Tips on How to Buy a Wedding Dress

We all need a little help in choosing the perfect wedding dress. We found these tips here on brides.com that will hopefully help you when dress shopping!

Think About The Venue

A sexy slipdress will be out of place in a cathedral, while a glam ball gown won't look right on a ranch. Keep your setting in mind while you're trying on dresses. 

Consider the Weather

Saying "I do" in the tropics? Go for lightweight fabrics and ethereal styles. Marrying in the winter? Think sparkle, sleeves, and lush fabrics, like satin or taffeta. 

Channel the Spirit of Your Party

You want your dress to reflect the feel of your wedding. So if your stationery and decor scream "formal affair," your gown should, too.

Live Your Fantasy

After all that, here's where we tell you to throw out the rulebook. This is your dream and your big day—if you want to wear a ball gown on a beach, it's your prerogative. Go for it!
