Today, designer wedding dresses can be found in bridal boutiques, discount bridal stores, online boutiques and, of course, in designer showrooms. Online auctions generally provide the most discounts for a designer wedding dress. However, while you may save on the cost, you may pay later in aggravation and disappointment.

Furthermore, an online individual seller does not have the expertise to give you guidance beyond the basics – the color and condition of the designer wedding dress. With a bridal section at a department store, bridal consultants and tailors are available to find and fit you in the perfect designer wedding dress. Unfortunately they don t carry extensive stock.

This is also the challenge when you shop with one particular designer. Besides denting your wedding budget with a five or six figure cost, whether you choose one of the designer s off-the-rack or showroom floor wedding dresses, you re limited to what that designer, and only that designer, envisions. This is true even if the designer creates a one-of-a-kind designer wedding dress envisioned” by you.

To avoid these challenges, many brides find the best place to purchase a wedding dress; especially a designer wedding dress is a bridal store with an online website. A bridal store has the personalized bridal consultant assistance.

They also offer a wide variety of wedding dresses from several designers in luxurious fabrics, lace, beading, and embellishments. Most importantly, unlike discount bridal stores, they offer a full range of services and bridal accessories for you, your bridesmaids, and flower girls. They often offer dresses for special occasions and receptions, too.

To choose the perfect designer requires a bit of research, and a sense of your own style.

When the bride wears a wedding dress that fits her season, location, and budget, she is happy. Determine your budget, and any cushion you may have. Then decide when (the season) and where (the location) you will get married. A wool wedding dress on a Bahamian beach during the day in July will make you, and your guests, uncomfortable.

To look like a goddess, the bride must use her intuitive style. A ball gown wedding dress, which consists of a tight fitted bodice with a full skirt, is flattering to almost any body type. An A-line is attractive on full-figured women, or women with heavy hips or thighs or a thick waist.

This body type will also find a dropped or Basque waistline hides lower body flaws. Slim, proportionally balanced women bring pizzazz to a sheath or mermaid wedding styled dress. A sheath dress form-fits from head to toe, while the mermaid dress fits tightly through the bodice, hips, and legs, with a flare at the base.

If your arms are a little heavy or you carry extra weight on your back, add long or three-quarter length sleeves to a shoulder, sweetheart, scoop, tank, or v-neck neckline. If your bust is small, or your body style is pear-shaped, a strapless, halter, and v-neck necklines are the least flattering.

In making your final selection, take trustworthy companions who will tell you which dress suits you best. Also listen to the bridal consultant s opinion. Yes, they want to make a sale, but a reputable bridal shop knows a happy customer creates more happy customers.

Consider not just how you look in the mirror, but also how you feel. After all considerations, go with your gut. It s your day. It should be your choice.
