Since as a bride you'll spend loads of time searching for that perfect wedding dress and trust me when I tell you that there's a good chance you'll look through hundreds before finding just the right one. You'll probably enjoy this task when you're starting out, but after trying on loads of dresses you might start getting a bit fed up. So once you get to this stage consider searching smarter not harder for that perfect wedding dress. A good way to narrow down wedding dresses is to narrow down the dress styles from different designers. You might be able to think of a couple of wedding dress designers from the top of your head but if you do a bit more research you'll be able to find a dress designer and a dress that's just right for you.
Cost of a Wedding Dress
For some the price of the dress will be an important factor. Many of us have a wedding budget and within that budget is an allotted amount that can be spent on the dress. To make sure you don't go over this budget only look at bridal gowns from designers that are within your price range. You'll also find that some designers might have dresses at different price levels so they can aim their dresses at most brides. This method is great if you're really trying to stick to your wedding budget as you shouldn't see a dress you can't afford but it isn't the best method to narrow down wedding dresses.
Looking through last years collections
Because you've probably been researching dresses online and in magazines for a while now you have probably seen a number of dresses you love but it was far too early to even consider buying your dress. Visit these designers again and see if there's something in their new wedding dress collection that you love. While this method doesn't guarantee to find you your perfect wedding dress it does give you a starting point.
Just looking at popular designers
There's a handful of very popular wedding dress designers and you will come across their names often in wedding forums. If you can't afford a this seasons dress, look for last seasons dress. If price is still a big issue see if you can get the same design second hand with enough material to have it fitted to your size.
