The best advice to take when choosing your wedding dress

The best advice to take when choosing your wedding dress is to go to a shop with an open mind. It is all very well to have an idea of what you would like, but it’s a known fact that 75% of brides come home with an unexpected choice of dress. It will be such a fun day out, and probably the only chance in your life you will get to ‘play’ with so many different types of wedding gown.

Choosing your bridal gown will be the most expensive shopping trip of your life! Most wedding dress specialists are only too helpful and will be quite happy for you to try on most of the shop, though you may have to pre-book an appointment at some places. If you are in a minority of places where the staff resemble those on Julia Robert’s trip to Rodeo Drive in Pretty Woman then simply go elsewhere. No-one should hurry you into a decision about a wedding gown and no-one should make you feel like a nuisance.

Whatever your body shape may be, do not try and fool yourself into thinking it is something else. You are going to be on display on your wedding day, and choosing a dress that you wished fit you perfectly would be an incredible mistake. No matter what your body type, you will look beautiful on your special day if you choose a dress style that conforms to your body type.

It should also be mentioned that very few people actually lose weight in the time leading up to your wedding. The planning can take such a heavy toll in terms of stress and energy that dieting is simply a bad decision- many brides believe that they can spread the loss out over time, but the fact is that, as with any diet, commitment will be a problem. You may end up blowing the diet and then actually gaining weight as your body tries to compensate. Short term diets in the months before the wedding are a terrible idea, as you will need to maintain your energy levels as the tasks begin piling up. There is also the added fact that you are going to be attending several parties with excellent food, and you probably will not be able to summon the will power to stay away from it.
