How do you know it is "THE WEDDING DRESS"

I have seen hundreds of Brides try on wedding gowns. For some it can be as easy as the first dress. Others only have weeks before the wedding, and they are freaking out, usually they throw up there hands and say, "I'm just going in jeans and t-shirt!". I have yet to see a bride get married in jeans, unless they wanted to.
Everyone has heard "When it's the dress you just know it". Sometimes Brides put on something that I think is nice, maybe not WOW for their bodies, but when I see how they just...glow I don't say anything. Although if they want suggestions I will have them try-on something that I think will enhance their shape.

These are MiMi's tips to finding the right gown

• You are a woman, show off your curves. A waist that looks smaller then your bust and hips is ALWAYS sexy.
• Can you see yourself wearing this at the wedding site? Does it look more like the Church, Beach, Victorian Garden or a Las Vegas wedding.
• Would your grandchildren make fun of you. Think timeless trendy does come back in cycles (every 30 yrs or so).
  
• If someone other then your Mom cries, says WOW, or is unusually speechless. You've got a winner.

• If you can't stop looking at yourself in wonder, or you just don't want to take it off. Beautiful and comfortable is very important.

Here is my most important tip, before a consultant tries a dress on you let them know your budget. Why try on a dress that is going to be WAY more then you really want to pay. Remember that 89 % of WOMEN need alterations, figure in another 10 % - 50 % of what you just paid to the cost. Also there are shoes, undergarment,and if you choose to do a veil and headpiece. These things just add up. So if a sales associate turns up her nose and announces that nothing is that price, trust me you don't want her helping you!
