GO: Ideally, how far in advance should a bride purchase her gown?
A: We recommend purchasing your gown a year in advance. This ensures you won’t run into rush fees or delays from the designer and will give you ample time for alterations when the gown arrives.
GO: What advice do you have for brides in search of the perfect wedding dress?
A: 1. While we always recommend doing your research, be open to your stylist’s suggestions – they are the professionals!

3. Know your budget and clearly communicate that with your stylist.
4. Do not bring anyone to your appointment who is not crucial in your decision making process. While wedding dress shopping is SO fun, it can easily take a turn with too many opinions and personalities that will distract or take away from your experience.
GO: Are there any bridal fashion trends that stand out to you this year?

At Elizabeth Johns, we have a beautiful relationship with our designer partners; and because of that, we are able to loan in most styles if we do not currently have the sample in our salons. We have one of the most talented in-house alterations teams as well as the ability to create completely custom designs in both bridal and evening wear, accessories, and heirloom re-designs through our partnership with designer Kiera Elise.
