How to Pick Out the Perfect Wedding Dress for Your Big Day - Associated Content

The wedding dress decision is perhaps the most nerve-wracking part of the wedding planning for any bride. Trying to find the perfect dress can feel like an uphill battle, but not when you go in with an open mind and a
 realistic budget to get the dress of your dreams. Here's how to get the best wedding dress for your big day.

The more people you take with you, the more opinions are going to be thrown your way when you're trying on dresses. To get the dress YOU want, go into the bridal salon alone or with one very good friend who you know has your best interests in mind. Too often, a bride will find the perfect gown only to be swayed into disliking it because her mother, sister, fiance, or friend hated it. It's your day. Get the dress you want and the more people you leave at home when shopping, the more likely you are to trust your own opinion and instincts.

Don't even bother trying on dresses that are out of your budget. Stick to dresses in your price range. If you don't, your perfect dress can be one you can't afford to buy, so every dress you try on thereafter won't give you that wow factor. Only try on a dress if you know you can afford to buy it, no matter how much you are tempted to upgrade.

Be open about styles. What looks terrible on a hanger may suit your body perfectly, and a style you are in love with might not suit your frame. If you think it even has a chance, try it on. You may be surprised.

If you find "the dress", stop. Right there. Try not one more dress on. You know when you are wearing the dress that makes you feel like a bride the second you see yourself in the mirror. Don't sway that positive feeling by trying on other dresses "just to be sure". You are sure. Get the one, and kiss all the other possibilities goodbye.

Bring your wedding shoes and jewelry with you if you've already purchased them so you can see what they will look like with the dress you choose, and your accessories can help make your selection that much easier. Shoes also help with the alterations of the dress so you can be sure your dress won't be too short or too long with whatever shoes you have.
