Beginners guide to find my dream dress
Timing, measurements, inspiration. The sleeves, the fabric, the length… choosing a wedding dress is a journey, an extra special one. Today we will guide you through all the phases, granting a smooth and blissful path of discovery that will surely bring you the best memories after saying “Yes”. Follow along.
After you have decided on a date and location, start by making a moodboard. A visual plan is an extra helpful tool to better visualize, compare and decide the mood you want for your wedding. If needing some extra help, head to our Pinterest and start pinning flower decorations and bouquets, bridal accessories, table settings and everything you want your wedding to revolve around. Inspiration for your bridal dress will come naturally after.
How long before the actual date should I start looking for a wedding dress, you might ask… it depends. Ideally, your first appointment in-store should be scheduled 7 to 9 months before the wedding. This time frame allows the bride to feel completely relaxed, not compromising her choice due to lack of time.
Look for a dress that matches your personality! The most important aspect to ensure comfort, quality and a superb fit would be the fabric. Natural fibers like silk, cotton or wool, in exchange for synthetic ones are a great quality upgrade. Carta Branca Dresses are made in 100% silk, with an unmatched lightness and feel like no other. And remember “a dress should embrace your beauty and soul”, words by Chiara De Vlieger, our Head of Design who assures you’ll be the happiest bride if you choose a lightweight dress!
Ideally, 2 fittings are enough after you decide on your dream dress. Make sure you bring seamless lingerie, similar to the one you will wear on your wedding day, as well as the shoes, the hair and plenty of questions you’d like to see answered by your bridal experts.
