Checklist For Her
AVOIDING THE WEDDING DRESS NIGHTMARE
There is that saying that a woman is most beautiful and radiant on her wedding day.
Unless you are one of those who is blessed with a perfect Elle Macpherson figure, finding the right dress that compliments your body frame and form is an immediate reality. Do your homework. Start by noting dress styles that you like from bride's magazines, bridal boutiques, or even friends' weddings.
Decide to engage the services of a bridal shop or tailor only when you are sure they can get the dress you like, in your size, by your wedding date. Especially important is a reasonable fitting schedule. Make sure there is enough time to refit, if necessary. If the shop limits the number of dresses you can try on in a given day, find another shop. Being given the space to choose is practically a right since you will be spending a hefty lump of money on your final gown.
One thing to keep in mind though: since you will be
in this dress for a long time on your wedding day, under a variety of emotional and
environmental conditions, comfort should thus be duly considered. You wouldn't want to be
stuck in something that feels like sandpaper next to your skin for one whole day.
For those of us who belongs to the sentimental breed, why not consider wearing your
mother's old gown? No designer can weave the same amount of kinship and heritage in
another dress.
NOW, LET'S DRESS THE REST
The general rule is simple: always aim to match or
compliment the bridal gown. Avoid details that might take away too much attention from the
bride. The overall colour scheme of the entire wedding should also encompass the general
dress code of all the attendants. You could engage the help of the same bridal shop or
tailor who is getting or sewing the bride's gown.
