Bridal Gown and Alterations Advice for Brides Who are Expecting

It is estimated that over a quarter of the women who are getting married in the United States are already pregnant, making it no coincidence our team of expert bridal seamstresses at Donna Beth Creations know just what to do for our bride and soon to be mommy! What is more magical than getting married with a little bundle of joy in your tummy? Not much. We are here to guide and support you every step of the way, making sure you feel absolutely radiant and care- free on your big day!

As mentioned in our previous blog, Bridal FAQs, we do our alterations over a period of time, leading all the way up to your wedding day; this practice is more important than ever for our brides who are expecting! We are able to monitor your growth and change all the way up until your wedding day, making updates and/ or bridal gown customization whenever necessary. It is our goal to ensure that you have the best fit possible on your big day and we will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. 

Honestly, almost any wedding dress can be a maternity wedding dress with the right seamstress! If you have not chosen a wedding dress just yet we recommend selecting something that flows and is airy in a romantic lace, chiffon, charmeuse, net, or other light fabric. Many expectant brides feel pretty AND comfortable in a gown fitted to the empire or natural waist. If you are a bride that wants to show that baby bump off in a fitted gown, awesome! You will want to buy your gown a few sizes too large in order to make room for the baby, and we can alter the rest down!

Customization is key for a pregnant bride and can help you get all the style and mobility you need to enjoy your wedding, your  loved ones, and a little music, of course! From adding straps and sleeves to creating adjustable corset backs and jackets, we have you covered!
