Tip of the Day: Yukia Walker and Yuneisia Harris, the owners of Curvaceous Couture, advise their clients to plan (and budget) for alterations. "A lot of brides don't realize that wedding gowns don't fit like off-the-rack clothes do. Wedding gowns are built according to a size chart that doesn't match up to a bride's measurements perfectly. Alterations are required to nip and smooth them out to create a flawless, tailored look."
