Is it Better to Buy my Wedding Dress at a Store or Online?

One of the most essential details for a bride-to-be is finding the perfect gown. Whether they have a specific style in mind or designer, there are many different parts to the wedding gown equation that go into consideration — but what about where to purchase it? While many brides will buy their gown in person, some consider buying it online — but is that the better choice?


Not Possible to Try it On

Granted, you might know what your dress size is but some gowns either run too big or small, depending on who the designer is. And if you’re purchasing your wedding dress online, there’s a chance that it might not fit the way you’d like it to. Sure, you can get it altered, but if the dress arrives at the very last minute, it might not be ready by your big day.

Won’t be Able to Feel the Fabric

On your wedding day, you want to be as comfortable as possible — and if the dress is made from a scratchy material, then that can be an issue when you’re trying to dance and have fun all night long. Unlike purchasing your dress in a physical store, you might not know what it might feel like until you receive it in the mail. Another downside of purchasing your dress online? There's a chance it can be made of another material other than the one that's listed — and that's never a good thing (considering the initial cost of most wedding dresses).

Where Should I Purchase my Wedding Dress?

Drumroll, please: at the store! While this may have seemed like the better choice from the start, it’s always good to weigh out the possibilities of both options. When you’re looking to purchase a gown for your big day, it’s best to head on over to your local bridal boutique — and Village Bridal & Boutique of Babylon can lend a helping hand!
