How do I know which dress is The One?
The One
No, we are not talking about your fiancé. How does a bride decide between so many gorgeous gowns? It is the one decision you get to make fully for yourself, so we have some tips to help you on your journey to finding the perfect wedding dress for YOU.
Envision it!
Cheesy, yes. But it works! Imagine your venue, time of day, how the weather will feel, who you will be around, what amazing food you’ll enjoy, dancing all evening, and generally how you want to feel! Maybe pull some inspiration images and gather some ideas, but keep an open mind, knowing that your ideas may change when you actually start trying on! Get an idea of budget as well early on, as this will give you guidance on what designers to look at!
Play dress up!
At your Loulette Bride appointment, we do not limit how many dresses you can try, so we highly recommend trying anything and everything! Sparkles, beading, tulle, organza, beaded, bows, simple, over the top, truly everything, because many brides are surprised by what they end up loving! As you go, you’ll definitely get a sense of what’s giving you those YES to the DRESS vibes, and what is a hard pass.
Narrow it down!
Okay, you have tried on anything and everything, so now is the time to narrow it down to 2-4 dresses. At this point, we’d say it is safe to grab some second or third opinions from friends, family, designers, studio manager, your barista, whoever matters to you. These opinions should be taken LIGHTLY as it is YOUR dress and YOUR choice.
Trust your gut!
Feedback is always helpful, especially when it is down to the final 2 or 3 gowns. However, whether your mom wants something more feminine, or your friend loves the plunging V, what matters is what YOU want and what makes you feel incredible. This can be challenging if we get an overload of opinions, so trust yourself, because no one knows you better than you!
Say a big I FUCKING DO to the dress!
When you know, you will just know. You will feel relieved, and you won’t be thinking about other gowns you tried because you KNOW which dress is right for you. Move forward with confidence and excitement, and STOP looking at other dresses! Phew, another thing checked off that wedding to do list. YAY!
