At Bauman's, our wedding consultations are designed to help you find the perfect attire with ease. Here’s a quick guide to what you can expect during your consultation: 1. Schedule Early – About 9 Months Before Your Wedding We recommend booking your wedding consultation around nine months before your big day. This early timing allows us to special order the right suits and make sure everything is in stock. By starting early, we also have plenty of time for any alterations, ensuring there’s no last-minute stress. 2. Consultation Length – Expect About an Hour Your consultation will last about an hour. This gives us time to discuss all your options, answer questions, and help you make decisions without rushing. We want you to feel confident and happy with your choices, whether it's the groom’s suit or the attire for the entire bridal party. 3. Color Consultation – Perfecting the Look We’ll talk about everything related to color, from seasonal trends to matching the groomsmen’s ties with the bridesmaids’ dresses. We’re here to help you find a cohesive color scheme that complements your wedding vision. Whether you’re going for classic, bold, or seasonal tones, we’ll guide you through it.
