Before Choosing The Dress - What You Need to Do?
Getting ready to say "I do" is an exciting time, but let's be real, it can also be overwhelming. Between planning the perfect ceremony, choosing the right venue, and making sure your guests have a blast, it's easy to feel like you're drowning in a sea of details. But, amidst all the chaos, don't forget about the most important part of your big day: your wedding dress. It's the one thing that will make you feel like a princess, and it's worth taking the time to get it just right.
Not to make you nervous, but you are about to purchase the most expensive, stared-at, and must-be-perfect piece of clothing you will ever wear. Your dress is the wedding's true centerpiece, and it's what will make your photos, memories, and Instagram posts unforgettable. So, take a deep breath, relax, and let's get started on finding your perfect match.
Three Key Takeaways to Remember:ber
- Start shopping as soon as possible, as in 9 to 12 months (or right after you have pegged out your desired venue) before the wedding - it will take the pressure off the process.
- Place your order according to the time suggested by the manufacturer.
- You'll have found it when you look in the mirror and feel absolutely fabulous.
- Consider your accessories carefully - they need to compliment your overall look.

Body Silhouettes 101
Understanding your body shape is crucial in finding the perfect wedding dress. From round/apple to pear-shaped, full-figured, and more, there are various silhouettes to consider. Take a moment to identify your body type and explore styles that flatter your figure.
For example, if you have a full-figured or hourglass silhouette, consider dresses with an A-line, ball gown, flared skirt, or cinched waist style. A broader neckline, such as off-the-shoulder, Portrait, Bateau, or Sabrina, can also help balance your overall silhouette.

Tips for Wedding Dress Shopping
When to start trying on dresses: 10 - 12 months
Start trying things 10 to 12 months before the big day so you can order by sixth to the eight-month deadline which most salons require (See our wedding checklist).
If you don't have that much lead time, you may still be able to get a made-to-order gown; some can be made in as few as four weeks. Just be ready to pay for the convenience: Usually, it's an additional 10 to 15 percent, not including rush alteration fees.
