How to Choose Your Wedding Dress

Wedding Dress Styles. For many brides, the dress is one of the most important aspects of the big day. Whether you’ve dreamed of a fairytale princess gown since you were a little girl, or you’ve just recently spotted something high fashion. There’s no denying the fact that your beautiful gown will be a huge part of your wedding. Finding the dress of your dreams is no mean feat, however. Whilst some brides stumble upon the perfect dress in the first store they walk into, many others spend months searching. If you’re about to start your dress search, Ive got a few tips to help you on your way.

Stay True to Your Style

When it comes to wedding dresses there are a huge range of styles. There are elaborate ball gowns, simple understated a-line dresses, crystal-embellished glitzy little numbers and so much in between. Some brides are tempted to go for something which they would never normally wear, but do this and you risk having last minute regrets or feeling a little uncomfortable on your big day. It’s much better to opt for something which is more you, by staying true to your own style and choosing the dress that best fits with what you’d normally choose.

Be Open Minded

No doubt you’ll have been thinking about your dress since your dearly beloved first put the engagement ring on your finger, but having a set idea of what you want can often lead to disappointment. Try to be open minded when trying on dresses. Explore different styles and options to see how different gowns make you feel. We often hear of brides choosing something they’d never imagined wearing, and completely disregarding what they were initially looking for once they find that special dress.

Think About Your Day

No matter how important the dress is to you, it’s crucial that you also think about the kind of wedding that you have planned. For example, beach weddings require a completely different type of dress to formal indoor winter weddings. Think about where you’re celebrating and what time of year it will be. If you’ve got a big party planned you’ll want to make sure you can move freely in your dress when you hit the dance floor later on. Make sure your dress suits your wedding day and you’ll feel far more comfortable and happy wearing it. Some brides opt for two dresses to get around this, choosing a more formal dress for the ceremony and a slightly more relaxed look for the evening celebrations.

Don’t Forget The Budget

It’s easy to get carried away when you see the dress of your dreams. If you know you can’t afford the dress you’ve got your eye on, it’s a better idea not to try it on in the first place. If you do try on dresses that are out of your price range, just know you’re going to become infatuated with something you can’t have. This will make any other dresses you try on afterwards feel a little disappointing. It will also likely take a fun out of the shopping experience.

Try to stick to dresses and stores which fit with your budget, and let your bridal advisor know what your budget is as soon as you arrive, so he or she will know which dresses to show you, and which ones to leave on the rails. Trust us, this could save you a lot of heartache!

Enjoy the Experience

Often brides go into wedding dress shopping with sky-high expectations and a concrete idea of what they’re looking for. So, it’s easy to see how the whole experience can soon turn sour as disappointment looms. We strongly recommend that you make the most of your wedding dress shopping experience, making a day out out of each shopping trip and inviting key members of your bridal party to help you find the dream dress. It’s not every day that you’ll find your perfect wedding dress, and when you do you’ll be elated. But until then, there’s so much fun to be had looking! Enjoy it, soak it up and make the most of your pre-wedding excitement.

I hope these tips help you in your quest to find the perfect dress for your big day. Remember, no matter which dress you choose, you’re guaranteed to steal the show when you walk down that aisle. Happy dress hunting!
