- Set yourself a budget
Be realistic and keep within your budget. Order ahead of time
Don't fix an idea in your mind
Use magazines for inspiration only. A bride should go for an outfit that reflects her own personality. You'll only find what's really right for you by trying on the dresses.
Do your own thing
When you have this huge decision to make, you'll feel you should get advice from everyone. But don't get confused.
Get a point of view
Take a friend/relative along with you whose opinion you know will be honest. But ultimately, you should rely on your own instincts.
The golden advice for choosing your outfit is to keep an open mind, because choosing a wedding outfit is inevitably so exciting, nine out of ten brides come in with preconceived ideas, but leave, having found an outfit that's completely different.
Go with your gut feelings
Ultimately, trust yourself.
Shop till you drop
All you have to do now is enjoy the experience. And you will; you'll love it. This is shopping like you've never experienced before.
