Introduction
Choosing the dress that you’ll wear on your wedding day is one of the most exciting parts of getting married. And it can also be one of the most stressful and daunting tasks, especially if you’re looking for a traditional gown. But don’t worry—we’re here to help! Whether you’re looking for an elegant ballgown or a classic cocktail dress like one from this Sydney bridal shop, we’ve got some tips and tricks for finding the perfect wedding dress in any style or budget.
Find a style that suits your body type.
This is your time to be selfish! When it comes to wedding dresses, the more you love them, the better. So if you love a dress that most people would consider unflattering on your body type, go for it! Be confident in who you are and where you want to take this next chapter of your life. You don’t need anyone’s approval but yours. Just make sure that when all is said and done (and after your honeymoon), you can look back at photos without regretting how unflatteringly some aspects of the said dress made your figure appear. In other words: choose a style that flatters rather than accentuates any problematic areas or features on your body type. For example, if one shoulder strap is not flattering due to its position on top of an ample bust line; try another style without such straps instead — something with spaghetti straps might work better because they won’t leave marks on sensitive skin after hours spent tightly laced up in layers upon layers of fabric (especially when wearing undergarments). Or perhaps opt for strapless designs instead because they tend not to emphasize cleavage as much compared with other necklines like boat necks or halter tops which emphasize collarbones instead.”
Limit your choices.
When you’re shopping for a wedding dress, it’s easy to get carried away. Don’t let yourself be swayed by the beautiful designs and fabrics of every dress in the store. Instead, focus on your overall vision for your wedding day and stick to that vision when shopping for your dress.
For example, if you always wanted a ballgown-style wedding gown but suddenly see a gorgeous fitted sheath or mermaid style while browsing online, don’t think twice about buying it—even if it doesn’t quite match what you originally set out to buy. However, if there’s something about that ballgown that isn’t working for your body type or style (maybe those puffy sleeves aren’t doing anything for you), then take another look at all of those other options before making a final decision about which one will look best on your big day!
Trust your gut.
When it comes to choosing your wedding dress, trust your gut. If you like it and want to wear it on your wedding day, then that’s probably the right choice for you. If it feels off in some way or feels wrong for some reason (even if no one else notices), then that may not be the dress for you.
I know “following my heart” sounds clichéd and overused—but sometimes those cliches are true because they’re so universal! The simple fact is: if something doesn’t feel right in any way … then it probably isn’t.
Don’t shop for a dress alone.
If you’re shopping for a wedding dress by yourself, it can be difficult to see the entire picture. You need someone else in the room with you who will tell you if what you are wearing looks good or not. A friend or family member is best suited to this job because they will be honest with their opinions and let you know what they think. Also, having another person there helps make trying on dresses less stressful and more fun!
Ask for opinions, but make the final decision yourself.
If you’re not feeling confident about your choice, ask for opinions from trusted friends and family members. If you’re still not sure, consult with a professional at the salon before making the final decision.
Keep an open mind about fit and size.
You are the only person who’s ever going to see your dress, so don’t listen to anyone else. There will always be someone who thinks your dress is too short or too long, too loose or too tight. It’s not worth listening to them because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Your body type is unique, so any opinion from someone else is just an opinion—it doesn’t count for anything at all. If you want a strapless gown but everyone says you should go with a traditional one-shoulder gown because it would look better on you, listen to yourself instead of their opinions!
You can wear anything and look fabulous if it fits well and is comfortable for dancing in (or whatever activity the wedding might require). Regardless of what kind of body shape you have, there’s going to be some kind of dress out there that’ll flatter it perfectly and make every inch of skin look amazing without even trying hard enough (and as long as there aren’t any visible stains). You just have to find the right one!
Choose a dress that has room to grow.
The main thing to keep in mind when choosing a gown is that it should have room to grow. If you’re pregnant, the dress should be loose enough to accommodate your baby bump. If you’re not pregnant but want a different look, later on, there should be enough fabric so that you can alter the waistline and hemline.
Consider how much weight you’d like to lose or gain since this can affect how well your dress fits at certain points in time. You might also consider having some alternations made so that even if your weight does fluctuate slightly, the alterations will cover it up nicely without looking as though something was amiss from day one!
When it comes down to it, choose the dress that makes you feel truly beautiful.
When it comes down to it, choose the dress that makes you feel truly beautiful. This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you’re looking at bridal gowns and trying them on, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget what’s most important: You’re wearing this dress because it will be an extension of yourself on your wedding day. The gown needs to enhance your natural beauty rather than overshadow or take away from it.
So how do you know which one is right? Well, if you feel like whatever gown is being pulled over your head is going to make you feel confident and beautiful (and not just because everyone else thinks so), then go with that one! If any part of the experience feels off or uncomfortable—if something doesn’t look right on your body type, if there isn’t enough space for dancing in heels after all—then don’t settle for anything less than what makes YOU feel amazing about yourself!
