Not sure what to do with your bridal jewelry and dress?Maybe you don't spend a lot of time with sentimental thoughts in which case selling it might make sense.  Even if you can only sell it for 50% of what you paid for it all, you may be able to pay off some of those wedding bills with the money that you make from it.  To some women they think this is silly or just plain wrong, but for other women that do not form attachments to material things, selling their wedding dress and jewelry seems perfectly acceptable.  You need to decide for yourself if you are comfortable selling these things as they are an important part of your history.

A Cautionary Tale

Many Bridezilla story has roots in a friend or family member overestimating their sewing ability, and making a generous but miscalculated offer to whip up a bridal gown from scratch.  The result can be an embarrassingly poor fit, the amateur seamstress feeling imposed upon, and in many cases, a permanent rift between longtime friends.

My bride to be friend picked out a sexy strapless wedding dress which complemented her well-endowed figure. The dress was part of an ensemble including a lace jacket which would provide a little more modesty, but $800 for the jacket alone seemed excessive.  I suggested that my 21-year-old daughter, who makes her own clothes, could make the jacket for $200.  That was my first mistake.  

Once the bride turned up for the fitting, she did not bring the wedding dress (which was at the bridal shop being altered, so the jacket was outfitted over her street clothes.  After my daughter finished it the day before the wedding, it turned out to be so loose and ill fitting that the bride started crying and threw it away.  My daughter had already cached and spent the bride’s check, and made the excuses that she had never worked with lace before, and that the bride was at fault for failing to bring the wedding dress to the jacket fitting.

She wore the bridal gown without the jacket. I caught a bridesmaid’s gossip that she was concerned that the bride would pop out of the top of her gown. At my boyfriend’s encouragement, I ended up writing the bride a check for $200. It’s hard to pin down who was at fault, but for the sake of a friendship I valued, I accepted responsibility.

When little girls spend their math classes daydreaming of weddings ( instead winning the World Series — not to say you can’t do both ), what do they dream of first? The perfect marriage dress, naturally : a gown in ideal embellishments, and sweeping train, the ideal elaborations, and the ideal shoes.

Many brides are lucky. They may search high and low, braving chilly department shops and in your face bridal shops, but eventually they come face-to-face with The One. They know this is The One because they start crying, or their ma or chums all start crying instantly. All of the planning … the tone, the right sort of venues … it all springs to life.

Other brides are not as lucky. They’ve searched just as hard, working their way through shops across 3 or four states, but they have not found The One. Instead, they’ve found 3 or four Contenders, all of which are serviceable and nice, but not earth-shattering sufficient to tell them that now is definitely time to stop the looking and get on with the planning. These brides have it harder.

Even if you’re the first kind of bride, buying the dress is such a significant call that you run a likelihood of falling into that wallet-skinning class known as the Two-Dress Bride. Here are some tips for picking the perfect dress and avoiding that awful fate.

1. Bring the entourage, but do not buy. It is fun and helpful to bring your mother, friends or sisters on the dress-shopping expedition. It gives you a buffer against an overbearing sales staff, and it’s entertaining to see whether your impressions of perfection are shared by your family and friends, not to mention how they’ll love being an element of such an important decision. But irrespective of how enthusiastic everyone gets over a certain dress, don’t buy in the heat of the moment. Give yourself time to reconsider and buy with a cool head later, alone. The vast majority of dresses are non-returnable, so when you have acquired it, you have acquired it.

2. Don’t buy too early unless you may. Bridal gowns can take 4 to ten months from the maker, but there’s no reason to buy over a year ahead of time, unless your selected style is going to be abandoned. Give yourself some time to sit on your call. When you pick a robe, you can see a hundred others almost like it. You’ll become a walking encyclopedia on that style of gown. All the better if you have room to choose.

3. If you’ve bought “The One,” stop shopping. Any more window-shopping at about that point will only lead you down the road toward the dreary land of Two-Dress Brides. What you need to do instead is remember that happy sense of having attempted on The One. Go get The One out of the closet, put it on and stand before the mirror. You can remember precisely why it is the One.

4. If you’ve bought “The One” and can’t stop shopping, get a 2nd view. Show your first and second choices to other brides. Be truthful — tell them you have already remortgaged your apartment for the first dress, but you think this 2nd dress might be It. They will be honest, too — the 1st one was better. You will feel reassured.

5. Don’t tell yourself “I’ll sell the old dress and choose a new one.” This old saw of the Two-Dress Bride just won’t work. You’ll never get more than a fragment of what you paid for your first dress if you purchased it new.

6. Don’t be afraid to target high — no matter what your position. Some brides knew from the start they wanted a designer label, but life just did not cooperate by making them heiresses. Yet all isn’t lost if you are prepared to buy courageously. At any given moment, a better-heeled bride is selling her once-used St. Pucchi or Ulla-Maija on eBay. She paid thousands upon thousands, but you, smart patron, will pay half that or less. To take this road, you have to shop sooner than other brides so you will have a choice of gowns.

7. Shop on the web, but never send a check. Bridal robe companies infrequently have a way of vanishing overnite. Irrespective of what the owner tells you, never make a purchase as large as a wedding gown without the chargeback protection of a credit card. If they say they can’t take plastic, move on.

8. Don’t hold out forever for The One. Some brides never find The One. What they do find is a few dresses they look beautiful in. If you’re this bride, try beginning your planning from the theme rather than the dress. You will potentially finally get sick to death of dress shopping. When that happens, “good enough” really will be good enough. Concentrate on other facets of the marriage that mean a lot to you, like the venue, the food, or the inescapable devotion of your soon-to-be husband.

Choosing a wedding gown as a wedding planner is a very important process, one that a bride gets incredibly excited about. It’s one of the most fun aspects of preparing your wedding. Even if your wedding planner doesn’t know what dress you want to get, they’ll be able to help you out so that the wedding gown you choose will be memorable for the rest of your life. So with this in mind, it’s one part of your wedding you do not want to wait until the last minute to plan. With that in mind, here are some tips, straight from the mind of a wedding planner that will help you start your search!

It’s likely that your gown will take about 4-6 months to arrive after you’ve ordered it. So start looking for the perfect gown EARLY! You’ll want to order it as soon as possible so you can have ample time for fittings and alterations well before the BIG DAY. It will take a while to find the gown, so don’t underestimate it. Each fitting and alteration will take ample amounts of time.

You should sit down and plan out your dress budget with your wedding planner, keeping in mind that there are several things to buy like jewelry, accessories, gloves, veil, and other clothing.

Make sure you try your dress on because they don’t look like they do hanging up! So try on several gowns. You might find that a gorgeous gown on the hanger might not flatter your figure as you’d hoped. Never choose a gown without trying it on!

Ask your wedding planner or store staff to help you out with any questions you may have. They are there to help, and more than likely, they’ve sold hundreds of wedding dresses to women like you. In addition, when you speak with the wedding planner or staff, it will give them a good idea for what you are looking for.

Don’t make the mistake of ordering a gown that is “only one size smaller” than your usual size. It’s much cheaper to order the right size, instead of ordering smaller with the promise to yourself that you’ll lose weight before the wedding.

Grab your wedding planner when your dress arrives at the store, and make sure to look at it at the store. Try the wedding dress on there before you pay for it.

While trying the dress on, view all angles. Finding something you don’t like at the store is much easier to fix than finding it once you get home, so make sure you tell your wedding planner or store staff any imperfections that you find. More than likely, they will be able to alter and fix the problem.

As a wedding planner who does several weddings per month, I wish you the absolute best luck in your wedding gown search!
