4 Ways To Choose Between Bridal Gown Designers

Most brides will spend months trying to find the perfect bridal gown for their wedding. These brides will search through hundreds of dresses and designers in an attempt to find the perfect dress. They fail to realize that they could simplify their search by focusing on the bridal gown designers. There are four major ways to choose between these designers to find your dress. Each of these paths will lead you to the best designer based on the aspect of the dress that is important to you.

Cost

Cost is one of the easiest ways to choose between wedding dress designers. Different designers will have different price points. You can simply look through a plethora of designers to find their median price. You will be able to easily identify the designers that you can afford. At that point, you simply sift through all of the dresses of the designers in your price range. This option does not narrow down your choices as well as the other variables will.

Previous Work

An easy way to choose your wedding gown designer is to choose a dress that you enjoy. When you find a dress that you like the look of (through images or magazines), find the designer. You can then go through their collection to find a dress that you like. While this does not always work, it can lead you to some of the dresses that match the look that you enjoy.

Famous Names

An easy way to choose a designer is to go with a famous name. There are some designers that have cheaper lines of wedding dresses available. There are other designers that have more expensive wedding dresses available. Their dresses are well known, and their name has become well known in the wedding dress world. If you are worried about brand name, you can choose a brand name that you want. You can then find the dress that you like the most out of their collection of wedding dresses.

Custom Wedding Dresses

If you are trying to choose a designer, you may want to look for a custom made wedding dress. You can find a designer that you generally enjoy, and ask them to create a wedding dress for you. For many, this is the only way to find the perfect wedding dress. It is important to note that this is the most expensive option for wedding dresses.

Brides will each use different methods to find the perfect wedding dress for their special day. Focusing on bridal gown designers will help any bride to find this dress as quickly as possible. Brides can focus on the aspect of the wedding dress that they are most worried about, including cost, design, brand, and personality. Focus on the aspect that is important to you, and explore the dresses by the designers that fit that aspect. By focusing on a few designers, you will make your dress search efficient and enjoyable.

Brides and Bloating – Prevent bloating before your wedding day

You have spent countless hours planning and dreaming about your wedding day which is now fast approaching. As you count down the days the panic begins to set in.  How do I prevent the all too familiar pre-wedding bloating experienced by so many brides on their wedding day?

Naturally, we as women may think, I will simply starve myself and not drink a lot of liquids for a few days before my wedding.  If I do so perhaps this will help drop a bit of weight and reduce some of that nasty cellulite on my body…right?   Wrong!

Did you know that water retention is directly linked to what you eat, drink and your daily habits?

Bloating is caused primarily by dehydration. The loss of water in the body can cause constipation.  And the corresponding lack of bowel movements creates the tummy bulge.

Here are six tips to follow for at least 1-2 weeks prior to your big day:


1.  Drink 8 – 10 glasses of water a day. Drinking less fluid will not cure water retention and can actually make it worse. So drink plenty of water to flush the toxins from your body. Cellulite is a form of fat with retained water. When the body cannot get rid of the wastes and toxins it tends to store cellulite.


2.  Try to eliminate salts and refined sugars from your diet.  If you can’t eliminate these types of foods then at least cut down on their use as much as you possible can.


3.  Get some exercise. Go for a brisk walk, even if it is just 10 minutes. Movement helps you lymphatic system drain and gets the blood pumping which increases circulation. Did you know poor circulation can cause water retention?


4.  Don’t skip meals.  Much as you may think this is wise, low calorie diets have been shown to increase water retention. But do avoid high fat foods. Incorporate protein in your daily routine. While you are running around getting all the last minute details finished remember to reach for a yogurt, some cottage cheese or make yourself a protein shake. One of the most important nutrients to prevent water retention is protein.


5.  Cut down on caffeine and alcohol.  These liquids cause dehydration, plus they are empty calories.


6.  Take a good multivitamin.  Find one that has a high content of Vitamin B (12 and 6). Stress robs your body of essential vitamins, plus you are probably not eating as healthy as you should. Vitamin B is especially good to take when you are under stress, or have bloating.  I always take a daily multivitamin but supplement them with a good B vitamin.


Of course it goes without saying that you should also try your best to get proper and sufficient sleep during this stressful period.

If you can follow these six simple, natural yet highly effective guidelines then you’ll look better, feel better and be as radiant as a bride should be on her wedding day.  Take charge and eliminate that unnecessary and unwelcome pre-wedding bloating!
