5 things a bride-to-be should consider before getting a wedding dress

Having a wedding dress budget helps you avoid such situations where bride-to-be spend all their money on wedding dress with little or nothing left to get other accessories that is needed.

3. Venue  

Before you go ahead with your choice of wedding dress, you should consider the venue or location for your wedding ceremony.

When you have your wedding location in mind, you are better able to pick a material that suit that environment and one that guarantees your comfortability.

Always remember that you can get a wedding dress that is simple yet classy.

4. Weather  

Another factor you should not forget to consider when getting a wedding dress is the weather or climate of your country of residence.

We all know that in Nigeria, for instance, there is the rainy season, dry season and harmattan season. So, you should consider what season your wedding ceremony falls before you conclude on the kind of wedding dress to go for.

If your wedding falls in February, it is best you go for lighter-weight fabrics. If it falls in between November and December, you should go for heavy satins, silks and even some laces as they are better worn in cooler months.

5. Religion/culture  

You should consider your religion, culture or beliefs before choosing your wedding dress.

The way a Muslim lady dresses for her wedding is quite different from the way a Christian lady does. So, you need to familiarise yourself with the wedding dress styling pattern that is peculiar to your religion.

Also, when it comes to choice of colour for a wedding dress, most brides especially those from a Christian background make use of white dress for their church wedding. But in some other countries like Pakistan, China, Bhutan, Portugal, the use of other colours is allowed.

In all, it is important you look stunning in your wedding dress. Ensure you put all the above factors into consideration and I am sure you will get the best wedding dress that suit you perfectly for your big day.
