You've dreamed about it your whole life. The elegant wedding dress that fits you perfectly and makes you look like a princess.

With so many options, where do you start? Here's a simple guide to make sure you find just the right dress for your big day. 

Tip 1 - Look around online to narrow down what you want.

Having even just a rough idea of what you might want before you try on dresses can save you a lot of time and headache.

Tip 2 - Choose your fabric before fit.

This is a contrary to what most people do. But, you should and here is a lit of reasons why we ware suggesting that you do this. 

Tip 3 - Decide on traditional or trendy.

If you decide to go traditional here's some things to think about with pros and cons. If you go trendy, think about these pros and cons.
