MGC's Gown Shopping Tips

You've found Mr. Right. He's picked out the perfect ring and FINALLY gotten down on one knee.
Now, you're on the hunt for The Dress. Meg Guess Couture offers their advice to give you the advantage.

4 Things to Remember When Shopping for a Wedding Gown:

1. WHO TO BRING//Bring the people you absolutely need to make a decision. Those people should also understand what YOU are looking for and want to help you find YOUR gown.
2. BUDGET//Talk to any and all contributors and agree on a budget for your gown. Don't forget to consider if accessories [veil, sash, jewelry, etc] will also be included in the budget for your wedding day attire. Remember you will probably need additional alterations for a custom fit.
3. VENUE//Consider where your wedding is going to take place. Your venue can have a huge impact on the style of your gown.
4. TIMELINE//Couture bridal gowns take about 5-7 months to arrive. A rush may be added to an order for an additional and with approval from the designer. Meg Guess Couture often hosts a Sample Sale, with gowns that can be bought off the rack. Another thing to remember about ordering a new gown is alterations. This process can take up to 3 months.

Congratulations to all Brides-to-be! We can't wait to find you your gown!


With Love,

More "eye" opening favorites

Today, Meg's Best of the Best features Lash Extensions by Xtreme Lashes from Lauren Henry at BodyTrends North Salon. Contact her at 405.414.6166. Meg Guess Couture brides receive $25 Off their first set.

Eyelash extensions are different from false eyelashes. Extensions allow you to swim, shower, shed a tear, and sleep without worrying about adhesive wearing away. Extensions feel real and can last indefinitely, with periodical refills. Each lash is applied individually by a CertifiedStylist.

Megloves her extensions because she gets luscious lashes without a touch of mascara, and she can still add mascara for extra oomph. Check out Meg's luxe lashes.

Introducing Meg's Best of the Best

Meg Guess has made it a priority, since she opened Meg Guess Couture, not to put her name on anything she doesn't believe in. While applying this standard to the store, she also applies it to her life.

Meg takes everything she does or represents seriously. She researches extensively to ensure everything is of utmost quality before she is associated with it.

We, at MGC, have decided to feature products or services that can benefit brides and have earned Meg's Best of the Best stamp of approval, from her personal experience. Every time you see this pink ribbon, you will know that it is part of Meg's Best of the Best.

Best Wishes,

The MGC Team
