5 Wedding Dress Bustle Tips from LI Bridal Attendant, 5-Star Wedding Coordinator and Bustle Pro

When it comes to your wedding day, you want to look and feel your absolute best in your wedding dress. One crucial aspect of ensuring your comfort and mobility is the proper bustle of your gown's train. To help you navigate this important alteration, we’re sharing to make your wedding dress bustle experience a breeze.

Consult with a Professional Seamstress on the style - and allow enough time! 

Seek the guidance of an experienced seamstress or tailor who specializes in wedding dress alterations. They will have the expertise and knowledge to recommend the best bustle style for your specific gown. 

Not all wedding dresses come with a bustle, so you want to make sure you allow enough time to create one. Schedule a consultation well in advance to discuss your options, as some styles may require additional fabric or modifications.

Practice Bustling During Your Fitting

Take advantage of your fittings to have you MOH or mom practice bustling your dress. Your seamstress will demonstrate how to secure the bustle properly, and they can practice doing it under their guidance.

If they feel overwhelmed or confused, call us! 

You can’t bustle your dress yourself, so make sure someone knows how to do it right! 

On your wedding day, you'll have a lot on your plate - and so will your wedding party. Our clients hire us for bridal attendant or day-of coordination services to give them peace of mind that their dress will be bustled to perfection

By following these expert tips, you can ensure a flawless and stress-free wedding dress bustle experience. Remember, proper planning, consultation with a professional, and practice are key to achieving the perfect bustle that allows you to move comfortably and look stunning throughout your special day.

Bustles can break or come undone while dancing - make sure you plan accordingly 

The last thing you want is your bustle to come undone, or half-undone, in the middle of your reception. By that time, your bridal party will be scattered throughout the reception space, probably with a few cocktails in them, and you don’t want to waste precious time figuring out how to have one of them fix or rebustle your dress.

Hiring an experienced bridal attendant like us allows you to feel secure in knowing that even if your bustle breaks or comes undone, we’ve got you covered with the proper tools to fix it and have you back on the dance floor in no time!

Make sure to have the right supplies on hand - or hire an expert.

You don’t want your MOH racing through the venue during cocktail hour, begging safety pins off anyone who might have them. We come armed with our bridal kit, ready for any bustle or wardrobe malfunction for that matter!
