The wedding dress… arguably the most important purchase for your big day! Have a read of our DON’TS whilst looking for that perfect dress!

Say no to an entourage!

Yes it’s the most important purchase you’ve ever made, but having 15 different opinions makes it so much harder to decide on that special dress. We recommend your top 3 picks, so usually; mother, sister and best friend.

Don’t try on too many dresses

Avoid trying on more than 10 gowns as you’ll just end up feeling confused! The average is between four and seven, so stick to that!

Early shopping

Longer engagements seem to be the in-thing nowadays, but that doesn’t mean you should shop for your dress more than 12 months in advance! Have everything else in place before you make that big purchase. Do not visit the bridal store until you’re ready to buy.

Get the correct size

No matter what you say, do not purchase a wedding dress based on you losing weight before the big day! Everyone says it. Just play it safe with the correct size. Dresses can be taken in but letting them out one size is a whole other task.
