Question 1

How do I choose the right dress for my body type?

Accepted Answer

A-line flatters most body types, mermaid accentuates curves, ball gown creates drama, sheath is sleek and modern, and empire waist elongates the torso. A skilled bridal consultant will guide you based on your proportions.

Question 2

What red flags should I watch for at bridal shops?

Accepted Answer

High-pressure sales tactics, no written estimates, poor alteration quality, missed deadlines, non-refundable deposits without a contract, and inability to provide references from recent brides.

Question 3

How many fittings do I need for my wedding dress?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 2–3 fittings: initial alterations, mid-point check, and final fitting 1–2 weeks before the wedding. Bring your wedding shoes, undergarments, and accessories to each fitting for accurate adjustments.

Question 4

What should mothers of the bride/groom wear in Israel?

Accepted Answer

Elegant cocktail dresses or gowns in complementary (not matching) colors to the wedding palette. Avoid white/ivory. Consider the venue and season—lighter fabrics and shorter hems for outdoor summer events.

Question 5

How do I match my wedding outfit to the venue and theme?

Accepted Answer

A grand ballroom calls for a formal gown; a beach wedding suits flowy fabrics; a garden party invites romantic details. Coordinate with your decorator for color harmony. Bring venue photos when dress shopping.
