Gown Cleaning & Preservation

Ladies Formal Wear

First, you will need to determine the style of dress you want.  Start this process by looking through the latest issues of popular bridal magazines or browsing the internet.  Save pictures of gowns that you like and make a list of the manufacturers.  Once you have a basic idea of what you want your dress to look like, you will most likely have to set a limit on what you can spend.  A wedding gown can cost anywhere from two hundred dollars to three thousand dollars, so you will have to take your entire wedding budget into consideration and pick a price range.  When budgeting for your gown, don't forget to take all of the bridal accessories into consideration as well (purse, headpiece, shoes, etc).  For more information on setting a wedding budget, visit our paying for it page.  After you decide how much you can spend, it's time to start visiting the bridal salons.  Don't forget to bring a friend or family member to provide "constructive criticism".  The dress style you thought you wanted may not look good on you at all.
