Your wedding gown style – getting it right

Modern Wedding Posted: July 20, 2012

Your wedding dress is the most luxurious gown you’ll ever buy,  for the one day that you’ll want to look like a perfect princess. Choosing what wedding dress style you choose can be daunting, so much pressure is on this garment to be absolutely right.

Catherine from Catherine R Couture deals with brides every day going through this agony and she has some great advice for you.

Catherine: ” Not every bride has a vision of the wedding gown style they would imagine themselves wearing on their wedding day. For some brides the thought itself can bring feelings of dread or anxiousness.

Your wedding day is a day you look forward to and finding the perfect gown to wear on this day should also be a wonderful experience and not your worst nightmare. With the right assistance and some valuable guidance every bride can be wearing the perfect gown.

Once you have chosen the wedding date you have an idea of the weather (remembering it is always unpredictable no matter what season you have chosen), you then will choose your venue accordingly and this will dictate a little about your personal style. Your love of outdoors or your passion for contemporary elegance will follow through into your choice of gown.

Now you can direct your attention to your gown. If you are a bride who has been dreaming of your wedding gown style since you where a young girl, then it can be an easier process to have it made by a reputable couturier or designer.

If not, then it’s time to do some research and find an amazing designer who can understand your desires, recommend the appropriate fabrics and sketch up ideas and concepts. Look over reviews too – brides are very happy to share their experiences and these can be very useful.

Couture wedding dress- Vivienne

I would like to think that it is something you are excited about so try not to be daunted by it or overwhelmed – it can and will be a fun experience. Remember to be honest with yourself and your designer – she is working to create your dream wedding gown for you.
When you put on a gown and look into the mirror the reflection doesn’t lie – be true to your thoughts and express them, this will avoid any disappointment in the finished gown.

Go forth and create a memorable, amazing experience.”

You will be amazed at how much you will enjoy the couture process, from the sketching, measures, and fittings, right through to the final fitting with accessories.
