On-trend wedding dresses You said ‘yes’, the ring is on your finger, so what’s next? The dress, of course! For many brides-to-be it’s one of the most exciting parts of the wedding journey and it’s tempting to rush out to the shops straight away and start trying on gorgeous gowns. After all, it’s not every day you get the chance, right? Not wanting to sound like a killjoy, but taking the time to do your homework first can help you avoid costly mistakes. There are many factors to take into account to make sure your dress is not only the right fit for you, but that it ties in with the style and feel of your day. The time of year, type of ceremony and the venue are all key considerations, as well as the kind of entertainment you’re planning. To help give you some inspiration, we’ve asked local bridal boutiques to send in some of their favourite dresses that fit three popular themes… FINDINGthe one Dress: Camden by Tiffanys Bridal About: A classic Mikado A-line wedding dress with a flattering cuffed off-the-shoulder neckline, pocket detailing on the skirt and a zip-back.

From: www.stephanieallin.net Searching for your dream dress It can be overwhelming when you first start looking for your dress. Ideally, before your appointment, do a bit of research to get some inspiration as to what you want your gown to look like. This will give your stylist more insight into your bridal vision and help progress the appointment in the right direction. Bring a small entourage whose opinions you can trust. Keep in mind that if a party is too large, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by a flood of differing opinions, making it impossible to make a decision. Finally, don’t try on too many dresses! Pick a bridal boutique that best suits you and your style, not necessarily the one that is closest to you. It’s important that you research different stores, exploring the designers that they stock as well as past customer reviews via their website and social media platforms. FLOWERS 65 BRIDAL BOUTIQUES
