Say Yes to the Dress

We know how crucial it is to find the perfect dress. With thousands upon thousands of designs, dress shopping can become a very tedious task. We've come up with six tips to help you say "Yes" to the dress of your dreams.

Tip 1: Set aside approximately ten to fifteen percent of your overall wedding budget for your dress. This price should, however, have some flexibility based on how much you value perfection over cost. Some brides have a very flexible price point, but we know that doesn't represent all of you. Create a specific price range to narrow some of your options. If you do have a tighter budget, don't try on a dress you can't even come close to affording. If you fall in love with it, you will feel like your settling for anything else. You can find a dress you can afford!

Tip 2: Give yourself at least six months before your wedding to find your dress - the ideal shopping time is about nine months prior. You will save the most money this way, and extra time will ensure finding just what you want.

Tip 3: Take time to really think about what you want before hitting the stores. If you don't enter with somewhat of an idea, the mass amount of dresses will overwhelm you.

Tip 4: Fit your body type. It is very important for your dream dress to be flattering to your shape, rather than merely the image in your mind. Consider what types of dresses are generally flattering on you, and what you feel confident and beautiful in. Look for your wedding dress along similar lines.

Tip 5: Remember, you can customize the dress! You can add more beads, a different neckline, or whatever else. Just be sure to keep your budget in mind because customization can add up quickly. You want your dress to be unique and match the picture in your mind, so don't feel you have to settle for anything less.

Tip 6: Look like yourself. Be the most enhanced version for this very special day, but be careful not to have makeup or a hairstyle completely out of your character. You want to feel comfortable and confident and ultimately yourself!
