That<\/em>\u00a0dress: the one that you have dreamed about your entire life…<\/p>\n Wedding dress shopping is fun. All of those road trips with your \u201cgirlies\u201d trying on beautiful dresses, while sipping champagne. Heaven!<\/p>\n Unfortunately finding the perfect wedding dress can be very stressful for some brides.<\/p>\n When I found my wedding dress I was very happy with it and felt great in it. Did I cry? No. Here are some tips on finding your wedding dress :<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Allow as much time as you can ahead of the wedding \u2013 brides often don\u2019t find \u201cthe\u201d dress in the first few trips and can get tired of looking. Park it for a little while and then go back to it.<\/p>\n \u2022 Do not bring all 4 bridesmaids, your mum, his mum, his gran, your gran, your favourite aunt, your mum\u2019s best friend when wedding dress shopping! More people = more opinions=more stress = less fun!<\/p>\n \u2022 The sales assistants in the bridal boutiques spend every day with brides. If they suggest a dress you hadn\u2019t picked \u2013 give it a go \u2013 you never know!<\/p>\n \u2022 Visit Joan Cashman at the Colour and Image Academy<\/a>;Joan offers Bridal Consultations where she will guide you through the decision process and show you how to select styles that suit your body shape and personality from the cuts, styles and fabrics for your wedding dress to the honeymoon wardrobe.<\/p>\n \u2022 You have to be comfortable on your wedding day. You have to be able to move freely, pose for photos and dance all night \u2013 so choose a dress that you see yourself doing this in.<\/p>\n \u2022 Say I Do Bridal Boutique<\/a>\u00a0has a stunning collection of Lizzie Agnew dresses. Lizzie is an Irish designer and makes beautiful vintage and antique style gowns. Definitely worth a look. Say I Do also stock Pronovias, and will have their preview collection in store this autumn!<\/p>\n \u2022 Get the undies right!

\nI met somebody who was also getting married, and when she found her dress she said, \u201cI cried and Mum cried\u201d. I felt like starting the search all over again, there was obviously something wrong with me, because I didn\u2019t share that experience. No!
\nEverybody is different and it is a different experience for everybody!<\/p>\n
\nin Dublin have a wonderful selection of bridal underwear and are worth visiting.<\/p>\n
