Bridal Wedding Dress Mistakes

You can save a lot of heartache, embarrassment, and money by avoiding the bridal wedding dress mistakes discussed below.

Purchasing an unflattering bridal wedding dress

Although you may think that it can never happen to you, it is possible to walk down the aisle in a rather unflattering bridal wedding dress. It may be a garment that you saw on the Internet and bought without ever fitting or it may be a style error. It is not to say that if a garment looks stunning on a movie star that it will fit your body type. The garment style may be perfect for the hour glass figure and you may have a figure more in the shape of a pear or an apple. Rule of thumb; only select styles that will fit your particular body type and enhance your best features rather than showing off the worst features. You can read our articles to get tips on styles or simply contact us for assistance in selecting the bridal wedding dress style that will help to make you look stunning.

Dry cleaning a beading garment

Dry cleaners cater for most garments, but beaded garments don’t fall into that category. If you send off your bridal wedding dress it is bound to come back with a few beads missing. Compensation won’t help so don’t dry clean a beaded garment before the big event. Keep it clean for a start by hanging it in a safe place out of reach of children, the dogs, your precious cat, and even the hands of family members.

Selecting an uncomfortable bridal wedding dress

One or other time in our lives, we all make the mistake of wearing something stunning that is an absolute dread to walk or sit with, simply because it is so gorgeous. It is not a mistake you want to make with your wedding dress. You will bend during the course of the reception and certainly will have to move around, not mentioning the fact that you will sit and then maybe also dance. As such make sure the dress doesn’t just look amazing, but fits comfortably as well. You don’t want the embarrassment of a garment ripping on the special day or having one that reveals more than you planned. If the garment slips, it means it fits too loose. Make adjustments or go for another style.

Shopping for the perfect dress on your own

You may think that it will fit you perfectly and when looking in the mirror may even convince yourself, but you need a second opinion and that opinion should come from someone that knows you well. That someone should have the heart to tell you when the garment just isn’t for you.

Fitting the tiara wrong

Don’t become the laughing stock of guests by putting the tiara on the wrong way. It should point out and please make sure it isn’t worn in the front of your head.

Working without a budget

Let’s face it ladies – girls love shopping and often overspend. It may be great for the moment, but if you overspend by a few thousand then you may land it hot water with the one who pays for the dress. Even if you pay for it, keep in mind that going over the edge, will not be a wise start to a marriage. As such work out your budget including what you are willing to spend on accessories and adjustments before you start the shopping process.

Wearing unflattering under-garments

Even if the bridal wedding dress is stunning, it can be ruined by under garments that are too small and thus tight, too bulky or simply the wrong colour. The bra is an important under garment and it will be best if you wear a corset type to ensure that you will not have lines showing through your dress.
