Choosing Your Wedding Dress

Choosing Your Wedding Dress

Choosing your wedding dress must be one of the biggest decisions you will make, apart from deciding to get married of course! This decision definitely cannot be taken lightly and does need quite a lot of thought. Here are a few tips on choosing your wedding dress:

Cost

With so many options available with pricing, it’s important to look at all of your options before making that big decision. While your dress is very (VERY!) important, maybe skimping a little off your dress budget would allow for a honeymoon upgrade? However, if you think you’ve made a mistake on your dress purchase, you may be able to sell it on for near to what it was bought for originally.

Comfort

It can be easy to promise yourself that you will get to that ‘wedding weight’ before your big day. Just make sure that you have a plan and stick to it! There is no reason to make yourself miserable with a diet for the sake of a dress. As well as this, dresses are often made with alterations in mind, so one dress size up or down can be accounted for.

Cut

Everyone has a story like this. You invited some people to go dress shopping with you and they have convinced you to go for a cut that isn’t quite you. Whether the person is a sales assistant, your mother or a friend who thinks you look ‘lovely’ in strapless, if it doesn’t make you feel like a movie star on the red carpet Oscar day, it’s not for you!
