A Wedding Day of Coordinator Bustles the Dress

Bustling A Wedding Dress

Bustling a wedding dress may sound a bit outdated but most wedding dresses still have a train needing to be bustled. In actuality, it is the go-to move for keeping those beautiful dresses in top shape throughout a reception. Bustling helps the bride move around a bit easier while she is dancing and greeting her guests. But, do those buttons, loops and bows frighten you? Not if you are a Wedding Day of Coordinator. It is one of the many tasks we take very seriously. We know that you don’t want to stand around and wait for someone to figure out how it is done. A prepared Wedding Day of Coordinator has done this many time and although each time is different, the concept is the same. The longest part of the train and finds the loop around the upper back area and gets attached first. Underneath are strings that get attached to each other creating the bustle. Here is a trade secret. Ask the seamstress to number the strings that go together, that way you don’t have to guess which ones go with which. As a Wedding Day of Coordinator this is always something I discuss in our pre-planning meeting and if the dress might be a little complicated, I take the time to call the seamstress to discuss and get a feel for its complexity. But the last thing you want is to be anxious to get to the party and be standing around having everyone trying to figure out how to bustle your dress. This is just one of the many reasons to hire a Wedding Day of Coordinator.
