You Can Order Bridal Suits In Bridal Shops

Most of the wedding suits you see pictured can be purchased at your local bridal shop.

You can go in with the name of the designer and the style number and place an order. Most shops will have a limited selection of styles and sizes to actually see.

Here are some things you need to know when ordering...

1. Order far in advance of the wear date. It takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months for something to come in from a designer.
2. Pick styles that are similar to something you have worn before that was complimentary to your figure, since most of the time you will not be able to try on the bridal suit.
   
3. Go with a style you know usually works for you.
4. Make sure to allow time for alterations.
   

There are no refunds or exchanges for these special orders, so make sure you are happy with your choice before ordering.

Purchase From Online Discount Bridal Shop

You can also purchase your wedding outfit from an online discount bridal shop. These online stores sell the same merchandise that your local bridal shops carry but for a cheaper price.

• Do your research before going this route. There are some reputable sites out there but there are also some that make "copy cat" versions of designer's clothing also.
