How to pick your ideal wedding attire

Finding the perfect wedding outfit can be the most exciting, yet nerve-wracking, parts of your wedding planning. Finding the perfect bridal boutique for you is just one step in the process of finding your dream dress. 

Before attending your bridal boutique appointment, having a clear idea of what you are looking for beforehand is always ideal in helping you narrow down your search. Discover all the different types of styles, cuts, and colours in our ultimate guide blog.

If you have already found your perfect Essex wedding venue, it may be worthwhile also taking this into consideration. Often brides hosting their wedding in a mansion or manor house tend to go for a more classic and glamorous approach, compared to those brides getting married in a wedding barn. 

You may also want to consider alternatives to a wedding dress.

Wedding dress alternatives 

Traditionally, brides have always opted for a white gown as it tends to be perceived as having a strong symbolic meaning. However, many women have thrown away the rule book when deciding their wedding attire. White wedding suits and jumpsuits are quickly gaining in popularity, with many brides opting for a different colour gown on their wedding day. 

The most important thing about choosing your wedding attire is that it represents YOU. Don’t feel obligated to wear a white wedding dress because that is traditional. As long as you feel comfortable and confident in your choice, that is all that matters.
