A funny thing happens after you purchase your gown: nothing. For the next 4-6 months (or less, if you have special circumstances) a whole lot of nothing is going to go down. Bridal gowns are a specific lot - their made to order, and making couture gowns to order takes time. It's normal to be anxious, nervous, and antsy while your waiting for your dream dress to arrive. In the meantime, here are a few things to do, and a few not to do:
To Do:
1. Shop for accessories! Your consultant will provide you with a swatch of the fabric from your dress - this is the time to use it. Take it shoe shopping - you'll want to have your shoes by the time your gown arrives. Use it to help choose linens, or the shirt for your fiance's tux, or your flowergirl dress - keep it in your purse and use it at whim.
2. Shop for your friends and family. Now is the time to focus on bridesmaids' dresses and mom's attire and a suit for the groom. Go back to step one and repeat the process for your best girlfriends, or assign them a color and let them fend for themselves.
3. Don't wonder. If you have any questions, doubts, or worries about your gown, call your consultant. She would much, much, much rather have you ask her a question that might seem silly than worry about something you shouldn't be worried about. If your mind isn't perfectly at ease, call! We'd love to hear from you.
Not To Do:
1. Do Not try on other dresses. You wouldn't date another guy once you were engaged, and you shouldn't mess around with other dresses once you've committed to yours. Bridal Brainfreeze can still strike. Trust your gut. If you have doubts about your gown, ask to come back in a try the sample again. 9 times out of 10, just seeing yourself in the dress will remind you why you loved it so much in the first place.
2. Do Not make yourself crazy. If you have questions, ask them. If you need something, we'll figure out how to get it for you. Trust your consultant- she's got this.
