Question 1

When should I start shopping for my wedding dress?

Accepted Answer

Begin 8–12 months before the wedding for custom orders. Off-the-rack or rental options can be found 3–6 months out. Allow time for 2–3 fittings/alterations, typically spread over 6–8 weeks.

Question 2

What accessories should I consider for my wedding outfit?

Accepted Answer

Brides: veil or headpiece, jewelry (keep it simple), shoes (comfort for hours of dancing), and a clutch. Grooms: tie or bow tie, cufflinks, boutonniere, dress shoes, and a pocket square.

Question 3

Can I have a second dress for the party portion?

Accepted Answer

A second look is increasingly popular in Israel—a formal gown for the ceremony and a shorter, danceable dress for the party. It adds excitement and is practical for comfort during the celebration.

Question 4

What fabrics work best for Israeli climate weddings?

Accepted Answer

Lightweight fabrics like chiffon, organza, crepe, and light lace breathe well in heat. Avoid heavy satin, velvet, or excessive layers for summer weddings. For winter, richer fabrics and long sleeves work beautifully.

Question 5

What shoes should I wear for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Comfort is key for 6+ hours of standing and dancing. Block heels, platforms, or elegant flats are popular choices. For outdoor venues, avoid thin stilettos. Break in your shoes before the event.
