The ultimate guide to finding the perfect wedding dress
Finding the perfect wedding dress can feel like a big decision – and it is! Your dress should reflect your personality, fit the wedding mood and highlight your best features. At One & Only, we’re here to help you every step of the way. Here’s our ultimate guide to finding the dress that will make you shine.
1. Know your needs and wants
The most important thing is to start by feeling out. Consider what type of dress you feel comfortable in. Think about the wedding venue and theme – a light and airy dress might be better suited to a beach wedding, while a dramatic ball gown might be perfect for a castle wedding.
2. Start early
We recommend that you start looking at dresses at least 8-12 months before your wedding. This gives you time to research options and schedule fittings without stress. If you want a custom-made dress, it is especially important to be in good time.
3. Choose the right silhouette
Your body shape plays a big role in choosing a silhouette. Here are some popular options:
- A-line : Flattering and versatile – fits most body shapes.
- Fit & Flare : Perfect for highlighting curves.
- Ball Gown : The ultimate princess style.
- Trumpet : Modern and sophisticated.
4. Be open to trying something new
Even if you have an idea of what you want, it can be a good idea to try on different styles. Often, a dress you hadn't considered will surprise you by being just the right fit.
5. Remember the details
Once you've found your dress, it's time to think about the rest of your look. Consider:
- Accessories : Jewelry, veils, and shoes that complement the dress.
- Hairstyle and makeup : Create a harmonious look that matches the style of the dress.
6. Prepare for fittings
During fittings, it is important to bring the shoes and underwear you plan to wear on the day. This will ensure that the dress fits perfectly.
7. Trust your gut feeling
When you find the right dress, you will feel it. Maybe you will have tears in your eyes, maybe it just feels right – listen to that feeling.
