Top Tips For Working With Independent Wedding Dress Designers

By Jose Evans


If you are getting married, you are likely looking forward to picking out the dress you will be married in. There are many places that brides can find dresses. If you like the idea of having a unique dress that nobody else will have, you may want to work with one of the many independent wedding dress designers instead of buying a gown from a dress shop. Here are some tips if you decide to work with an independent designer.

You may want to make a few decisions before you start searching for someone to make your dress. For example, how formal do you want your wedding to be? This can affect the style you pick. Time of year and location will also potentially affect your choice as well although this is not always the case.

Of course, designers don't work for free. You should expect to pay more for a custom gown than you would for an off the rack dress from a salon. A designer may put a massive amount of work into creating a wedding gown. A dress will often use very expensive fabrics and beading and other embellishments may also take time to put on. There may also be costs for creating sketches as well. Knowing how much you can afford to spend will help you save time and energy when looking for a designer.

It can be helpful for you to know what kind of gown you are looking for. Brides should be willing to keep an open mind, however, and a good designer should be able to get a feel for what you want while ensuring a design is as flattering as possible.

If it is critical to you that you try on a gown you may want to look for designers that work from dress components. They will often have a number of different tops, skirts and sleeves for you to mix and match. Once you have found the combination that works well for you your custom dress will be created.

Some brides may be amazed at how long a custom gown can take to produce. It is always a good idea to start working with a designer as soon as possible. It may take time to create and then finalize a sketch. Once that is done, cutting, sewing, fitting and alterations must all be done. Each step will take time.

Finding a designer may take a bit more work than simply looking up a bridal salon and scheduling an appointment to try on dresses. Not every independent designer will be able or willing to create bridal gowns. If you live in a smaller city or town, you may need to travel to meet with your designer. Factoring this in to your decision making process will help you avoid disappointment or frustration further on down the road.

While it can be easier to simply go with a pre-made gown for your special day, it is not the right choice for every bride. If you want to make sure that your outfit looks completely unique and unlike anything that has been seen before, an independent designer can help you. Look online for names and contact information and make sure you read customer reviews to make sure you are working with someone that has the talent and experience to make your wedding dreams come true.
