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,

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

Jim Hjelm trunk show this week only!

Have you booked your appointment for our Jim Hjelm trunk show this week? This is the perfect opportunity to view Jim Hjelm’s best selling styles. This show runs from Thursday, January 14th through Saturday, January 16th. If you are unfamiliar with what a trunk show actually is, here’s the scoop. Because we are unable to carry the entire collection from a season, we choose our favorite pieces for our studio’s stock inventory. These are the sample dresses you see on a daily basis in the studio. A trunk show is an event where the vendor ships the entire collection to our store (in trunks, of course) and provides our brides the opportunity to access all the dresses we know they will love.

In addition to the trunk show, we have new spring styles arriving daily. Be the first to try on these amazing new gowns straight from the New York runways! We are so excited to show you what we have here in our studio. This spring is shaping up to be the best season for bridal gowns yet. Call us today to book your appointment – the sooner you set your appointment, the sooner you will find your dream dress! We only have a few available left so don't wait! Our studio's number: 405.604.2727
