Take Inspiration From Celebrity Styles

Even though you may not have a star’s unlimited wedding budget, you can still draw inspiration and help create a vision of what styles you want to replicate in your dress. That could mean Serena Williams’s trendy cape or the classic lace silhouette of Pippa Middleton’s gown.

Stay True to What You Love

It’s easy, especially for people-pleasing brides, to bend in the moment to what gown your mom, sister, or maid of honor loves on you. But it’s crucial that you go with what you love and what feels like your dream dress, regardless of other people’s expectations.

Try on a Non-White Gown

That might mean subtle eggshell or ivory, romantic blush, or even a bold print. It may not be right for you, but a survey showed 14 percent of brides would wear a colored wedding dress. Don’t be afraid to be unique.

Bring Family Heirlooms Shopping With You

If you want to incorporate a family heirloom, like a relative’s veil or a piece of jewelry, into your wedding day look, bring it to all your shopping appointments to find the perfect matching gown.

Target Salons in Your Budget

“You’ll feel you have a wide selection if you choose a salon with lots of options in your budget, rather than feeling like you’re limited to just a few gowns if you shop at a salon where most dresses are out of your range,” Ingram says.

Be 100 Percent Sure Before You Say Yes

“All brides need to know it’s their dress before saying ‘yes.’ When I work with a bride and sense that she is unsure, I encourage her to sleep on it,” Hall says.

Pose for Photos in Various Angles

For a true testament to how you’ll look in your wedding dress on the big day, have a friend or family member take pictures and videos of you while trying dresses on. Make sure that they capture all angles of each dress you’re considering, from the back and sides to shots of you sitting down in the gown from the top up.

Know That Mirrors Can Be Deceiving

Every mirror can make you look different, so that’s why it’s even more important that you rely on photos and videos to get an authentic sneak peek of what you’ll look like in your wedding dress.

Consider How You Feel in the Dress

The gown that makes you feel the most beautiful is the gown you should choose. Even if a gown checks off all of your criteria, keying in on feelings can help you decide between dresses and lead to that magical moment when you’ve finally found “the one.”

Consult Your Peers

If you’re torn between two gowns or are still on the fence about your dream wedding dress, snap a pic and share it with someone close to you. Nothing can help you make a definite dress decision quite like unbiased feedback from real, fellow brides.
