Finding the perfect dress can be tricky if you don't go into
the process with a little help. Lucky for you, I am here offering my top
wedding dress tips for finding the gown of your dreams!
Take a
deep breath
There is a lot of pressure
during the wedding planning process and it seems that the gown is the epicenter
of it all. Stepping into that gorgeous gown means this wedding thing is 100
percent real. So before you start operation Find a Perfect Wedding Dress, take
a deep breath and try to go into the process calm as a cucumber. Trust us --
you'll find the one. And it will be perfect.
Do your
homework, but stay open-minded
Scour the web and magazines for wedding
dresses you think might be your cup of tea, but remember that just because they
look gorgeous on someone else doesn't mean you are going to fall head over
heels in love when you try one on. So study up on the styles you like (sleeves
or no sleeves, full or slim-fitting), but realize it might all change when you
try on the wedding dress you decide to walk down the aisle in. Being
open-minded is key to finding "the one."
Hone in
on your wedding style
Are you a seaside bride getting
married in the sand? A rustic chic bride with a barn reception? Are you
planning a black-tie city soiree? A modern bride getting married in an art
gallery? These wedding styles are typically a good guide to what your overall
style is, so envision how you want to look in your dream wedding surroundings,
and let that help you decide on which wedding gown complements the vision of
your dream day.
Know
your budget
The fabulous thing about
wedding dresses nowadays is that there are pick-your-jaw-off-the-floor gorgeous
gowns at every price range. No lie. So let your price range be known and stick to
it. Save your extra pennies for a fabulous pair of shoes!
Choose
a wedding dress that is 100 percent you
The most important tip of all
the "find your perfect dress" tips is find a dress you can't wait to
twirl in. One that makes you stand a little taller, one that makes your heart
flutter and one that makes you feel like a bride. There are no rules. Even if
the look on your mom's or best friend's face isn't as smitten, when you find
that dress... you'll know.
Make an
appointment
Many boutiques do allow for
walk-ins but the gown hunt will be so much more pleasurable if you take the
time to make an appointment, you show up on time and you’re gracious to your
consultant who will be lugging very heavy dresses back and forth. By booking
that appointment, you'll guarantee that you have one person on staff giving you
one-on-one attention and that you'll get the best possible service that they
can give.
