Everything for the wedding: dresses, suits, shoes, accessories and decor
Wedding shopping is best planned early
The bride's outfit, the groom's suit, shoes, accessories and decor have to go together. So first settle the style and colours, and only then look for individual items. An outfit is sometimes stitched or altered to your figure, which takes time, and the closer the date, the fewer choices you have.
This section gathers everything you need: wedding dresses, wedding suits, bridesmaid dresses, wedding shoes, plus accessories, lingerie and wedding decor and supplies. You don't have to search for each item separately: you can describe everything in one request or split it into several, depending on who sells what.
What to put in your request
- What you need — dress, suit, shoes, veil, jewellery, toasting glasses, arch.
- Wedding date — it decides whether the item can be stitched or brought in on time.
- Silhouette and style — A-line, mermaid, straight, full; classic or boho.
- Size and measurements — bust, waist, hips, height; shoe size.
- Colour — white, ivory, blush, champagne; the colour scheme of the event.
- New or second-hand — rental, purchase, or a dress worn only once.
- Services — alterations, cleaning, delivery, trial fitting.
- City and budget — and whether you can travel for a fitting.
How to compare offers
You write one request on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers and boutiques answer in the chat: what they offer, for how much, when it is ready and what is included. BlaBlaPrice shows the best offer by content first, with seller reviews next to each one. Sellers see their place among others and can improve their terms.
Compare what exactly is in the price: alterations to your figure, cleaning after the event, a veil or petticoat, delivery. For a dress, ask about the fabric and lining, and whether you can try it on before buying. Ask about timing: stitching can take several weeks, and if time is short, it is better to look for something ready-made.
New, second-hand and rental
- A new dress lets you choose a style to suit you, but it costs more.
- A pre-owned dress in good condition can be a better deal if it was worn once; ask for photos and check small defects.
- Rental makes sense for things worn for one day, but check the deposit and the damage rules.
- Decor and supplies are often cheaper as a set, because they have to match in style.
Budget and priorities
Set your priorities. The dress and the suit are usually the most important, so spend most of the budget on them. Small items (toasting glasses, ring cushions, garters) can be simpler or chosen as a set. It helps to estimate a total for everything and to give an approximate budget in your request, so sellers don't offer extras.
Common mistakes
The most common is leaving the choice of the dress to the last moment. The second is buying a size “with room” or “to lose weight into” instead of altering to your figure. The third is forgetting shoes and underwear: a dress may need special lingerie or a different heel. Finally, many people don't ask about care: cleaning a wedding dress is a separate service. Decor should also be ordered early: arches and props take time to make.
