Your wedding dress is most likely one of the most important outfits you’ll be choosing in your life! You want to find a gown that makes you feel like your best self- full of confidence, beauty, and love.

For The Good Events Wedding Dress Advice

Here are three of our recommendations of things to consider when searching for your wedding dress!

Do Research & Find Inspiration

There are thousands of dress options, a multitude of styles, and several dress designers that handcraft wedding gowns. We highly recommend that before you make appointments at your local bridal gown shops, that you take some time to do your research and find some inspiration.

A few things to factor in when you are doing your research:

What time of year are you getting married?
What does your venue look like?
Do you have any theme or wedding style you are working around?

When you are looking through some dress inspiration options, it’s helpful to put together some Pinterest boards of dress styles you like and also dress styles that you are not too fond of. If there are certain elements of a dress style you really enjoy, notate it and be sure to let your stylist know.

Budget For Your Dream Dress… And Then Add Some

Don’t forget that when you are purchasing your wedding dress, you are not just going to be getting the dress! It’s important to account for factors such as your accessories, shoes, veil, and jewelry.

When it comes to accessorizing your dress, be thoughtful. We recommend accessorizing in a way that highlights your look without distracting or taking away from you or your dress. Think timeless and true to you- accessories that complete the look!

Bring Your People

We asked The Bachelor’s Caila Quinn on who she recommends you bring when searching for wedding dresses! She advised bringing your girlfriends, women who hype you up, who will read your face and know what you are feeling! She also highlighted bringing any loved ones and friends who can read your energy and know when you truly love a dress! And of course, bring your mom!
