Wedding Series – Dress Shopping
Every bride envisions their big day unfolding in a slightly different way, but it’s safe to say that they can all agree on one thing – planning can be an extremely complicated and overwhelming process. That’s not to say it isn’t worth all of the long hours and hiccups encountered along the way once the special day finally arrives, but a seemingly growing list of to-dos can make the journey tough to withstand. First, the venue, then the flowers, the guest list and photography – check, check, check & check. That’s just the beginning. One of the most significant decisions a bride makes leading up to her wedding day is what gown she’ll choose for her walk down the aisle.
