You’ve found the Wedding Dress of your dreams…have you decided on your First Dance Dress? This week’s posts feature a few considerations when selecting your dress to live a dream in.
Step 1
Make it memorable – select a dress that you will never tire of seeing in photographs, whether taken by your photographer or taken by friends and family. Who can forget Audrey’s dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior Couture when she accepted her Best Actress Oscar?
Choose a dress that photographs beautifully—selfies can be extremely helpful when deciding. Hint—Silk is one of Jane’s favorite fabrics, not only for it’s luxe feel but also for the beautiful way it moves and flows.
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
Why yes! This does come in pink! When it comes to choosing the perfect accent color for your bridal shower dress, pink is a gorgeous choice. Not only is pink a beautiful bridal party color, but it also adds an unexpected element to your stunning little white dress.
