Say OK to the Dress

You’ve gathered your mother, your bridesmaids and your favorite friends to go with you to try on wedding dresses.  You’ve got the photos from the magazines and yet……

THE dress isn’t screaming out to you.  It’s OK, really.  Contrary to what you may have heard, not necessarily everyone has that “aha” moment when trying on wedding dresses.  It happens – or doesn’t happen in this case.  It’s all normal and it’s all OK.

As a Bride, most importantly, you need to feel special.  First and foremost, this entire wedding planning process is about YOU.  Comments and feedback are fine, but the decision-making on a wedding dress is yours.  Focusing on just one element – the color, the fabric, the style – will make your day a success!

More on finding a dress you like in upcoming posts.

Wedding Dress Shopping – Little Steps

If you find looking for the perfect wedding dress a bit challenging, here’s a radical thought – select a dress that you like! Maybe, just maybe, that “aha” moment isn’t happening for you.

The season, the time of day, the formality of your wedding will all play a part as you consider various wedding dresses. Take it slow and take a breath!

Do you feel like a Bride in a certain style? What shade of white, ivory or cream looks good with your skin tone? What dress shapes complement your figure? How will the dress look in photos?

It is all right to leave the dress salon if it’s not coming together for you. If you’re starting to feel stressed, leave; that’s better than forcing a decision.  You can always come back another day or visit another store.

Often working with a wedding professional can be a tremendous help. She’ll know your desires, your budget and will communicate your preference with the wedding dress salon staff.  When you arrive, selections will be waiting for you!  Aha!

Wedding Dress Ideas

Your wedding dress.  THE dress!  Color, style, budget?  Where to begin?

It’s all about you, so be sure to reflect your personal style when looking for your wedding dress. The perfect dress is waiting for you, whether a simple sheath or layers of lace.

Bridal salons have styles to highlight every body type and every Bride’s preference. Keep in mind, always, what style you find the most comfortable and the most flattering.

Consider the overall mood of your wedding, will it be formal or more casual? Go glam for an all-out formal affair, if that’s your style. Or look to texture and detail on your dream dress.

Ever think that white is just white? Well, yes and no. Cream, ivory, ecru, champagne are all varying shades that look stunning with your skin tone.  Try them all and soon one will stand out as your best.

Budget is important as well. With a price point in mind, you can concentrate on shops that carry choices within your range.  Bridal salons are a great place to start, also major department stores and even resources online provide amazing selections.

You’ll know, just as surely as you knew the one you’d marry, you’ll know THE dress!
