I had so much fun shopping for my dress. I did find my dream dress in the first bridal shop I went to, but it can be overwhelming. Have a small group of ladies whom you truth their option to go shopping with you.

Depending on the type of wedding (very formal church or afternoon garden wedding) you are having, there are particular dresses that suit those themes more than others.

Let your bridal associate know your wedding theme and colours before you start looking at dresses. Many associates are fantastic at choosing dresses that mix perfectly with wedding themes allowing the dress to help achieve the overall wedding day atmosphere.

Remember to try all types of dresses, what looks weird on the rack could look fabulous on you. And most of all………ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!!!!
