Finding a Wedding Gown

Finding a Wedding Gown
by julie vincetti

He's proposed and it is time to make a decision on the most important detail of every little girl's dream: the wedding dress. Should it be sleeveless, short, long, lacey, sequined or plain? So many questions to ask yourself, although you are sure of one thing, it needs to be perfect.



As soon as the planning begins for the big day, choosing your wedding dress becomes somewhat of an urgency for most brides, who do not want to wait until the last minute. While dealing with wedding stress and preparations, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to try on different styles and find the one who says "you".



If you have decided on a theme for your wedding, this will be an important factor in choosing the perfect wedding dress. Will you be having a beach wedding? If this is the case, you will be looking for a style that is not too hot and heavy. Will your wedding be a fairytale style wedding? If so, you will want lots of lace and silk. No matter which type of wedding you have decided on, your wedding dress will play a major part in setting the scene.



Another important factor is what time of year are you planning to get married. If you are getting married in the height of summer, you will not want a dress with multiple layers and full length sleeves. Your wedding should be full of happy memories from the ceremony. You do not want to be thinking about how hot you got on your wedding day but rather how hot you looked in your wedding dress.



When looking at wedding dresses, you will want to try on many different types of dress. Do not just stand there in them when trying them on. Stroll around to see how comfortable they feel when you move. Try different positions of your ceremony in your dress to make sure that you are going to feel comfortable throughout the whole ceremony.



How good the dress looks is only 50% of choosing the dress. The other 50% is whether you look good in the dress. You will not be able to look good if your dress is scratchy or if it is a bit tight and you are afraid you might split a seam.



One mistake that a lot of brides tend to make when choosing a wedding dress is with the size. If you are planning on losing weight before your big day, do not buy a dress the size you think you may be come the wedding day. Instead buy the size you are on the day you choose the dress. It will always be easier to take a dress in if it is too big, than to add material for a dress that ended up being too small.



With the expense of weddings, some couples try and cut back by making their own flowers, having a family member bake the wedding cake or hiring a friend to take wedding photos. Although it is okay to cut back and still have your dream wedding, don't skimp when choosing your wedding dress. If you cannot afford to hit a wedding boutique and pay their prices, try wedding consignment shops, who offer 'like new' dresses at an affordable price.



It does not matter what the style, color or cost of the dress is, just remember that you are who your intended fell in head over heals with, not your clothes. All the dress will do is help accentuate all those aspects of yourself that he fell in love with in the first place.



After you have chosen your wedding dress hang it in the bag it comes in and do not over show it. Give guests something to look forward to as they see you for the first time walking down the aisle. And unless it is unavoidable, do not let your future husband see your dress at all before the wedding. It's bad luck!
