Leave The Crowd

Day 2 of the new blog!


I am continueing the dress disscussion.


Picking out a dress for your big day is a difficult and wonderful experience that is meant to be shared. If you watch Say Yes To The Dress, you have seen the amount of people brides bring with them. Here's the thing. It's not always a good idea to take a large number of people with you to the Bridal Salon to pick out your dress. In fact it's encourged. Why? Because so many people means so many opinons and so many opions will turn a memorable day into a stressful day. Here's my advice.

1. Bring people who know you best.
bring the people who know you best and knows what you are looking for and what your tastes are and will encourage you. Bringing a large crowd can garentee at least two people who will want you in something they can see you in.

2.The number of people.
Bring at the most 5 close people with you. You'll still have that group feeling but with people who will help you look for the dress of your dreams, give you advice. Just tell everybody else that you'll show them the dress as a surprise. gives them something to look forward to.

3.Who to bring?
Here's my list.
(1) Mom. Mom's know their little girls better then your best friend. She's raised you and knows what you like. Even she wants to see her baby girl in a big ball gown, but you want a mermaid style. She'll be happy with whatever makes you happy.
(2) Grandma. She's another woman who has been in your life since day one.
(3) Sisters. Sisters are your built in friends. They know you best.
(4) Maid/Matron of honor. There's a reason why you chose this girl to stand next to you in the honor spot of your wedding. She's helping you out,but she can also give you an ear when everybody is telling you their opinions.

4. Stay true to your style! Even if you take a whole bunch of people, don't let others sway to their way of thinking. Your the one wearing the dress not them.

Here's another tip for you; know ahead of time what you are looking for. Look at different dresses and take note of everything that catches your eye such as style,and beading or lace. Different fabrics. It will make the dress hunting easier not just for you but for bridal salons, because they have ideas to go with and will be able to help you find that perfect dress. =)
