Congratulations! Your wedding date has been set, the banquet hall booked and the bridal party chosen. The next thing on your list? Finding the perfect dress. But where do you start? There’s so many to choose from: a-line, asymmetrical, empire, v-neck, strapless, spaghetti, sleeves, no sleeves…how is a girl to choose just one?! Toronto-based bridal designer Adele Wechsler, renown for her chic, feminine and modern designs, says when shopping, there are two magic things to keep in mind to help you find the perfect dress.
1. This is your day. Select your gown to reflect your tastes and what you are all about. Don’t take too many well-intentioned friends and family members shopping with you. While they might mean well, can also cause confusion, indecision and—ultimately—steer you away from making the right decision. Limit your advisors to one or two people you love and most of all, trust.
2. Comfort is key. To look happy and radiant, you have to feel happy and radiant. Inspect the quality of the gown and ensure it feels good when you have it on. Be conscious of the weight of the fabric when you move in it and how comfortable your body feels against the cloth and finish. Comfort equals happiness which equals a super-radiant bride!
