One of the focal points in any wedding preparation is undoubtedly the selection of the perfect wedding gown. It's the dress that you've perhaps dreamt of since childhood, with each lace, every sequin, and the sweeping train envisioned in lucid dreams. Now as the big day approaches, the reality of finding that perfect dress comes into focus. Among the plethora of tasks on your checklist, pencilling in the appointment to get your gown sorted stands out with a bold underline. But when is the right time to make that crucial appointment? Let’s unveil the timeline to ensure you have the most exquisite gown that fits like a dream on your special day.
At Sharif Tailoring, we understand the magnitude of this task and aim to simplify the process for you. Our experience tells us that timing is essential. So, here’s our guide on scheduling your wedding gown appointment.
Plan Ahead
If you're the planner type and your wedding is still 6 to 9 months away, this is the opportune moment to start engaging with us. At this stage, we offer a pre-appointment to sit down and chat about what you envision for your wedding gown. Whether you have a clear image or a vague idea, this discussion will help shape the journey towards fitting your perfect dress.
During this initial meeting, we will provide a carefully itemised quote based on your specifications at that time. If your vision evolves, this may increase/decrease the cost and we can be flexible to do more or less to suit you.
Flexibility and Assurance
The beauty of the pre-appointment is the assurance and flexibility it provides. Regardless of how far in the future your wedding is, securing a quote now is a prudent step. It not only gives a clear cost outline but also sets the stage for the creation process. It allows for unhurried, thoughtful decisions, devoid of last-minute rushes which could compromise the quality and intricacy of your gown.
Moreover, we believe in maintaining open communication lines. As the Big day approaches, your preference might evolve, and having an ongoing conversation ensures that the final piece is nothing short of perfection.
We recommend scheduling the first fitting no more than 3 months before the wedding day. This timeframe allows for any minor adjustments to ensure the gown drapes elegantly, highlighting your features and ensuring you are comfortable.
The First Fitting
The journey from the first discussion to the final fitting is one filled with anticipation, excitement, and a myriad of emotions. Every stitch, every fitting, and every discussion is a step closer to the grand aisle walk, where you'll sweep everyone off their feet in a gown that resonates with your personality and the love that you're celebrating.
We, at Sharif Tailoring, are not just about the dress; we are about crafting memories, encapsulating your essence into a gown that will forever hold a special place in your heart.
It’s never too soon to discuss how to bring your dream dress to life. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
