Getting married in Belgium
Wedding outfits: fittings, orders and alterations
Plan outfits together with shoes, accessories and alterations. The label price is not always the final bill.
Elian Van Cutsem, founder of Ringske
Budget for the whole outfit
Ask whether alterations, veil or tie, underwear, shoes, cleaning and garment bags are included. For rentals, compare the return date, deposit and damage terms too.
Schedule fittings
Ask the shop for a realistic order, delivery and final-fitting timeline. Bring the shoes and underwear you will wear. Test sitting, walking and dancing, not just standing before a mirror.
Budget for the complete outfit
Include underwear, shoes, veil or tie, accessories, alterations, transport and any cleaning or rental deposit. For rentals, check the return deadline and charges for damage or a late return. Ask the shop to identify the included alterations and those charged separately.
Final fitting and wedding day
Bring your chosen shoes and underwear to the final fitting. Try sitting, walking, stairs and dancing. Ask how to transport, hang and, if needed, steam the outfit. Arrange help with fastenings or a train and prepare a small repair kit. Assign collection or return tasks to someone available after the party.
