Fear not, we have put together 5 tips to help you find your dream dress with ease and confidence!!

1. Identify your personal style

The first step to finding the perfect wedding dress is to define your personal style. Are you a classic, romantic, bohemian, or modern bride? This is so important for you to identify right off the bat because understanding your personal style can help you narrow down the options and focus on the styles that align with your vision!

2. Know your body shape

Wedding dresses come in a variety of shapes and silhouettes, and finding the one that flatters your body and feels comfortable is crucial.Understanding your body shape can help you choose the right style that accentuates your best features and makes you feel comfortable throughout the day. Remember, you will be wearing this dress for a LONG time, so you want to be as comfortable as possible!

3. Make sure to shop at the right time

Shopping for your wedding dress at the right time is really important. We recommend shopping for your dress at least 9-12 months before your wedding day, as it can take up to 6 months for the dress to arrive and another few months for all the alterations. Shopping early also gives you enough time to explore all the different styles and compare prices before making the final decision.

4. Be open to the different styles

One of the most fun parts of the wedding dress shopping experience, is trying on different styles and designs. While it’s great to have a clear idea of what you’re looking for, it’s also important to keep an open mind and try on dresses that you may not have considered before. You may be surprised with what suits your body!!

5. Consider your wedding venue

Your wedding venue can play a significant role in the type of dress you choose. If you’re getting married in a grand ballroom, a formal dress with intricate beading and lace may be fitting. But if you’re having a beach wedding a flowy dress might be more fitting.

The search for the perfect wedding dress can be an enjoyable and thrilling journey when you have a clear idea in your head of what you’re looking for.

Now you’re ready to pick the perfect dress!
