Tips for Choosing

• When choosing the dresses you would like to try on,try to choose a variety of styles.Often the dress that you think won’t suit you is the one that you look fabulous in!
• Bring a friend with you who you can trust to give you an honest opinion
• Wear skin coloured, pale pink or cream underwear when you come to try on your dresses.Underwear similar to what you plan to wear on the day is a great idea but we can help with underwear if you haven’t yet planned this.
• Pick out a couple of dresses in sizes either side your regular size as bridalwear often does not fit as regular clothes would.(See our sizing guide)
• Bridal dresses are often sized a size UP from regular high street sizes so don't be disheartened if you are normally a 14 but have to buy a size 16 gown!We're not sure what the designers logic is behind this but its just as well to know as we want buying  a wedding dress to be exciting and fun,not miserable because you end up thinking you're bigger than you really are!
• Most of us need to work to a budget when planning a wedding so when you have decided how much you want to spend on your special dress, put a little of this aside for alterations.It's very rare that you will get a bridal gown that is a perfect fit but by spending some of your budget on  alterations you WILL end up with one that fits you exactly -and nothing looks more flattering than a dress that fits you perfectly!
• Try to match your personality to your dress-If you're a quiet and shy person then a big dress may not be right for you.Equally if you're a larger than life individual then a plain and simple gown may not be the right choice for you either.
• Think about the type of ceremony you are having and which style of dress would best suit this.
