1. Start ASAP. You need to allow for at least 6-8 months for dress shopping, because most gowns are made to order, so the sooner you start, the better!
2. Assess your style: build a picture of what you want, consider your date, venue and what flatters your figure.
3. Bridal kit; pack heels, neutral underwear and a true friend.
4. Make an appointment; this will avoid you being at the boutique/atelier when it is super busy, which can be nerve- wracking…
5. Stay open-minded; a dress may look better on you than you than on a hanger, listen to the wedding stylists and try on their suggestions, you may be surprised!
