Congratulations, Bunny! Best wishes and all that. My best advice when you’re shopping for a wedding gown is not to fall victim to the "Instant Princess" falacy. That is when the sales clerks (who after all want to sell you the most expensive dress and as many accessories as possible) start to treat you and your mom like royalty and sell romance and style and all kinds of other intangibles. The moment you look at yourself in the mirror, the sales clerks want you to fall in love with yourself. Don’t. Remember your budget, the theme of your wedding, the style of your relatives (my father refused point-blank to wear a tuxedo…that meant not even my husband wore one and my wedding was less formal than most), and what looks good on you.
Don’t buy the first thing you see.
Don’t buy the cheapest thing you see - remember, this
thing potentially will be around for a long long time.
Enjoy the experience for its own sake, rather than
for a rush to make a decision.
Don’t stress about it. Even the most laid-back of brides can freak out when they go dress shopping. Just remember that the groom’s going to think you’re beautiful no matter what dress you’re in. Hope this helps. Have fun and congrats!
Don’t freak out over sizes. Wedding dresses run small.
If you are a size six you might need an 8 or even 10. Likewise, if you are a 12 you’ll have to try a 14 or 16.
Take a pair of heels with you. Have fun.
I was a bridal consultant for a while first when is your wedding ? you should start shopping for a dress at least 8 months before the big day . second you need to think about what color/style dress you want these are things you will be asked. something to consider when picking out a dress is what season and where your wedding will be (church/ outside) Formal or informal . If you are going with a church wedding you should lean more towards the formal side you could always wear something else to your reception. If it is an outdoor wedding you could still do formal but you would probably be very hot and uncomfortable there are a ton of web sites to look on to help give you an idea if there is one you really want print it out and take it with you the store may have it or something very similar. also be sure to bring a camera when trying on dresses so you can look at them when you get home it will help alot…hope this helps and congratulations
