Every woman, whether spending €500 or €10,000, will know that their wedding dress is the most important dress of their life. Here are a few tips to help choose the right dress for your dream wedding in Malta:
1. Be realistic about your budget:
If you have a smaller budget for your wedding but want a big dress and can’t afford the higher quality, there is no room for cheating.
Smaller dresses can still be beautifully made, rather than having a dress that looks bigger but just as cheap. A perfect fit is more important than anything else.
2. Less is more:
Your dress will dictate your style of makeup and what you do with your hair. This is why when it comes to accessories and add-ons for your wedding dress, less is definitely more.
Bling can dominate, but a hairstyle can be improved with even the most subtle of adornments. Getting this right is like a fine art, but when perfected is one of the best assets to any bride.
3. Listen to your heart, not to your mother:
Anyone in the wedding dress business will tell you that a good wedding dress decision is one that focuses on what the bride wants, not their mother or aunt or anyone else around to see.
The shop assistant can’t really intervene in family matters, but they should be the ones to whisper support into the bride’s ear and remind her that it is her day and it’s all about what she wants.
4. Don’t build the wedding around your dress:
Think about the occasion at hand, firstly.
Start with the kind of wedding you’re having and work backwards towards your dream wedding dress.
5. Don’t build your marriage around your dress:
If there are women who pick their gown first and then think about everything else later, then there are just as many women thinking about their dress, then their wedding day and then their marriage.
Naturally, the choice of groom ought to be one of the more important decisions beforehand – but you’d be surprised at how many women don’t think this to be the case!
