Tip of the Day: Most brides need two or three alteration sessions before the wedding. Fit is so important to how you’ll look in your dress, and your alterations pro will be super-conscientious about every little detail, ensuring smooth seams, the right hem length, and more. It’s a common mistake to think they should get it right in one session, so set realistic expectations that you may need to go back a few times for meticulous VIP fittings.

Tip of the Day: As soon as possible after selecting them, treat your bridesmaids to a girls' night out, ladies’ brunch or spa day, so that they meet and bond at the start of your wedding planning season.

This early fete for them begins their "bridesmaid team experience" by receiving a treat from you — rather than just spending, spending, spending on bridesmaid responsibilities. And when the bridesmaids mix and mingle over cocktails, manis or macarons, they’ll be far more comfortable working together on your shower and bachelorette party plans.
