Not to say that your regular, day to day, fashion choices are not important but there is one such choice that’s almost certainly going to be more important than all the others. That choice is going to be your wedding dress. Can anyone think of another single-use garment that will have so much thought and care put into it? Even if you are one of those people who say you don’t care as much, you know there will be scrutiny from friends and relatives, so there will still be that thought process going on. Here is a quick guide on what to consider when choosing the ideal wedding dress for your occasion.
The Style of Wedding
What type of wedding are you having? If it’s a big traditional church do then you may want to err on the side of caution and conservative fashions. On the other hand, if you are tying the knot at an unusual or alternative venue such as a theme park or Las Vegas, then formality may be much lower down on the priority list. Even some consideration to your age (sorry to bring it up) or if it’s your first wedding or a subsequent one.
Your Body Shape
Not all women are created equal, unfortunately. I would kill for some of my best friends figures, but they tell me the same thing, we all find something we don’t like about how we look and we should consider these variations when choosing our wedding dress. What suits a super-skinny size-6 girl won’t necessarily suit a more fuller-figured curvy woman.
Local Shops
There can be loads of everything found online these days and with much discounting to be found but although the same can be said for wedding dresses as with everything else you may want to consider the fact that this is one purchase you will want to try on first! It could be a good idea to find which Wedding Dress Shops Near Me offer a fitting and advice service and visit a few.
Budget
As with anything associated with weddings a dress can cost an absolute fortune if you allow it to. But if you have a look around and then set a budget you will lessen the temptation to go way over what you can afford. It’s almost always true that if you see an expensive option you love, someone will have a cheaper version of something that looks similar or identical.
Colour-Scheme
When we talk about colour the first reaction is well it’s going to be white, isn’t it? Not necessarily is the short answer to this question. Not every culture has a white wedding dress as a standard, you may find that in Eastern Europe this is not always the case, for example. You may also want to consider what the bridesmaids are wearing or even the groom if you are ultra-modern and this is not a secret.
