Choosing the perfect wedding dress is probably one of the things that the bride is most excited about and terrified of all at the same time. This is because finding the perfect designer wedding dress can be hard in Orem, which is a small city. The process of finding the dress is rigged with stressful visits, lots of deliberation and advice seeking, and hopefully champagne. You will never know if you are truly satisfied with your decision until the day itself arrives. But you can at least make sure that you avoid some of these huge mistakes by knowing what to look for:
Compromising on aspects of the dress
One of the biggest mistakes we make when choosing a wedding dress is to get so committed to a dress that you start letting your emotions take over reason. It’s okay to really love a dress, but make sure that you aren’t accepting it with flaws. A small issue that you have chosen to overlook might come back as a huge problem on the big day. It’s best not to be too rigid. If you find the perfect dress but it’s a little long, you can always buy it and get it altered. However, if the fit is not perfect or the shoulders seem too big, then you should not buy that dress, hoping that the problem is going to disappear magically.
Shopping with imaginary goals
The worst mistake most would-be brides make while shopping for their wedding dresses is to shop wistfully. They might end up buying a size that’s too small because they expect to lose weight before the wedding. It’s natural to want to get in shape before the wedding, but it’s a bad idea to buy a dress that’s too small; so many things can deviate from the plan. You can find that stress makes you feel bigger than usual or not end up losing as much as you expect it to. Always have a trusted tailor handy for alterations if needs arise at the last moment.
Not planning enough
Your wedding dress needs to fit in with the overall theme of your wedding. If you are going to have a wedding in a converted barn but end up falling in love with a dress that is more appropriate for an elaborate church wedding, you are going to feel very out of place on the day itself. Plan your decor first, and then choose the wedding dress. The last thing you want to do is inadvertently wear the same color as the linen. Although planning too much is not ideal either, try not to let impulse take over you. You wouldn’t want to end up with a dress that’s either too casual or too formal for the tone of your event. It’s also bound to make the guests feel uncomfortable.
Going dress shopping is stressful; at the same time, it’s a really fun bonding activity for you and your friends. Try to make the whole experience memorable instead of focusing too much on small details. Things will come together on the day of the wedding in ways you have never imagined.
