A Wedding dress is a fantasy for all brides to be.This one of the most important “to dos” on a wedding checklist. This can be done at any point of the wedding planning.Early is the best time especially for a choosy bride who wants this and not that. For a bride who knows exactly what is good for her, this can be and exiting task. Otherwise, it could turn out to be such a headache. Am #justsaying. Do not be discouraged though. Am hear to guide you on what to do while buying a wedding dress especially in Kenya.
What to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Dress
Budget for a Wedding Dress
There is always a budget for everything. A wedding gown is one of them and each type of gown and design has a different price tag. You need to make your mind up on what amount to spend to avoid going overboard with your budget.
Having a reasonable price range is the very first step to buying a wedding dress. While searching for your ideal gown, have some money with you for the earlier payments. For local purchases, cash payments are okay though not really advisable. It is more convenient to walk around with a credit card. Unless you already know what to go for and you are just going to purchase it.
Where and When to Buy the Gown
Looking for a gown could be such a daunting task incase you do not know where to get it. There are two major options; you could buy from a local bridal shop or get your gown online. Unless of course you are getting your grandmother’s gown(#kidding).
To be real, purchasing online need a minimum of six months. This is enough time for the attire to be shipped. Included is the allowance for returning it in case there are amendments to be made or you change your mind on the design. Too late could be a bit messy. One funny thing is, disappointments are usually pilled up for the last minute. Should I say…the last minute is satan’s time or what?
If you really not sure of what will be good for you, then pack your bags, get that ticket and hit the road(or air if you are flying). Going a lot has never been a good idea. Having a second opinion will really help big time.Visit different stores and check out different designs before you settle for one.
Design of the Wedding Dress
Having an idea of what you want really helps when choosing a gown for your body type.What you love always precedes what someone else thinks is good for your body. Do not forget that this day comes only once in a life time and you need to put on that wedding dress you’ve always dreamed of.
There are so many different styles to choose from. All the way from the A-line designs, hour glass to the empire designs. Shopping around and trying out these different designs will not only help you make up your mind but also see what is good for you.
With due respect, give more attention to your most “blessed” body parts. You know what I mean. It is better to get a bigger dress that could be resized than getting a smaller one that cannot be increased in size.
Other than that, the design of the dress will greatly depend on the location of the wedding and the weather. For a warm weather destination, then A-line design would be much more suitable than a princess like dress. Get to know your wedding venue and theme then decide on your wedding gown.
We all different and we’ve got different fantasies for our weddings. Take time to plan on how to go about this and for sure you will never miss out on the perfect wedding dress.
