So ladies, you've found the love of your life, got the rock, set the date, what's next? The practical bride gets the venue for the ceremony and reception scheduled. Right? But realistically, the first thing we want to do is start dress shopping! We grab all the wedding magazines we can get our hands on, and the search begins. The selection of wedding gown styles is endless, and there is a dress for every style and taste. How do you decide? My best advice is to stick with who you are and stay true to yourself and your style. For example, if you love streamlined suits and are more conservative you probably want to stay away from a cinderella dress; while if your taste is more boho, a beaded mermaid gown probably won't cut it. We all look and feel our best when we wear something we are comfortable in and we love. Also, don't confuse appreciation of a look with a look that works for you. I love the whole cascading toile gowns, but my style is more chic and less elegant so a long fitted off white satin gown would suite me better. A bonus to knowing what your look is and what works for you, is that if you know going into the shop what style you want, the sales professionals will stick with gowns in that category, allowing you to make the most of your choices. And if you have trouble defining your look, ask your bridesmaides, that's what friends are for!
