HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR WEDDING DRESS ONLINE

It’s been a long time since wedding dress shopping has been a simple, streamlined process. As the world of these celebrations is ever-changing, the fashions for it follow suit, resulting in pieces that are simply to die for. And since the bridal world is as diverse as ever, the variety of designs ranging from timelessly classic to sensually daring can make the decision for the perfect one quite tricky.

While the standard before was to visit tens of bridal shops, which is incredibly time-consuming, the process of buying the right wedding dress is greatly simplified. Online shops, like TEMPÊTE, offer countless options for you to choose from, no matter if you’re traditional or an ultra-stylish one! However, we understand that some of you may be skeptical of online shopping, especially if you’re purchasing a piece of this much importance.

To ease your worries, we’ve created a simple guide on how to choose the perfect bridal dress online, ensuring a statement look that no one is bound to forget!

Know Your Silhouette

Before you start looking for wedding dresses, take a good look at your body and decide which parts you want to show off and conceal. This will give you a general idea of your look, sort of like the pillar of it. If you prefer an open back but a closed neckline, exploring halter neck options would suit your preference. For a simpler dress that allows for the addition of wedding accessories like tops, gloves, and veils, considering slip dresses or minimalistic styles would be ideal.

Style-wise, you shouldn’t worry about finding attire that will fit your silhouette. Due to the diversity of the bridal world, modern pieces are more accessible than ever, enriched with a variety of designs that will accentuate your figure perfectly. Whether you've come across a wedding brand in a different country, the advancements of online wedding shopping are unparalleled.

Getting the Best Fit

Many brides are obsessed with the size of the bridal dress rather than the fit. However, you shouldn’t pay too much mind to it because it’s not really important. What you need to do, however, is take exact measurements of your body, following each wedding brand's sizing guide. If you are falling in between sizes or if having difficulty taking measurements, get in touch with the wedding dress shop. Most of the brands will be happy to assist you and ensure you are getting a proper size of your dream wedding attire. At the end of the day, they also want to see a smile on your face when you receive your bridal piece.

Another crucial aspect in achieving the perfect fit for your wedding dress is budgeting for alterations. A flawless fit on the first attempt might be rare, so setting aside a budget for potential alterations ensures your outfit can be tailored precisely to your preferences and needs.

Research, Research, Research

When shopping online, you have the world of bridal dresses at your fingertips, but this can sometimes become overwhelming. How do you narrow down your search? Think about the venue, types of wedding dresses offered in stores, materials, and more. Still, you should always be open to new ideas. For instance, you might have always pictured yourself in a ball gown, but based on thorough research, a mesh top with gorgeous bridal pants might be more right up your alley. Simply put, always try to remain open-minded - you’ll be surprised with the outcome! 

At the same time, you should also think about wedding accessories. To get the right dress, your look needs to be nothing short of perfect. That said, be on the lookout for some wedding jewelry while scrolling to complete the look.
