Read Tips and Advice on Finding Your Wedding Dress and other Wedding Attire from Wedding Dress Professionals
Be Bold
When choosing your bridesmaid dresses, opt for a great saturated color. Pastel colors often make the bridal party appear washed out in photographs. Instead, pair a vibrant colored dress with a contrasting bouquet for a dramatic effect.

Options for Flower Girl Dresses
Believe it or not, Easter dresses make excellent flower girl dresses. Arriving in department stores around February, Easter dresses come in a wide variety of colors and sizes and cost much less than dresses at bridal shops.

Flatter Your Figure
When shopping your your wedding dress - make sure to choose a dress that flatters your figure. Many brides have an idea in mind that may or may not suit their body type. For instance, although strapless wedding dresses are the current trend, this style is not universally flattering on all brides. Adding spaghetti straps is often a better look for certain body types

A Perfect Fit
When going in for gown fittings, bring the undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day. A different bra can affect the fit of the gown, while special lacey undergarments may show through or create bumps. Since many brides will either gain or lose weight due to the excitement leading up to the wedding day, be sure to arrange a final fitting one week prior to the day to ensure a perfect fit.
