How to Find Your Perfect Dress

Now that you are planning your perfect wedding…you’ve got your perfect husband-to-be, your perfect diamond ring, and even your perfect venue where you’re perfect day will be held. There’s only one perfect problem…how are you suppose to find your dream dress in all of this wedding hoo-hah? Many brides wonder how to get started and for that matter what is the proper etiquette to go about picking that perfect gown.
First thing is first, be realistic and open-minded. What looks good on a model may not flatter your figure. Choose a gown that hides your flaws and plays up to your best features. Next, get recommendations and listen to what friends and brides in your area have to say about area salons. Also, schedule appointments some salons allow walk-ins, but by booking an appointment you are ensuring that a consultant has time to help you. When you do go to these appointments remember that money does matter and always be honest with your consultant about how much you would actually like to spend. Be up front about it because you will only create heart break when trying on a dress you love, but can’t afford.
Bring inspiration to your appointment with heels, makeup, and styling your hair to look the part. This way you can create the illusion of what you might look like on your Big Day. Also, keep in mind on who to bring with you when you’re trying on gowns. Bringing a crowd of people with you to the salons are not necessary and can be inconvenient to you and to salon owners for seating. Two people is plenty, maybe your mom and a close friend any more will make decision-making stressful and difficult. Last but not least is sleep on it. There’s no need to make a quick decision right away. Many salons won’t allow returns so ensuring that this is the dress should be well thought out.
