Your First Step To Finding A Perfect Dress

Upon arrival you will be greeted warmly by one of their professional and courteous bridal consultants and assisted in completing a simple bridal registry form. This will help your bridalconsultant get a sense for your personal style and the ideas you’ve already put together for your wedding plans. Your bridal consultant will also show you the four silhouettes of gowns and briefly explain some of the different fabrics and construction of the wedding gowns you will try on. The whole process will take one hour to no more than 90 minutes.

Here are some of Reflection’s top tips for things you must do before you buy your wedding gown:

1) Get a clear picture of what you want your wedding to look like in your mind.
Write down six adjectives that best describe how you want to look and feel on your wedding day. for example, you may write words such as: traditional, romantic, princess like, lavish, minimalist, sexy, sophisticated, etc.>

2) Try on the different silhouettes of gowns to find out what looks best on your figure.
All wedding gowns fall under four basic silhouettes. These are: the ball gown (the most traditional of the categories, has a full bodice and waistlinethat leads to a very full skirt), the empire (has a high waistline which falls to a slimmer skirt), the A-line or princess (features vertical seams flowing from the shoulders down to an A-shaped flared skirt) and the sheath (closely follows the line of the body).

3) Select the color and fabric of your gown.
The same dress style can look and feel quite different in a different color or fabric. Even though white has traditionally been the color of most gowns, more and more gowns are being designed with color in the details. you may want to consider an off white, ivory or blush/champagne color as a way to enhance your complexion. Choose a color and fabric that best reflects the mood you are trying to create at your wedding.

4)Determine what features you want on your gown.
These features include the type of neckline, waistline, train, beadwork or lace on the bodice and skirt, and other decorations or embellishments.

5) Accept help from knowledgeable and professional bridal consultants.
A good bridal consultant will ask lots of questions to get more clarity about your special day.

With Reflection’s huge selection of hundreds of gowns sizes 0-28, professional bridal consultants, and affordability, the process of getting your wedding dress is easy and stress-free.
