Choosing the Right Wedding Dress – What “David” Won’t Tell You
As a wedding planner, I have spoken to thousands of brides and witnessed, at close hand, at least a thousand in their wedding dresses. As a photographer, I have closely studied the bride’s photographic images in print. I, therefore, have an experienced eye and feel qualified to give some good advice.
I know many brides go out shopping for the perfect wedding dress within days and even hours of the proposal. Some go even before the proposal. Almost every bride I talk to discusses her dress. I know that the choosing of the right wedding dress is very important. Every bride I have seen is beautiful, but not every bride’s dress suits her. Some wedding dresses are a definite detriment to the bride’s appearance, the pictures and even the whole wedding.
So brides, I want to offer you some criteria for picking the right dress. Let these three principles guide you:
1) YOU LOVE IT AND WILL LOVE IT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.
Above all else, you need to feel beautiful and comfortable. Don’t let your mother, sister, bridesmaid, shop clerk, Goth teenage cousin, or even your groom decide. This is YOUR day, and you need to trust your own taste and style. You will be the one walking down the aisle – the “Star of the Runway.” You will be the one looking at your wedding pictures for the rest of your life. So, how will YOU decide what the best dress for you is?
2) MAKE SURE IT IS COMFORTABLE AND FITS YOU.
Don’t buy your dress a year in advance – your taste or your shape might change during that time. Don’t buy your dress to fit after you have lost twenty pounds. You might not, or you could lose even more. In either case, it won’t fit.
Definitely enjoy browsing wedding magazines, but keep in mind your own budget, taste and figure. Too many of those dresses in magazines can actually only be worn by Read the rest of this entry »

Redefining Tradition – The Vintage Wedding Dress Come back
instead of spending hours fighting with other equally frustrated brides over wedding dresses in designer stores and bridal boutiques, why not take the easy route by going for something a little more unique-a vintage wedding dress perhaps?
Think about it: no more tug-of-wars with other brides when you find a particularly nice gown. No more hours of waiting just so you can fit a wedding dress. With the vintage wedding dress, you have less competition and less hassle.
What Is It?
As tradition would have it, wedding dresses used to be handed down from generation to generation. In a way, you can consider the wedding garb passed from bride to bride as “vintage”.
Today, most brides buy their own wedding dresses instead of opting for their mother’s or grandmother’s dress. There’s more to “vintage” than simply being “old”. When buying a vintage wedding dress, learn the lingo.
In the world of wedding dresses, there’s a small difference between an antique dress and a vintage dress. When you say antique wedding dress, you’re referring to Read the rest of this entry »
