This article consists of  a few steps that can make your quest for an ideal wedding dress trouble-free.

Basically the dress of your dreams just like the man of your dreams should make you happy, comfortable and at ease.

Here are a few steps that can help you.

1. Start Early

Do not go hell for leather in a quest for a wedding dress. You may crash land. Start in good time. No rush. Set aside adequate time for trying on dresses, adjustments, fittings and selection of accessories to go with your dress.

It is wise to take your preferred accessories with you while shopping for your wedding dress. This would help you to know what jewelry goes with what dress to avoid surprises or disappointment on the D-day.

2.  Be Deliberate

If you are uncertain about what you really want you’d find it pretty hard settling for something in the end.

Screenshot/save styles that catch your fancy on Instagram (especially). Also, create a Pinterest board to save designs. This would make it easier for you when you go shopping. Best to have something in mind before visiting the stores.

3. Comfort

Like it was stated on the first paragraph, you should feel at ease in your wedding dress just the way your Mr. right makes you feel at ease.

Hence, pick a dress that makes you look like a queen and still lets you breathe. A dress that speaks of your personality.

Find a pattern that flatters your figure. If tall, choose a dress that will magnify your curves. If short,  dresses with too many layers will swallow you up and make you look smaller. Stay away.

For curvy ladies, tight fitting dresses are just right to accentuate your curves.

4. Don’t Ride Solo

Too many cooks definitely spoil the broth still no man is an island. As much as it is not advised to go wedding dress shopping with so many people you should go with at least one person ( a bosom friend or trusted family member) to help make  a decision.

5. Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

Do not be too excited after sighting a dress on its hanger until you have tried it on. Assumptions are a no-no when choosing an ideal dress. Most designs  may look exquisite until you have tried them on.

6. Budget

Go with what suits your budget. Do not go above it. You do not want to go bankrupt after your wedding.

It may be the dress of your dreams et al but do not forget to consider your budget. This is very important.

After making that ideal choice, you can now heave a sigh of relief. Grace your wedding like a queen and slay in that dress!
