Mother Of The Bride Tips
Be open-minded, when trying gowns on. You may find a style you originally dismissed looks fabulous on you. Remember classic styling endures, try not to be led by trends.
Do not allow pushy sales staff to persuade you something looks great when it doesn't fit you properly. The fit and proportion should be correct for your body shape. Do not compromise, it's your day.
Choose your colour scheme.
When choosing your wedding dress be brave, this dress has to be something very special so don't play too safe and loose that wow factor. But what ever you decide on, always be you xx
If you see an outfit you love, say "yes to the dress". Many designers don't repeat on styles so when sold out, that's it! Be happy to go up a size or two. Occasion wear varies considerably in sizing.
The majority of our outfits are very small made so you are likely to need at least one or two sizes bigger than your normal dress size. You are also likely to require alterations irrespective of size
