Starting the Gown Search
Before you even step foot into a bridal store, you want to have an idea of what you'd like your dress to look like. For example, I knew going into bridal shops that I wanted an ivory dress (white was too harsh for my skin tone) that was not strapless. Giving the salespeople these parameters definitely cut down the number of "dud dresses" I tried on. However, don't outright discount a dress that the salesperson recommends for your body type. The simple ivory halter-style dress I was handed seemed so "not me," especially because there was a large fabric flower attached to the dress's waist. After trying it on, I fell in love with the silhouette and it was a snap to remove the fabric flower. The best part of all? The dress that the salesperson recommended turned out to be hundreds of dollars less than my original choice.Looking Good in Las Vegas
