The wedding day is one of the most important days in one’s life. When it comes to your big day, you see everything messing up and creating a nuisance.
Well, your excitement is absolutely natural, but that does not mean you will end up compromising on your wedding shopping! Girl, don’t panic. Chalk out your schedule and things will fall into places.
Selecting your wedding dress needs both effort and time. You will have to keep in mind a number of things before you narrow down your choice to one.
There are plenty of choices for you to skim through, so hold your patience and get started. Here are a few guidelines for you to go through before you buy your wedding dress.
Step 1: Open your mind
We all have some criteria in mind before we select our wedding dress. Naturally, it is going to be a lifetime asset. But, we should also keep in mind that things don’t always go according to our desires. So, never reject an option just because it does not befit one criteria of yours.
Keep your mind clear and prepared, cause you might have to choose things which were never on your list.
Step 2: No extra folks
Your wedding is exciting for your whole family we know. Your friends, family, neighbours everybody is curious to know your wedding plans and shopping. But. But. But. You are not going to let everyone follow you to the shops and confuse you with varied opinions.
I mean I truly respect their choices and opinions; also you need people to accompany you, but you cannot take the full battalion with you. Cut down your choice to a selective two or three of your friends or family members.
Step 3: Hold on, there’s still time
If your wedding is a year away, why would you start shopping now on? Do not panic. You won’t lose anything, but yes, if you shop too early you might lose some new trends. Thus, it is better to shop 3 months from the date. In which, you will not miss out the latest trends and also you will have time to plan things accordingly.
Step 4: Chalk your budget
How would you feel if you are absolutely in love with a wedding dress which you can’t afford? Heartbroken, right? Well, that is the reason why I advise you to plan your budget beforehand. You simply cannot spend all your funds on a wedding dress!
You have other expenses to manage as well. So, if your expense is planned, you will never be on the wrong track. Step 5: Lock it down
Once if you have selected a particular dress and if it falls into all your criterion, stop searching further. If you think you will find better options, well you won’t. Rather, you might also lose the one that was nearest to your choice.
Step 6: Experiment
It is not just a lehenga that you will be choosing for your big day. There are so many pre and post wedding rituals that you have to partake. While, you keep a traditional lehenga for the wedding ceremony, you can very well experiment with various other trends that are in vogue now.
Step 7: Colors
Mostly brides tend to choose traditional colors for their wedding lehenga. But no more, there are so many pretty colors to choose from. You can even choose your favourite color. Pastels are highly in fashion now, also colors like wine, marsala and cobalt blue. Choose your colors matching your skin color and just rock the party.
Step 8: Details
Apart from the color, the designing of your lehenga also matters. Keep a watch on the details that have been weaved in your lehenga. Don’t forget the detailing will enhance the wow factor for your wedding dress.
Step 9: Comfort & ease
Comfort first darling, whatever you choose be sure that it is comfortable. Think practical, you will be wearing your wedding dress for a long time so you cannot just blindly choose anything. Think twice before you pin down one.
Step 10: Be real
Before you even go for buying your wedding dress, ask yourself what you want. You might often plan to buy dresses which your favourite superstar had worn or your best friend or even your neighbour. Don’t do that, what suits your best friend does not necessarily mean will suit you as well. Thus, it is very important to create the style statement which suits your personality.
