Brides may try on as many as 25 dresses before selecting the right one. You should plan for several fittings in advance of your day, to make sure you look and feel spectacular. When making your gown selection, bring a trusted friend or relative for feedback. This input will give you confidence in your choices. Remember, your gown may be worn by generations yet to come.
Formal wear can be a major investment.
For alternatives to purchasing a new gown, consider a family heirloom, or comb through thrift stores to find a unique but inexpensive option. And don t forget the details. Accessories shoes, jewelry, veil or other hair decoration, will complete the picture. Gowns for the bridal party are another important consideration. Don t just think about your own preferences, consider what your friends and family will want to wear, and what they will look best in.
