Trying on Too Many Options
You don’t have to test every style that’s out there! If you find something you love and makes you feel confident, stick to that.
-
Requesting the Wrong Size
Wedding gowns tend to not run true to size, so don’t get too caught up in the size you think you are supposed to be.
-
Sticking to One Style
You might fall in love with something that’s totally different from what you had originally pictured. Keep an open mind.
-
Bringing a Posse
Too many people means too many opinions. It’s easy to lose sight of what you want when others are influencing you.
-
Wearing the Wrong Shoes
It’s important to try on your gown with shoes that are similar to the ones you plan to wear on your wedding day. This way, you can make sure the dress length works with the heel and that you feel comfortable in them.
-
Procrastinating
Don't wait until the last minute! You need to allow for alteration time, which can add stress if you’re cutting it close.
-
Spending Too Much Time Online
Looking at every different bridal gown online can make you go crazy. Think about what you really want and narrow down your options.
-
Following Trends
If a wedding gown is too trendy, you may not like the photos in a few years. It’s always best to stay true to your personal style.
-
Waiving Customer Service
A big part of shopping for your wedding gown is the atmosphere. Make sure you go to a place that’s going to give you the right customer service and help you feel great about your decision.
-
Forgetting About Accessories
If you have special jewelry or a veil that you know you want to wear, I would suggest you bring them along. It’s important to see the whole look together before choosing a dress. Also, make sure to plan jewelry. The wrong necklace can ruin a dress. Earrings are generally the best option.
