Don’t forget about the top of your wedding dress.

People often forget that the top of the dress is what people will remember the most. After all most photographs of your wedding will be from the waist up. Therefore it is more important to focus on the top half more than the bottom.

However, for brides who don’t the traditional path, bridal hats are becoming a more popular wedding statement. Veils also depend on the type of dress you are wearing, obviously they need to match u and look good together.

What are the most common dress mistakes?

The most common mistakes include trying on way too many wedding dresses, the best thing to do is if you love a dress and it is in your budget, get it and have it fitted to completely suit you. Also bringing too many people along when shopping for wedding dresses is a huge mistake, too many people can put you off on and not let you focus. Therefore, it is best to go only with a couple of people, such as your mum and closest friend. Buying a dress to please someone else is also a big no no, you should feel beautiful and comfortable in your dress, and have it completely to match your tastes, not somebody else’s. Another thing that should be avoided is trying to drop two sizes before your final fitting!
