Finding the perfect wedding dress
As Vivienne, our virtual bride, powers ahead with her wedding plans we take some advice from 7th Heaven Bridal on finding the perfect wedding dress.
Trust yourself
Your dress should reflect you. Whatever your Mum, Sister or best friend may say, it has to be your choice. This is YOUR big day.
Flatter your figure
You wouldn’t normally buy a dress that didn’t make the most of your assets and hide the bits you’re not so keen on, so don’t change the rules for your wedding day.
Be brave
Try on as many shapes, styles and fabrics as possible – don’t rule anything out. You may be surprised at what you fall in love with and suits you.
Always be prepared
Take shoes and underwear to try-ons. If you’re wearing the perfect heel high and a well fitting strapless bra you’ll have a better idea of what the dress will look like on the day.
Accessorise carefully
If your dress is simple, you can get away with a statement corsage, necklace or brooch. But if you’ve gone over the top on the dress, opt for something discreet, such as an understated silver chain or pearl earrings.
Find a shop that fits
Look around for a shop and a shop assistant that you feel comfortable with and whose judgement you can trust as they will be with you for the whole process.
Finally
Ensure it’s an outfit that makes you feel a million dollars. Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun!
