Choosing a Wedding Dress

Amongst all your wedding purchases, your wedding dress is probably the most important. The process of purchasing a wedding dress can be quite an experience for most brides. So, here are some tips to help you choose your wedding dress with ease:

  1. Shopping for your wedding dress should be a happy and enjoyable experience; however, we find many brides getting disappointed when they go shopping for their wedding dress for the first time due to many reasons. Thus, ensure to add fun elements like lunch and drinks with friends while you allow yourself plenty of time for shopping as well. Do not regret walking away from a wedding dress boutique if they do not treat you well. After all a wedding dress is a considerable investment.
  2. Always remember to match your wedding dress to your wedding style, and other factors like the season in which you are being wed, whether the party is formal or casual, and many other factors depending on the theme. However, you can also do it the other way around by going out and getting a wedding dress of your choice and then basing your wedding theme according to it.
  3. There are different styles of wedding dresses for different types of body shapes. Invest in something that will highlight your best features, and draw attention away from the parts of your body that you are not keen about. If you have short legs then an empire line dress will make you look tall, dropped waist gowns will add to a short waist, V-necks can create a slimming effect and are perfect for large busted brides while women with flatter chests can opt for detail, and gathered materials on the chest, and horizontal lines can be used to widen the body while vertical lines can elongate it.

  4. Wedding dresses are always in fashion, so do not chase a fashion trend over your own style. As we said earlier, your wedding dress is an investment so if you buy a wedding dress that is ultra trendy then it will actually prevent you from looking as bridal as you would like to and it will also mark a date on your wedding photos. Hence, it is always better to choose a wedding dress that you love and that makes you look and feel wonder.
