Almost every girl in the world has dreamed about her wedding since childhood. That’s why shopping for a wedding dress is a very special and emotional process with an unforgettable vibe. However, sometimes it happens that instead of being enjoyable and smooth shopping for a wedding dress turns out to be a real nightmare. Of course, there are some circumstances that we can’t impact on. Nevertheless, a lot of challenges could be avoided with the correct approach. So let’s dive deep into common mistakes to avoid when shopping for your wedding dress!
1. Placing beauty and style beyond your comfort
All the brides want to look gorgeous, trendy, and stylish on their special day. It’s ok. At the same time, you should keep in mind that you will wear a bride gown at least for several hours. Moreover, you’ll have to conduct a lot of actions: walking, dancing, photo shooting, spending time with your guests etc. You should not feel any restrictions in movement, rubbing or itching from the fabric. That’s why compromising on comfort is always a bad idea.
First of all, we recommend placing a special focus on the wedding dress silhouette. It shouldn’t be too tight or too voluminous or even giant (especially when it comes to mermaid wedding dresses or ball gowns). The chosen silhouette should fit your body type perfectly to emphasize your benefits and hide some imperfections.
Secondly, choose breathable high-quality fabrics, especially if your celebration will take place in the warm season. That’s important to prevent overheating and irritations of your sensitive skin.
And last but not least: don’t be shy to test the dress in motion during your fitting process. Try walking, sitting, raising your arms and legs, and even dancing.

2. Not taking into account the overall theme of your celebration
Why do some celebrations create such long-lasting positive impressions? Because they are well-thought-out and united by consistent common concepts. So if your goal is to look harmoniously in your wedding atmosphere, you should think carefully of the style, theme, and venue of your celebration. Based on this you should choose your wedding gown. Are you going to have a classic cathedral ceremony? Then opt for an exquisite graceful dress with voluminous skirt, long veil or train that will emphasize your nobility and luxurious sense of beauty. Are you planning a cozy beach party with close relatives and friends? Make sure that your dress is appropriate for hot weather and will be comfortable to wear in outside conditions (hot weather, wind, sand, water etc). Opt for lightweight fabrics and add floral elements to highlight your harmony with nature.
3. Not shopping on time
It’s obvious that last-minute shopping is a bad idea when it comes to your wedding preparations. Firstly, it’s extremely stressful. Secondly, you’ll not have enough time and opportunities to discover all the brands and their special offers, compare their price-quality ratio. You’ll have to try on dresses in a hurry, so there is a risk to opt for the one that will be not comfortable for you. Even if you will have an opportunity to make some alterations, rush fees could be expensive enough.
On the other hand, shopping too early (1-1,5 years before your wedding day) is not so risky. However, trends and fashion are changeable, so you may switch your preferences and find your dress not stylish enough. Also, you may have some body and weight changes, so you’ll need to conduct additional adjustments.
As our experience shows, the optimal time for wedding dress shopping is 8-9 months before your celebration.
4. Not setting a realistic budget
Maybe, you’ll be surprised to hear, but the wedding dress cost can vary significantly based on many factors. You should keep in mind that the final cost depends on the chosen fabrics and embellishments, the number and complexity of alterations, fees for shipping etc. Ask the consultant in the bridal dress shop to calculate all the possible expenditure and offer you several variants of dresses within your means.
5. Involving too many people in the decision-making process
A fresh perspective from someone you can trust and rely on can be quite valuable and bring you a lot of insights. That’s why brides-to-be invite 1-2 close people (mother, sister, bestie etc) to help make a final decision. However, having with you a crowd of people will cause a reverse effect as you may feel confused and it’ll be hard to focus on your own preferences, feelings, and intuition. Also even if you don’t have any companion with you, a bridal consultant will provide you with expert recommendations that will help you choose the perfect dress.
