Your wedding dress is probably your most
important wedding purchase, and buying it can be quite an experience. Here are
some pointers to consider when choosing your wedding dress: - See more at:
Dress shopping should be an enjoyable
experience
Sadly many brides are disappointed the
first time they go wedding dress shopping. Confusion over appointment times,
sample dresses that don’t fit, unfriendly shop assistants, and dream dresses
that look terrible when they’re tried on, can all combine to produce a shopping
trip from hell.

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time
for shopping, and include fun elements such as lunch and drinks as well as
boutique appointments. If you don’t feel entirely comfortable with the fitters
at the bridal boutique, don’t worry about walking away. A wedding dress is a
considerable investment, so boutiques should make every effort to pamper you
and make you feel special and valued. An experienced fitter should be able to
suggest styles that will suit your body shape, even if you haven’t considered
them before.
Match your dress to your wedding style
Think about the type of wedding you want to
have when you are choosing your dress. Which season have you chosen? Will it be
a formal evening affair, or a casual beach party? Are you getting married in a
garden location, or an historic building? If you are having a themed wedding
you might want to make your dress part of that theme. On the other hand some
brides go out and find the perfect dress and then use that to influence their
wedding theme.
- Know what flatters your body type

There are so many different styles and cuts
of wedding dress that there will always be something to suit your body shape.
The key is to choose something that will accentuate your best features, while
drawing attention away from the parts you aren’t so keen on. Remember these key
points:
• Empire line dresses will
lengthen short legs
• Dropped waist gowns will
compensate for a short waist
• V-necks are very
slimming and perfect for larger busted brides
• Detail and gathered
material at the bust is great for flatter chests
• Horizontal lines widen
the body and vertical lines elongate it
Don’t be tempted to try to hide the parts
of your body you don’t like under layers of structured fabric as this will only
draw attention to them and give an overall chunky impression. Conversely, make
sure your dress isn't too revealing as you don’t want to be self-conscious all
day, and you don’t want your wedding photos to be something you later cringe
over.

Many brides make the mistake of buying a
dress that is too small with the idea of dieting into it. Although you will
undoubtedly lose some weight before the wedding, you are unlikely to lose whole
dress sizes, so it is much better to buy a gown that fits and plan plenty of
fittings close to the big day to make any necessary changes.
Choose your own style over high fashion
If you buy a dress that is ultra trendy you
can guarantee it will date your wedding photos, and it may prevent you looking
as bridal as you would like. Instead of choosing a wedding gown because it is
fashionable, choose one that you love and that makes you look and feel
wonderful. It is better to add your own personal character to a simple dress
using jewellery, shoes and other accessories, than to take a wedding outfit
directly off the wedding catwalks and regret it later.
