ADVICE on CHOOSING the BRIDAL DRESS

wedding glasgow wedding suppliers bridal dresses adviceYou may have already have a definite idea of the type of Wedding dress you visualise yourself wearing but you should try on a range of different styles when you go dress shopping, just to see the alternatives!


  • Don't limit yourself to one style until you've actually seen yourself in all the styles - when else will you get the chance to try on such an array of beautiful Bridal dresses.
  • Do arm yourself with some comfy shoes, clothes which are easy to slip on and off, white underwear, preferably a stapless bra, and do fix your hair and put on some make up to give you an idea of how you might look.
  • Do take a pair of heels with you too, around the size of heel you'll probably wear on your Wedding Day to try on with the dress.
  • Do choose only one or two people to go with you dress shopping - too many

  • Do choose someone to go with you whose opinion you trust, and who won't be afraid to tell you a particular dress does not look good on you.
  • Don't listen to the opinions of shop assistants who try to pressurise you into ordering a dress then and there, or who gush with how emotion at how
    wonderful you look when clearly you are busting out of the dress.
  • Don't be swayed to order a dress because a shop assistant tells you that it takes 8 months to order and you're leaving it very late - if you wanted to get married in 4 weeks, they'd find a dress for you!
  • Do sleep on the choice you've made and don't be afraid to return to the shop and try the dress on several times before ordering it - it is a major purchase! If you're made to feel like you are an inconvenience to the shop, take your custom elsewhere - you should be made to feel special from the start of the process to the finish!
  • Do also remember that most dresses will need altered once they have arrived but you are not obliged to use the shop where you are purchasing the dress for alterations. Ask what the charges are for alterations and check out alternatives - you will be very surprised!
    Your local dressmaker can probably do every bit as good a job on the alterations,
    and probably at a more convenient time and location.
  • Once you have found your dream dress, you should turn your attention to accessories: the veil, a tiara, shoes, lingerie and jewellery.
