Kate Wedding Dress

75 Wedding Tips

For 75 years, Alfred Angelo has been helping brides have the day of their dreams and now we want to share our best tips with you.

All about your dress

1. Gown shopping should be a priority on your ‘to do’ list. It takes months to make your dress, so give yourself plenty of time.

3. Wedding gowns tend to run small in size. You will probably need a gown that is a size or two larger than you are accustomed to buying. Do not panic!

4. When starting to shop, print out pictures of gowns that you like. This will help you explain to your bridal specialist what your perfect dress looks like. (more…)
