Wedding dress fitting guide

Finding the perfect wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process and make your shopping experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 

Start early: Give yourself plenty of time to find the perfect wedding dress. Most brides take time to find the most beautiful wedding dress in their own style, so it is best to start the search well before the wedding day. If you have a wedding in the summer of 2023, then right now is an excellent time to come and choose a wedding dress for your upcoming celebrations. 

Set your budget: Determine how much you are willing to pay for your wedding dress. This will help you narrow down your options and avoid falling in love with a dress that is out of your budget. 

Explore Dress Styles: Explore different wedding dress styles such as simple, classic, A-line, mermaid, ball gown with wide hem and more. This will give you an idea of ​​what you like and what looks best on your body type. 

Book your fitting appointment in advance: You can make an appointment for the Lavem wedding dress shop online at www.timma.fi/lavem. It is best to book an appointment in advance, especially during the wedding season, the appointment times on weekends can be popular.

Gather inspiration: Get to know the topic a little in advance by looking at wedding dress magazines, Pinterest boards and bridal blogs. You can bring with you emotional photos of the style of your wedding party, the dresses you like, and thus easily communicate your wishes to the bridal consultant. Lavem offers you particularly beautiful wedding dresses in several different styles and price ranges, for your own or for rent. 

Relax and enjoy the fitting of wedding dresses: We welcome you to your wedding dress fitting just as you are. Prefer well-fitting, perhaps skin-colored underwear, and if you wish, you can bring your own party shoes or other accessories that you intend to wear on your wedding day. 

Be open-minded: Be open and try different styles, even if they're not what you thought. You might be surprised by how the dress looks on you and end up falling in love with a style you never thought possible. 

Take your time: Don't feel pressured to make a decision right away. Take your time and make sure you are completely in love with the dress before making the purchase.

Get a second opinion: Bring a trusted friend or family member to the appointments. They can offer a different perspective and help you make a decision. We recommend limiting taste judges to 1-3 people closest to you, who value your own opinion and support you with your wishes.

By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect wedding dress for your special day. Enjoy the process and have fun! Welcome to Lavemi, a shop for especially beautiful wedding dresses in Tampere.
