Tip number three: Try them all on! I loved this part…parading down the rail picking out anything and everything! My Bridal Assistant must have thought I was nuts but I was determined to ensure I had tried on every style! I must have tried on around 20 in that first shop! I thought I had a rough idea of what I wanted but I wanted the full experience so I picked out all sorts and I am SO glad I did because I ended up with a dress I would never have thought I wanted! She hung them all up in front of me and said “Right, which one are you most unsure about, let’s try that first…” So I picked out one and said: “I’m pretty sure I won’t like this” … And that was it! The first one I tried on was the one! But I carried on and tried on the rest of the mass collection just to make sure! And I’m so glad I did. To this day my advice would be to try on as many different styles as possible, even if you do return to the first one. That way when you are looking through magazines or watching yet more episodes of “Say Yes to the Dress” you don’t have that awful feeling of “Oh I wonder what I would look like in that style?” Or “Aw I wish I had tried on one like that” Obviously, there may be unavoidable moments like that but the more you have tried and tested the happy you will feel about your final choice for sure.
