How to bag the perfect wedding dress without breaking the one shoulder ruffle dress bank
Most little girls dream of getting married and we women are no different when we grow up. We still have that picture in our mind of how our big day is going to be. You imagine walking down the aisle in the perfect wedding dress, looking just like a princess. Wearing a sophisticated tiara or hairpiece, and holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Everything is just perfect, and money is not a thought that enters your head.
Now your dream becomes reality and youe gotten engaged and are beginning to plan the perfect day. Except when you do start you soon realise that the reality is that funds are not endless and you have to work within a inexpensive party dresses budget. That budget must cover so much, fees for rental of your ceremony and reception site, decorations, catering/food, bar, flowers, music, photography, video, marriage license, invitations, wedding rings, transportation, honeymoon, attendants, gifts, guest wedding favors, and a myriad of other miscellaneous costs. So how much is then left for your wedding attire. A dress for you, your bridesmaids, flower girls and of course the men's wear..
Not many of us have the luxury of spending over ?000 on a designer dress and even one shoulder maxi dresses if you could you might prefer to allocate less towards the dress and use a larger portion of your budget for a more elaborate honeymoon or reception party.
Whether or not you are working to budget everyone enjoys the feeling of accomplishment when locating and acquiring a bargain. These days it's not so hard to simple bridal dresses come across a bargain with little effort.
The best way to start is to have a look in some bridal shops. You may not have the intention of buying from them but you can certainly establish the style, size, and cut of the kind of dress you are going for.
Make notes of what kinds of styles and colours you like the best. Sometimes you find a style in a magazine and when you try it on you find it isn't really how you imagined and it doesn flatter your shape the way you expected. Bridal gown sizes can come up smaller than your usual size so the best thing to do is to go by your measurements and ask dressmakers for the bust, waist and hip sizes that make up the size in general. Some bridal shops don't keep the manufacturers labels on and instead re-label and price with their own internal tagging system (many salons do this to avoid "competitive shopping" and price comparisons). The shop should tell you the name of the designer or manufacturer if you ask.
Once you have got an idea of the styles you like and the size you need, then you can begin searching for your gown and accessories. It best to purchase your dress before shopping for accessories. Certain elements of the dress will help you choose the best accessories to match.
When you start looking for a gown it is better to find a dress that either fits perfectly or is just a little bit big. Because of the delicate fabrics making alterations can be done easily if the dress needs "taking in" but to "let it out" can be quite tricky. Most gown designers always allow about an inch or slightly less for seem allowance. If a gown is very tricky to alter this will reflect in the price of the alteration. So remember your dress budget needs to be for the dress its self and any alterations needed.
Choosing the Right Wedding Dress
When I was shopping for wedding dresses there we definitely things I wish I would have know! So here is a short article on finding the perfect wedding dress and type of wedding dress cuts work best for your body type.
Most brides are so busy with which wedding invitations they should use, what their wedding vows should be and or taste testing wedding cakes that they never take time to read up on what kind of dress would work best for them. This actually really helps the dress shopping along.
If you know what designs look best on you this will avoid picking out wedding dresses that will accent that 10 extra pounds you just couldn't lose. I do not recommend buying a dress a size or two too small. It is much easier to take a gown in than it is to let it out and since most bridal gowns can not be returned you don't want to end up having to buy a wedding gown in hurry! Having to drop a bunch of weight before your wedding does nothing but put more stress on you. Planning your wedding is by far one of the most stressful times in you life! If you do chose to lose weight before your wedding in hopes to look extra fantastic in your wedding dress I recommend some sort of program to help you stay on task. Here are some of the most common styles for wedding gowns.
If you are looking for a basic gown that will go well on any bride I recommend the A-line: This slightly flared gown offers long white dress a slim shape with a gradually widened hem. This silhouette is considered flattering on all body types.
If you are trying to hide hips, buttocks, or legs and to highlight your upper body I would recommend a ball gown. These wedding dresses have a fitted, corset-type bodice and a dramatically full skirt, this gown might feature a natural waistline, Basque, or dropped.
If you have medium to large busts and a less than perfect waistline I recommend The Empire. The upper body is the focal point with this high-waisted silhouette, which offers a snug fit around your bosom and a skirt that cascades into a gentle column. This is usually a long, slim wedding dress with a variety of necklines. It can be sleeveless, or with capped, or short sleeves. If you are just all over curvy I would recommend the Mermaid or Trumpet. Its A body-hugging sheath that flares at or below the knee to create a fluttering hemline. The hemline ranges anywhere from a gentle flare to one that is dramatic.
Well toned Bride? How about a Sheath? Simple and sophisticated, follows the body's curves from top to bottom. Some sheaths are bias-cut which causes them to clings but with a tone body this is just this bride-to-be may be looking for!
Happy wedding dress shopping!
