Walking down the aisle in your wedding dress is one of the most anticipated and long-awaited moments of your Williamsburg wedding. Of course your groom has been patiently (or not so patiently!) waiting to see you in your dream dress, but so have the family and friends who have come to celebrate your special day.
More than any other single piece of wedding attire, the wedding dress you choose is the culmination of a lifetime of hopes and dreams. Since you were a little girl you have probably imagined the perfect wedding, and the type of wedding dress that you would wear. Even as your all-pink princess phase evolved into the grown-up style of a mature young woman, you may still have that little voice inside you that keeps urging you to find ‘the perfect one’!
Wedding dress styles are as unique and diverse as the brides who wear them, from the over-the-top traditional ball gown Princess Diana wore in 1981, to the ultra-chic Oscar de la Renta original recently worn by Jenna Bush. There are nearly as many wedding dress styles as there are brides, so get started, take your time and have some fun!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re shopping for your wedding dress:
- Body Type: Find the wedding dress style that best suits your figure. Begin with a trip to a local Williamsburg bridal shop, where the experts can assist you in determining what style will best flatter all of your most lovely attributes!
- Color: If you aren’t a big fan of wearing white, fear not! There are many soft and lovely colors found in today’s wedding dress lineup that will flatter your skin tone without being overwhelming.
- Comfort is #1: Plan to have fun at your Williamsburg wedding reception, and choose a style and length that are in keeping with your personality! Plan on doing your own version of the Macarena? Square dancing? You might want to consider something a little less restricting than a heavy floor-length satin with a hefty bustle!
- Cost: No matter what your budget, there are plenty of great locations for scouting out the most gorgeous gowns at the best prices! Browse your local thrift stores, attend the local bridal shows, or consider one of the many stunning off-white bridesmaids dresses that are available.
It takes time and patience to find just the right wedding dress. You may end up trying a few dozen before you find the right one! How will you know you found it? When you put it on and turn to the mirror and everything is… exactly, perfectly right.
