Find your perfect wedding dress using these 5 steps

  1. Start your search in time! It's best to order a wedding dress several months in advance, because sometimes the exact model you want still needs to be ordered.
  2. Prepare well and look for inspiration on Pinterest or Instagram. Think carefully about the kind of wedding dress that suits your figure. Read more about the perfect wedding dress for every figure here.
  3. Also important is the budget you want to spend on your wedding dress. Also take into account the accessories that go with it.
  4. Already during the fitting, it is important to wear the right lingerie. For example, skin-colored panties can already come in handy.
  5. Do not forget to try on several wedding dresses, so you can be sure of the choice you will eventually make.

Find the perfect silhouette wedding dress

There are many different silhouettes of wedding dresses. The most important thing with this is to find the shape that you like and that also suits you. We list them here for you.

  1. A-line
    The A-line wedding dress is undoubtedly among the most chosen shape by brides. Indeed, it accentuates the waist and camouflages the hips

  2. Mermaid
    The mermaid wedding dress is a tight-fitting wedding dress that ends in a loose skirt at the bottom, as evoked by a mermaid's tail. It accentuates hips and belly very brightly.

  3. Ball gown
    The ball gown is very similar to the A-line dress, but has a wide skirt. The ball gown is also called the princess dress.

  4. Empire
    The Empire wedding dress is a dress with a short bodice and a skirt that goes straight down. This wedding dress creates a bit of the illusion of length making it very popular with smaller brides.

  5. Fit & Flare or trumpet
    This wedding dress is very similar to the mermaid dress, but it flows into a loose skirt already above the knee. Like the Empire dress, this creates an illusion of length.

  6. Straight
    If you do not want to accentuate your waist or hips, it is best to choose the straight wedding dress. This one shows off your curves well, but does so in a more subtle way.

FAQ Wedding Dresses

How much does a wedding dress cost?

Wedding dresses come in all shapes and colors, as well as all price ranges. Depending on whether you go to the bridal store or buy your dress online, it will probably have a different price tag. The exact price that you ultimately want to spend on your own wedding dress also depends entirely on your budget, of course.

How far in advance should I start looking for a wedding dress?

Choosing a wedding dress should be done 8 to 11 months in advance. You have to take into account that your dress may have to be ordered, may come from abroad and may have to be retouched.

Is it necessary to make an appointment when trying on a wedding dress?

If you are looking for your wedding dress in a bridal store, it is usually necessary to book an appointment. This way, the designer can spend enough time on your needs and desires and in doing so, she can fully focus on giving the right advice.

How many people can I bring to my wedding dress fitting?

That is usually up to you unless the store imposes a maximum number of visitors. Most people bring their witnesses, sisters or mother.

Will you wear the same wedding dress at your civil wedding?

Does your legal wedding fall on the same day as your wedding ceremony? Then you might choose one and the same beautiful dress for both occasions. If your civil wedding does not fall on the same day as the wedding party, you may prefer to wear a different wedding dress anyway.
