Starting at an early age, at least for little girls envisioning their wedding day, when we start to think of our wedding, we think of our wedding dress.
Finding your perfect dress will not be an easy task, but I think it should be fun and memorable. The first advice is to start looking for the dress early, the more time you have, the better your chances are on finding a good deal for your dream dress. You can start the search six to nine months ahead; this will give enough time for special order deliveries and any required alterations.
When choosing a dress, you should always remember that the dress is supposed to fit your body shape and match your style and not the other way around. Wedding dresses are made in several designs that fit the vast number of style and size preferences. Collecting photographs of dresses you like will be very handy when you start your shopping trips. You can also look through the websites of your favorite stores before you start the fitting sessions.
Start by trying out the basic common shapes for the dresses, princess, ball gown, sheath and empire waist. A ball gown works out for tall thin brides, with triangle or rectangle figures, slight pear shaped figures and slim hourglass figures.
.
An A-Line Dress works mostly for petit or full-figured brides and ladies with short waists. Slim, tall brides with rectangle or triangle body shapes will be better suited with column or sheath dresses.
Set a budget before you go shopping and try your best to stick to it! Remember when calculating your dress budget to include the veil and headpiece, in addition to the shoes and wedding jewelry. Almost all wedding gowns will need some alterations if they are not custom made, so make sure you have that included in your budgeting, these small expenses will add up to the bottom line.
Most importantly, bring a friend of family member dress shopping with you. When you start to narrow down your choices, please have a good friend with you, someone who is not afraid to give you their honest opinion. Remember they are there to help you. If the critique seems harsh, its only because they want you to look your best on your wedding day.
Remember that it’s your big day, and you want to look great but also feel comfortable. Wedding dress shopping is difficult, just try to have fun, and know that whatever you choose, you will be a gorgeous bride!
