Wedding Dresses: What Not to Wear

You have an appointment with the man of your dreams? The only thing that is also one of the many things that you need to do to finish is the perfect choice of dress. If you need help with that you have read the wrong article. This advice is to provide you with the selection of the wrong wedding. Here are some practical ideas to keep you from a very expensive mistake (no, I am not talking about your fiance).

1. It's Gotta fit. This may seem obvious to you, but many brides swear they are a size six and cram their bodies into dresses much too small for them. This unvarnished approach to wedding shopping can be for bad pictures, not to mention discomfort on your big day.

2. Style is a must. Not every woman has the desire, with the latest wedding fashions, but there are some definite no-nos. Stay away from halters, giant Puffy sleeves, and mermaid style skirts (tight around the hips and knees and flared at the ankles). Also any clothing, you saw a wedding more than 5 years.

3. Consider the setting. Do not select a dress for another wedding, even if it's your dream, because you have a little girl. Long dresses should not be worn at a wedding outdoors in August. (I knew a bride who once was, and a ziploc bag of ice down the back of her dress) Conversely, do not choose a sleeveless dress for an outdoor reception in November. (Even the bride who did so in the wicked witch of the West during pictures) Lastly, and this is a little known fact, not wearing a lot of tulle for an outdoor event. This I have learned personally. The fabric attracts bees like crazy. I had the flying pests in all between 12 layers of my tulle skirt.

4. Love it. You do not buy a dress that you do not necessarily love. You only get one chance that you have a perfect day. The choice of the cheapest or the most sensible, or even what your best friend, like most people do not cut it for your wedding. If you do not love it, leave it.

Hopefully this advice will you make a mistake when it comes to your wedding dress. This is one of the few elements of planning a wedding is that almost entirely in your control. You can use flowers in silk instead of fresh. Perhaps your invitations spell your parents names "Joan and Jill." Maybe your caterer had a death in the family. Well, you do not need all these things happen. At least, probably not. But at least you have not a bad dress.
