How to Choose the Best Bridal Boutique for your Wedding Dress

Of course, the decision to get married is a huge thing, especially with the extensive amount of planning that goes into holding a wedding. But what surpasses all these decisions is the purchase of the most fundamental, important and equally confusing thing without which a bride will never be a bride. That thing is without a doubt, the wedding dress or gown. It is the ensemble that seals the deal at a wedding: it has to be perfect and should compliment the bride at her finest. If the wedding gown goes wrong, no wedding photographer can help with the pictures. To put it very simply, it has to look exquisite, charming and should enhance the bride’s beauty in just the right way.

All of this of course cannot be done easily; one has to choose the perfect gown and thus, the perfect place from where it is to be bought or made. Ensuring that the boutique is perfect from the plethora of choices that are available in Singapore is a task in itself. So how does one go about doing the same? Let us look at the basic steps through which one can arrive at the most suitable boutique for one’s wedding dress:

• Research: The first thing to do is proper research. With each possible filter and parameter, research online, ask around and do everything possible to prepare an exhaustive list of possible boutiques. Be it budget, style, time limit, service etc., ensure that each detail is carefully thought of while researching.

• Budget: The budget for the dress is of utmost importance. It should be planned properly and consensually with the groom. Only then can one decide whether one wants a one- stop boutique or a designer one. Additional expenses that one might incur in the course of the planning should also be taken into account.

• Type of Boutique: Usually, there are two types of bridal boutiques that one chooses from: a one- stop service bridal boutique that takes care of all the services like wedding photography, make- up artists etc. or a designer boutique that focuses primarily on creating a unique wedding gown. One can choose from the same as per requirement.

• Service: Since you are going to be dealing with the boutique for quite some time, it is a good idea to check their service quality, professionalism and attention to clients’ needs and requirements. You should feel comfortable with the service provided and communication should be easy and simple.

• Trial: One should not hesitate to try on the dresses and gown available with them so as to be satisfied with the quality of the material, the feel of the dress, the fitting etc. as long as one is satisfied with that, one should go ahead; if not, do not hesitate in leaving the service.

• Work and Recommendation: Last but not the least, before finalizing the boutique, ask to check their previous work samples to ensure that quality work will be done. Also, check whether they can provide authentic recommendations.
