Dream Wedding Dress



It's one of the most exciting decisions you'll make, but it's also one of the most stressful. If princess sheaths confuse you and taffeta still sounds like something that belongs on the dessert table, here's a quick guide to making sense of the madness and choosing an excellent wedding gown.

Know Your Budget

Before you do anything else, figure out exactly how much you can spend on your dream dress. Set yourself two limits: One that fits within your regular price range, and then another slightly higher as your absolute maximum splurge limit.

Pick A Style

Classic or contemporary? Edgy or elegant? Even if you haven't made up your mind about specific fabrics and cuts, your search will go much easier if you have some idea of the style you'd like to wear down the aisle.

Match The Venue

Some dresses just aren't appropriate for church, so if you plan on a traditional ceremony, reconsider that sexy bridal gown with the plunging neckline. On the other hand, if you're thinking about exchanging your vows on a romantic beach, you can go ahead and eliminate anything with a long train.

Think About The Season

There are entire ranges of wedding dresses designed for different seasons. Winter gowns, for example, tend to be made of thicker fabrics with heavier weights, while summer styles are lighter and more contemporary, usually cut above the knee. Learn more by clicking here and exploring your options.

Book Early

If you need a gown fitted, tailored or altered, make sure you give the shop plenty of notice. You're only one of the many brides clamoring for their seamstresses' attention, so it could be weeks or even months until they have an open spot available for you.

Know The Lingo

Do you know the difference between organdy and organza? How about a basque waist and an empire bodice? It's important that you're able to fully understand all the flowery descriptions the salesperson is throwing around; otherwise you may wind up committing to something you don't actually like. 

Plan Around Your Accessories

If you already know you'll be wearing a specific veil, there's no sense trying on dresses without it. You can't make any final decisions without seeing the entire ensemble together. The same goes for special jewelry, particular shoes or family heirloom pieces: Bring them all to the boutique so you'll have a full picture of what you'll look like on the big day.
