The countdown is on and your wedding plans are in full force. Boxes are being ticked off and time is ticking by. Now is the time to make to make plans for your girls-only day, the day you pick that special wedding dress that you may have been dreaming of since you were a little girl.
You may have butterflies in your stomach as you walk through the doors of the wedding dress shop with your nearest female friends and family. Emotions may be high for all of you, as today is the day you get to feel like a princess, trying on wedding dresses until you find your perfect match. But all this is completely normal - after all, it’s not every day you get married.
The wedding dress shopping experience
Walking into the shop might be a daunting experience. Rails and rails of gowns of all shapes and sizes, and what seems like a million choices between lace, jewels and gems. Make sure you take full advantage of your consultant, no one knows the dresses better than her. She'll have advised hundreds of brides with varying body shapes day in and day out, and take her advice - even if you have heart set on a fish-tail dress with a sweeping trail, or think you won't suit a ball gown style; make sure you try on a variety. You're only planning on doing this once and you never know, the dress you never thought in your wildest dreams would be the one...just could be.
Once you have decided on your final contenders, don't forget to have a walk around in the dresses. Get a good feel for them, you'll be wearing it all day, standing for vows, sitting for food, dancing with your new husband and partying the night away. Giving the dress a test drive could mean the difference between you spending the day comfortable or counting the hours until you can take the dress off.
To help you on your quest to find your perfect dress Vows and Venues have collected a great selection of wedding dress designers and the bridal boutiques that supply them for you to peruse over.
We hope you find the perfect dress, so you can be a princess on your special day
