How to Purchase Wedding Dress in Suzhou

As today I'm still sort of celebrating birthday week (mine and my hub's b-days) I have an awesome guest post for you! I Hope you'll find it informative and interesting!

As the largest wedding dress export country, China attracts thousands of overseas buyers to purchase wedding dress and peripheral products here. For some buyers who are familiar with Chinese wedding dress market, Suzhou must be the place to go. Importing wedding dress from China usually needs to have a field visit in two places, Guangzhou and Suzhou. Guangzhou has larger output than Suzhou. But for some medium-sized and small enterprises, Guangzhou is not the ideal choice. There are two reasons, one is the limitation of the minimum quantity and the other is the making craft. Suzhou’s wedding market mainly focus in two places: Huqiu Wedding Dress Street and Huqiu Bridal City. Though they are all located in Huqiu, they have different target. If you plan to wholesale wedding dresses in Suzhou, China，then you’d better keep the following tips in mind. Huqiu Wedding Dress Street is the oldest wedding dress base. There are more than six hundred wedding dress shops for you to choose the gowns, accessories and so on. The styles and quantity is far beyond any other places. If you wish to have more choices, then it can basically meet your need. Many family workshop style wedding dress factories gather around Huqiu Wedding Dress Street. Their scale is not large, and environment is relatively bad. While some strong manufacturers, such as Suzhou Jusere Wedding & Evening Dress Co., LTD, are located at Pingjiang district which is very close to Huqiu Wedding Dress Street. The distance is less than 20 minutes' drive. But the environment and scale far exceed the small factories. For the buyers who come here for the first time, it is difficult to know the exact location of the factories.

Notes in Huqiu Wedding Dress Street: (Opening hours: 8：00-18：00)

• There are various wedding dress shops and styles. If you want to visit all shops, one day is not enough. So you’d better search some famous shops and visit them purposefully. 
• You can hardly find a formal restaurant here. The snacks of stands nearby are unsanitary. So you’d better take along some high-calorie food, such as chocolate. 
• Generally speaking, picture taking is prohibited, no matter you are bride-to-be or buyer. If you want to take pictures, you have to communicate with them and try to get their approval in advance. 
• The price can be varied widely for difference wedding dresses, especially between the brand shops and small shops around. But the material and making craft is different either. You can choose products according to your own condition. 
• Taking a taxi from Suzhou station to Huqiu Street will cost about 10 minutes. It may cost about half an hour from Suzhou north station. 

Huqiu Bridal City began to put into use in 2013. There are more than 300 shops now. Many of them are powerful companies. If you have requirements on power and condition of the cooperation factory, you can come here first to find your cooperative partner.

Notes in Huqiu Bridal City: (Opening hours: 9：00-18：00)

• Huqiu Bridal City is big too. But you can find many restaurants here. So you need not worry about your meals. But there are few western restaurants here. If you cannot stomach Chinese food, you’d better prepare something to eat. 
• The wedding dress price of Huqiu Bridal City is relatively high. You’d better retain a translator later on in the negotiation process. 
• The opening time is relatively late. Do not go to there too early, for many shops open at 9:00. 

It will take a long time on observations and negotiations, no matter you are in Huqiu Wedding Dress Street or Huqiu Bridal City. In order to achieve multiplier results, you’d better have local tour guides or partners accompanied. Jusere Wedding & Evening Dress Co., LTD., one of the powerful wedding dress companies of Suzhou, offers customers special pick-up and can help customers to make arrangements( including arrange accommodation, catering and so on).
