Once you have set a date, the planning starts and one of the main things you have to organize is your wedding dresses. This means you need to find time in your busy schedule to shop around, find the best deals and find the wedding dress of your dreams.

This is why you need to start your search early, the earlier you start the better, as you are guaranteed to find the perfect dress, have any adjustments made and have it ready for you to walk down the aisle with confidence.

Start your search by going through glossy magazines, seeing what your favorite celebrities are wearing on their wedding days online and visit some bridal boutiques. This can help you get an idea on the different styles and fabrics you can consider to make you look spectacular on your special day.

It is always recommended to consider the styles that will flatter your body shape. You should have some idea on your body shape and there is a wealth of information online to help you determine the best wedding dresses that will compliment your shape and offer you an amazing silhouette as you walk down the aisle. Remember to try on as many dresses as possible, try on those you never thought would look good on you, you may be pleasantly surprises.

Another important factor to remember is that you don’t only have to try on dresses in your size, you can try on those in a slightly bigger or smaller size. Most bridal shops have a team of seamstresses, beaders and embroiders who can make the necessary alterations, which provides you with a much wider selection when searching store to store.

Take your personality into consideration. If you’re not a girly girl, the choosing a princess style dress may not really showcase you as a person. You may prefer something a little less puffy and more streamlined, elegant and sophisticated. Always consider what you will feel most comfortable in and then use that to base your ideas, you are sure to find something if you keep looking and remain positive.

Keep an eye out for sales and clearance offers taking place at various bridal shops. Often these are sample items and items which they are clearing out to make room for new stock, it’s an opportunity to search through the selection and see if there is anything that appeals to you.

Always pay close attention to your theme. If you’re planning the perfect summer wedding, ensure your wedding dress showcases this. Tying your dress in with the theme can also help you narrow down your search, making it easier to short list styles, fabrics and lengths to suit you on your day.

Before you start running around to the bridal shops in your local area, set yourself a budget. You probably already have a set budget for what you can spend on the wedding as a whole and a portion of that will be allocated to wedding dresses. Keep that budget in mind when shopping, because it’s easy to exceed it quickly.

Ensure any shop you buy from offers an altering service and that they can have the wedding dress finished and ready for you well in advance. You don’t want to leave this until the last minute, because this enables you to try the dress on again a week before the wedding and make further changes if necessary.
