now, let's talk about the tuxedo search. The first thing that we recommend is to take your bride to be with you. You want to be happy, but you really want her to be happy with what you end up wearing. First, you need to determine if you should you rent or buy. Ask yourself if you will need a tuxedo much in the next 5 years. If you are, then purchasing would be your best bet. But if not, then renting is the best avenue for you. Renting will save you a lot of money, in fact renting a tuxedo is usually around 10% to 30% less expensive than buying one. In order to find shops to visit, ask your circle of friends, family and co-workers if they know of any reputable shops that you should visit. You will want to call any shop you want to visit and ask if they keep their inventory updated. Also, make sure that the formalwear shop has very experienced and knowledgeable staff. Here is a piece of advice, if any shop tries to do a hard sell on you, walk away. It is a huge bonus if you can ask your groomsmen to visit the same shop because everyone will match perfectly. And who knows, you might end up with a discount.
