The wedding day is an important yet remarkable day of every individual’s life, especially for women. While shopping for the Wedding dress, every woman tends to make common mistakes and it becomes an obstacle for finding the perfect and gorgeous wedding dress.

Therefore, here’s the list of the 10 common mistakes which should be avoided while shopping for the wedding dress and make your grand and alluring appearance on your wedding day.

    1. AVOID DELAYED SHOPPING
      Your wedding day is so close, and haven’t started with your shopping yet? To find the perfect and beautiful wedding dress, it’s extremely crucial to start the shopping for the wedding dress prior to the wedding date, at least 10 months before (in case you aren’t willing to purchase readymade dress).

      If you start shopping early for the dress, you will get many options to discover, enough time to ponder over the designs and patterns you need on the dress and most importantly, you will save money or extra charges which are usually incurred at the last moment fittings and alterations.

    2. DON’T BRING TOO MANY GROUPIES/COMPANIONS
      While going for shopping for your bridal dress, make sure that you don’t go with the negative and jealous people. Keep the group of friends or family small, but they should be honest, understand your style and helpful in choosing the best wedding dress for your special day.


      If you are taking a group of people along with you, then it will definitely be going to stressful and you will be in an enigma while choosing the right dress. Hence, it is advised that keep it small and avoid taking insecure people along with you at that time.

    3. SHOPPING WITHOUT ANY FRAME OF REFERENCE
      Another mistake which usually happens with the brides is that they start discovering the styles and designs in a wedding dress without framing any context in mind. You should be very clear about your bridal dress like what exactly you are looking for in the wedding dress.


      Moreover, the setting of the wedding is equally important while selecting the wedding dress. Therefore, before entering the store, take along with you some notes and images of the wedding dress to get some help.

    4. UNREALISTIC BUDGET
      Determining the budget before going to the shopping for the wedding dress is extremely essential. Without planning about the budget of your bridal dress, you may likely to spend more than your needs or requirements.


      In addition, there are many other expenses on wedding dress like alteration charges, accessories, dry cleaning and preservation of the dress after marriage. Therefore, keep in mind the expenses and prepare a budget accordingly.

    5. DON’T TRY TOO MANY DRESSES
      The foremost and essential thing to keep in mind is that don’t try too many options in the wedding dress.


      If you are trying several options while finding the best wedding dress according to your style and personality, then you will definitely be going in a perplexed state and choosing the appropriate dress will become more difficult.

    6. AVOID CUSTOMIZED WEDDING DRESS
      If you are planning for a customized wedding dress, then remember that it will surely take time. First of all, you need a designer to craft a beautiful dress for your wedding day and searching the best one requires time and patience. Secondly, a customized dress can be expensive too.


      Thus, if you don’t have enough budget and time, then it’s useless to think about it anyway.

    7. PURCHASING EVERYTHING AT ONCE CAN BE PROBLEMATIC
      The most important thing to keep in mind while purchasing the bridal dress is ‘Do not purchase everything all at once.’ Most of the times, the designer or the stylist will suggest you to purchase the accessories, jewellery, shoes, and other items matching with the look.


      Without any doubt, you will get trapped in their lucrative offers. Hence, don’t be in a hurry and before finalizing the add-ons, just ensure that it’s exactly right for your look.

    8. DON’T PLAN FOR FUTURE
      If you are thinking that purchasing a smaller size of the wedding dress while planning about the future to lose weight, then my dear, you are absolutely wrong.


      Just to get fit into the dress isn’t everything and even after the alteration, chances are you might not be satisfied with the look. Therefore, don’t purchase a bridal dress according to the future body posture it will be a huge mistake.

    9. DON’T PUT TOO MUCH VALUE ON OTHER’S OPINION
      Generally, if you are shopping for the wedding dress, advise, suggestions and opinions are important. However, believing your choice and instinct should be your prominent and foremost priority.


      You should consider the opinions of other people, but ultimately, your opinion about your wedding dress and its suitability should matter the most.

    10. NARROW MINDED APPROACH

      Lastly, some brides have a set approach towards their wedding dress. In simpler terms, they know what they are looking in the wedding dress, but may not be aware of the styles and patterns of the latest designs. Therefore, it is recommended that keep an open mind while purchasing the bridal dress such as the type of lace, embellishments, skirt pattern, different style of sleeves etc.
