<\/figure>\n\nOne of the businesses offering a discount is the Zagreb-based bridal salon Madona, which offers 15% off wedding dress rentals and all accompanying items; its owner, Patricia Maros\u2014a young entrepreneur of just 24\u2014shared answers to questions posed by real brides.<\/p>\n\n
1. What services are available at your salon? Do you offer rentals and purchases, and what do these include?<\/h3>\n\n
The Madona bridal salon offers services for renting, purchasing, and having wedding dresses custom-made. The rental price includes alterations (such as shortening, taking in, or adding sleeves or straps), dry cleaning before and after the wedding, and all necessary bridal accessories (veil, pashmina, baskets for boutonnieres, a dress for a flower girl, a garter, etc.). Additionally, for brides concerned about the dress having been worn or damaged prior to their big day, there is a “first-wear” rental option; this also includes everything in the price, but a brand-new dress is ordered specifically in the bride’s size. <\/p>\n\n Of course, it depends on the individual, but in my personal opinion, six months before the wedding is plenty of time to visit the salons you\u2019re interested in\u2014because let\u2019s be honest, we all browse Instagram and already have a rough idea of \u200b\u200bwhere we\u2019d like to go. So, if your wedding is in June, wedding fairs usually take place in January, and you can see what each salon has to offer right there. <\/p>\n\n “Well, my advice would certainly be to include your parents, your maid of honor, and your sister, if you have one. Anything beyond that is too much, in my opinion\u2014simply because every girl has her own idea of \u200b\u200bwhat looks good, and the people closest to you are always the most honest.” <\/p>\n\n “We have three classic wedding dress silhouettes: mermaid, princess, and A-line. Now, there are variations on these themes\u2014fuller princess styles and slimmer A-lines\u2014which are currently very popular and, to me personally, among the most beautiful cuts.” <\/p>\n\n My advice to them is to try on all the different cuts at their first fitting\u2014even the ones they think they would never choose. Wedding dresses aren’t like everyday or evening wear\u2014you don’t wear them every day\u2014so you have to try them on and decide for yourself what feels comfortable; after all, comfort is what matters most. <\/p>\n\n “Girls usually arrive with either a picture or a description of what they\u2019d like, but I always tell them to keep an open mind\u2014even when visiting other salons. If a stylist recommends trying something, it\u2019s because they might not have considered it themselves, whereas we can tell just by looking at their body type whether a particular style would suit them.”<\/p>\n\n “We don\u2019t charge for fittings\u2014we simply never implemented that policy\u2014though I understand why some places do. Brides-to-be often arrive for fittings wearing full makeup, coming straight from work or similar situations; this can stain the wedding dresses, requiring dry cleaning, which comes at a cost. So, here\u2019s a quick tip for brides: please come to your fitting without makeup. As for the timing, they have about 60 minutes\u2014though, of course, it sometimes takes longer\u2014to try on everything they wish.” <\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.isaidyees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_3133-820x1024.jpg\")
