How to decide on your wedding dress style, shape and color!On your wedding day, you will no doubt want to be wearing the most fabulous, yet affordable wedding dress that makes you the center of attention, helps you feel fabulous and ensures all your guests are green with envy… all of which makes for a big shopping task!
Before you head for the high street and frantically look through rail after rail of wedding dresses , just take time to think through what you are looking for in a bridal gown beforehand.
Follow our guide and you can calmly go shopping for your wedding dress knowing exactly what you want and will be able to get the wedding dress shop assistants to help you too.
After all, you want to look like a princess on your wedding day and whoever heard of a princess having a meltdown in a changing room?
Before you even begin to think about choosing a wedding dress, you need to consider where you are getting married. Is your wedding traditional, trendy or downright relaxed (like on a beach maybe?) You need a wedding dress style that will suit the venue, (it’s no good buying an elaborate wedding dress with a full skirt, enormous train and veil if you are planning on walking barefoot to the water’s edge for your wedding ceremony for example!)
Think about the season
Take into consideration the time of year you are getting married. For example, you might want to choose a lighter fabric for a summer wedding or a long-sleeved style for a winter wedding (you want to be the center of attention because you look beautiful in your wedding gown, not because you’ve gone blue from the cold!)
No matter what size or shape you are, there is a wedding dress to suit you that will fit and flatter in all the right places. All you need do before you shop is think about what dress styles usually suit you best and look for the same style in a wedding gown. For example, do you look and feel fabulous in a slinky bias-cut skirt? Do you feel comfortable in a strapless corset, or do you prefer a halterneck style for support? Use the shapes and styles you prefer as a starting point and discuss these with the wedding shop assistant.
Traditional wedding dresses come in all shades of white, cream and gold, so don’t think you have to opt for pure white – particularly if you are very pale. Ask the wedding shop assistant to help you choose a fabric color that helps you glow – not look like a ghost!
Note down your choices based on these considerations and you will be all set to go wedding dress shopping.
A good sales assistant should ask you all these questions about your wedding day: the time of year, consider your figure and skin tones before you even begin to get near the rails and now you’ll be all prepared with the answers that will help you find that perfect wedding dress.
