There are lots of fabulous wedding dresses to choose from. But instead of making it easy, having more options makes it impossible to pick the right dress. Now you no longer have to battle with the difficult choice. Do a little planning to find the ideal silhouette that glamorizes your figure.
The tips you will read here are what every married couple regrets not knowing beforehand. If you are eagerly waiting to tie the knot and the big day is near, these five hacks here will definitely make your dress hunt easy – not to forget more fun.
- Incorporate Your Personal Style
It’s effortless to get caught in the fashion trend. But that’s the biggest mistake you can make with your wedding dress. While details are important, make sure the rows of sequenced pearls and the perfectly-placed ruffle is a style that connects with you and flatters your body.
Remember, it is these little details that differentiate between a right wedding dress and a gorgeous one. Figure out your own personal style and set yourself for a silhouette that works for you.
Be particular about the top of your dress. Regardless of the type of gown you choose, it’s the top part that remains in the limelight. This is what will be visible in most pictures too. So be particular about the style you choose.
- Do Try A Few Wedding Dresses before Finalizing One
You can’t judge a dress without wearing it first. If something catches your attention even the slightest bit, make sure you try it out to see how it looks on you. Even the prettiest dress on display could look like a disaster once you wear it and the plainest one can flatter you the most.
Here’s the golden rule you need to remember – resist judging without wearing. The idea is to pick a few ‘potential’ dresses and make sure you decide the final pick after actually ‘putting it’ on your own body. This means that a bride will undoubtedly (and should definitely) try on many dresses she needs to.
According to celebrity wedding stylists, it is okay if a woman takes as much time looking for the perfect gown as she did picking the husband.
- But Don’t Try Too Many Dresses Unnecessarily
No, you don’t have to confuse yourself. What this means is that you should not force yourself to try on something if you don’t feel the need. While it’s always a great idea to try a few dresses before picking the right one, it is not necessary to make this a mark if you know what you want.
If you don’t feel like you should try out twenty different dresses, then don’t. As mentioned earlier, too many choices can also confuse you. Follow your gut here. Check out a few places and pick a few dresses and decide which ones you would want to try. If the boutique allows, take a picture of each so you can go back home and think before placing your final order.
- Limit Your Entourage
It’s quite tempting to ask your family and your friends to tag along and help you shop for your wedding dress. Most women believe it makes the job of picking the perfect wedding dress easier. In reality, the more people you take with you, the higher chance you will be super confused and overwhelmed.
That’s right. Don’t follow what you see on TV. You don’t need a huge entourage to accompany you to make this critical fashion purchase of your life. Simply put, ignore the guilty pressure of pleasing everyone.
When you set your appointment, make sure you have three people at the most with you. It could be someone from your family or your friends. If you have a stylist friend, you might want to take them along. After all, you need good, valuable advice.
Taking too many people apparently means a clash of coordination, thoughts, and opinions. It’s a total failure. If you think you can do this alone – go for it. It is not only entirely reasonable to shop for your wedding dress alone, but it is also quite stress-free.
On the other hand, if you are taking someone with you, make sure they have your best interest in mind, they are aware of your choice, and are honest with their opinion.
Ask your best girls – your bridesmaids – to tag along. You can later thank them for their help with a bridesmaid cosmetic bag or any other custom gift.
- Don’t Forget the Accessories
It’s very common for brides to ignore the wedding day accessories. Picking the right dress can be so overwhelming sometimes, that details as necessary as the right accessories are often missed out. This is what you need to focus on.
Every bride dreams to look a certain way on her big day. Close your eyes and picture yourself wearing your dream gown. Now pay attention to your jewelry. What are you wearing in your ears and in your neck? Do you have a tiara or a hair accessory attached to your veil? Are you wearing a bracelet? What color is it? What stones are you wearing?
These little details can make all the difference in how you will pick your dress. You have an idea, and in your head, you already know what you want. The only thing left is to search for it. You can even set an appointment with your designers and explain to them what you are looking for. Chances are, you will find something similar already in their collection.
When you have your dream gown in front of you, don’t forget to try it on. Remember, it’s only the dress that flatters your body will look gorgeous on you. So put it on and check until you are fully satisfied.
Final Word
These tips are easy to follow but easier to forget. So set them as a reminder and choose the best wedding dress without stress. Ultimately, pick something that you are happy wearing. If you feel fabulous in it, it’s the perfect dress.
