Five Tips For Choosing Your Wedding Dress
08:00:00, by Petite Style Beauty
Choosing your wedding gown is an
experience to treasure.
Start looking for designs you love as soon as
you get engaged so that by the time shopping day arrives you will
have a good idea of which wedding dresses will make your heart beat
faster.
The huge choice of styles, fit and
color available to a modern bride may still be overwhelming, though.
Keep these five tips in mind as you begin the journey to find your
perfect dress.
Make it a reflection of who you are
Don't be tempted by designer wedding dresses just because the name makes you think
of glamor and luxury.
Above all else, a bride needs to wear a dress
that reflects her personality, suits her shape and makes her feel
beautiful.
Listen to advice but don't necessarily follow it
Think carefully about the people you
take with you to try on wedding dresses.
Your mom, Nana, friend,
Mother-in-Law and next door neighbour may all feel entitled to an
input but in the end, it's YOUR dress.
Listen to them kindly and take
some heed but go with heart and gut when you make the final pick.
You could even go alone or with your
best friend to have a mooch before the actual appointment day.
Discuss with the shop staff the dresses you want to try on so they
are ready and waiting for you.
Have a clear idea of what you
definitely don't want and be prepared to stand up for your decision when you really and truly fall in love with
a dress.
When you know, you know....no matter what Aunt Mildred says!
Don't be restricted to the obvious
shops
Every town has the 'wedding dress shops' that every bride in the area MUST look in.
It may be
tradition, it's probably 'just what you do' but don't you want your
dress search to be a bit wider than three shops on the high street?
Think quirky! Try these for starters:
vintage shops, agencies who hire out designer wedding dresses, high street shops like Monsoon,
outlets for designer dresses but be careful with buying from a
website but you should still look for inspiration, a bespoke dress
from a local dressmaker.
Keep an open mind
There's a style in your head that you
love. There are countless versions of it pinned to your Pinterest.
You just KNOW. Try those dresses on, you know what you love, of
course you do.
But if there is a dress that the shop assistant
suggests but which looks weird on the hanger you should try it
anyway.
It may just be a creation of great beauty that needs exactly
your body shape in it to give it life.
Think about how it feels to move in
the dress
But can you move in it? There is no point, none at all, in
choosing from designer wedding dresses
that all either prevent you from breathing, sitting down or even
walking.
Your wedding dress should make you feel like a princess not
like crying from discomfort.

High street shops like Monsoon are great for wedding dresses. Some excellent tips here, I think its so important to make it a reflection of who you are.
RispondiEliminaThis reminds me when I had to choose my wedding gown. Excellent tips, and so very true. Your family might give some good advice but at the end it is the bride to be who will decide which gown is the best for her.
RispondiEliminaI remember trying on my wedding dress (we never got married in the end, thank goodness!) and it was really flattering and pretty but having seen it just on the hanger I wouldn't have looked twice at it. Just goes to show that you should try things on even if you don't always like the look of them
RispondiEliminaThese are all so true! Wondeful post :-) brought up so many memories from my own dress choosing:-)
RispondiEliminaThis is so beautiful. Must be such a challange to pick the right dress
RispondiEliminaGreat tips. Getting married is so cool and the perfect dress is extremely important! xo
RispondiEliminaI know it is hard. I made my own wedding dress because I couldn't find any that suit my taste :p
RispondiEliminaI agree to keep an open mind. I think brides shouldn't get too stressed over perfection. I think people are obsessed with spending slot of money, a lot of money doesn't mean much. I always say go for what you think espically the dress because afterall it's your day nobody elses
