Choosing the "right" wedding dress
Share
Choosing the perfect wedding dress is an exciting but also demanding process. To help brides-to-be, we've compiled tips on what to look for, with references to styles, fabrics and guidance from top designers.
1. Start your search early
According to Vera Wang, the search should begin at least 8–12 months before the wedding, so there is time for testing and any alterations.
2. Analyze your personal style
Think about what expresses you most. If you love minimalist elegance, opt for clean lines and simple cuts. If you want something romantic, lace and airy furs will delight you.
3. Choose the appropriate shape
- A-line: Versatile, fits almost all body types.
- Ball gown: The classic "princess" wedding dress, ideal for large ceremonies.
- Mermaid: Highlights the curves, with the skirt opening low.
- Sheath: Simple and bohemian, for elegant but relaxed looks.
4. Choose the right fabric
Lace gives romance, silk elegance, tulle volume, while satin gives shine and nobility.
5. Pay attention to details
Embroidery, crystals or open backs can make your wedding dress truly unique.
6. Consider the venue and style of the wedding
A beach wedding calls for a light wedding dress, while an indoor venue suits more luxurious and heavy textures.
7. Don't forget comfort
You'll be wearing it for many hours. Make sure you can move and dance comfortably.
8. Remember the budget
Set a realistic budget and calculate additional expenses such as accessories, shoes, and alterations.
9. Choose the right company
Take 2–3 people with you that you trust. A large group can confuse the decision.
Your wedding dress is not just about appearance. It's the way it will make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself.
