It’s a dress you’re going to be wearing for one night and one night only so why do we get so stressed about picking the perfect wedding dress? Here are our helpful hints on picking the perfect gown:
1. Do your homework. Look through magazines to see which dresses excite you.
2. Start at a Gemach. Give yourself the luxury of time to try on different styles of dresses to find which look best on you.
3. Don’t get sidetracked by the current trendy wedding dresses. A wedding dress should be timeless not trendy.
4. Remember that most wedding pictures will be from the top of the dress and up. Make sure that your dress stands out. Do you really want to see how your dress looks in pictures? Snap a few of yourself in your dress to get a clear picture.
5. Take your time. Try on many wedding dresses. It’s okay to be uncertain. You’ll get a stronger sense of what you like as time goes on.
6. Bring the right people dress shopping with you. Surround yourself with one or two people whose opinions you trust. Too many opinions just makes you doubt yourself and your choices.
7. Be open-minded. Often we walk in assuming we know exactly what we want. Make sure to try on different styles of wedding dresses. You never know what may surprise you!
