Here are some wonderful thoughts for you to make your dream dress into a stunning reality.

1. Budget
Create a budget and allow wriggle room of at least 10-15%.

2. Designer style & philosophy
Check the designer and learn about the aesthetic and style of that particular designer and see how that fits in with your ceremony and reception plans. I think meaning to gowns is very important so check on the philosophy of each designer and the meaning behind the gown.

3. Style suitability and your comfort level
Initially when trying on gowns always bring it back to where the ceremony and reception are and what you feel is appropriate for those locations.

4. Construction
The fit of your gown is very much dependent on good construction. Check for boning, the finishes of seams for smoothness and inner corsetry for excellent fit.

5. Fabric
Understand the wearability of the fabric that you are looking at and be aware that pure silk without any mix can tend to wrinkle a little bit more than if your gown is a mixture of silk and man-made fibre. Tulle and organza can be quite durable when pre-steamed well and shantung with lace can drape over the body beautifully.

6. Veils
I love veils and they are the new cathedral length train. Floor length veils add ceremony and romance and enable the bride to opt for a sweep train on the dress that is far more easily able to bustle for the reception.

7. Blushers
Longer blushers are showing a comeback and are extremely popular in Europe and allows for the bouquet to be held underneath the blusher for maximum red carpet aisle impact.

8. Less is more
There is a real trend for brides to wear far less jewellery opting for some beautiful earrings and no necklace at all especially when there is a strapless gown as a neckline.

9. Beaded belts
When wearing a slim line gown a beaded belt becomes a brilliant way to add to your look and elongate your sillouhette. The fact that most beaded belts are removable really adds to the versatility and practicality of your look!

10. Enjoy your gown
When choosing your gown make sure that you feel " you " in the gown and feel comfortable and beautiful. Listen to your heart and love your gown. That feeling of elation shines through and that adds to your glamour in a priceless way!
