Finding Your Gown

Top 10: Advice on finding your BRIDAL GOWN!

#1: Be open minded! Believe it or not...what you think reminds you of your grandmother's dress on the hanger, may in fact be the dress of your dreams!!!

#2: Bring someone that knows your style such as a close friend or relative. I'm sure the groom doesn't want to see you in something that your bestfriend would wear on her wedding day. He wants to see you at YOUR VERY BEST!

#3 DON'T PURCHASE YOUR DRESS ONLINE! You miss out on the whole experience and risk the dress not being ordered in the correct size. And yes, we have witnessed the frantic bride that was waiting for her dress a week prior to the wedding...let's just say it wasn't pretty.

#4 Don't worry what the groom will think. If he loves you, he will love what you pick! He wants to see you feeling incredible in whatever it is you wear, so if you're glowing he will be too!

#5 Have fun! Remember that you have been dreaming of this day since you were five. Don't let this decision or any wedding decision for that matter put a cloud over your head. SMILE!!! YOUR GETTING MARRIED!!!

#6 If you hate the little bow on the dress, ask the consultant if you can order it without it. Chances are you can. Keep in mind (contrary to what the magazines always say) there might be a charge for it. It won't lower the cost of the dress.

#7 Price vs. Love: If you love the dress, GO FOR IT! Don't settle for less on what your wearing for your big day. You can always take some of the budget from the centerpieces and so on. No one will know and we won't tell. :)

#8: Research designers online and make a scrap book of styles that you like. Keep in mind that it may all change when you start trying on at your appointment.

#9: Save the group shopping for the mall. This should be a personal experience that you should only share with one or two. Too many opinions only ends in confusion and frustration.

#10: When you find it, you find it. Don't second guess yourself or keep looking at other stores. This will only cause confusion, and you risk being convinced into picking your second favorite choice. BOO HISS!
