Host: Just figuring out what dress you want is hard work. Here are some insiders’ pointers to get you to the bridal gown battle.
Try on lots of dresses over a course of several days. Don’t pick the first one you love, come back to it and see it again when you have a chance to sleep on it. If you can take pictures at the bridal shop, then do so. But most places don’t allow it, so make sure to find out ahead of time. In these days, there are great bridal salons everywhere so find ones that is close to home or work.
Mark: This is going to need some several trips back there for follow up appointments. So it should be a salon that is located at her every day—work place.
Host: Those fitting take time. Allow about eight months to get the gown made. But if you think that glamorous design or gown of your dreams is out of reach, think again. Smart shoppers can get glamour without going to the poor house.
Mark: For example, many stores have sample sales where they actually selling some of their left over samples in the store at a much reduced price. It’s more of cash and carry situation.

The options of going to separate for wedding as well, a top and a separate skirt makes it a very, very viable outfit to any women to have.
Host: And one of the latest trends for bridesmaid, you can choose a color or fabric and let them do the rest. That way, fat, thin, tall, short, the girl standing up for you will look their best.
