How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Gown

With so many wonderful possibilities when it comes to your wedding look, it can be daunting trying to pick just one gown. Here are some tips to help you say 'yes' to that dress. Firstly, create a wedding budget and stick with it. Once you know your price range for gowns, that will curtail your search for the perfect dress. You can also factor in the cost of wedding veils, shoes, jewellery, and anything else you need to complete your bridal look. Secondly, book a private appointment with your chosen dress boutique to enjoy undivided attention and exclusive use of your dressing room. Many bridalwear shops do not operate on a walk-in basis, so to ensure you get to try on those gorgeous gowns, make sure they know you're coming. Finally, to help pick a style of dress, it's good to have a chosen wedding theme to set the overall aesthetic of your celebration. Some themes include rustic weddings, bohemian weddings, traditional weddings, romantic weddings, modern weddings and fairytale weddings. It's best to choose a dress that goes with your theme. For example, for a rustic or bohemian event, a lace maxi wedding dress would blend nicely with your aesthetic. For a traditional celebration, you could try an array of styles - from A-line dresses to ball gowns and mermaid dresses, you can find plenty of inspiration here on Hitched.
