Finding Your Perfect Wedding Gown
If you’re like most women, chances are, you’ve fantasized just as much, if not more, about your wedding dress than you’ve fantasized about the man you will be marrying. It’s the day when everyone focuses on the bride, when you are the most beautiful girl in the world, and when your fiancé falls in love with you all over again. The dress you wear for this occasion has to be the perfect gown. The wedding dress, clearly, is the most important part of the wedding for just about every girl. However, with all of the wedding gowns out there to choose from, the process of finding the one for you is not that easy.
Wedding Dress Style Defines The Bride
The biggest question that goes through every bride’s head is “What kind of wedding dress should I get?” There are so many styles of wedding gowns to choose from: simple and straight to full and frilly, white and elegant to black and bold. How do you know which style of wedding dress is the best for you? Keep in mind that looking through bridal gown magazines or wedding dress books are a great way to pick out styles that catch your eye. Make sure you don't limit yourself to picking out, or trying on only one style of wedding dress. Setting your heart on one particular style of wedding gown will only set you up for a lot of frustration and will be a waste of time.
The choices are wide and varied and it pays to spend some time thinking about what will be a costly and important investment. So, before you commit to any certain wedding dress, try on as many as you can. This will assure the gown you select is the perfect wedding dress for you. Every girl, to an extent, knows what looks good, and more importantly, feels good on her body. Your wedding day should be beautiful and comfortable; so should your wedding dress. You don’t want to spend the day in a wedding gown that you cannot breathe or walk in. Before you determine what size of wedding dress you need, practice giving hugs and bending your knees in the dress. You will be giving lots of hugs on your wedding day, and you don’t want it to rip.
When looking for your wedding dress try on all styles, even styles you don’t like. Yes, even try styles your mother picks out. The average bride tries on over 20 dresses before she finds “the one”. Some dresses that seem hideous on the hanger look absolutely gorgeous on your body. You will, probably, have an idea of what you want even before you officially go wedding dress shopping. Just, be aware that different styles of wedding gowns fit some women better than others. Keep in mind, you will need to practice walking in any wedding dress that might be a possibility. Walking in your wedding dress should be easy, if not effortless. When you are walking down the aisle, you will be so fixated on your future husband’s eyes that you won’t even thinking about the hem of your dress. Make sure the hem length will not cause you to trip over your wedding gown as you go up to the alter.
When & How To Shop For A Wedding Dress
When shopping for your wedding dress, it is a good idea to have your mother or a friend go along with you. So, they can let you know which wedding dresses look the best on you. If you find a couple of gown prospects wait a week or two, after you have had time to think about each one and try them on again, before making a decision. This is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Don’t be quick to make a hasty decision when choosing the wedding dress for your special day. Keep in mind, it is never too early in your engagement to begin the search for your wedding gown. In fact, begin the search as soon as you become engaged. This is a wise move, giving you plenty of time to decide and choose among the different styles of wedding dresses available. Every bride’s wedding dress shopping experience is different. However, it doesn’t have to be exhausting or horrendous. This is a joyous and exciting time in your life.
