Choosing the Wedding Dress of Your Dreams
By Yolanda Nash
One of the biggest decisions for a bride is what dress she will wear as she walks down that aisle with everyone looking directly at her. Traditional American brides still where white gowns. The white no longer has the connotation that it once did, but it is still the traditional choice whether you are choosing a very elaborate gown or a simple, but elegant dress.
Choosing your dress for that big day should be done well in advance of the day. Whether you are buying your dress directly off the rack or having one custom made to enhance your figure, alterations will most likely need to be made and you must allow time for errors. There have been countless times that I’ve heard someone say that the alterations were not done correctly to their dress and they’ve had to take them back to get it corrected. Sometimes the bride to be has had to take her dress to be altered two or three times before it’s all said and done. Each alteration takes time; therefore, be sure to allow time for the worst case scenario so that you can be pleasantly surprised and prepared if you end up with only one alteration and time to spare before the big day.
Dresses come in all shapes, sizes, and decorative levels. There are simple dresses that flatter the shape of the bride to be. There are elaborate dresses that not only flatter her shape, but also adorn her body. There are dresses that make you feel elegant, yet still the bride and focal point of the event, and there are dresses that make you feel like a princess with elaborate decoration that further enhance the fact that this day is all about you. There are even pant suits in white for women that would rather not get all dolled up in the wedding gown. Whatever your tastes are, there is a dress for you. Be sure to visit all of the local dress shops before deciding on your dress. You may end up going back for the very first one you tried on, I know I did, but at least you’ll know you took a good look at what else was out there.
Many stores have wonderful financing options for the purchase of a wedding dress. If the price of your favorite wedding dress makes you fall over, it is still possible for you to get it. Many dress stores have financing options that will allow you to pay for your dress in installments. That can be done and paid for in a year’s time. If bought early enough, it can be entirely paid for before the event. Yet, if financing is not for you, there are a lot of sales on wedding dresses if you keep your eyes open for them. It’s possible to get a wedding dress relatively cheaply.
You are the star on the day of your wedding. You walk down the aisle while everyone stands and admires you. Your dress should make you feel proud and beautiful at this very important moment in your life.
