How to shop for the perfect wedding dress

Judge me not! When it comes to your wedding dress, you shouldn’t care about what the majority thinks but what you and, in some cases, your husband-to-be think. True, the new age women would counteract this and say, “Damn his opinion, it’s my wedding.” While that is relatively true to some, you want a classic dress that, with no doubt, fits you perfectly. You need to dress to impress both yourself and your husband to be. Here are four tips for getting and rocking the perfect wedding dress.

 

1. Dream it, Unleash it

Stop being the obstacle to your own dreams being unleashed. The dress you’ve imagined yourself wearing all these years before you got the ring is not so hard to accomplish. It’s amazing the number of extraordinary fashion designers we have here in Nigeria. Take, for instance, Mai Atafo. He has made a name for himself in the industry as a fashion guru. According to his ex-schoolmate, who insisted on remaining anonymous, he has always been like that.

 

So, while you’ve had the dream of the wedding dress play out in your mind, take the initiative to unleash your desire and bring that dream to life. That’s the word right there, “taking the initiative”.

2. GPS (Get the Perfect Stylist)

You can play on the web all day and order what resembles what you think you want, or you can search for the perfect stylist that will be able to understand your wish. There’s nothing more relieving than knowing your stylist understands what you want well enough to create it the way you want it. It’s hard making the right choice, but it’s always worth it at last.

 

3. Steal the Aisle in Style

Having gotten your stylist and your dress made the way you want it, look forward to the big day. Walking that aisle is no child’s play. You need to be able to walk in that dress, wearing those heels. Some brides usually opt for flat shoes, but most brides prefer heels. There’s something that extra height does to a woman’s stride but, if you don’t fancy it, don’t let your wedding day be your practice ground. You might end up flat on your face, and that’s all people will be talking about — not your jaw-dropping dress.

 

Therefore, learn how to walk in your dress for as long as you want so you can boost your confidence.

 

 

4. End it with a Smile

At the end of the day, what truly matters is that you’re marrying the love of your life. So, don’t leave your smile behind while you take that walk down the aisle.

 

Shoutout to every bride-to-be. I hope that, with these points, you’re convinced that the little voice telling you to follow your heart is not wrong after all.
