My beautiful four foot long train.

Time to pick out that perect dress, but with so many choices how do you decide?

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

With most women, as soon as they put the dress on they just know. With others a decision may be a little more complicated. Start off by doing your research. This will help you get an idea of what's out there.
Step 2

Determine what kind of budget you are on and who will be paying for the dress. This will keep you from trying on a dress that is way over your limit just to end up falling in love with it. In that case if you did, you'd have to cut back in other places to stay in budget.
Step 3

Start shopping around. Take your bridesmaids out with you so you can have several different opinions. You may want to go to more than one place to find the best price and payment option.
Step 4

Always bring your wedding shoes when trying on dresses. This will give you an idea whether or not your dress needs to be hemmed or altered. It will also make sure the shoes look good with the dress.
Step 5

Pick a style and stick with it. This will eliminate hours of trying on dresses with no end result. When you choose a style, be sure it accentuates your body type. If you have large hips; try a ball gown. If you are short; try a mermaid dress.
Step 6

Finally pick it out. Once you have decided on the dress for you, its time to pay for it and take it home. Be sure to take it to the seamstress in ample time if needs altering. Arrange a pick up date a few days before the wedding to make sure it fits the blushing bride!
