The Three Stages of Wedding Dress Hunting
When you’re on the hunt for wedding dresses, it’s not always as easy as having the perfect gown miraculously pop up in front of you. Often, there’s a lot of research, planning, trips to shopping outlets and hideously overpriced boutiques and, of course, the customary tear-filled meals with consoling friends to pat you on the back and say “it’s alright, we’re sure the next 72 hours of searching will go just a little bit better.” If you’re in London, a visit to an upmarket Richmond wedding dress shop could help when searching for that perfect dress, but there are some tips for brides (and the friends helping the bride-to-be cope) going through the stages we humbly call ‘dressoholism’.
The First Stage
When you begin your search for the perfect wedding dress in a city as cosmopolitan as London, it can be easy to let your imagination run away with you. Many brides often set off like a whirlwind with several different styles and ideas in mind, and it becomes more and more stressful trying to reconcile all these different ideas into one dress. When a bride can’t find what she wants because she has conflicting ideas, not even the most talented and knowledgeable owner of a Richmond wedding dress shop can make a good recommendation! Help keep things in perspective, one strong idea often makes for a truly memorable and truly beautiful wedding dress, and above all, listen to the experts. Not for nothing does Richmond, in West London, have a reputation as a bridal hotspot.
The Second Stage
The second stage is often reached when a bride has found a dress that is almost perfect. It’s stylish, it’s sumptuous, the colour is perfect – but there’s just one tiny little problem. It often doesn’t matter just what that problem is, whether it’s a seam too tight or the hem of the dress ending just an inch or two high, there’s one tiny little deal-breaker – and then it’s back to the drawing board! Many dresses sit lonely on the rack of a Richmond wedding dress shop for precisely this reason – small as it could be. Just remember that tiny details can be tailored to your own specifications and a dress that is nearly perfect, can become absolutely perfect with just a few small adjustments. Most Richmond wedding dress shops will offer this service – you may just need to ask.
The Third Stage
The third stage comes about when a dress has finally been found; it has everything the bride to be wants and more – a veritable dream come true. At this point, many brides will still often get cold feet (still, better they do over the dress than at the altar). It can be very hard to settle on one in particular; especially when the common belief is that the perfect dress might be just two shops or half an hour on the internet away. The truth is, if it’s the perfect dress you’ll just know it – so don’t waste time on ‘what ifs and maybes’, grab it before some other desperate bride does!
