At DBLA, we do meet with a lot of brides who purchase from us after choosing a gown and experiencing some buyer's remorse. This happens more than one might think, and we have some tips to help ensure that this doesn't happen to you...
First, get a feel for the many different silhouettes offered by looking through bridal magazines. Think about what will be the most flattering and the most comfortable to you on the Big Day. If you aren't a strapless kind of gal, then a strapless gown will drive you nuts at your party. If you dreamed about a mermaid cut but don't own a pencil skirt in your entire wardrobe, this might not be the most flattering look.
Second, pick a venue, then pick the dress. The venue will largely determine what kind of dress you should wear. An extravagant ball gown will not be the right match for an intimate garden affair. Picking the venue will clear up a lot of confusion about the direction of the event, the dress budget, and your overall aesthetic.
Third, every bride has a feel for what kind of materials will make her go wild. Lace, silk, satin, beading, tulle - your personal taste will determine whether the gown will be more simple or more detailed. Ultimately, you should stay in your comfort zone. A wedding gown is not the time to be adventurous and go backless if the mere thought makes you feel squeamish. Wear what feels right and what feels comfortable. That way you will be sure to seek the spotlight instead of run away from it.
Miking the time to think through these three buckets of concern will make you confident in your final decision, with no chance for buyer's remorse.
