Finding Your Dream Dress
Every bride deserves to feel beautiful and be the center of attention on her wedding day and Imani swank is always here to make your dream dress a reality!!!
Below are some useful tips when searching for the perfect wedding dress:
Do your Research; Find dresses you love online, check out wedding dresses and different designs. You can check our Instagram page @imani_swank, we have loads of dresses that could help your search. Try to familiarize yourself with styles, silhouettes, colors and necklines but while doing your research try not to overwhelm yourselves with unnecessary information. Often brides can be too focused on one silhouette or neckline or dress design; be open to the possibility that your dream dress might be something a little out of your comfort zone.
Set a Budget: Before walking into a bridal store, it’s best to set a budget and know your limits. Be upfront with the bridal consultant, that way you won’t fall in love with a dress you can’t afford but still be flexible, your dream dress might fall a little over your budget and you don’t want to lose your dream dress over a few extra Naira notes, which is why we try to accommodate different budgets at Imani swank.
Check Your Closet: This might be a bit of a shocker but it can be very helpful, most of you regular dresses could help you narrow your search for your dream dress, if you go through your closet, try on your normal dress and check out what flatters your figure most, you could also try on those dresses you never really did like and see what you don’t like about them, this process can be very helpful when picking out your dress.
Don’t take an audience; Every bride needs her support system, but not an audience. Try to limit the number of people you take with you when shopping for a wedding dress, different opinions could leave you more confused and heartbroken than you think. Go along with your best friend and your mom or just that one person whose opinion you really respect.
Keep an Open Mind: Most brides place themselves in one box, simply because your tall and slender doesn’t mean that the only silhouette for you is a column dress. Sometimes when dress shopping, the silhouette you never expected could be your dream dress. So be open-minded and try on different silhouettes, you never know where your dress is lurking.
Wear the Right Underwear; Without proper undergarments, wedding dress try-on can pretty much be a waste. The right bra can go a long way to help the fit of the dress. Remember a bridal consultant will more than likely be assisting you in and out of gowns, so for both your sakes, wear something decent, you don’t want to increase your anxiety by worrying about your granny panties or bad bras, it advisable to wear a strapless bra and cotton.
Have fun; Wedding dress shopping isn’t only about finding the perfect dress, it’s also about making memories that last longer than the dress. Imani swank bridal consultants are always there to create that memory you deserve. . . . . . . like the saying goes ‘when you wear white you’re always right’.
