Choose your co-shoppers carefully<\/p>\n
The people you choose to take wedding dress shopping<\/a> are very important people. Not only should they consider themselves lucky, but they should have a personality that shows it. If you\u2019ve got a couple of friends you feel will get bored or enthusiastic quickly, they may not be your best choices. Get a small group of people that will offer helpful comments on each of the dresses you try on, and that will keep up interest no matter how long the shopping takes!<\/p>\n You won\u2019t always stick to your plan<\/p>\n Before you embark on the wedding dress search<\/a>, you might have a specific image in your head. Don\u2019t lose that ideal image of a lace fit-and-flare with an illusion neckline, but don\u2019t dismiss other options. Trying on things you don\u2019t think will suit you may sometimes surprise you, you know\u2026 Make sure you try on a range of different designs and shapes, and take the advice of the shop assistants into consideration!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not always love at first sight<\/p>\n Remember, most dresses will look bad on the hanger! Try things on! Whilst the shape may not look your cup of tea while it hangs on the dress rail, the moment you put it on, pair it with a killer pair of heels and add the accessories you might change your mind completely. But don\u2019t go through all the dresses you can get your hands on in the boutique, be selective!<\/p>\n Wear the right underwear<\/p>\n For wedding dress shopping, make sure you\u2019re wearing plain and seam-free underwear to give you an idea of how the dress really should look. Step away from the bras and knickers covered in frills and the bows for today, please. You\u2019ll thank us later.<\/p>\n Consider bridal sizes<\/p>\n Picking up your usual size 10 off the dress rail and it not fitting does not mean those after-dinner biscuits last night has gone to your hips already. Fear not! Wedding dresses are typically one to two sizes smaller than regular street sizes, so don\u2019t get too fixed on the number. And for those brides that are wedding dress shopping<\/a> with the plans to lose weight, don\u2019t be too ambitious. Often, it\u2019s a lot better to order the size that fits you now and deal with fittings nearer to the big day itself.<\/p>\n You will get tired<\/p>\n Wedding dresses \u2013 they\u2019re not exactly the lightest of garments, are they? The repetitive routine of getting undressed and dressed during any shopping day is tiring enough, let alone getting undressed and dressed into a series of heavy wedding dresses. Before you head out, get a good, but light, breakfast down you, and keep a bottle of water on hand \u2013 then you\u2019ll be ready for the \u2018Wedding dress workout\u2019.<\/p>\n Try before you buy<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve got it on and think it might be \u2018the one\u2019, try and glide like you\u2019re walking down the aisle and move like you\u2019re on the dancefloor! If you can strut your stuff in the dress, we\u2019re with you: it is the one. Everyone present, hold back the tears or grab the tissue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Choose your co-shoppers carefully The people you choose to take wedding dress shopping are very important people.
