1) Be open minded with some boundaries on what you
want. Try on many different styles. We know from experience that
approximately 70% of brides change their mind completely when they
finally choose "THE ONE".

2) Make an appointment to try on gowns. It allows
a shop to schedule better and accommodate their customers better.

3) Bring to your appointment only your favorite 2
or 3 people. Most shops do not have space when they are busy for any
more than that for each bride who is shopping at the same time. Also
it can be very confusing for you.

4) Many designers gowns are sized smaller than
your regular clothes.  It is just a number and many times after the gown has
some minor alterations it is not the original size anymore. Do not be upset by this.

5) Our consultants have many years of experience
and they have your best interest at heart. They always want to se  those
happy tears and smiles, when they help you find and choose your
perfect gown.

6) Once you have found the dress STOP shopping and
trying on. It will only confuse you and waste time. Remember you know
in your heart which gown makes you feel beauitful and special.  You know, just like you knew the moment you fell in love and knew he was the
ONE.

7)To order most wedding gowns takes 5-6 months.
Some can be ordered on rushes and you pay extra for that, however it cuts
down on the shipping time and you are looking at delivery of 5-10
weeks.

Your body type will play a big part in what style looks good
on you. 

Pear shaped– Pear shape is a figur that is
smaller on the top and fuller on the bottom.  Surprisingly one of the most recommended
styles for a pear shape is the ball gown, because it will
minimize the hips and bring focus to the small upper bodice.  A pear shaped figure should stay  away from a sheath gown.

Broad shoulders–These brides should choose a gown
that has spaghetti straps or a scoop neckline which to the eye
shortens the width of the shoulders. A drop waist will also elongate the
bodice and narrow the shoulders.  Off the shoulder is not a good look for most of the broader shoulder bride.

Short/Petite–This bride should stay away for a
gown that is overwhelming to their frame. Ususally a full ball
gown is too musch and may swallow up the bride. Too much beading can
also be too much for the petite bride to wear well. Modified A-line or
Princess A-line with a natural waist willbring good balance to a smaller
frame.

Tall/Thin–This bride looks great in a sheath gown
or mermaid also a trumpet skirt. . This shows off her figure. To get
balance for along waist tall girl a ball gown works very well. Do
not leave out the drop waist with any style of skirt.

Hourglass figure– are the brides that have curves
like an hourglass. A sweetheartneckline will accent the bodice if it covers
enough of the full bust. You can not go wrong with an A-line gown of any
type.  A drop waist with other correct design elements will look great.

Thick waist–This bride will almost always be
flattered by an empire waist gown. This bride can usually wera the rouched waist and the asymeterical waist works good with the rouching
also.
