The bridal gown is the top priority for most girls when it comes to their wedding. Everything else might be perfect but if the dress doesn’t cut the mustard, then it’s pointless. So what do you do if you’ve searched high and low and yet you cannot find that dream wedding dress?

Well, when it comes to the crunch, and you really know what you want but it isn’t available at any bridal store or on the internet (yes some people do buy their wedding gowns online), you will just need to design your own gown. You will need to bite into a large chunk of your savings to find a wedding gown designer that will deliver a quality dress that will meet your expectations.

On the bright side, at least you’re getting a gown that you know nobody else has, and comes custom-made to exactly how you like it to be. Every single detail, decided by you, isn’t that just grand?

If you haven’t got the resources to fund this dream gown of yours, you might have to sacrifice and do without a few other additions to your wedding like, forsaking the ice sculptures or that twelve-foot wedding cake.

For the last several years I’ve been a quite successful wedding planner for all types of weddings. The most important part in my books is making sure the Brides Maids complement the colors of the bride along with the wedding overall.

We need to make sure you mesh with the wedding gown and no feathers are being ruffled at all. So, just make sure you and the blushing bride are stuck together like glue as far as the color choices regarding the dresses are concerned.

Plus, up staging the bride is a huge no-no and is punishable by jail time in how many states now?
Does the bride rock the fashion world or does she fall flat on her face? If the later, help her out by telling her you really want to help with the dress decisions. If she does rock then you have nothing to worry about, right?

Pick out a beautiful dress with beautiful complementary colors to the bride and make sure it is not more extravagant then her dress in any way, again, this is obvious but you would not believe what I have seen in my years of doing this.
