Hi everybody,
i have just started looking for my gown, Ive been to a few places already with no real luck so far. I am wondering when the new styles come out and whether i should start looking again then... any ideas?
I believe that Spring designs come out in the fall, and Fall designs come out in the Spring. I may be wrong, but that's what I was told! Good luck and have fun!
I just recently quit my job at Kleinfeld so I know the scoop.
Wedding dresses are NOT released by season like clothes are (although that would probably make life easier). Here's how it works...
'Market week' happens in March. This is when all the designers show their new dresses. It's like fashion week for the bridal industry. The buyers from the bridal stores attend and see all the new fashion and place their orders for samples. The orders trickle in to the stores for the next few months some as soon as a month or two, some taking as long as 7 or 8 months. It depends on the designer. I suggest that you not wait for the 'new styles' to come out, since there is doesn't really work like that. It's not like you'll walk in to a bridal store in June and see all new dresses. What you should do is just hit as many stores as you can, and check out weddingchannel.com to search for dresses. They have a really large selection
just wondering, I have been finding the bottoms to dresses that i like (tulle or organza big ballgown with some sort of sparkly beading in the skirt) but not crazy about the bodice and vice versa. I like beaded sparkly bodice strapless. My mom said there are places where they will mix and match for you, i have no clue how to go about doing this or if it's even possible....any ideas?
the designer or manufacturer more than the store. Many designers will let you order a skirt with out the trim on it. Or a bodice with out something on it. If the store says no, they are probably lying to you (with the exception of some higher end designers like Reem Acra who don't want their dresses 're-designed'). I ordered my dress completely with out any thing on it at all. The store will put the trim and rhinestones on the way that I want them because I didn't like it the way that it came.
