I am very excited that 2 Wedding Compass bride recently found their wedding dress. It is truly an honour for me to be part of the process, from selecting bridal salon, consultation visit, and witness all the different gown they try on to finally they ready to "say yes" to the dress is amazing.
Finding the perfect dress is not easy, bride feel excited and fun going into their first visit, but later feel exhausted and overwhelmed with all the choices and realized all the element she like are in different dresses. Of course custom design is always an option but that may go over budget.
Here are a few tips that may assist to a successful wedding dess shopping
1) Compile your wish list - search online and bridal magazine for pictures. List out what you like and dislike in terms of
Colour (white / off-white / ivory / diamond / blush)
Fabric (silk, lace, satin)
Style (off-shoulder / sweet heart / low- cut / A-line /ballgown / mermaid)
Details (beading / crystal)
2) From the photos you selected, check if there is a specific designer you like the most, so you may narrow down your search on which bridal salon to visit
3) Check price range on both the gowns of the designer you most intetested, as well as the bridal salon you interested. This is to avoid disappointment if you have a set budget
4) Send your wish list to the salon prior to your appointment. Allow bridal consultant to pull out the style you like in advance, this will save a lot of time
5) Be openminded - althought you have a specific vision of what you like and what style look good on you, but do try out other style, as you may be surprised from the result. Remember bridal dress and your daily outfit are not the same
6) Trust your consultant. They know their inventory well and they are the expert. Once you arrived to the appointment, they may have a vision of what look good on you, and pull out other selection based on your looks, body shape, the setting (location) of your wedding and your budget
7) Only take 2-3 peoples with you to the appointment, and only those who know you well and opinion you trusted the most. Too many opinion only get you confused. Since everyone have diffferent taste and style, only those who have your best intetest should be at the appointment
To all Bride-to-Be wish you all enjoy finding your dream dress.
