He proposed!
You said yes!
The ring is on your finger, and now the planning begins…
Are you a bride-to-be with a vision ready of what her wedding day will look like since a young girl or the type that has just entered a new world overnight? Either way, purchasing a wedding gown is an emotional experience and can be one of the most significant purchases of a bride's life.
Early on, it is important that the bride and groom discuss their wedding budget. Although it is usually the least appealing topic when planning a wedding, it will help you make realistic choices throughout your wedding planning adventure. Once you have agreed on a budget, discuss what type of wedding style or wedding theme you both would like to portray on your wedding day. Will it be an elegant wedding or an informal beach wedding? Perhaps you may like to have a renaissance wedding or a romantic Valentine wedding affair.
Whatever the dream, selecting the gown is a very critical decision in planning the wedding because the style of the dress will set the tone for the entire affair. The decision will reflect the location chosen for the ceremony and reception and will influence all elements of the event, including the attire for the bridesmaids and attendants, color schemes, types of flowers chosen, and even what kind of invitations will be selected.
Keep in mind that while your wedding dress will help in creating the style of your wedding it is also important that your personality shine as well. After all, it is your and your groom-to-be’s wedding. Additionally, whether trying on a variety of dresses or simply going in for a fitting, if you have family or friends helping out in the purchase of your dress, make sure to include them during these excursions.
Another important aspect, yet often difficult to achieve, is choosing a wedding gown that is comfortable. A wedding gown should be comfortable while walking down the aisle and not be distracting while the ceremony is being performed. During the reception, keep in mind that you will be moving a lot while taking pictures, greeting guests, and dancing the night away with your husband.
Lastly, don’t forget to consider what season it will be during your wedding. Most brides prefer a wedding gown that coincides with the weather. For example, a long sleeve wedding gown may be too warm for a summer wedding, while a strapless dress may be a little less than one would prefer for a winter wedding.
Without some knowledge about the bridal gown industry and advance preparation, the process can be overwhelming and stressful. However, with a little research, purchasing the dress of your dreams can be a wonderful experience that will truly reflect the love you will express on your wedding day.
From all of us at Exclusive Moonlight we congratulate you on your engagement and look forward to having the honor of making your wedding day a dream come true.
