The search for my wedding dress successfully ended this weekend (with lots of smiles and a few shrills!) when I found the one. It finally feels official, I am getting married! And while I can't give away any details about what my dress actually looks like (besides the fact that it is white) because the fiance reads my blog ... I have compiled a list of helpful tips for brides to be in search of the perfect dress.
1. Have an open mind when dress shopping. You never know what styles will look best on and don't be afraid to try on dresses you wouldn't normally choose.
2. Know your personal style and make sure to give your bridal assistant a clear image of what your style is / the theme of your wedding.
3. Shower, shave and wear the proper undergarments to your appointments.
4. Bring along your mom, sister, best friend etc. It's important to have a second and third opinion but make sure they don't talk you into a style you're not fond of.
5. Practice walking, sitting, jumping and DANCING in your dress, as you will definitely be doing all of these on your wedding day!
6. What they say is true, you'll know it's the dress when you don't want to take it off.

Congrats! I ADORE the shoes...i bet it was such fun! i went with one of my friends who is getting married next July. It was so nice to have that time with her!
so SO excited for you! i know whatever you picked is just BEAUTIOUS!
you got taste girl...and class...and you're pretty...so yea! you're pretty much the perfect bride-to-be!
ps. are those the shoes???
@bananas, aw you're so sweet! and i haven't decided on my shoes yet!!
yay!!! congrats on finding THE dress. :) i tried on some pretty awful dresses because of very unhelpful salesladies. you're so right about having a friend there. i actually had my fiance (gasp!) who was very helpful about saying, "you would never wear that cut." he was more helpful than anyone to keep me on track with the style that's right for me. and he never saw my real dress in person, just a picture, so don't worry. :)
Oooh another bride-to-be. How fun. Planning a wedding is so fun! Being married is even better. :) Congratulations on finding your dress. That was one of the first things I shopped for. I wore mine through the ceremony AND reception AND after party. I just didn't want to take it off.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm a new follower.
love the shoes :)
