Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life. Like any bride, you probably want everything about your wedding to be perfect—from the ceremony right down to the invitations. One of the most important things you have to take care of is your dress. You want to look your best, but you also have to be comfortable. A wedding is a whole day affair, after all—and you wouldn’t want to be in a body-constricting dress for 12 hours.
The modern bride is lucky to have a lot of options. Back in the day, most brides needed to have their dresses sewn. Now, there are many talented designers who create wonderful off-the-rack or special order bridal gowns to make your special day extra memorable. To make things easier, there are Bay Area bridal shops that have online stores you can check out. This way, you can scope out their products as well as the designers they carry before visiting the physical shop.
Some of the most popular bridal gown designers and brands include Stella York, Mikaella bridal, Marisa bridal Love Marley, Justin Alexander, Allure Bridal, Pronovia, Pronovia Atelier Wtoo, Willowby, Marina Liana and Essense of Australia. The best bridal shops are those that offer a wide range choose from. They should have many designs available in varying price ranges to suit any bride.
One of the problems with seeing a wedding gown on a model is it always looks great—but once the dress is on you, the fit may be different. Don’t worry—the best bridal shops have in-house tailors that can alter the dress so it will hug you perfectly. There are also some Bay Area bridal stores that carry excellent pieces of accessories that are sure to complement your look. Hit two birds with one stone and visit a bridal shop that also carries dresses for your mother and mother-in-law as well as your bridesmaids.

Lissa helped me find the most perfect dress. She gathered all the feedback from previous dresses I tried on and managed to find the one that ticked all my boxes. The dress is comfortable, stretchy, vibrant, and photographs so well. I was made to feel so special and confident in preparation
