Is the first item on your wedding planning checklist, “try on wedding dresses”? Not so fast. In the Spring 2009 issue of InStyle Weddings magazine, designer Vera Wang cautions again making the dress your first purchase. She says, “Unless you decide on the venue and know how many guests you’re having, you can’t properly choose a dress. . .”
Why? A ball gown or a dress with a train would overwhelm a small venue with 75 guests. On the other hand, a bride in a short, casual dress would be lost and out-of-place in a large venue with 300 guests.
So pay attention to what Vera suggests. She is, after all, one of the top celebrity wedding dress designers in the world.
