Choosing Your Wedding Dress

He's proposed and it is time to make a decision on the most important detail of every little girl's dream: the wedding dress. Should it be sleeveless, short, long, lacey, sequined or plain? So many questions to ask yourself, although you are sure of one thing, it needs to be perfect.

The first thing on your huge list of wedding preparations should be choosing your dress, once you have made that all important decision to get married. By putting this at the top of your list, you will save countless hours of anguish in planning your wedding. This way you can try many different varieties of wedding dress without worrying that time is running out and you have not found the one that shows the true you.

If you have decided on a theme for your wedding, this will be an important factor in choosing the perfect wedding dress. Will you be having a beach wedding? If this is the case, you will be looking for a style that is not too hot and heavy. Will your wedding be a fairytale style wedding? If so, you will want lots of lace and silk. No matter which type of wedding you have decided on, your wedding dress will play a major part in setting the scene.

Another important factor is what time of year are you planning to get married. If you are getting married in the height of summer, you will not want a dress with multiple layers and full length sleeves. Your wedding should be full of happy memories from the ceremony. You do not want to be thinking about how hot you got on your wedding day but rather how hot you looked in your wedding dress.

As you start to try on the different types of wedding dress on your short list, make sure to walk around rather than just standing in the dress to make sure that they really are as comfortable as you will require. Make sure to try out the different stances that you may require in your ceremony such as kneeling to make sure the dress will be comfortable during every part of the ceremony.

How good the dress looks is only 50% of choosing the dress. The other 50% is whether you look good in the dress. You will not be able to look good if your dress is scratchy or if it is a bit tight and you are afraid you might split a seam.

One mistake that a lot of brides tend to make when choosing a wedding dress is with the size. If you are planning on losing weight before your big day, do not buy a dress the size you think you may be come the wedding day. Instead buy the size you are on the day you choose the dress. It will always be easier to take a dress in if it is too big, than to add material for a dress that ended up being too small.

With the expense of weddings, some couples try and cut back by making their own flowers, having a family member bake the wedding cake or hiring a friend to take wedding photos. Although it is okay to cut back and still have your dream wedding, don't skimp when choosing your wedding dress. If you cannot afford to hit a wedding boutique and pay their prices, try wedding consignment shops, who offer 'like new' dresses at an affordable price.

Regardless of the wedding dress you finally end up choosing, remember that you are the person that your fianc wants to marry, not the dress. The dress is only used to ensure you look your best on the day.

Once you have selected your wedding dress, keep it in the bag that it comes in and try not to take it out too often. This way you will be adding to the atmosphere as your guests see your dress for the first time as you walk down the aisle. Always make sure to not show your dress to your intended before the ceremony too as it is bad luck.
