Carisa and Richard: Wedding Dress Shopping

This is part 9 of the new blog series about Carisa and Richard's wedding planning process up until their wedding on August 31, 2013. In addition to sharing with readers their love story and wedding planning adventures, insights and tips for brides and groom's planning their own wedding will also be shared!

When you are choosing your wedding dress, consider your existing wardrobe. What do you have in there that makes you look and feel great? Do these items have anything in common? Are they enhancing a specific part of your body? When you have nailed down what you think looks great on you, start looking at wedding gowns that would do the same for you. Of course, this gown is going to be the biggest and grandest dress you will ever wear but don't go overboard. You don't want to regret your decision when you are looking at your wedding pictures in 20 years! Chose a dress that reflects your personality and allows you to feel beautiful.

Months ago, I had this conversation with Carisa and suggested she come by the Wishahmon - Glorious Gowns showroom. If you have the opportunity to try on lots of different styles of dresses without getting dirty looks from salepersons, why not? After two hours of trying on gowns, we decided we liked the top of dress #1, the middle of dress #2, and the bottom of dress #3. Sounds like a lost cause but really it helped narrow down what Carisa really liked.

After our fun appointment, Carisa had/has two opportunities to purchase her dress aboard. If you get this chance too, seize the opportunity! This is your chance to get a dress that no one has ever seen in Canada before. So excited to see Carisa in her gown!
