Wedding Planning

Congratulations! You have a ring on your finger and are getting ready to walk down the aisle. There is just one catch… now you have to plan the wedding of your dreams. There are hundreds of wedding timelines online and every married person now wants to share their wedding planning experience.

If there is one thing that should be set in stone on your timeline it is that YOU should say yes to the dress 9-months in advance and here are some reasons why. 

Reason 1: More gown options!

There are hundreds of wedding gown options out there. A standard special order wedding gown takes around 6 months to get to you. Don’t forget that you need to add in a few extra months for alterations. When you shop 9 months in advance you allow yourself to have all of the beautiful wedding gown options available. When you wait too long to shop you begin to be restricted to off-the-rack gowns. There is certainly nothing wrong with off-the-rack gowns but your options are more limited. 

Reason 2: It will save you money!

Yes, shopping in advance can save you money! The longer you wait to find your dream wedding gown the more expensive things can be. Designers offer expedited shipping of gowns which is called a rush. That rush isn’t free though. A standard rush can range from $75 upwards to $300. Don’t forget… that is an additional fee to the current price of shipping. Additionally, many seamstresses charge extra for speedy alterations. During peak alterations season, you can be charged up to double to have quick alterations done. 

Reason 3: Shopping is more fun!

Wedding dress shopping can be stressful and sometimes a little overwhelming, add a time crunch to that and it can be less than enjoyable. When you shop 9-months in advance you are able to fully enjoy your shopping experience! It gives you time to relax and enjoy instead of feeling like a race against the clock.

For some brides, this article just gave you a sigh of relief and for others, we can feel your heartbeat picking up. Don’t stress though, at Gretchen’s Bridal Gallery we are here for YOU! No matter what your timeline. Well… what are you waiting for? Book your wedding dress shopping appointment today at Gretchen’s Bridal Gallery.

Your bridal hair accessories have the power to transform your entire wedding day look. Whether you prefer a simple hairpin or dazzling tiara, choosing the perfect accessories involves a variety of important details. Here are a few of our best tips for brides searching for the perfect hair accessories.   

Choose your Hairstyle

Before you can begin choosing your bridal hair accessories for your wedding day, you’ll first need to know what hairstyle you’ll be wearing. This allows you to pick accessories that fit not only your hairstyle but your overall wedding day look. Your stylist can also try the hair pieces on you beforehand so you’ll know which works and which accessories may not be a good fit. 

Consider Your Dress

Another important detail to consider before deciding on hair accessories is your wedding dress. This sets the tone for the rest of your bridal ensemble as it allows you to match your accessories to the dress itself. For example, if your dress has lace or embellished details, you may opt for a lace headband or jeweled hairpin. 

Know Your Options

There’s such a large selection of options when choosing bridal hair accessories. From classic combs and hairpins to statement headbands and flowers, every bride can find something she loves. The type of accessory will also depend heavily on your wedding hairstyle as many work best on specific styles. We recommend trying a few different options with your stylist to find which works best for you on your wedding day. 

Change It Up

Having trouble deciding on a single hairstyle or accessory for your big day? Similar to your outfit changes, you can also switch up your accessories for each look. For example, you can wear a chic updo for your ceremony with a jeweled hair comb, then change to loose curls for your reception with a romantic tiara.

With its warm weather, sunny days, and beautiful outdoor venues, summer is the ideal season for a gorgeous wedding. However, the heat can also quickly lead to a makeup meltdown for brides who are unprepared. Here are a few of our best summer wedding makeup tips to help you look and feel your best on your special day. 

Add a Pop of Color

Summer is the perfect season to include a pop of color in your wedding makeup. Add a touch of playfulness to your look with a bold lip in bright red or vibrant pink, or opt for a dramatic eyeshadow color instead. We recommend only choosing one statement piece in your makeup look to avoid too many contrasting colors. 

Keep it Matte

Avoid any additional oils on your skin for your wedding by opting for matte products instead. A matte foundation, powder and bronzer work great for keeping your skin light and dry all day long. Moisturizers can often make your skin appear oily as well so feel free to skip these and any extra lotions on your wedding day. 

Apply SPF

Protecting your skin is crucial at all times of year, but even more important during an outdoor wedding in the summer. Many foundations, creams and moisturizers have SPF included which make great options to include in your wedding day makeup routine. Sunscreen face mists are also an easy way to touch up your SPF as needed throughout your wedding. 

Use Waterproof Products

In addition to using waterproof mascara on the day of your wedding, we recommend using waterproof products for every step of your eye makeup. Not only with this help avoid streaks on a hot day, you can also shed a tear without having to worry about your makeup running in the moment. 

Have a Touch Up Kit

One of the most important details of your summer wedding makeup includes having a touch-up kit on hand for emergencies. Have a member of your bridal party or a family member keep the kit close by for any last minute touch ups. Some of our must-have items for your kit include blotting papers, face powder and lipstick for those moments you want to reapply.

There are nearly endless options to choose from when shopping for wedding day attire for two grooms. Whether you prefer to match or show off your individual styles, don’t be afraid to mix + match colors, prints, and even accessories. From the classic tux to bold blazers, here are just a few of our favorite groom tuxedo ideas for same-sex weddings.

Bold Blazer

Let your personal style shine through on your wedding day with a bold blazer. Not only does it add a fun, unexpected pop of color to your attire, you can also coordinate with your partner. Look for a blazer in a bright color such as aqua or maroon, or even opt for a playful print or pattern. 

Similar Color Combos

For grooms looking to coordinate their tuxedos for your special day, we recommend wearing the same suit color in different shades. This creates a cohesive look that isn’t too matching. Some of our favorite color combos are navy + light blue and lilac + pink. 

A Classic Tux

If you want to keep your wedding day attire more clean and classic, you can’t go wrong with a traditional black and white tuxedo. They’re timeless yet modern, and look great on everyone. You also have the option to wear matching tuxedos, or mix it up with both black and white suit jackets. 

Switch Up Accessories

One of the easiest ways to make same-sex weddings look unique to your own style is by switching up the accessories. Whether you’re wearing matching tuxedos or just want to add some individuality to your attire, change it up with different accessories. One groom can wear a tie while the other wears a bowtie, or opt for different colored pocket squares or boutonnières.

Beginning the search for your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of the wedding planning process. From when to begin shopping to common mistakes we often see brides make, here are a few important details from our owner Gretchen to help prepare you for your wedding dress appointment.

How early do you recommend brides begin dress shopping before their wedding?

Wedding dress shopping is exciting and a HUGE part of your wedding planning experience. I recommend shopping nine months to a year in advance. This timeline will give you access to all the dress options you could want. This timeline also makes the process less stressful and more relaxing.

What should brides bring with them to their dress appointment?

Brides should bring: 

• Wedding dress inspiration (Pinterest board, designer pictures, etc.)
• A select group of people who will make you feel supported and confident in making a decision. 
• Water. Trying on dresses can get a little hot and a little sweaty. 
• Undergarments that make you feel comfortable. We recommend something in a nude color but don’t even worry about a bra because most dresses have cups built-in!

Is there anything a bride should do to prepare for her appointment?

The most important things to do before your appointment are:

• Find inspiration for your gown. Your stylist uses the gown inspiration as a starting point.
• Research the shops in your area to see who aligns with your style and price point.
• Discuss and set a price point. We always want to respect your price point!

Do you recommend a weekday appointment versus a weekend date? Why?

I recommend a weekday appointment for people who want a more chill and quiet shopping experience. The weekdays are less busy, so they are ideal for people who want something calmer.

I recommend a weekend appointment for those people who thrive off of energy. We like to say that the weekend has a “party-like atmosphere”. The weekends are when we take most of our appointments, so they are energetic. 

Regardless of whether you want to visit us on the weekday or weekend, always make an appointment. When you book an appointment, we assign a stylist to help you through your shopping.

How many friends + family members should a bride bring to her appointment?

We recommend bringing only 3-5 guests. The people you invite to your wedding dress appointment should support you and what you want for your wedding.

What size range do your dresses come in?

At our Indy location, we carry special order gowns in the size range of 0-32 for all body types. Don’t forget alterations are what will make a dress perfect for you!

What are some mistakes you often see brides make when shopping for a wedding dress?

Brides not being open to new styles. Brides come in with a vision of what they want, and sometimes when they have on that “dream dress,” it doesn’t match what they had in their mind. We see brides all the time coming in with one look in their mind, and then they fall in love with another. That is why you have a stylist who can help you through the process. 

Brides are bringing the wrong people. Bring the people who make you feel confident and loved to your bridal appointment. Your appointment is a time to celebrate you! Include the people you don’t want at your appointment in other ways, like bringing them to your first fitting and have a dress reveal. 

Brides are setting their expectations too high. Not every bride is going to cry when they find their dream dress. Not every dress will fit perfectly. Not every bride will fall in love with the first dress they try on. That is okay! Your shopping experience is special because it is YOURS. And just remember you only need to love one dress!

While shopping online for bridesmaid dresses may seem like the easier option, it can often lead to poor fitting gowns and more money spent on alterations. Here are just a few reasons why the best place for bridesmaid dresses isn’t online.

Better Quality

We’ve heard all the horror stories of brides purchasing their bridesmaid dresses online, only to have them arrive looking completely different than the photos. The quality of online dresses simply does not match store quality a majority of the time. The cost difference between online and in-store shopping is also small.

Less Alterations

More alterations means more money. Save your bridesmaids both time and money by shopping in-store for gowns that will have a better fit versus online dresses with incorrect size charts. At Gretchen’s, you’ll be measured and sized in store by our bridal specialists, which also leads to a better gown fit.

More Flattering 

Not only do online bridesmaid dresses often not fit correctly, they are also not usually the most flattering for all body types. When you shop in-store, you’re able to see the gowns in person as well as trying them on for yourself to ensure they’ll look great on everyone in your bridal party. Trust us, your bridesmaids will thank you! 

Looks Better in Photos

Your wedding photos are images that you’ll look back on for years to come. Ill-fitting bridesmaid dresses are sure to stand out in pictures – and not in a good way. Shop in-store to avoid these cheap looking gowns and help your bridesmaids feel beautiful when taking photos on your special day.

When choosing a hairstyle for your wedding, it’s also important to consider the style of your dress. While some necklines look better with a tight updo, others might pair well with a softer hairstyle. From chic buns to loose waves, here’s an easy guide on how to pick the best wedding hairstyles to match your dress neckline.

Low Back

Low or open-back dresses can be breathtaking, and are meant to be shown off. Instead of hiding the details, we’ve found that some of the best wedding hairstyles for a low back dress are textured braids and low ponytails. Depending on the design of your dress, half up/half down styles are great as well – especially for shorter hair. You can also pull your hair back into a relaxed fishtail braid to accentuate the low back neckline. 

Strapless

Perhaps the most popular neckline is a strapless wedding dress. It’s also incredibly versatile and allows you to be more creative with your hairstyle. Opt to wear your hair down with loose waves, or even wear it half-up if you can’t decide on an updo. For brides who want to show off their shoulders, we recommend a high ballerina bun for added glamour.

High Neck

Not only is a high neck gown one of the more dramatic necklines, it also draws the eye directly up to your face. This is ideal for a chic updo to let your neckline be the main focus of your dress. Sweeping your hair back into a textured bun or sleek ponytail can also help keep your wedding hairstyle simple yet elegant. 

Off the Shoulder

An off the shoulder neckline is both feminine and romantic, just as your hairstyle should be to match. Similar to a strapless dress, an off the shoulder gown allows you to style your hair in numerous ways. Keep it soft with loose waves that are side-swept with a beautiful hairpin or floral headpiece. This neckline also works well with textured braids or a charming braided updo with a few floating curls. 

Boat Neck

A boat neckline, also known as a bateau neck, is a classic design that stretches across your collarbone creating a horizontal neckline. We recommend pulling your hair back into a  low bun or chignon to frame your face. Keeping the hair off your shoulders will highlight your shoulders, as well as making your face the center of your wedding day ensemble. For a more modern look, you can also opt for a high pony or low side bun balanced with a fun hair accessory.

Not only is a smaller bridal bouquet easier to carry and often more affordable, it can also help accentuate your wedding dress to show off your flattering silhouette. Here are just a few small wedding bouquet ideas to help inspire your florals on your special day.

Pomanders

A classic pomander bouquet is a sphere-shaped flower arrangement usually suspended by a ribbon on your wrist. While this is traditionally carried by the flower girl, it also makes a beautiful and unexpected bridal bouquet. You can customize to your liking such as adding colorful jewels, or suspending the flowers with a string of pearls or twine instead.

All Greenery

One of our favorite trends for a small wedding bouquet is an ensemble made up of all greenery. This is an especially great option if you’ll be hosting a backyard or outdoor ceremony, or for a rustic wedding theme. There’s a large selection of greenery you can choose from such as ferns, ivy, eucalyptus and more. 

Single Stem

Keep your wedding bouquet simple and choose only one elegant, large bloom flower such as a single hydrangea to make up your bouquet. While this is more minimal, it can also be far more eye-catching. Don’t forget to keep the stem long so you can easily carry it down the aisle, and finish the look with a satin ribbon tied around the stem. 

Floral Hoop 

Skip the traditional wedding bouquet all together and instead opt for a beautiful floral hoop. This one of a kind bridal accessory is sure to make a statement – and you can decorate the hoop with whatever flowers you’d like. We recommend white roses and a bit of greenery for an added romantic touch, or flowers that match your wedding colors are great as well. 

Dried Flowers

One of the newer trends we’ve seen emerge in recent months is dried flowers in place of a fresh bouquet. You can find them in a variety of textures and colors, which makes for a truly unique small wedding bouquet. Some of our favorite dried flower options include pampas grass, palm leaves and seed pods. And since they’re already dry, you’ll be able to keep your wedding bouquet as a keepsake long after your ceremony!

Creating your dream wedding day look doesn’t end with just your dress. Add a playful twist on tradition with a pop of color for your shoes, whether it’s a bold hue or pretty pastel. Here are a few details to consider when choosing colorful bridal shoes for your wedding day.

Consider Shoe Style

The style of your bridal shoe is very dependent on your dress’ style, along with your own personal style as well. Do you prefer a classic strappy sandal, or something more bold such as a peep toe pump? You can also match the fabric of your dress to your colorful bridal shoes such as silk or satin, or add extra details such as beading, florals or lace designs. 

Compliment Your Color Palette

When choosing a shoe color, it’s important to keep in mind your overall color palette. This includes your wedding colors, decor and style of your dress. Don’t be afraid to add a surprising pop of color with your shoes such as electric blue, a classic red or a metallic jewel tone that pairs with nearly everything. 

Playful Patterns

Another great option to consider when opting for colorful bridal shoes is a fun, playful pattern or print. This is most ideal if your wedding dress style is more simple and won’t clash with the pattern of your shoes. Florals are a popular go-to design, or you can choose a more bold print such as a geometric design, nautical stripes or animal print. We recommend matching some colors of the pattern to your wedding colors as well for a more cohesive bridal look.

Timeline

While you do have more time allotted to shop for bridal shoes, you should aim to have your chosen pair in-hand for your very first alterations appointment. Not only does this allow you to see your full bridal ensemble together with your dress, shoes and any accessories, it’s also important for the tailor to hem your dress accurately with your heel height.

In the end, you should feel comfortable and beautiful in whichever colorful bridal shoes you choose for your special day. Looking for a dress to match your shoes? Book an appointment with us today and shop our selection of more than 600 dress styles! 

One of the first and most important steps in the wedding planning process is choosing your overall color scheme. From old school brights to classic blue, here are some of the trending 2021 wedding colors that you’ll be seeing this year.

Powder Blue

While blue has always been a classic wedding color, light blue is rising in popularity for 2021. This playful color works especially well for spring and summer weddings, but can also be combined with darker hues such as navy for winter and fall ceremonies. We recommend creating a beautiful fresh bouquet with some of your favorite blue flowers such as hydrangeas, sweet peas and delphiniums.

Papaya Orange

This is one of our favorite 2021 wedding colors! Bright and vibrant, papaya orange is a more trendy version of the traditional coral and peach colors you often see at weddings. This accent color looks great with other vibrant hues and earthy tones alike so style it how you see fit with your own wedding decor. 

Champagne 

Not only does champagne make a great celebratory beverage, it’s also a trending wedding color for the new year. Neutral colors have become increasingly popular and are expected to remain for 2021. We recommend champagne colored dresses for your bridesmaids for an elegant touch, along with a neutral color palette for your wedding invitations, florals and more. 

Greenery

From deep forest green to a lighter pistachio, green is one of the most universally flattering colors on all skin tones. We expect to see green hues make a comeback as one of the most prominent 2021 wedding colors. Since your bouquet and florals will already include some greenery, bring a fresh feel to your wedding colors by mixing darker and lighter greens together throughout your decor. 

Old School Brights

The 80’s and 90’s had some of the most fun colors throughout the decades, and they’re here again for 2021. With bold colors such as fuschia, cerulean and cherry red, this color collection makes creating your color palette a piece of cake. We recommend adding a few statement pieces as well such as a customized neon sign with you and your partner’s names or even a brightly colored tux for the groom!  

Book an appointment with us today to find the perfect dress to match your 2021 wedding colors! We also have bridesmaids dresses and tuxedos so you can ensure a coordinated color palette. 

Christmas is one of our favorite times of year, from festive decorations to the holiday music and overall good cheer. It’s also one of the most fun seasons to plan a wedding! Here are a few of our best tips for planning your own Christmas themed wedding to get you in the holiday spirit.

Send Early Invites

Since your wedding will be hosted in the middle of the holiday season, we recommend sending out your invitations as soon as possible. People are generally busier this time of year and the sooner they have your wedding invite, the sooner they can save the date. This is especially helpful for anyone who may be traveling to your wedding so they can make accommodations early as well.

Find a Festive Venue

The holidays are the most festive time of year, which also means beautiful decorations. Whether you’re looking for fresh pine trees, snow, string lights or wreaths, try searching for a venue that has all of the above! Many venues will put up full holiday decorations that fit perfectly with a Christmas themed wedding. It also takes a lot of the stress off of you when it comes to finding and planning decor.

Create a Themed Playlist

What better way to get down on the dance floor than with your favorite Christmas songs? There are almost endless songs to choose from when it comes to creating a holiday playlist for your wedding. Curate your own playlist on an app like Spotify or simply ask your DJ to create their own playlist of Christmas tunes. Some of our upbeat favorites include “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “Run Rudolph Run”.

Choose a Holiday Palette

While the traditional Christmas colors are red and green, don’t be afraid to stray from these and find a holiday palette that fits your wedding. Warm colors look great with holiday decor such as maroon, emerald or navy. Or go more frosty with whites and neutral colors to recreate the look of snow. You can also add in some pops of shine with silver and gold accents, or even velvet.

Have a Dessert Bar

Some of our favorite desserts come out at Christmas, so why not treat your guests to some holiday goodies as well? Set up a bar full of the traditional favorites such as spiced apple cider or hot chocolate. Guests can then add their own garnishes such as peppermint, cinnamon sticks, toffee and marshmallows. You can also make it adult friendly by having some alcoholic beverages on the side.

Give Fun Wedding Favors

Everyone loves going home with a great party favor! Not only do they serve as a fun souvenir of your special day, you can also get creative with your gift bags – especially for a Christmas themed wedding! Add a few seasonal treats such as an ornament with your wedding date or initials, mini bottles of eggnog, jingle bells or a mini wreath they can hang at home. You can also raffle off your centerpieces at the end of the night so a few lucky guests can go home with a beautiful floral arrangement or centerpiece of your choice.

While large gatherings have been put on hold for the time being, many couples have turned to online weddings to say their “I do’s”. Some states have even made virtual wedding ceremonies legal, such as California, New York and Iowa! Here are a few ideas to help you have the best online wedding and still make it special for you and your guests.

Do Some Decorating

Whether you’re having your online wedding in the outdoors, your backyard or even in your living room, don’t forget the decorations! Opt for some fun wedding-themed decor such as banners, ring-shaped balloons and a custom photo background to really set the mood.

Live Stream Your Wedding

With so many couples opting for a virtual wedding, live streaming your ceremony is a great way to include all your friends and family who can’t be there in person. It’s also incredibly easy as long as you have a good internet connection! Choose from a variety of platforms like Zoom or Facebook Live, and anyone who tunes in can watch you say “I do”.

Virtual Reception

An online wedding can still have an amazing after party! Invite your guests to get dressed up for the event and celebrate with your closest family and friends. You can use the same streaming platform as your live stream with all the same fun as an in-person reception. Create a playlist of your favorite tunes, invite guests to make toasts, cut your cake and sip on cocktails together to celebrate your new marriage. 

Take Photos

Your wedding day is something you’ll remember for the rest of your life – don’t forget to take time throughout your ceremony and reception to capture the moment as well! Whether you have a friend, family member or photographer who can take photos (at a safe distance) or if you take them yourselves with self timer, these are memories you’ll cherish forever!

If you can’t decide between a winter or summer wedding, fall is the perfect compromise. Not too hot or too cold, you can also move your ceremony outdoors and enjoy the crisp autumn air. From seasonal flowers to tasty desserts, these are a few of our favorite fall outdoor wedding ideas to make your day extra fun.

Outdoor Seating

Fall is a great time to take advantage of the nice weather and have outdoor seating for both your ceremony and reception. Create your table settings and centerpieces with your wedding colors while adding a few seasonal touches such as gourds, apples and autumn leaves. You can also use hay bales or wooden chairs to add to the outdoor ambiance for your ceremony. 

Plan for Weather

While fall is known for its more temperate weather, it’s also good to have a backup plan in case Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate on your wedding day. Outdoor space heaters and heat lamps can help keep your guests warm in the later hours when the sun goes down, or you can opt for a tent if you feel more comfortable. You can also have some throw blankets on hand as your wedding favors for extra warmth. 

Seasonal Flowers

Use your outdoor venue to its fullest by adding some fresh seasonal flowers to your decor. Dahlias and roses are two of our favorite in-bloom flowers during fall. Add them to your centerpieces or bouquet for some extra special floral arrangements. You can even combine all your favorites together to create a beautiful flower arch for when you say “I do”. 

Dessert Bar

As you get into the cooler hours of the day, a dessert bar is a great way to warm up your guests. A hot chocolate bar is a fun way to keep everyone warm and cozy with all the best garnishes like peppermint and cinnamon. You can even add some hot toddies for the adults. We recommend choosing some easy to grab desserts as well such as a donut tower, cupcakes or mini apple pies as well.
