Which wedding dress is right for you? |
Select your style
Your wedding dress should tell the world exactly who you are. After all, this is YOUR day, and your dress is the key way that you share yourself with your wedding guests — and, of course, your husband-to-be.
By now, you've likely given some thought as to what kind of wedding you would like to have: traditional, informal or a theme wedding, perhaps.
For specifics on what's appropriate to wear for each type of wedding, I recommend Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette, which devotes an entire chapter to wedding dress dos and don'ts, or Vera Wang on Weddings, in which Wang shares her vast fashion expertise with you as you plan your wedding.

Here are some general guidelines:
In formal weddings, brides generally wear a long white/cream-colored wedding dress, a veil, perhaps a train and, of course, gloves.
In semi-formal weddings, brides generally wear a long white/cream-colored wedding dress, a veil and gloves if desired.
In informal weddings, brides have more flexibility. They can wear a nice bridal gown of any color — short or long — or a suit.
What about theme weddings? Here you should decide first on the theme and then on the formality of the wedding you've always wanted to have. Then choose the right wedding dress and accessories to match your theme! (For more info on theme weddings, click here.)
NOTE: We have also prepared recommendations on bridal accessories and clothing for your bridal attendants.

How should I select wedding dresses online?
The Internet can be a tremendous help when you're looking for the perfect wedding dress and are on a budget.
And let's face it — most of us do have to keep the bottom line in mind when we plan the most important day of our romantic lives.
After you have given some thought to the type of wedding you want to have, I recommend that you:
—look through bridal magazines and check out your options
—go to local bridal stores and try on wedding gowns. (NOTE: One of the bridal shops I have reviewed also gives you a free telephone consultation and offers you the same level of personal attention of your local stores at reduced prices. Go to the site review now by clicking here.)
—compare the in-store price to the Internet dress stores to find out which is the better deal. Many online stores offer you much lower prices because of their vastly reduced overhead costs!
—purchase the bridal gown you've always dreamed of!
