Wedding Attire for the
Bride
Your wedding day attire will be the most
special outfit you’ll ever own, be it an elaborate gown, a simple sophisticated
dress or an elegant suit. Before picking out a gown, consider all your options.
Will you buy one of the fabulous creations of a well-known designer from a full
service bridal salon, wear a family heirloom that could use some redesign, or
have your gown custom designed to reflect your personality?

Wedding Attire for the Groom
The groom, his attendants and the fathers may not choose to dress identically,
but their attire should complement the bride’s, and reflect the wedding’s
formality. Flatter the groom’s build. Add cohesion with ties, cummerbunds
or suspenders in the same color as the bridesmaids’ dresses. If all the
men are dressing identically, have the groom wear a special boutonniere or distinguishing
neckwear.

• When can the formal wear be returned?
• How can out-of-town guests communicate measurements?
• How far in advance must I book your services?
• What is your cancellation policy?
• Is a deposit required? If so, when and how much?
