- To veil ... or not to veil? Don't get caught up in a big veil. It should not over shadow your gown. It should rather compliment your style of dress.
- Start shopping for your wedding dress well in advance. Browse through wedding magazines, on the Internet and go and fit some dresses to see which style compliments your figure
- Buy / hire the best gown you can afford. It should not cost more the 10% of the total budget for your wedding
- Go for a gown which is comfortable. You want to be able to move around at the reception, especially when the dancing starts.
- When receiving the quote for your gown from the designer, make sure you understand what is all included. Your dress should be in your possession nothing less that one week before the wedding
- Discuss your veil, shoes and accessories with your designer when planning your gown
- Do keep in mind the season in which you are getting married - for winter something warmer around the shoulders can come in handy. When it's the raining season, a white 'bridal' umbrella can prolong your hair and make-up, funky gum boots will keep you from messing up beautiful bridal shoes. Both these items can be great props for your photographs
