On your wedding day, you will no doubt want to be wearing the most fabulous, yet affordable dress that makes you the centre of attention. Helps you feel fabulous and ensures all your guests are green with envy… all of which makes for a big shopping task!



There are four factors must be taken into account when shopping your wedding dress:
1.Think about your venue
Before you even begin to think about choosing a wedding dress, you need to consider where you are getting married. Is your venue traditional, trendy or downright relaxed (like on a beach maybe?) You need a dress style that will suit the venue, (it’s no good buying an elaborate dress with a full skirt, enormous train and veil if you are planning on walking barefoot to the water’s edge for your ceremony for example!)
2.Think about the season
Take into consideration the time of year you are getting married. For example, you might want to choose a lighter fabric for summer or a long-sleeved style for winter (you want to be the centre of attention because you look beautiful, not because you’ve gone blue from the cold!)
3.Think about your figure
No matter what size or shape you are, there is a wedding dress to suit you that will fit and flatter in all the right places. All you need do before you shop is think about what dress styles usually suit you best. For example, do you look and feel fabulous in a slinky bias-cut skirt? Do you feel comfortable in a strapless corset, or do you prefer a halterneck style for support? Use the shapes and styles you prefer as a starting point and discuss these with the shop assistant.
4.Think about your skin colour
Traditional wedding dresses come in all shades of white, cream and gold, so don’t think you have to opt for pure white – particularly if you are very pale. Ask the

shop assistant to help you choose a fabric colour that helps you glow – not look like a ghost!
