By Johanne Piverger - JP Events & Design
Every bride's dream is to walk down the aisle wearing the perfect wedding dress. Whether you already know exactly how you want your gown to look or you have no idea at all, these five tips will serve as the ideal guide for you to find "the one."
1. Set a Realistic Budget for Your Bridal Dress
There are a lot of choices when it comes to your wedding outfit, and it can be overwhelming to select one. Narrow down your options by setting a realistic budget from the start and sticking to it. You can conserve the time and energy you’ll expend in finding the right gown by doing this.
2. Have a Head Start by Starting Early
Starting early on the hunt for the perfect dress will give you an advantage as you won't need to rush your decision. However, it is recommended not to choose too early as you might have a change of heart when your wedding day gets a little closer.
3. Pick the Right Wedding Dress According to Your Style
Picking the right dress for you based on your style can be affected by factors such as your wedding theme, venue, and even your personality. If you still haven't figured out which one fits you best, here are some designs you can choose from:
Classic: Opt for a timeless dress with a simple style, traditional necklines, and less intricacy in texture and design.

4. Choose the Bridal Dress Based on Your Fit
Don't choose your dress based on your preferred size. I suggest focusing on the dress that fits now. It also helps to know which silhouette fits you best. Here are the types of dresses you can choose from based on your form:
A-line: This fits all body types as it hugs you in the right places and can make you appear taller and slimmer.
