Nothing can cause hysteria in a bride like not being able to find her dream bridal gown. With thousands of bridal gowns in Cape Town to choose from, it can be overwhelming to choose the one that fits you just right, especially if you have no idea of what it is you’re looking for. Trying on hundreds of gowns will only end in frustration.

That’s why we’ve put together some tips to help you find your dream bridal gown in Cape Town.

Look for ideas on Pinterest

While there are thousands of wedding gowns on Pinterest, you can easily find some inspiration by taking some time to browse. By doing this type of research, you’ll get a better idea of what is available, in fashion and what you like when it comes to fabric, shape and texture.

Choose a dress according to the mood of your wedding

By establishing the mood for your big day – daytime/nighttime wedding, winter/summer etc. – it will make it easier to narrow down your dress choices.

Consider your body shape

You might have an idea of what you want but it’s better to try on a few different shapes at your first appointment. You might be surprised to find another style that fits you better than the one you originally planned. In the end, you want your dress to emphasise your best features while minimising your not-so-good features.

Choose your colour wisely

The colour of your dress is another element that can make you feel beautiful and confident. The shade of the fabric can enhance your skin tone just like the silhouette can enhance your shape. Before you make your final decision, make sure you try on a few different shades of white, or even colour to see what looks good on you.

Just be yourself

Keep in mind that your dress represents who you are. While it can be tempting to lean toward making a fashion statement, it’s best to stay true to yourself.
