1. Shop Around: You probably already have a certain style of dress in mind, and that’s great, but you should try to keep an open mind once you’re in the store. Some dresses don’t look very impressive on the hanger, but they’re stunning on the body. For this reason, it’s important to be receptive to your salesperson’s recommendations and try on as many dresses as possible. You may be surprised which dress you fall in love with!
2. Location, Location: Where you’re hosting your big day will definitely help you narrow down your selection of dresses. You’ll want to choose a dress that complements your celebration setting; a voluminous ball-gown for a grand church wedding, for instance, or a flirty cocktail length dress for a quirky brunch party. Also, be mindful of fabric choices. You don’t want to be wearing a heavy satin gown on the beach in Jamaica!
3. Dollars and Sense: Setting a budget from the get go will save a lot of heartbreak. After all, you don’t want to fall in love with a dress that is way out of your price range. Be realistic. Why try on a Vera Wang gown if it’s never going to happen? That being said, if you do have your eye on a designer dress, it’s probably possible to find a similar style in your budgeted price range.
4. Bridal Body: Something else to consider when shopping for your gown is your body shape. Obviously, you want to look your best for the main event, and a dress that flatters your form is of critical importance. The right dress will highlight your favourite parts while concealing trouble spots. Love your arms? Show them off in a strapless number. Not so fond of your tummy? Definitely don’t choose a slinky bias-cut gown.Truly You: Last but no least, select a gown that expresses your personality. Nowadays, almost anything goes in a mini-dress to suits and brightly coloured ensembles, so feel free to experiment. If you favour a traditional dress, but still want pizzazz, try some fun-loving accessories. Items like a bold necklace or ruby shoes will definitely show off your personal style.
