Top five mistakes brides can make when looking for thier wedding dress - darius cordell couture

5. EXPECTING A PERFECT FIT TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR FOR IF A DRESS IS A WINNER OR NOT.  many times the dress off the rack was not made for you whcih is why it may not look good on.  if a dress is made for your body then 9 times out of 10 it will look much better and completely differnt on you.  so figure out what style and cut you like then have it made to your body.

4. TRYING TO PUT TOO MANY IDEALS TOGETHER IN ONE BRIDAL DRESS.  sometimes brides will see so many different styles on designer website links and in the magazines taht they like and it can become overwhelming to them and they begin to not focus on waht they really want.  ask yourself some questions...do i want sleeves, do i want my back out, do I want my bust line to show, etc.... answereing questions like these while you are not lookign at picutres will help you determine what style of dress you want and need as well as like.

3. LETTING OTHER PEOPLES OPINION ABOUT YOUR WEDDING GOWN SWAY WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.  many times the bride wants to please those who will be looking at her (mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and weding party attendants) but instead the bride needs to please herself only.  if the bride feesl good in it and likes what she picks them no one elses opinion matters.

2. TRYING ON TOO MANY BRIDAL GOWNS & WEDDING DRESSES.  sometimes too many options makes it hard for some people to focus and make a decision.  have your criteria already in your head or written down before you go to try on dress.  and dont try on dresses just to be doing it try on only teh dresses taht match or meet your creiteria you will save your sefl time, frustration and the potential of becoming overwhemlmed with too many choices.

1. WAITING TO THE LAST MINUTE TO ORDER YOUR BRIDAL GOWN AND THEN EXPECTING A MIRICLE.  We have seen it happen time and time again where a bride will put off purchasing a dress becuase she wants to lose weight.  this is more pyshological than it is rational.  for in most if not all cases a wedding dress is going to have to be altered down right before the wedding event anyway.  sometimes brides will focus too much on losing weight and not what is really important.  and then after months of tryng to lose weight they order late and then add teh stress of wondering if it will get in on time etc.  rush orders only casue problems and stress for all involved.  so it is always better to order your wedding at the very least 6 months before your wear date.  Then if you lose the weight you can alway have it taken in which is much better than not haveing a dress on your wear date.  always allow ample time for production, in some cases shipping , tailoring, picuteres and any modifications or cahnges that you may ultimately want to your bridal gown.
