Choosing Your Wedding Dress

Your wedding day….. one of the most memorable milestone in your life. Your special day takes months to plan from finding the venue, the cake, organising the guest list, to choosing the perfect wedding dress. 

For many brides this can be the most overwhelming decision to make. With the various design styles and silhouettes to choose from, to deciding to purchase off the rack or have something custom made. Choosing your dream dress is an investment, so understandably it can cause the bride some stress! That’s why we are here to help! 

Below are some helpful tips to consider when deciding on your wedding dress. 

 

Time

Give yourself enough time! You don’t want to add more pressure to yourself by limiting  time to shop around and explore what you like. 12-10 months is ideal, especially if going the custom made route. That will require enough time to design, toile, have 3-4 fittings and final touches, to make sure the sketch and vision for your dress comes to life. 

 

Body Type

What silhouettes and styles do you usually wear? Understanding what you’re comfortable with and what flatters your body type is a great 1st step. Have fun exploring as well, don’t limit yourself to one particular style as you might change your mind by finding something better once trying different dresses. 

 

Theme

Consider the theme of your wedding. Is it minimal? The venue, outdoor or indoor? The season? Keeping to theme can help narrow your options and give you a clearer vision.
