Cheryl Burke Wears Val Stefani

Just when you thought celebrity style was out of reach...
We just got a report that Cheryl Burke of Dancing With The Stars wore a sparkling dress by one of our favorite labels, Val Stefani. We love Val Stefani and everything else that comes from the Moonlight design house. This dress is from their Fall 2012 collection, but how fabulous would it be right now for your bachelorette party? Or can you imagine how spectacular you'd look wearing this to prom? Call us to check availability on this dress or any other fab style from Val Stefani and Moonlight Bridal.

Wedding Gown Shopping Timeline

We always knowingly smile when brides tell us that their weddings are "a long way off," usually meaning it's 12 months or more. Of course, we know, it seems like a long time, but wedding planning has a way of making time speed up and your wedding day arrives before you know it!

We also know that the dress shopping process takes time - and the sooner you start, the better off you'll be. To help you get on the same page that we are, here's a quick timeline of when things ought to happen in your wedding planning process:

12 months or more prior to your wedding date: Start looking at bridal magazines and at designer websites to get gown inspiration. Cut out or save your favorite dresses (by the way, Pinterest is a great site for doing this).

8 - 12 months prior: Select and order your gown. It usually takes four to six months for a gown to arrive in our boutique. Additionally, you'll need time for alterations.

2 - 4 months prior: Begin your alterations. At Suzanne's Bridal Boutique we usually have 3 to 4 alterations sessions with our bride. During your final fitting don't forget to schedule a day pick up your dress.

A couple of days prior: Pick up your freshly pressed dress. Our consultants will tell you how to store and care for your gown until you get ready to wear it down the aisle.
