For many brides,
finding the perfect wedding dress is on the top of their to-do list right after
they say “yes”. It is the centerpiece of the ceremony and might just be the
most important dress of their life. But finding the perfect wedding dress is a
long process, and there will be ups and downs. Your dream dress won’t really be
all that dreamy when you put it on and you will spend too much time in your
underwear in different changing rooms waiting for someone to bring you another
model. But when you find the one, it will be like meeting your SO all over
again! So how do you know when you’ve found the perfect dress, without just
“feeling it”?
It Doesn’t Break The Bank
Let’s get the hard
part out of the way: Dresses cost a lot of money. And if you’re not all too
clear on your budget, you’ll find yourself falling in love with dresses you
have no way of affording, which can be heartbreaking. This is why, when planning your wedding budget, you want to make sure you have a very clear dress
budget, and when you go into a bridal appointment, you need to state your
budget before you look at a single dress. Bridal stylists know not to show
brides dresses out of their price range, because that won’t make anyone happy.
Your perfect dress will always be something you can afford and that should be
your first criterion for any dress you try on.
It Fits You Perfectly
If you think you
should sacrifice comfort for what you think is a perfect dress – forget about
it. You will be spending the entire day in it and there is no need to feel
uncomfortable. This isn’t something you should be paying too much attention to,
because a dress will be made to fit through alterations and fittings. However,
if you are planning on buying a dress and rolling with it as it is, without any
alterations, you need to make sure that the dress is in the correct size and
that it fits your body the way you want it to. Different dresses will make your
silhouette look different, and you want to find something that you feel happy
in. Looking for beautiful plus size wedding dresses is a great way to find a variety of shapes, sizes
and fits, to make sure you have the absolute perfect shape on the big day.
It Goes With The Theme
You’ve probably
decided on a theme for your wedding at the very beginning. And not every dress will fit every
theme, so when putting on the dress, you should always try to imagine yourself
at the actual wedding venue. If you have a beach wedding, then a puffy dress
with a long train probably isn’t the best option. Similarly, if you have a
carnival theme where you want to have a lot of fun, you don’t want to be
spending the day constricted in a bodycon gown. If you haven’t chosen the theme
or venue yet, but you are dress hunting, then you need to get something that is
neutral and will go with many settings. For example, an elegant, minimalist
A-line dress will fit well with many themes, and if you keep the materials
light, you have the option of adding layers and accessories.
It Combines With The Important Details
Do you have your mother’s veil that you want to wear at your own
wedding? Or a statement necklace passed down through generations, worn by the
women of your family on their wedding day? Or maybe just your lucky shoes that
there is no way you’re giving up. If there are some items that you know you
will be wearing no matter what, then you want your dress to match them and work
well without any clashes. After all, the dress is just one part, and there is a
lot more that needs to go into the look, all of which should work together in
harmony.
