Time

Give yourself plenty of time to find the perfect dress; you don't want to be limited by timing. With that said, there is such a thing as too much time; start shopping around 10 months in advance to get a feel for what you love, and plan to place your order approximately 7-8 months before the wedding date.

Personal Style

Choose a gown based on hhow you feel wearing it rather than trends and Follow your instincts; women look their best when they feel comfortable and confident.make sure to stay true to your personal style and frame.

Keep an open Mind

Keep an open mind; start by trying on all the silhouettes to see what looks best. Don't be convinced something is unflattering until you try it on; you may be surprised by what you think will and won't work.

Take a small but trusted group shopping

Skip the large entourage when shopping and limit the outside influences. Less is more; ultimately, how you look and feel in your wedding dress is your decision to make.
